Men’s fashion trends are greatly different to women’s. They exist, yes. But their cycle moves much slower. Nowhere is that truer then of men’s suit trends. While there are distinct styles of suits that feature amongst 2011′s fashion trends I should note from the get-go that they’re not unique to the year – in fact, many of the key looks you’ll find in this guide…

Having long provided such a look across their labels, the Ralph Lauren house is expanding its suit range for Autumn / Fall 2010 with a new style of suit. A…

The 1980s fashion revival is coming to a close. But the revival on earlier periods, particularly from the 1930s and 1940s, remains popular. So what to do then with the military fashion trend which has proved the stalwart of fashionisers’ wardrobes for the past 2 years? Evolve it.

A few short years ago tailored shorts for men were bang-on-trend; we were moving firmly away from the 1990s and a refined cut of short promised a comfy, distinguished, yet wholly less casual look.

Goth Ninja/Batman meets Rick Owens/Dorian Gray meets Damir Doma/Japanese rock star, whatever you call it, it’s hot and it’s growing. One of the biggest yet somehow underground driven trends in the last couple of years has been the Goth Ninja; and it’s growing as a fashion trend in 2009. The figure hugging, black clad youths are perhaps the biggest consumers of the lesser celebrated designers.…

There aren’t all that many fashion accessories for men when one considers the sheer volume that exist for women. And of those that do exist, quite often you find that they’re heavily associated with a sub-culture or movement that you’re simply not interested in associating yourself with. Brooches for men are, however, one of the few men’s accessories which can cross the sub-culture divides, are…

Mark my words, Deep-V T-shirts are going to be the bane of men’s fashion trends in Spring-Summer 2009. For that very reason I’m thankful that the Deep V-Neck trend won’t be confined to the tee.
