Up and Coming Men’s Fashion Trends for 2012

We know this is too early, but the catwalks are already seeing 2012 lines spilling over on to them and there is no better time than now to get your head around what will be big in style next year. Once the summer is over, you should start to remodel your wardrobe, ready for the winter and ready for the New Year ahead.

Here are our favourite and most wearable trends that you can expect to see in 2012.



Colours – the colours you will be seeing next year will without a doubt be bright, think turquoise, orange and pink. Just a sprinkle of these colours or a whole outfit will work equally well; don’t be afraid to dabble with colour, the brighter the better.

Tropical colours such as these will be popular all year round even in the colder months, even the Hawaiian shirt is making a comeback and has been spotted in three major runway shows so far.



Gingham is also making an unexpected appearance in catwalk shows and anything that wouldn’t look out of place at a summer picnic should be snapped up and added to any trendsetters wardrobe. Linen and cotton fabrics should be embraced in forms of jackets, trousers and shirts.

For the more extravagant male fashionistas there are a few trends that should only be attempted if you’re very brave such as crop tops with jeans, lace and sheer fabrics and meggings, yes that’s right man leggings, a brilliant name if ever we heard one. These are all things we would normally associate with female fashion but as men become more fashion conscious it seems they are taking more noted from the girls books and stealing our style favourites.



Crop tops and meggings might seem a bit odd right now but after six months of them on the catwalks we are sure these things will be as common as the quilted jacket by 2012.

Man Fashion: Men’s hoody trends for 2011

Men's hoody is one trend that never seems to go out of fashion; it may evolve slightly over the seasons but still always appears as a staple item in almost every guy’s wardrobe.



Men’s hoodies are the perfect piece for layering over other items when it starts to get a little colder, especially when they offer both comfort and style.



There are an assortment of styles of hoody available, many come in a variety of colours, some come with zips and others come with pockets.



Men’s hoodies really took off in the 70’s, which was when the hip-hop culture first appeared on the scene. High-end designers embraced the hoody and glamourised the garment in order to attract a wider audience. The hoody is no longer something that is simply worn to the gym or pulled over a tee when the weather gets a little colder; it’s now an item that can be worn on a night out or to a lunch date.

In fact the hoodies on the fashion scene today appear as popular as other must-have wardrobe staples such as jeans and tees. With so many styles available there is a hoody to suit all personalities and all occasions.



Many of the hoodies available on the market today also come in an assortment of different fabrics; the lighter fabrics are generally worn in the evening in order to create a look that is a little dressier, whilst the heavier styles are more suited to colder days or for activities such as winter sports.

The online fashion site Joe Browns has a variety of on trend cool hoodies with styles ranging from the surfer-esque Indy star to softer looks and zip through sweats. Any one of the current styles featured on the site look great teamed with either high fashion skinny jeans or casual trousers.

Man Fashion: 2010 Mens Color Trends

As we are catching up with trendy fashion, color become an important ingredients in mens fashion designs.

So let look what are the top 8 men fashion colors trends in Spring/Summer 2010 Collection.



I always like Black, which is no issue to match with other colors. Black also used by many mens fashion designers in their 2010 collections, being it total black, or combination of black and other lighter tones.

Greens, made popularized by Lavin in his 2010 collection. A calming and refreshing color as well as easy on the eye! That's the color we all miss during summer with it’s greenery and warmth.



My another favorite combination so far, Grey and metallic. More and more mens fashion designers adopt these colors and put aside traditional colors that we used to.

Blue always relate to guys like pink relates to ladies. So there is no accident that Blue is one of the top pick by mens fashion designers this year.



Brown is the second neutral color and it is as popular as black. Brown looks chic and sexy and this makes it so popular in 2010.



My favorite White looks good and noble but I think this color will do better in spring and summer rather than in winter season.



Red is the most popular color and it just couldn’t stay away from men fashion in day one.
