With the warmer weather finally upon us and here to stay (fingers crossed), it's a great time to think about updating your wardrobe for the new season. Generally I will purchase a few keys pieces which I can mix and match, whilst clinging on to a couple of old favourite items, whilst the Mini Mes tend to opt for trusty jeans, funky print tees and some new footwear. It's usually the man in my life I really struggle to buy for!
This year however I've been investigating the catwalk trends for men and hopefully these ideas will give you some fashion inspiration too. Most items you can pick up fairly cheaply and quickly from large retailers, like Jacamo, and they're practical to wear for everyday family life as well.
Cargo pants and shorts
Cargo pants have been an essential for most men for decades and there's a reason for this - they're comfortable and they have plenty of pockets! As a busy parent wearing something casual is often key, especially with toddlers on the go, and when it's too hot for a jacket men can store their keys and wallet away safely in their trousers instead. Try to get the three-quarter length and short versions this spring and team them with a t-shirt for an informal yet cool look that can be carried through until summer.
Elegant lightweight suits
At the other end of the spectrum are lightweight suits in elegant cuts. These are ideal to wear to a spring or summer wedding in particular, ensuring every man remains smart without overheating. Keep an eye out for suits that are designed to be worn without a traditional shirt - the bare chest suit is possibly a step too far for many but you can expect to see more gents wearing t-shirts under their jackets instead.
Sage is the colour for men
The dominant colour on the catwalk for spring is sage. Look out for lightweight jumpers, hoodies, and sweatshirts that can easily be paired with either a pair of dark or light jeans. These are ideal for the cooler evenings in the garden or park, walks on the beach when the wind is still lurking and for any spring showers (it is England after all!). Long sleeved cotton tops are also a great buy.
Eighties-era logo t-shirts
For both men’s and women’s fashion, the 80s trend continues so expect to see plenty of rock band tops in stores, which are often over sized. The hologram logo T-shirt by Gucci was particularly well received, so you can expect to see that look filtering through to the High Street soon.
Suede loafers are set to dominate
When it comes to footwear, suede loafers appear to be a popular choice this year. Although they may not be ideal for rainy days, it is quite easy to waterproof a pair of suede shoes. White trainers are always handy to have to hand too and go well with most outfits.
What will you be wearing this season?
