Fashion is something we deal with every day, it is a language that tells everyone a story about the person who wears it. It speaks wordlessly in a way that we all understand. Fashion is what, who, how, and when you wear it is all part of that personal expression. That’s what fashion should always be about: the celebration of a person’s beauty and strength.
Women aren’t the only ones who get to wear fashion as it celebrates every gender. Men can have style too. Dean and Dan Caten, imaginative designer of Dsquared2 Mens fashion brand said that they are now paving their way to create an environment where dressing well is “normal”.

The watch industry does trends slowly. But, watches are so important for men because it reflects their style. The accessories that men ”can” use are limited, and watches give men the ability to express themselves, their personality, and their style.

This is one is a wardrobe piece you definitely won’t regret.
7. Weatherproof sneakers
Sunny walk from home to the office, commuting on a rainy day, and grocery run while snowing, it is sneakerheads’ most dreaded fear. It will ruin their most prized possession. Good thing there are weatherproof shoes that they can easily pair to most outfits. Every trainer brand now came up with the waterproof fabric this year and we still can’t get enough of it.
8. Two-Strap Slides
Imagine making the world your runway, but with two strap slides, it seems crazy but it’s the new trend. These traditional footwear offers double support and comfortability while still making you look cool. You can even pair them with flared trousers, suit pants, jeans or shorts. This way you can feel like you’re walking on clouds while being in style.
9. Trousers and Chinos
You may think “what? high waisted trousers?” the answer is definitely yes. Who knew that this flattering style will come back into fashion every few years? It’s all because of its versatility. You can pair them with a tucked-in T-shirt, or put a sexy twist on the traditional pants by rocking them with an open shirt. Chinos are an excellent style item to mix things up from time to time. You can wear your regular top with chinos instead of your denim and it will instantly change your overall appearance. Start with basic colors like khaki, navy, and beige which are easy to match. It is so not too over the top for casual and also perfect for occasions with dress codes, especially the smart casual and business casual styles.
10. Rugby Shirts
This low-key micro-trend is brilliant. The resurgence of it again just tells us that trendy styles always come back. We couldn’t be happier wearing rugby shirts as it reminds you of old school Sunday brunch out, or even spending time in pubs. Remember wearing them in clashing colors? There’s something masculine about it? You can try this trend again and the best thing is you can find it easily in your old wardrobe.
Peter Nguyen, a private personal stylist for men said that “You don’t need to start with confidence to improve your style. Your confidence grows as you work to improve your style” Just like basketball or any other skill, dressing well is a skill that can actually be learned. And for the man who wants to have fun with what he wears, that’s all very, very good news as it’s a step in the right direction.
