You don’t need to be a fashionista or an influencer to dress well. There’s a common misconception that religiously adhering to trends equates to good dressing. In my opinion, this is not the case. Blindly following each and every seasonal trend is a recipe for poor style. Not to mention an easy way to bankrupt yourself.

The key to retaining your self-respect lies in the ability to successfully differentiate between the fleeting fads and the future classics. From the return of florals to the continued widening of silhouettes, these are the men’s fashion trends to embrace in 2021.

Florals

A return to the 1970s has been one of the overarching trends of the last five years, and it shows no sign of slowing down in 2021. For the spring/summer season, it manifests itself as floral prints, which is actually a lot more wearable than it sounds.

Bermuda Shorts

The key to nailing it is making sure you get the length just right. Aim for a couple of inches above the top of the kneecap and opt for tailored styles that can be paired with either casual or smarter pieces with ease.

Relaxed Tailoring

As we move further into the 2020s, breezy silhouettes will continue to eclipse slim, form-fitting cuts. While it may not be everyone’s cup of tea, it can look great when executed well.

Vertical Stripes

The reasons for embracing the vertical stripe trend are twofold: firstly, it looks great and presents a simple, refined way to experiment with prints; secondly, it has the nice added bonus of shaving a few pounds off your appearance, making you appear taller and slimmer.

Mid-Wash Denim

It’s a few shades lighter than dark wash, it’s casual and it goes with almost everything. Mid-wash denim was everywhere in the menswear collections and this time it looks as though it could be here to stay.
