7 Male Trends Straight From The Runway
The male fashion industry is evolving and adapting on its own each year. From breaking stereotypes to deconstructing the typical men’s fashion shows, the recent runways and predictions for men fashion wear of the year 2020 present a whole new set of male trends out of the box. We no longer see men walking the catwalk with plain suits, the rough men type or the standardized colors in dark shades for their clothes. Instead, we see designers being bolder and moving forward presenting new silhouettes in men’s garment, paler shades and more prints.
In some cases, we have even seen an expansive growth of a more non-gender type of clothing, with the use of pieces such as skirts or dress in an all exclusive men runways. Men’s fashion is turning into a more diverse industry, where freedom is starting to reign over the traditional ideas of constructing male trends. From the biggest runways and designers in the past few years, we want to introduce a whole new list of male trends that you might want to start digging.
1. The Formal The Palest
Some people use suits every day for work, others just on special occasions such as prom, but there’s no doubt that they have always been a key element in men’s fashion wear. But this new male trend evolves the traditional suit into a more diverse garment, not only in shape but in color. Introducing paler colors as the new favorite for this season’s suits. Designers such as Acne Studios or Louis Vuitton are opting for shades of pale gray, yellow, lemon, pink and lavender for their suit design. We also checked a change in materials used for making the suits which make the choices more diverse for the men of today!

Remember when joggers were all that men wear? Well, this male trend brings the same comfort feeling but with a more stylish vibe. Following the athleisure trend, big fashion designers mixed comfy pieces such as oversized wool sweaters with formal pants or suit coats. We also have a variety of big scarfs, sweatpants, loose shorts all match with sportive shoes or formal boots to have that balance between the coziness of the outfit without losing the style of it.
