You might remember a few weeks back we told you about one of the big Spring trends in menswear this year which was the colour red. Along with our main Nautical post of the month feature, these two trends are still going very strong and tie in very well with each other (navy’s, white’s and red’s being the prime make up of Nautical). Another massive trend which seems to be picking up steam and was featured heavily in the the catwalk shows last year is… FLORAL.

The Floral Trend

I can’t remember the last time that floral was particularly big in men’s fashion, and I don’t really know what I feel about it at present. It hasn’t completely launched in a large scale within the shops yet, but there are definitely pieces filtering through from all the big fashion houses and what I have seen so far has been great. To wear floral and carry it off, you definitely have to have some swag and be very confident in yourself. It’s a very metro sexual look and so if you are too much of a pretty boy then I would consider staying away, as you might give off the wrong impression. I think this look works very well on males who give off a very strong sexuality and those who have very manly features. If you pull of this properly, not only will you look on trend, but you will have women flocking and this is a personal guarantee. It oozes confidence in yourself and your style.

I would make the recommendation that you don’t go over the top with it. If you are going to rock the shirt and pull it off properly, wear muted trousers, shoes and accessories. You don’t need a jacket or anything else within your outfit to scream “look at me!”, because you will already be subtly different to 99% of the male population.

So you want to try it and you think you can handle it?! Take a look at some of the pieces we have managed to find so far in the Spring releases. I’m sure many more are to come…

Floral Mens Fashion

Ted Baker have REALLY got behind the trend right away with many of their shirts available already (and have been for a couple of weeks). As you know, they are great shirt designers and make quality garments, so these are perfect for this season as formal or casual wear. Remember you can rock this in the office on sunny days!
