Men’s Fashion Trends for 2011

For the last Fashion Friday of 2010, we look forward to the trends in menswear for 2011, specifically what’s coming up for the Spring. A see a fee overarching trends that will carry into the new year among them the continuing reinvention of the 80’s fashions with argyle sweaters, skinny ties and the resurgence of the Member’s Only jackets. Linen, while it has never been out of style, I believe will make a stronger come back next summer. in 2011 we’ll see more pattern mixing for men and bold color accents in traditional gray or navy suits. Here’s what top designers trends are showing for next season:

2011 mens fashion trends
Armani pairs up a slim cut gray suit with bold accent collor, even down to the yellow shoe. Yep.
Dolce and Gabbana brings back linen mixing whites and tans. Also the skinny tie is here to stay another season
Prada is betting on bold colors and strong lines.
Etro: It's ok to mix up patterns just make sure they're subdue so they don't strongly compete with each other

John Varvatos has gray as a Spring color. Just make sure the fabric is appropriate for the season.

In 2011 men’s clothing will still be cut slim and tight. That means it’s not a very forgiving look if you’re carrying on a few extra pounds. Designer clothing or not, remember that ill-fitting clothing will make even the most expensive items look bad on you. Personally I look forward to being more bold with accent colors as well as mixing patterns. While some of that makes me nervous, sometimes you just need to get out of  your comfort zone. Not long ago I looked at my closet and all I saw was black and white with a few hits of brown. Boring. I’m changing that in 2011.

Any of these trends push your personal comfort envelop? If so which one?

    I would definitely not wear the yellow shoes…

      I'm with you Doug. I just don't think I could do it. Maybe if I lived in NYC or Paris, but Nashville is not ready for yellow shoes.

      Tod, a personal goal of mine is to pick out something for you to wear to the office during a busy day.

    Maurilio, I'm curious on how to match multiple patterns. Perhaps a future FF post?

      Ralph, I have been thinking about that as well. Mixing patterns is a tricky thing. I might have to write about it.

    Wow, I should have kept all my skinny ties from high school. Who knew?
    And no, I will never be able to wear yellow shoes and a yellow belt while keeping a straight face..

      Me too Larry. At one time I had over 40 skinny ties. I had to wear them for class in college.

    I was never a big fan of the skinny tie, though I do like the square-bottom tie. i think it's the best casual (no-jacket) look, when it's "in."

    The bold colors are nice to see, but I doubt they'll last long. And linen? Ugh. So hard to wear.

    I love the mens fashion trends this past year and I'm excited for what 2011 will bring for the fashion world. I love it when guys are into fashion trends and care about what they look like and staying in fashion. My friends graduated from FIDM and they love fashion trends. I never knew you could make a career out of fashion trends until they started attending FIDM. They know everything about fashion trends and both have great careers in the fashion industry. Check out their webiste to get more information on their fashion programs.
