Men’s Fashion

As trends change, so do the palettes. This spring/summer the colours of menswear take soothing neutral, monochrome and pastel shades, and stimulate them with bright vibrant colours and exciting patterns.   Blue This year’s biggest colour trend is, thankfully, a wardrobe staple for most men. This also means that another wardrobe staple should be pulled out often - the classic blue jean. Remember, the most important thing to get right with jeans is the fit; as rules of thumb, short men should avoid anything with a low crotch, and tall or wide men should make sure they select jeans made specifically for them. With so many specialists selling taller gents' jeans online now there’s no excuse for ill-fitting denim.   Pastels Taking influence from the womenswear catwalks, pastel colours have made a definite entrance into the menswear scene. Soft shades work for even the most fashion-shy men; blush pink, light blues, faded yellows and lilacs are colours to embrace.  Invest in a couple of staple pastel pieces and wear them with your current looks to add an on-trend hint of colour that’ll look fantastic when the sun finally starts shining.   Neon Punchy neon colours have made a controversial step into the spotlight this season. It takes confidence to pull off large chunks of neon in your outfit, but if you have the right attitude then go for it. Otherwise, aim for subtle accents such as neon-soled shoes or an electric hue backpack. Remember to use contrast to your advantage with neons, combining them with muted tones or plain jeans for a spark of vibrancy in your outfit.   Orange Orange is firmly on-trend this season, which is good news. It’s very versatile, cheers you up and exudes a playful and creative personality. As with neon colours, use orange sensibly; for the less bold and brash amongst us then orange hues look best infused into an otherwise monochrome outfit.   Camo Camouflage print is still very much the trend of the season; however the prints are getting darker, more faded and much more subtle. This is ideal for those who were tempted to experiment with the print over the last year but prefer a simpler style. Wear the classic military print with bursts of bright colours, the aforementioned orange works well here. You could also use subtle splashes of camouflage print to add an effortless sense of style to your formal outfit – think camo pocket squares or laptop cases.

Every year when the sun starts to shine, the same men's fashion trends seem to come out. While there's nothing wrong with nautical-inspired color palettes and eye-wateringly bright prints, you're sure to have worked those last year, and the year before…   So what can you do to get out of that summer style rut? Try your hand at these on-trend alternatives to same-old fashion:   Get military This is an enduring style that often gets overlooked as soon as the weather warms up, but there's a lot to be said for the masculine air it'll afford you. The tip to remember? Wear it with a sense of humor. A pair of camo shorts or a military shirt is going to make you stand out anyway, so you may as well go for it in bright colors! Look smart Summer's no reason to let standards slip! A polo shirt from a classic brand like Hackett will keep you cool while making sure you look good. Opt for pastel shades to keep it current, or choose a darker shade for even more flexibility. Team with chinos and - depending on the shade of polo shirt you've gone for - be bold in your choice of color.

Be brave There's no better way to sidestep the boredom of same-old fashion than taking well-calculated risks, and we think the following are just that:

• Animal print. As long as it's in a single, fairly subtle color scheme rather than clashing brights, it can be surprisingly easy to wear. Team a light leopard print sweater with beige chinos for a fun but simple look. Keep your shoes and hair fairly conservative though, unless you want to stray into punk territory - which is cool with us.
• Double denim. Before you let out a snort of laughter and stop reading, hear us out:  Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam has been seen working the look - so it's not just a relic from the 80s! If you can't pluck up the courage to go for a full-on jeans and jacket combo, why not look for a classic white shirt with denim detailing around the collar or pocket. Light denim is perfect for summer!
