Alright, so you don’t follow trends. Many people consider that trends are for men with no sense of style, blindly following the masses. However, this is not always the case. Before you completely write off staying up to date with what’s going on in the fashion world just check your wardrobe. See if you notice any of the trends below already hanging there. If you do, bring those items to the front of your wardrobe and get ready to accidentally be on trend for spring 2018.
Hawaiian Themed Florals
It’s pretty hard to ignore the Hawaiian floral trend that’s been making its way down the runway. Dazzle in bright, vivid colors. However, this trend isn’t for the faint-hearted. Wear large leaf or flower prints against a stark contrasting backdrop. Or, for a more sedated look, stick to bold prints against a dark blue or black shirt. Asos has a huge range online right now.
Light Outerwear
The second trend on our list is light outerwear. Drap an anorak style coat over a slim fit shirt and pair tailored trousers. Or pair a light outerwear jacket with a tailored casual outfit. To hit this trend, the key is to contrast, tailoring with an oversized, lightweight jacket.
Vintage: Thrift Stores, Second-Hand

This one isn’t going away soon. We will always crave for the nostalgic image of an era when tailored suits were the norm, and everyone wore a hat. For true vintage, look in second-hand thrift shops near you, or see if you can find a bargain on Swap.com. Complement your vintage look with a second-hand watch to match. Sites like Chronoexpert.com have a huge range.
Layers
Another bold look, layers. Play with lengths and materials to achieve an off-balanced, laid-back look. Keep colors two tonal; this trend is about texture more than standing out with color. Wear simple trainers or sandals and match them to your jacket.
Vertical Stripes
The final trend on our list is one of our favorite. It’s easy to run with and wear and always looks sharp. Designers show that the vertical stripe can come in all sizes and colors. Vertical stripes don’t have to be contained in the pinstripe jacket. Play with stripes this spring. Check urban outfitters. We hope this list has inspired you to check your wardrobe & see if you’ve already got some pieces you can bring to the front.
