I did a little digging to see what is trending in 2018 pertaining to men’s fashion. As a woman, it has been very eye-opening yet humbling. Men want to look good as well and have a desire to express themselves through fashion. Our society tends to generalize this notion towards women only. But 2018 is looking like it will be the year where men get to be a little more bold with their clothing as top designers are really pushing the envelope with Hawaiian prints and patchwork pants (consisting of leather-denim-khaki)!
Now whether or not I agree with the trend forecast for men’s clothing in 2018 is neither here nor there. Some are a hit while others are a miss, but it all comes down to personal taste!
In this Post I highlight the top men’s accessories that are vital for every man. Checkout the links below for more information on what’s on the radar for men’s fashion forecast (and if you need a quick laugh click on the Vogue link to see the fashions our society allows designers to get away with. Even Vogue has declared these trends as “strange”!)
TIES:
These are essential for every man! Whether it be an interview for a new job, a fancy dinner date with a potential lover/your wife, or you’re going to be the “Best Man” at your best friend’s wedding; you need to at least have a couple of go-to ties available in your wardrobe to add that finishing touch to your suit. The ties pulls it all together and is essentially the focal point of your outfit! I am a personal fan of the “skinny tie” because of its slender design and it gives instant “chic-appeal” to a man’s dress top/suit expressing that he is a minimalist with simple taste yet fashion conscious at the same time.
WATCHES:
There are so many styles to choose from today. Whether it be Michael Kors or an Apple Watch; there seems to be something available for every type of man. I recommend having one for business and one for casual, if you’re into watches or searching for one. Some men aren’t into them and like I stated before: fashion is determined by an individual’s personal taste. Check out this link on some noteworthy watches that are fashionable (a bit pricey) and worth the investment#durable
HATS:
As winter marches on, who says you can’t look legit while covering up? And there are hats for every season as you look forward to warmer weather that will be here before we know it! From beanies to fedoras and 1930s messenger boy-styled hats; this accessory is definitely one that grabs attention. But this 3-in-1 tip is essential in determining which style works best for you: shape, size, and color! These 3 points determine what hat style complements you or doesn’t flatter you whatsoever. Keep that in mind the next time you go hat shopping!
BAGS:
Women aren’t the only ones who need to carry their essentials with them while on the go! From sleek business to sporty athletic; these styles are versatile for a corporate meeting to a weekend stay or doing some work at your local cafe! Men’s bags have not faltered in popularity even though they remain more common among city-dwellers who are constantly on the go (yet want to stay stylish all at the same time)! And while I was doing my research, I discovered, that fashion designers have styled totes specifically for men! Like I said this has been very eye opening for me because some of the styles look like totes I wouldn’t mind carrying myself! But like I noted before these bags are versatile. So even if you’re not into carrying a bag around with you while your out (but you have to travel for a couple of days) these bags are roomy and stylish so you look legit on the go!
SHOES:
This fashion staple is last on the list, but certainly not the least!
Sneakers have been stealing the show lately for men and women as the trendiest shoe for any season (even occasion if you know how to rock them right)! Designers have stepped out on Faith with some of the newer styles they are trying to push with futuristic shapes and wild designs. But all you really need are the following basics:
Sneakers- exercise/casual/tourism
Sandals- vacation/warmer weather/beach
Dress Shoes- (wing-tip, oxford, loafer) business/special occasion/events
Boots- cold weather/lighter designs for early spring (Doc Martens are a great versatile style for any season)
Stay stylish my man! And as always:
