A little bit of the past and a little bit of the present can create a new fashion movement toward the future. The recycling of 80s and 90s throwback trends are expected to pair along with new modern pieces. The combination of nostalgia and excitement when you put on these clothes will make you want to step out of your comfort zone and find yourself in fashion. The skinny silhouette is pushed to the wayside as the pleated trousers make their return this winter. This holiday season is more colorful than ever ranging from red, pink, yellow and orange. Trends are constantly changing each season with new-ins and new-outs, however, the purpose is not always to make you change your style, but instead to explore yourself through it. Fall-Winter 2017 menswear is all about a little bit of everything from A-Z. It’s for everyone, so expand your wardrobe and find new ways to express yourself with the variety of styles.
THE COLOR ORANGE
The colors of this season are no longer neutral. Vibrant colors like red, pink, yellow and especially orange were seen
across the board at the shows for Fall-Winter 2017. Fruity oranges are the key colors of the season. With its undeniable, striking tone, it can act as your statement piece. The splash of vitamin C across your wardrobe will have you ready to hit the street. Many will doubt about its wearability, however, it is actually one of the most versatile colors you can choose. Instead of the head-to-toe look shown in Dior Homme or Givenchy, you can invest in an outerwear piece or go for the contrasting look of orange against all black. A combination of red and yellow radiates warmth, and brings out your self-confidence and it’s out there for any risk takers this season.
