Men's fashion Spring/Summer 2008

 
 
Open in new windowI'm afraid to say it guys but fashion has not really changed all that much over the past year. Skinny jeans or straight leg trousers worn with plimsole's or lace ups are still in, as well as tailoring. Bright colours are still lining the shelves and blazers and cardigans are continuing to be popular. One thing I have noticed it with the hair, styles seem to be getting bigger and longer on top so if you have been cutting off a thick head full of hair now might be the time to experiment! Styles are from the rockabilly quiff to smoother styles where the hair is swept across the face.

The key looks are:


Oxbridge School Culture - think blazers worn with shorts for summer.

Preppy - baseball jackets, slim trousers, plimsoles, logos, cardigans.

Old School High Society Opulence - neck scarves, shirts worn under v-necks, blazers and trousers.

Light weight suiting - light summer suits worn with new style leather sandals and light weight shoes.

Hi Tech - bright colours, mixing patterns, new industrially engineered fabrics.

Sports wear - 80's style tracksuit tops, button down polo shirts, relaxed skinny jeans, v necks, plimsoles and hoodies.


A summary of the styles to look out for in the shops are:

Coats


Bomber jackets
Trench Coats
Blazers

Tops

Button down polo shirts
V necks
Button down Y neck T-shirts/ long sleeve tops
Hoodies
80's inspired tracksuit tops

To the other extreme really baggy jeans hanging off your bum! (be careful with this one, over 30's might look a bit silly!)
