Men today have greatly evolved in many aspects of their lives and fashion is just one of them. Needless to say, the word “metrosexual” reflects today’s new breed of heterosexual men who simply love to feel and look good.
This is being addressed by the top minds in the fashion industry as portrayed in their major fashion shows this Spring/Summer 2012. Here are some trends to watch out for this season.
Leather Jackets
A man on a motorcycle wearing a leather jacket projects an image of masculinity and toughness. So it is not a surprise to see designers injecting leather jackets into their men’s collection every season.

Shorts
Men have got to start shaving their legs because shorts are so in! Literally short shorts are evidently becoming shorter perhaps due to global warming. Above-the-knee trousers are ubiquitos in almost all Spring/Summer 2012 shows.

Color-blocks
Color-block, usually seen in women’s fashion, is now influencing men’s fashion. Thanks to the art of blockology, men can de-emphasize those areas in their body they don’t feel comfortable about and accentuate the parts they want to show off.

Prints
It wouldn’t be spring or summer without the floral prints. This season prints of all kinds are bolder than ever, from floral, Hawaiian, abstract to foulard prints are everywhere.

It used to be a fashion mishap when you mix a printed top with printed pants but now everything goes as long as the colors blend.
Metallics
A man in metallics is like your knight in shining armor. Men may have shunned wearing this long time ago but with today’s style evolution there is no doubt that you will see a lot of guys on the street strutting their fave metallic clothes. This look is definitely sexy, strong, fashion forward and elegant.

Checkered Shirts
I bet there is no guy who doesn’t have checkered shirt in their wardrobe. This season you will see checks in different sizes and some designers have managed to present their very own version like Iceberg and Bottega Venetta.

Sheer
Men have a fair share of sheerness this season. The sheer trend has been all around for many seasons on womenswear and I’ve always wished to see this trend on men and finally it’s granted. I love Dolce & Gabbana’s take on fish nets.

Skirts
Many of you might not buy the idea of skirts on men but why can’t they wear one? Marc Jacobs who has been seen wearing a skirt has made it look cool. The Scottish kilt look has been modernized and given a twist.

Tank Tops
No doubt men love the tank top. Like women, they like to be sexy and love to flaunt those biceps. Tank tops are great for summer and it’s the easiest way to beat the scorching heat of the sun.
