2015 PREDICTED FASHION TRENDS FOR MEN

Hello everyone, a huge T.G.I.F to you guys. Sure everyone is doing great. Now to my ladies out there I hope you all know we can’t have a 2015 fashion trend prediction for ladies without having one for the men as well. That would be a bit selfish of us don’t you think. We also want our men to look good just like we do right.

Sometimes I know the notion of trends in men’s fashion might seem curiously redundant, but that’s because although men’s fashion is quite simple and straightforward, however it’s also technical, with some huge attention to detail. Let’s not shy away from the technical bit and take a look at men’s fashion in a whole different light for today. So without wasting time let’s take a look at some of the predicted men’s fashion trends for 2015.

1.      PRINTS

Prints are everywhere in men’s fashion we agree, but this year the gist is on designs that are a little bit more creative. From block-colour swirls over suiting, to rich intricate mosaic tile prints, this year there would be barely any male attire that won’t come adorned.

2.      BLACK & WHITE

There’s nothing new about the black and white combo, last week it was also part of our female trends to watch out for this year. But there is a reason black and white is always a timeless go to trend. Both colours are accessible, create a great contrast and highlight smart designs. The outfit below isn’t something new, but it’s different in its layering with a contrasted trim, making a quiet but powerful effect. This is a nice office look for men (without the sandals though), air conditioning should make this office wearable in our environment. And also anyone that isn’t overly crazy with colours can work with this.

3.      LEISURE FASHION

Menswear designers know that men exist outside the world of tailored suits, denim jeans and collared shirts, but also demand other avenues of comfort and style. The leisure trend is one of those. I’m sure we’ve noticed by now guys mix a lot of colours nowadays with more casual outfits. The picture below is a perfect example, the matching socks and hat is a very cool mix. Also notice him wearing standout colours but they’re very subtle, which is the way to go for men.

4.      LOW POINTS

The slashed to the navel shirts predicted to be favoured this year are no doubt a sartorial allegiance to the rock stars of old. Men’s fashion has taken up this trend and is running with it this year. With all slithery satin shirts slipping over abs in a peek-a-boo style, this is one trend that I don’t think would be highly popular here in Nigeria. You might ask “Why?” Well, because with our high carbs diet (EBA and the rest lol) most men won’t be able to boast of the sort of abs needed to pull this off.

5.      DRESS DOWN SUITING

Over the years suit designs have become less and less formal, with fashion designers always experimenting on new ways to add a bit of edge to the traditional suit look. This year isn’t going to be different either with a couple of predicted trends that are dressing down on the formal suit look.

·         Tieless Look: Many brands are adopting the tie-less approach to suits, with the trend predicted to be a key aesthetic this year. As you can see below, the end result still looks extremely smart and sophisticated.

·         Removing The Collar: One of the insistent questions for men’s suit attire has always been, can one look smart, elegant and authoritative in a suit without wearing a collared shirt? Well, the answer is “Yes”. We point you in the direction below to take a look at the predicted trending no collar styles for the year. Our favourite piece is the Pyjama look suit. Love it.
