STYLE – The Hottest Men’s SS14 Trend
Words: Violet
The weather isn’t the only thing heating up this month, with the change in season comes a change in trends, and one SS14 trend that was impossible to miss at the collections was the sunset-coloured hues that paraded down the runways.
THE TREND,
From burnt orange to plum and bright yellow, it looks like it’s going to be a sunshine-filled season, even if the weather doesn’t hold. If the thought of ditching your usual blues, greys and blacks in favour off this fiery trend then fear not, as there are plenty of ways to dip your toe into the trend without going all out orange or yellow.
RUNWAY INSPIRATION, The menswear designers that really caught our eye last year at the SS14 collections were those who took a more refined approach to the trend. Whilst a neon yellow biker jacket with purple shorts might work for the concept store owners of Hoxton and Dalston, we think that it’s best to keep it tailored. Look to the likes of Savile Row’s Richard James (centre), or rulers of the runway, Gucci (left) and Vivienne Westwood (right) for suits in the colour trend – wear with confidence, rain or shine.
OUR PICKS…
THE JACKET, We know we’ve already mentioned this Richard James jacket, but with good reason. The stunning orange shantung silk jacket is the perfect way to wow admirers this season. Pair yours with white trousers for the ultimate style statement., Richard James Jacket £POA, richardjames.co.uk
THE JUMPER, , If you’re not quite ready to go all out in sunset hues, then one key standout item in your wardrobe will be the best way to address this trend. We think this yellow jumper from Paul Smith is a great way to brighten up your wardrobe, pair with pale jeans or shorts and a pair of espadrilles for a sartorially spot on season., Paul Smith Jumper £340, paulsmith.co.uk
THE SHOES, , These beautifully crafted Italian loafers from Gucci are a great way to emulate this trend in the most subtle of ways. Made from suede, fans of the brand will recognise this pair by the bamboo-trimmed laces – a signature of the brand since the ’40s., Gucci Loafers £370, mrporter.com
THE ACCESSORY, Last up, we think this burnt-orange pocket square in silk is a wonderful way to nod to this season’s trend without going over board.
