News in Guys Fashion For 2012

In the olden days, fashion focused more on women’s apparel, cosmetics, accessories, shoes and bags. Most of the time, men are just confined to the same old style which has been bestowed on them from the ancient times—with some significant modifications, of course. In the new century, however, trends have been constantly changing. Men’s fashion is now sharing the limelight with that of the women’s. For 2012, here is the fearless forecast of what’s going to be “in” and sizzling hot in the fashion world for men.

1. It’s bright or white - The fashion industry loves contrasts, and this will be evident for the coming year. White remains one of the hottest colors, alongside bright and bold hues which are making a huge comeback on the runway in 2012.
2. Doublebreasted jackets - Every man must have a smoking jacket inside his closet because this item will be among the most popular this year. Prada, Gucci, Roberto Cavalli and other designer labels will all go strong on this trend.
3. Short is in - For 2012, it has been predicted that men fashion will include short clothing articles. This means that shorter jackets and cropped pants will hit the runway and fashion stores. Although not everyone can wear short trousers, there are other options by which the “short” apparel pieces can be worn in a pleasant and trendy way, particularly amongst guys.
4. Check-ing your style - Plain solids are out, prints are in. Plaids are getting hotter this year as well as specialized checks. Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Jean Paul Gaultier and other fashion industry giants are creating apparels in big and small plaids.
5. The Gray Shirt - For formal or casual occasions, men can never go wrong with a gray shirt. Now available in more textures, patterns and shades, you can find the perfect match for your tie and coats or for your shorts and shades.
6. The all blue suit - Over the last few years, tailoring has been through a mini-renaissance. Once again, the suit has regained supremacy in men’s fashion today. Every man should have a navy blue suit—an essential and timeless piece. Alongside this staple piece, you can also stock up on a shade or two lighter than navy blue to complete the all-blue look. Pastel shirts and accessories can be easily incorporated.

Watch out for the trendiest pieces which will hit the boutiques and stores all around the world. Who said men’s fashion needs to be plain and boring? That’s certainly not the case for 2012.
