The Formula of Men's Fashion 2011

The formula of men's fashion 2011 is known: comfort + freedom of color combinations

For the cold period, designers offer knitted jumpers with imitation hand knitting. Preference is given to yarn in natural shades of cold earth, lead, melange black-and-white yarn. Along with the sweaters, knitted scarves made from the same yarn as the sweater are offered. It is recommended not to let the ends of the scarf hang freely, but to wrap them in multiple layers around the neck up to the chin, creating an imitation of a high collar. As an alternative to a scarf, a sweater with a very high collar is offered, such that it looks like your grandmother knitted it with the sole concern of keeping you warm.

Such a sweater is recommended to be worn in a classic combination with slightly tapered jeans in traditional indigo shades, with worn and faded effects prevailing.

What do famous designers advise us in 2011?

Gianfranco Ferre suggests wearing black tapered leather trousers; he is also in love with chunky knit sweaters. However, all designers propose to complete the look of a traveler man with high lace-up boots, which are best displayed by rolling up jeans or tucking trousers into the shoes.

With the arrival of spring, men are also invited to blossom: the runways were ablaze with color in everything from shoes to bags and headwear.

For the second season, trousers are recommended to be elegantly cuffed, showing determination, athleticism, and strength in the gait. Skinny trousers, beloved by more than one generation of fashionistas, are also aimed at achieving the same result. The refinement of the male silhouette from below and the unobtrusive fit of a trained body have a magnetic effect on girls.

But what really catches the eye is the fantastic color schemes. The first word that comes to mind when seeing classic suits in orange, lemon, and ink colors is 'Bold!' And this word corresponds to the best male quality. So don't hesitate – by choosing a bright suit, or just trousers to complement a sand or gray shirt, you will look appropriate, bold, and be known as a fashionista.

As another novelty, designers offer floral prints. They look surprisingly appropriate in a men's wardrobe thanks to harmoniously composed color combinations. The saturation of print shades varies from barely noticeable against the background fabric to playing a leading role in the look.

Ties in 2011: plenty to choose from!

Ties in 2011 correspond to all directions of men's fashion and men's wishes. You can find everything: solid ties in traditional colors and bright lime, fuchsia. Printed ties can be chosen in favorite geometric patterns, polka dots, and checks, as well as unconventional little men and kisses in neon colors.

Men's shorts are also widely represented. As a standalone garment and as part of a business suit.

The footwear of the spring-summer season evokes a feeling of comfort even at first glance. Softest suede, fabric, matte elastic leather – these materials are used for high boots, classic men's shoes, sandals.

It should be noted that there was something familiar on the runway, namely sandals worn over socks. Yes, now it's official and no objections are accepted. Sandals are also offered with a business suit with shorts instead of trousers.

The finishing touch in a fresh look will be helped by fashionable accessories: voluminous bags with leather handles that hold their shape, patch pockets. Aviator-style sunglasses in both metal and plastic frames. Sunglass lenses are recommended to be black or smoky gray.

In a word, nothing restrictive of movement, all clothing items are soft and create a feeling of youth and boldness. To relax during vacation and in everyday city life – perhaps designers have caught the main wave of men's mood. Fashion does not force men, but serves them, speaking to them in the same language.
