Men’s fashion has always been pretty formal. If we sneak a peek into the men’s closet, we would find the usual combination of dark-wash denim, plain white T-shirts, and comfortable hoodies. However, men’s fashion trends have changed in recent years as we witness fresh energy injected in the new styles worn by men.

If we observe men’s fashion trends these days, we can see that they are revamping their style and opening up to trying new attires. Men are opting to wear light-wash denim, mismatched prints, corduroy pants, cropped trousers, neck scarves, plaid pants, quarter socks and accessories to style it up. Men are not hesitating to experiment with different kinds of outfits.

Here are some of the men’s fashion trends that are sure to delight the most style-conscious and style evasive men.

Light-wash denim
Denim is feasibly an essential part of the men’s wardrobe and the most classic fashion trend of all time. Earlier, men did not experiment much and would end up wearing darker wash denim but switching up denim shades to lighter washes is officially the move of millennials. Lighter shades of denim are as versatile as their darker wash counterpart.

Mismatched prints
Maximalism is trending everywhere, men are accepting new styles and are not afraid to try them. You can go ahead and try bold prints and wear a combination of multiple prints.

Corduroy
Denim might be a timeless essential, but corduroy is a winter wardrobe essential and a great fashion statement. It comes as no surprise that tons of retailers and brands have stocked up on corduroy clothes, with so many variations and styles.

Cropped trousers
Cropped trousers became a part of women’s fashion trends long ago, and have headed straight to the men’s fashion zeitgeist to suit men’s taste and mood. This in itself is a great leap men’s fashion has taken by adopting this trend. Men look at it as the perfect opportunity to show off their cool pair of socks or that limited-edition pair of sneakers they always wanted to boast about!

Plaid pants
Plaid pants are a great way to add a little statement to any outfit. Plaid pants can skew as edgy or subtle, and they can go with almost everything if you want to wear them in combination, so you have a wide range of options to choose from.

According to summer trends, whites and creams will brighten up your wardrobe. Graphic prints will overtake big logos on the attires. Fashionistas must keep an eye on the trends popping on Instagram and Pinterest as these are a big driving force in contemporary fashion.
