Men’s 2014 Fashion Trends Preview

Introduction

So, it’s a new year. You feel foul. You look foul. Too many turkey sandwiches have left you slightly cuddlier. Too many transactions have left you slightly broke. And too many beers have left you slightly undignified and your loved one very upset.
After one hazy night and an anti-climatic countdown, let’s face it, January is just, well, a bit crap. We’re all broke, we’re not looking our best and once we get into February it’s not going to get much better. Positive vibes all round.
It’s not all doom and gloom though. There are a few silver linings somewhere in the heap of hangovers and humbugs: transitional menswear trends. The end of the festive period and beginning of a new year is the perfect time for a fresh start and wardrobe revamp. After all, there’s nothing like a little reinvention from time to time.
We can’t curb your post-Yuletide blues but we can always offer you a few style tips here at FashionBeans. So, take a look at our new year trend preview and put down the selection box – you probably need to…

Block Checks

No, checks aren’t for Wizard of Oz geeks and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo. Block checks are for the serious dresser this upcoming season and will be on everything from tees and blazers to trousers and shirts.
Philip Lim, Fendi and Saint Laurent have taken the traditional and turned it upside down. The result? An almost 1990s-esque print that has subtle pans of pop rock gold.
Your ideal check should be wide and feature a timeless base colour of black, grey or navy – anything brighter can look costume, but mix and match to your own discretion.
The beauty of this pattern really is its versatility: full length chinos can pack a real statement while a flash of pocket square check is enough to exude a sense of style. Across the spectrum, it’s a trend that’s so easy to pick up and run with.
