In 2017, menswear saw a blend of classic and modern trends, including modernized workwear, athleisure, and a return to some 70s-inspired styles. Gold chains, raw denim, open shirts, and see-through aviators were popular, along with a more relaxed interpretation of masculinity. Workwear chic, with pieces like bombers, hi-vis vests, and carpenter pants, also gained traction.
Here’s a more detailed look at some of the key trends:
1. Modernized Workwear: Traditional workwear elements were reinterpreted and incorporated into high-fashion looks. This included things like industrial belts, bombers, hi-vis vests, and carpenter pants, often paired with contemporary streetwear designs.
2. Athleisure and Functionality: Athleisure continued to be a strong trend, with brands like Reebok exploring collaborations to incorporate comfort materials like Flexweave into suits.
3. 70s-Inspired Style: Elements of the 70s made a comeback, including gold chains, open shirts, and raw denim.
4. Casual Suiting: Suits were worn in a more relaxed, casual context, moving beyond traditional business wear.
5. Bold Prints and Colors: Bold prints, patterns, and colors were popular, adding a pop of personality to outfits.
6. Layering: Layering was a stylish and creative way to switch up outfits, often featuring fall color pairings like tan and charcoal gray.
7. Two-in-One Shoes: Shoes with fold-down backs, allowing them to be worn as mules, were a prominent trend, especially in loafers but also in other styles.
8. Graphic Socks: Long socks, especially with graphic patterns, were worn with shorts and other casual looks.
9. Military and Hiking Inspired Aesthetics: Military and hiking-inspired clothing, like field jackets and outdoor-inspired styles, were popular, particularly in the spring.
