Fashion trends spring-summer 2021

Do you follow fashion trends? I think 90% of the time your answer will be 'no', and that's perfectly natural. The fashion industry is designed so that every season designers have to come up with something new, but most of these ideas are either not suitable for normal life, or are forgotten after three months, so trying to keep track of them all is a project that is initially doomed to failure. Nevertheless, it cannot be denied that the assortment of stores where we all buy clothes depends on these very trends, so one way or another they still come to our wardrobe. This is not a bad thing: often it is fashionable things that look fresh, interesting and make the image more effective, but a critical approach is important in this matter. What does it mean? Let's show it with an example! Today we'll take a look at the 8 spring / summer 2021 men's fashion trends that Italian stylists highlight and, most importantly, how they can actually fit into your wardrobe without risking looking weird.

1. Suits with stripes

The most fashionable trend for business clothes in the spring-summer 2021 season, designers have unanimously announced the strip. Almost all brands have included navy blue suits of various styles with light stripes in their new collections.

How to apply it in life:

If the strip is thin and not very bright, then such a suit can easily become your new (and slightly more original) office set. If you want to try on a jacket with pronounced stripes, then it is better to pair it with jeans for a business casual look.

2. Pink color

In the new warm season, designers are once again trying to bring pink to men's wardrobe in all its shades and on all items of clothing: from shirts and T-shirts to jackets and business suits.

How it looks on the podium:

Versace

Ermenegildo Zegna

How to apply it in life:

It is definitely better to refrain from pink trousers and jackets (this is impractical, in the end), but the fact that a pale pink shirt looks great on many men is a proven fact. Choose a muted shade and pair it with a gray suit.

3. Tennis sweater

This spring, designers recalled such a classic, but slightly forgotten item of men's wardrobe as a tennis sweater. Chunky V-neck jumpers, both traditional and original, have flooded the catwalks and will surely appear in many stores.

Brunello Cucinelli

Tommy hilfiger

How to apply it in life:

Jumpers of any color are easy to fit into the wardrobe, you just need to be careful with the size of the V-neck: if it is small, then you can pick up a smooth T-shirt under the sweater, but if, as many designers suggest this season, the neckline drops noticeably lower than the classic one, it is better to wear it under it a shirt (optional – with a tie).

4. The spirit of music festivals

Regardless of whether you go to music festivals, this summer you will surely see clothes in stores with hippie and rock and roll elements: fringe, colorful prints, patchwork, Hawaiian shirts, as well as bandanas and flip-flops in the heat of summer.

How it looks on the podium:

JW Anderson

Balenciaga

How to apply it in life:

It might not be a good idea to replicate the whole hippie look, but one bright T-shirt or bandana will completely dilute your (vacation) wardrobe.

5. Pastel shades

If you still don't want to wear pink, the designers will offer you the rest of the palette of pastel shades: yellow, blue, lilac …

How it looks on the podium:

No.21

Ovadia & Sons

How to apply it in life:

Pastel colors look best on shirts that can be paired with gray and blue suits, but in the summer it is quite possible to try on a pale yellow T-shirt or pale blue trousers.

6. Inscriptions as prints

Lettering and slogans as prints are no longer news, but this season designers have turned words into full-fledged patterns and decorated with them anything: T-shirts, jumpers, jackets.

How it looks on the podium:

Yohji Yamamoto

MSGM

How to apply it in life:

A T-shirt or longsleeve covered with slogans is quite appropriate for a casual look. In this case, the rest of the clothing should be more restrained, better monochromatic.

7. Pockets boom

The fact that large pockets on men's clothes are convenient has been known for a long time, but now designers have decided to experiment with them as decorative elements. Don't be surprised if this spring you see large pockets or an abundance of small pockets not only on the 'hunter vests', but also on jackets, jackets and coats.

How it looks on the podium:

Junya Watanabe

Christopher raeburn

How to apply it in life:

Using common sense. Pockets, including those of a strange shape, may well decorate the product, but they should not turn it into a frankly strange outfit. In addition, if you choose such a model, remember: it is clearly not worth filling all these pockets to the top.

8. Wide trousers

Designers actively offer men to try on wide trousers made of fine fabrics. Plain or with a pattern, these pants are combined with everything: jumpers, jackets, shirts, T-shirts …

How it looks on the podium:

Emporio armani

Marni

How to apply it in life:

While it is better to leave the combination of wide trousers with a jacket to fashion bloggers, everyone can try on summer models for a vacation. Instead of shorts and boring linen trousers on a hot day, it is quite possible to wear something with a pattern from the new collections, adding stylish leather sandals to them.

Conclusion

Fashion is a game that is great because you can make your own rules. Someone is trying to keep up with all its changes, many prefer not to pay any attention to it and stick to the classics (and there are many advantages to this!), But the most balanced approach is to know what the designers are proposing new, but choose from this only that, what really suits you. In this case, the image will look fresh, but first of all – harmonious! But this is precisely the purpose of the ability to dress stylishly.
