Menswear fashion is definitely a girl’s guilty pleasure. A great looking guy in a fashionable outfit is everyone’s dream. Men’s fashion has a rather unique approach to the industry. While women shop more frequently than men, the turnover must be rather quick; however, menswear trends are more steady with a focus on buying stable investment pieces that can be translated season after season. Guys are more likely to spend more of a pretty penny as well.
A pretty penny goes quite a way when everyday lifestyle is fused with fashionable clothing. With recent “sports luxe” buzz happening, trend focus has been how everyday guys play up functionality of the look. Signature items for sports luxe include the bomber jacket, the track pant or tight, the hoodie, and the fashion “trainer” or sneaker. Giorgio Armani, Givenchy and Ralph Lauren are all designers who do this trend well. This trend seamlessly meshes together both lifestyles of the consumer: fashion and active wear.
This Fashionisto’s sport luxe look is brought full circle with the incorporation of denim. Distressed denim shorts and a denim jacket provided stability, while his layering of hoodies and Under Armour tights provide functionality for the bitter cold of Chicago. To polish the look off he finished with bright bubble gum pink sneakers and bandana tied locs.
How To: Get this look by grabbing some of the trends signature items. Gents, snag a sturdy pair of track pants fit with an esthetically pleasing design and pair them with sneakers, a T-shirt and a denim jacket. Ladies, grab a similar sporty luxe look with a bodycon midi skirt, paired with a crewneck sweatshirt or sporty crop top. Finish the look off with sneakers or sandals.
