From Hawaiian shirts to boilersuits, here are seven menswear trends you’ll be seeing in stores and everywhere stylish gents go to these days.
Summer is now in season – hooray! – that means more vacations, outdoor adventures, and a new wardrobe to go with.
While the ladies will be decked in their colourful striped outfits, swimsuits and summer hats, the gentlemen will most likely be lazing in tank tops and shorts for days. But summer doesn’t necessarily only mean loose, casual clothing, as the Spring/Summer 2018 runways have proven.
From Hawaiian shirts to boilersuits, here are seven menswear trends you’ll be seeing in stores and everywhere stylish gents go to these days.
Serious stripes
Coats, jackets, suits and pants are all striped out this summer; in vibrant and monochrome shades alike. (From left: Ermenegildo Zegna, Versace, Kenzo, Thom Browne)
Legs for days
...used to be just a phrase for the fairer sex, but who's to say guys can't rock short shorts the same way? (From left: Dior Homme, Fendi, Gucci, Prada)
Hello Hawaii

The baggier, the better
When not in shorts, loose, baggy trousers are the way to go - plus a statement belt to keep them in place. (From left: Balenciaga, Dior Homme, Michael Kors, Versace)
The return of the fanny packs
It started with womenswear, and now menswear is also seeing a return of the fanny pack/bum bag. This is one accessory you might want to invest in; our guess is it'll be a staple for the next few seasons.

Boiler alert
Inspired by the uniform for blue-collar workers, boilersuits, or also known as overall or coveralls, are a one-piece-wonder to hit menswear this season. (From left: Alexander McQueen, Prada, Ami, Lanvin)
Stick to the sidelines
Whether track or tailored, a common denominator we're seeing on menswear pants is a vertical stripe on each side. (From left: Valentino, Kenzo, Bottega Veneta, Alexander McQueen)
