Key SS15 Menswear Trends: French Riviera!

Tuesday 31 March 2015

Today's post focuses on menswear and the upcoming trends for SS15! We always take a keen interested in men's fashion but we rarely feature our rawr boys on the blog. I hope you enjoy today's post and at the end of it, feel a little inspired when it comes to buying for the man in your life - be it a friend, father, sibling or a partner!

Sam has his own personal style and he tends to be ahead of the game in terms of fashion, he's always wearing key fashion pieces before they become mainstream. I remember laughing at him when he first bought a pair of Converse (10 years ago, before they'd became popular again) and then proceeded to buy myself several pairs a year later. He wanted a denim shirt before the high street chains started selling them (again), I laughed at him, then bought myself a denim shirt a few months later. He started sporting Nike Air Max's and I giggled and told him he looked ghetto... 2 years later I have quite a few pairs which I adore. There are plenty more examples buy you get the gist! If you asked him, he'd say he wasn't stylish in the slightest, but to me he has the coolest, relaxed men's style.

Sophisticated statement stripes are big for Spring/Summer '15, as seen at Hackett London, Gucci and several other big designers. Dior Homme, Giorgio Armani, and the more affordable Emporio Armani, also showcased some great casual stripes during their SS15 catwalks and we've seen this trickle down to the high street. I love a man in stripes and they tie in nicely with the French Riviera trend.

I think Sam is a little scared of stripes but he's a fan of bright colours for Spring/Summer and I really like this combination. Blue seems to be the colour of the season, from light blue to cobalt blue, and everything in between. These Boss chino shorts are perfect for injecting a bit of colour into his wardrobe, and wouldn't look out of place in Saint-Tropez.

He's created a real-life French Riviera themed look book by styling these shorts in 3 different ways! He bought these M&S brogues last year and they're my favourite pair of shoes he owns. I wish there was a ladies version because the shape, the colour and the price = just yes.

His second look was pretty easy to achieve, he just threw on a grey long sleeved jumper to take his outfit from day to night. After all, it gets cold by the water on an evening! He has this top in a few different colours and I think they really suit him. There's just something about a button up.

His third and final look is very simple but sometimes less is more. By wearing a classic white polo neck, he's created an outfit which wouldn't look out of place while strolling down the boardwalk in Saint-Tropez, or for drinks with a friend on their private yacht. I can imagine us walking hand in hand in the French Riviera, I'll be sporting a long floaty maxi dress with a big floppy hat and some oversized shades, while he's wearing this. The locals will exclaim, "Ooh la la, what a rawrsome pair!" ;)

Our big trend predictions for this season? Co-ords for the brave and monochrome dressing (shades of one colour, not black/white) for everyone else.

Are you a fan of men's fashion? Do you like Sam's outfits?

T - Excited to marry this face. Look out for more men's outfit posts coming soon!
