Fall style for menswear continues to focus on the luxury lifestyle, but designers are redefining iconic pieces to provide optimum comfort. AW18 means finding the perfect balance of smart and casual. Here are the trends to look out for in relaxed, yet tailored, clothing.
LUXE LEISURE
This season’s streetwear staples are elevated with statement-making vibes. Thinkcashmere hoodies, deconstructed blazers and designer denim.
ANIMAL PRINT
Leopard is the neutral of the season. It will liven up anything and it goes well with everything. But be aware: a little goes a long way.
THE ’90S
Expect a new generation of athletic garments inspired by the ’90s revival. Look for full tracksuits, side-striped trousers and bucket hats.
TONAL DRESSING
After several seasons of bold and bright, things are starting to quiet. Think shaded colors in soft, seasonal fabrics.
MINIMALIST SNEAKERS
Treat yourself to a pair of designer kicks. Pair them with your professional attire for a modern finish.
TECHNICAL OUTERWEAR
Give your outerwear an upgrade. Invest in lightweight fabrics infused with high- tech function. They will last a lifetime and keep you cozy all winter long.
IT’S ALL ABOUT CHECKS
Whether it’s macro or mini, this classic heritage pattern adds character to your look. Try out a pair of wool tartan track pants. But take it one piece at a time.
