Men's Fashion Trends to Look Out for In 2018

Looking to up your fashion game this year?

You're in luck as this will be the best to date for men's fashion trends. We're talking everything from a sleek suit to playful patterns like vintage checks.

No matter your current style or tastes, there's something to fit everyone. So, whether you're having trouble putting together outfits or you want to be on top of the trendsetting world, we got you covered.

Curious to know more trends that you'll want to rock this year?

Read on to find out!

Tonal Outfits

Forget dressing in monochrome, tonal is all the rage this year. It may sound similar but it's when you pair different shades of the same color family rather than dress in all one color.

For example, grey. Think dark grey, light grey, and everything in between. But don't go overboard as you'll end up looking like a neutral rainbow gone wrong.

It's best to keep it to three pieces as the magic number. And the great perk to this trend is that it works for every occasion. Try it out with a suit or a casual jacket, shirt, and pants combo.

Dad Denim

Tired of the skinny jean fad? You're in luck as "dad denim," otherwise known as straight legged jeans, is in.

No longer will your legs feel suffocated inside circulation-restricting denim. If that hasn't caught your attention, maybe the fact that they're loose fitting will.

The extra slack you get with these jeans will assert a level of comfort that's both stylish and cozy.

To make them better than your dad's denim, opt for styles with a cropped or cuffed design on the bottom. When paired with Chelsea boots or a crisp, white sneaker, you'll be ready for anything.

Vintage Checks

There's a fine line between looking sophisticated and looking silly with this one. Piling on too much plaid or gingham can end up making you look like a clown.

To pull off this look, keep the rest of your outfit simple. Pick a statement piece like a classic plaid jacket and pair with grey pants and shirt.

This trend works especially well for the cooler seasons. Pairing a bold pattern like checks with heavy knits and outerwear will you have looking cooler than ice.

Hawaiian Shirts

We're not talking about any shirt you can find in a Hawaiian gift shop. This trend focuses more on a minimalist take on the classic tropical print.

Rather than looking like a walking bouquet of lilies, opt for designs with a simple color palette. One to three complementary colors within a shirt is enough to pull off this trend without looking cheesy.

Combine with chinos and slip-on sneakers for the right amount of sophistication and playfulness.

Turtleneck Suits

For when the weather turns cold, you can rely on a turtleneck and suit combo to keep you warm. It's a modern twist on a tailored look.

And it makes it acceptable to wear a fancy suit almost anywhere. The turtleneck adds a level of casualness while the suit is sleek.

If you're feeling daring enough, pair with combat boots and a fedora for an edgy look. For an ultra-chic take on this trend, go monochrome.

Soft Textures

It seems this year that trends are leaning towards comfortability. And nothing gives you the feeling of comfort better than soft, luxurious textures.

Shearling, velvet, suede, and fur are all acceptable. Combine with simpler silhouettes to avoid looking like a big ball of fur or a velvet nightmare.

Remember: it's best to have one textured piece per outfit. Pick one option such as a fur scarf or shearling sweatshirt and avoid combining with another statement texture.

Oversized Silhouettes

Keeping with the theme of being comfortable, this trend probably takes the cake. Oversized styles are paving the way as acceptable casual wear.

If this trend is intimidating, don't worry. It's all about striking a balance.

So you don't end up looking sloppy, go for sophisticated silhouettes with blown-up proportions. Sweaters and straight legged pants are great examples as you won't end up looking like you don't know your size.

Side-Stripe Pants

Did we mention the revival of the nineties with these casual yet cool side-stripe pants? It's a nod to the old times while keeping up with the athleisure trend we're all loving.

Designers got this trend right on the runways by making them perfectly acceptable for adults to wear. No longer will you look (or feel) like a kid when you wear these as the silhouettes make them a viable option for most outfits.

To take them more into the modern era, there are skinny versions that taper in at the ankle. To make it seem like you just stepped off the running track, there are ones that keep it true to the nineties with the flare at the bottom.

Vertical Stripes

Say goodbye to horizontal stripes and hello to vertical stripes. And we're not talking about the vertical stripes found on pajamas.

This trend is more relaxed, as you can find this pattern on shirts and jackets. But to avoid looking like a circus tent, opt for stripes that are more narrow than wide. So you don't look like you're overwhelmed, one striped piece is plenty.
