We're saving you time, stress, and hassle. Consider this guide your ultimate resource to delivering the best 2021 men's fashion trends your wardrobe needs right now.
Bring Back the Dress Shirt
Who says formal attire and elegance are dead? In 2021, you can bring back the dress shirt in a more comfortable and modern way. While work meetings or more formal events may require a traditional dress shirt look, you can have more fun in everyday life or social gatherings.
For example, this Hansen's Clothing chambray dress shirt could become your 2021 staple wardrobe piece. Structured like a chic dress shirt but more comfortable and relaxed in chambray, pair it with casual pants or summer shorts. Or, roll up the sleeves and wear the shirt on your summer resort getaway.
Embrace Pastel Colors
The pastel color trend has taken over 2021. There are even reports that these light colors can feel more calming and soothing than their bold counterparts.
Embrace the trend and try incorporating pastel-colored clothing or accessories into your wardrobe this year. For example, try sporting a pale pink or lilac t-shirt with your favorite casual pants or jeans.
Layer With a Cardigan
Casual attire is always in style. Uplevel your fashion sense this year and go for the cardigan sweater trend. The tried-and-true staple you didn't know you needed can prove to be just the versatile piece your wardrobe calls for.
Layer a dress shirt under the cardigan for a look that can take you from the office to dinner or cocktails. Or for weekend-friendly style, pair a cardigan with a comfortable t-shirt and jeans. And if you're traveling for business or work, a luxurious Alpaca cardigan is sure to keep you warm in the cabin without sacrificing style.
Make Men's Suits Modern
When we think of men's clothes, we tend to imagine suits. You may live in suits at the office or have a closet full of tailored creations you love. But, your suits don't only have to make an appearance at the office or for important meetings. 2021 style trends bring men's suits to the modern era.
That means mixing and matching jackets and pants to create a casual and effortless look. For example, try pairing your made-to-order blazers and sports coats with a crisp white t-shirt, relaxed jeans, and sneakers for the ultimate on-trend ensemble.
Hansen's Clothing offers bespoke and made-to-measure suit jackets and much more. Quality, made-to-fit pieces are a valuable investment and always in style.
Stripes Are in
Stripes are setting sail this 2021. Although typically nautical, stripes can become your go-to fashion statement this season.
If you're not used to wearing bold patterns, begin with a neutral black and white stripe t-shirt. Or, try adding a striped pocket square to add interest to your everyday suit. Stripes can add color, pattern, and boldness to any look this season.
Accessorize With Bags
In a post-pandemic world, you may tote around extra things you never had to worry about. Think masks, hand sanitizer, and much more. And as travel begins again, you may visit the airports and train stations more frequently.
Upgrade your existing briefcase, travel tote, or cases. This season calls for relaxed yet luxe materials like canvas and leather. For example, this Lewis Flyweight Briefcase is the perfect everyday bag to get you through the season in style.
Crafted with neutral navy and supple leather details, use the bag for your laptop and work needs. But also, be sure to pack it for upcoming vacation getaways.
Chic Swim Shorts
Do you have a vacation on your mind? Make sure your swimwear is in style and on-trend this season. Chic swim shorts should be elegant and comfortable enough to take you from the pool or beach to seaside cocktails and lunch.
A patterned and fitted swim trunk is a bold and on-trend choice. These swim trunks look classy enough to wear through the hotel lobby on vacation or in town to pick up a morning coffee or evening ice cream. Try pairing chic swim trunks with a comfortable cotton t-shirt, stylish fedora hat, quality sunglasses, and nice leather pool slide for the ultimate look.
A Modern Take On Tweed
Tweed may have originated in Scotland in the 18th century, but that doesn't mean this material doesn't work in the modern era. This season, tweed continues to overtake the runways and most stylish European fashion houses. In 2021, sport tweed in a fun and modern way.
Try swapping your favorite solid sport coat for a tweed alternative. Or, to dress down tweed and make it feel more casual and every day, wear the pattern with jeans or casual pants.
Check out these high-quality Hansen's Clothing tweed jackets. They were handcrafted in England and ooze elegance and high quality.
Sandal Slides
As temperatures begin to rise, you may need some relief. Swap your sneakers or dress shoes for elegant sandal slides. These versatile shoes are at the forefront of men's 2021 fashion trends for multi-purpose and easy qualities.
For example, water-resistant sandal slides are an elegant and comfortable vacation alternative to flip-flops. While leather or canvas sandal slides can take you to summer meetings, romantic dinners, and everywhere in between.
