Men have got it so easy, don’t they!? Suits for the office and jeans at the weekend. Sorted! Erm, not quite I think. There’s definitely a knack to dressing ‘well’ and picking combinations that are classic but interesting and different.
I’ve been collecting pins on men’s style and fashion trends on Pinterest and Tumblr for a while and feel it’s time to reveal my favourite picks. I’ve tried to keep the fashion autumnal as I want to bring you a new board every season and added a few lifestyle shots that will make any man weak at the knees… vintage Rolex, Porsche or Triumph anyone? Not to forget the manly beers around the campfire, hiking, biking and surfing. Plus a few of my favourite male icons like Ryan Gosling (DREAMY), Javier Bardem (MANLY) and Laird Hamilton (DUDE) to add a bit of glamour. Et voilà… there’s your men’s fashion and style mood board!
If you want specific trends, here’s what I’ve picked up for the coming season. Tweed is HUGE as are chunky knits, rugged boots with suits, beads and bracelets peaking out from a formal shirt, denim in the office, grandpa style bow ties, duffle coats, hiking boots and wild beards depending on what line of business you’re in. If you want to start somewhere wear layers and more layers. I love a shirt and tie with a waistcoat, suit jacket and coat, maybe even a handkerchief poking out. As you know Patrick Grant is a bit of a fashion icon for me and a good place to start if you want to dress formally with a bit of an edge. Check out his new range for Debenhams for some stylish but affordable gear.
Overall, there’s still a distinct 60ies Mad Men flavour around with bow ties and big black frame glasses newly interpreted for the 21st Century of course. Make of it what you like but don’t forget to layer up!
Enjoy and I hope you’re inspired!
