Top 5 2012 Men's Fall/Winter Trends
Top 5 2012 Fall/Winter Men’s Trends
By: Rome White
I was on Esquire.com (I think I’m in love with this
site, lol) doing some research on some of the top men’s trends for winter/fall
2012. I came across five of the biggest trends that were seen at Fashion Week.This
season dawned a lot of different styles. Take a look at the top 5 below.
The New Accent: Leather
Leather is the hottest in trend this year and it was
very evident at Paris Fashion Week this year. The trend inspired some memorable
looks (smiles) from the YSL jacket (left), and Hermès suit (right). At least
now we can think outside of the box from wearing just an “ordinary” leather
jacket.
The New Color: Blue-Black
I loved the darker look they had going on this year
(versus the “vivid” patterns from last season and the light blues). This season
still had the blue going on for the men but instead of the lighter blue this
season showed a darker blue mixed with some black pieces as can be seen in Paul
Smith (pictured left) and Corneliani (pictured right) collections. The darker
colors make the look feel a bit edgier yet not as bold at least in my opinion.
The New Outfit: Playfully Tailored
Suits have always had their space on the runway but
this year more than ever showcasing the hottest suit trend out the cropped and
oversize outerwear. Burberry Designer Christopher Bailey (left) experimented
with the cropped jacket over the tailored suit for a look that was somewhat catchy
with the way it makes the silhouette of the model look longer. The next look
came from Trussardi (right) and their designer Umit Benan with the oversized outer
coat it made the model seem average sized, but gave mob like feel and an air of
importance about the person wearing it.
The New Texture: Natural
Natural is the new texture go figure, lol. It’s
nothing new to use fur in collections, but this year’s men’s collection showcased
bolder expressions of fleece then seen in previous years. The bolder statement
was more-so evident in the Lanvin (left) collection where sheep’s fleece was
bursting out the collar and the opening of the coat. Prada (right) took a more subtle
yet controversial approach using newborn Persian Lamb pelts for their outerwear
coats.
The New Shoe: Metal-Detailed
I remember back when I was in the Air Force and my Sergeants’
wearing their black boots with the metal accents added to the bottom (that was
in fall 2006), who would have known it would become a hott trend six years
later? Custome National (left) and Louis Vuitton (right) added the metallic
look to their shoes to bring out a nice trend that I think fits nicely with the right suit.
That was the top 5 men’s trends of 2012. Hopefully the
looks you’ve seen will get you ready for the rest of the fall season, and the
winter season. Make sure to subscribe and comment.
