During theMilan Fashion WeekDesigners have presented their 2021 men's fashion trends in a very controlled manner in front of an actual audience. However, most brands have opted for distanced, digital presentations of their Spring/Summer 2021 collections. This also happened with very different interpretations of what that should be. From Addams Family style looks to neo-neon, there's plenty to choose from and who knows, maybe you'll even be able to wear these 2021 fashion trends for men in the real world by then.
With only a handful of fashion shows taking place in real time in June and July, and the vast majority of presentations relegated to the digital realm, it's been fascinating to watch how designers have approached the brave new post-pandemic world. Due to the limited schedule and fewer brands than usual, it was a challenge to stick to it. Take action and get creative to challenge traditional thinking. Now is the time to find the right balance between pragmatism and boldness.
Invent positive scenarios to create a rich future that combines common sense and imagination. Protect nature and build tomorrow's dreams on it. At a time when identities, styles and cultures are mixing with unprecedented fluidity, dare to dream of a collective and inclusive world where engagement is key, no matter where you live. Since the fashion industryduring the COVID-19 pandemicasked difficult questions, the garments in these digital experiences mostly reflected sellable ideas for a turbulent time. There was little in the way of wild couture shapes. This is a way to cap off the strange menswear season that everyone in the fashion industry has experienced.
Service or work clothing for home office
The uniform trend has been making the rounds for several seasons. Furthermore, the obsession with safari jackets is likely to reach such a peak in 2021. This look is characterized by versatile and functional clothing. From the military man's field jackets combined with canvas or leather to overalls and, for example, the insanely luxurious crocodile field jacket from Dior, next summer will be all about looking like you've come from an apocalypse.
This is why cargo pants and army jackets have become such a staple in the world of men's fashion. With retail spending down, it's no wonder designers are sticking to tried-and-true formulas for success. Every brand from Dior to JW Anderson designs deep pocket coats or multi-pocket trousers that prove to be as functional and comfortable as possible while working from home. Furthermore, crafts have never been more popular than during the worldwideLockdowns due to the coronavirus. Now men's fashion includes a craft you can do at home, whether it's hand-dyed jackets or macrame bags.
Minimalist fashion trends men 2021
A spot-on idea for these times is that the beauty of clothing lies in simplicity and functionality. Miuccia Prada reduced this aesthetic to its core shapes and fabrics and in her last solo exhibition referred to her first collection for fall 1989. Raf Simons will also accompany you to the top in the fall. Jil Sander and OAMC, both productions of Luke and Lucie Meier, have a similar purity of silhouette and form, while Christophe Lemaire and Sarah-Linh Tran further developed their elegant lines at Lemaire. Such a type of clothing is simple and retains the concept of simplicity as an antidote to useless complications.
Prada, meanwhile, delivered a fashion show in the form of five films called The Show That Never Happened. Produced by Willy Vanderperre, Jürgen Teller, Joanna Piotrowska, Martine Syms and Terence Nance, each has brought their own touch to a collection. In true Prada style, this has reduced things to the essentials. This was a sparse, simple collection that moved from slim-fitting suits to casual tracksuits and technical sportswear. Beauty wasn't so much about what was shown but what was left out.
Return of the bomber jacket
Bomber jackets will also be a hit for Spring/Summer 2021. Although this probably isn't news to you, the truth is that there have been more takes on the classic aviator jacket at the fashion shows. From the cropped 1970s-style bomber jackets in functional nylon from Gucci to the classic high-shine aviators from Philipp Plein and the cropped minimalist tops from Prada and Hermès, the look was neat and felt less maximalist than previous seasons.
Oversized trench coat
Everyone knows that a trench coat is a spring staple. However, for Spring/Summer 2021, the look has been updated with a voluminous touch. At Wooyoungmi, Tod's and Loewe, papery colors and caramel tones had 1970s flavor. At MSGM, Ermenegildo Zegna and Études, colors such as dusty rose and midnight blue also dominated. The key to wearing an oversized trench coat like this next season is to pair it with unexpected accessories. This can even be done with shorts and flip flops.
Neo Neon fashion trends men 2021
Neon color is, perhaps not so surprisingly, not the easiest color trend in the world. But if you wear them correctly, your outfit can turn out really well. Get inspired by some of Paris' biggest brands this season. At Dior, Kim Jones sent out neon worker jackets and fluorescent yellow rompers at his Amoako Boafo-inspired show, while both Hermès and Homme Plissé Issey Miyake showed bright neon garments with muted cuts. This is exactly how you should wear this trend.
The Addams Family in crazy tradition
This is perhaps the easiest way to realize fashion trends men 2021 next season. Everyone looks great in a sharply tailored black suit like this. Prada showed such a razor-sharp tribute in the color black, with such models shown in the kind of angular tailoring that Gomez would kill for. A look like this continued at Philipp Plein, Dsquared2 and Salvatore Ferragamo, but with crisp suits and coats. At Jil Sander, oversized black coats and blazers hung in stand-shoulder styles that exuded a sense of lazy mystery that would make Morticia proud.
Suits from the 80s
The massively oversized double-breasted suits in80s styleare just the thing if you've gained a little extra weight during lockdown. Such a style is designed to be worn open and either as part of a suit or with casual separates. The larger your suit is, the better it is for this. Just make sure that your jacket fits your shoulders like traditional models do. Also, your lapels should be high like in Casablanca and Etro. However, the red suspenders should stay in the closet.
In addition to oversized '80s suits and black funeral styles, roomy two-piece suits in muted colors were offset by V-neck sweaters, vests, and kimono-style wrap shirts. All were expressly designed to show as much breast as possible. This look was most revealing on Tom Ford and Giorgio Armani. The more elegant models were seen at Mark Weston for Dunhill and Paul Andrews for Salvatore Ferragamo.
Overknee pants
Achieve the ultimate casual feel next summer season with shorts that only reach above the knees. This is a great way to mostly protect yourself but stay cool in the summer heat. Whether you wear these bottoms with a bold pattern or prefer them in a bright color, you can't go wrong with these statement pieces. Complete this look with an open oneLapel collar shirtand fresh sports shoes.
