Men's Trends

1. Bright On

1. Bright On

If designers don’t always see things in black and white, why should you? Turn up the lights this spring with bold, solid colours like royal blue, green, yellow and traffic-stopping red. Look for this trend to make a splash in outerwear (think windbreakers and rain coats) and accessories (shoes and belts). Paired with neutrals, these hot hues really pack a punch.
2. Print Run

2. Print Run

Judging from the variety of prints making the rounds this spring (snakeskin, Hawaiian, tie-dye, nature, retro 50s) now’s the time to pick up one of these cool statement-making pieces. T-shirts and casual short sleeve button downs are the best way to wear this colourful trend. Big points for personality, just remember less is more.
3. Club Rules

3. Club Rules

Looking to put a little prep into your step? Start with a classic pair of loafers (no socks please!), ankle-grazing or cuffed trousers and a tailored blazer. Throw in a few thin knits, a pair of tennis shorts, a boathouse-full of navy, white and red, a dash of pink and green and a pocket square or two. Ta-da! Say hello to Ivy League luxe.
4. The New Suit

4. The New Suit

From Crayola-brights to washed-out neutrals, the latest crop of suits is anything but basic black. Worn with dress shirts or t-shirts, these new 2-piece suits are a touch boxier than in seasons past. Sleeves are pushed up for a more casual feel, and trouser legs are slightly roomier. Whether you prefer one-button or two-button is up to you. Bonus: Wear your suit as separates and you’ll get three looks for one.
5. On the Double

5. On the Double

Double-breasted jackets continue to rack up major style points this season. The new slightly shorter versions create a contemporary feel and bid bye-bye to the relaxed DB jacket of yesteryear. Paired with your favourite jeans or khakis, it says modern-day gent. Navy blue is a classic choice but bright hues like red or yellow also get the green light this spring.

6. It's a Tie

6. It's a Tie

Summer weight-suits and blazers beg for knockout neckwear. Knit ties or linen and raw silk versions add texture to a streamlined look. Stick with a monochromatic palette or try mixing neutrals with brights; either way you’re on track. More of a bowtie man? From classic black to 70s-inspired prints, these old school accessories are back for another round. The only rule to remember: go big or go home.
7. Desert Heat

7. Desert Heat

Whether you’re planning a safari adventure or just want to look cool in the concrete jungle, now’s the time to kick your khaki into overdrive. With its 70s-inspired vibe (wide collar, front pockets and a belt), the reworked safari jacket is the latest must-have for spring. Pair it with denim or bright trousers. Other Serengeti-approved staples include camp shorts, desert boots, tribal-inspired prints and utility bags.
8. Tough Guy

8. Tough Guy

From the classic motorcycle jacket to the leather blazer, this spring ushers in a whole new wardrobe of rough and tumble toppers. Black gets top billing but eye-catching hues like fire engine red, are in hot pursuit. Tricked-out fabrics (quilting, patent, distressed) add a modern edge to this wardrobe staple. Not sure what to buy? Leather bomber jackets and car coats are on trend and timeless.
9. Best Foot Forward

When it comes to spring’s coolest new footwear, loafers and brogues make the grade. Every prepster needs a pair of penny loafers, whether they are whiskey-toned, high shine, perforated or brightly coloured. Oh and about those socks? Just say no. Brogue-wearing boys opt for classic lace-up versions with contrast coloured soles.
10. Frame Game

From Bradley Cooper to Brad Pitt, every leading man needs a great pair of sunglasses. This spring choose from a variety of sleek styles including aviator, big and bold with tinted lenses (oh-so A-list!), round tortoise shell, classic black, clear plastic and bright colour. When it comes to sunglasses, one pair is never enough.
