Formerly Known as White

The color is everywhere on the streets this season — you have your jeans and blazer, right? — but this time we'll see off-white, bone, even dirty white. All in contrast and answer to the crisper, bleached versions.

A Boxy New Suit

Some designer labels will push a suit fit that feels new: it's cleaner and looser, even boxier than we've seen recently. This is deliberately antihentical to the nostalgia we've been seeing in seasons past. And it prevents you from looking like a 12-year-old at a wedding.

Even Bolder Colors

Colors were strong at the spring shows one year ago (the clothes that are in store now) but this time, hues that were once accents — oranges, greens and mustard — could become the focus of whole collections.

Summer Fashion 2012

From Spring to Fall, New York to Paris, and everything in between Esquire has you covered with the latest fashion trends for men from the runway to your wardrobe.

Mens Summer Fashion 2012.

For men’s wear, it was a bold step both in summer and spring last time it came around. High fashion to high street was primarily dominated by bright colors. Winter and autumn passed on in same manner, bringing colors- specifically in outwear and knit capacity- in the msn’s wardrobe. As opposed to preceding seasons, the coming summer is up with marginally dull shades in the form of blue and grey. Well am surely talking about patterns and prints. From paisley to polkas, everything seems justified this summer as men’s wear is going out the lines of tradition.

• On the Runway

A wide variety is showcased by various brands. They had their own way to express summer fashion for men but it was primarily dominated with what we summarized above. Burberry came up with a compilation of tribal and African inspired designs, while Prada showcased an inspired collection of America’s fifties whereas Givenchy’s summer style for men demonstrate some tropical birds.

• Printed Shirts

Printed shirts have taken up a central position in summer fashion for men this season. The reason for printed shirts being in is that they give a feel of knock-off Hawaiian shirts or they can be easily buried under an extra layer. No matter what the reason is but they are set to capture the wallet of men this summer. How do you think they will be worn? Covering your printed shirt under a crew neck? NO! Printed shirts are to be worn proud and loud, surrounded by wardrobe staples and neutrals. 

• Printed Shorts & Trousers

Remember, summer fashion for men calls for confidence! Because bold, printed trousers and shorts are hard to cover unlike a printed shirt, so carrying them with style is must. Now printed shirts in summer style for men really needs neutrals, because without them you will not look sane at all. 

• Common Mistakes

There are few mistakes that men make commonly in summer, you should be careful about them and try to avoid them.

Socks: Socks are what you need at various occasions like Gym, Jogging and playing other sports but when it comes to wearing Sandals, socks is a big NO!

 

Cargo Shorts: Your pockets hanging out are something very much of last decade. Now chose something slimmer and sleek.

 

Fragrance: Summer surely asks to put up good fragrance but that should not be the same winter fragrance. Use some light fragrance for the summer.
