Hot Fashion Trends for Men in 2020

While you may appreciate many of the timeless looks in menswear, if you’re like most modern males you want to be fashion forward. If so, it’s important for you to keep up with the latest trends for both casual and professional ensembles so you are always stylish and up to date.

Accessorize

Accessories are often the first thing people notice about your look. With the right adornments, you’ll appear fashionable to everyone who glances your way. Wearing a quality sport watch on your wrist conveys that you are successful, modern and stylish. This year, shield sunglasses are a big deal in more ways than one; their larger size not only blocks most of the sun’s damaging rays, but also broadcasts how current your taste in eyewear is. Don’t forget to stay organized and on trend by sporting a cross-body bag to carry your phone, sunglasses and other must-have accessories.

Stripe It Up

This year stripes are a must for both casual and more polished looks. Vertical stripes are the way to go; whether you choose narrow or wide, these up and down lines are a hot trend that have the added benefit of giving you a slimmer appearance. Try seersucker for a cool and current summer suit, or opt for pinstripes when you need to cut a more elegant figure. Donning those ageless narrow stripes is a great way to dress up your work attire when “business casual” won’t do, and the look was everywhere in menswear shows for 2020.

Make a Statement With Color

When you’re not sporting stripes, the super clean white-on-white look is big this year. Pair a crisp white T-shirt with simple white denim for the ultimate way to show that you are casual yet current. When it comes to brightening it up you should turn to pastels, whether you’re seeking just a pop of color or want to make a bold impression. Stylish suits and blazers for the workplace are showing up in rosy hues, but if you are leery of wearing an entirely pink ensemble on the job try a button down Oxford shirt for a subtler bit of color.

Go Big and Go Baggy

The oversized look made popular by rap’s early stars is back. Clothing that is baggy, big or extended is all the rage for both casual and professional attire. Wear your shorts over the knee so you can stay on trend but still feel cool when the weather is hot. If you need to dress it up a bit, add a blazer that is only slightly larger or choose one that is all-out huge. Even suits are being designed with a more relaxed fit, replacing the tightly tailored look that’s been in fashion for the past few years. Seek out items that are purposely oversized instead of just buying a size or two bigger, so that you appear laid back and not sloppy.

Get Your Kicks

Remember that your shoes often pull together all of the other articles you’re wearing, so you’ll want to be on trend right down to your toes. Speaking of which, make sure your feet are well manicured because sandals are big this year. Chunky, more casual styles are everywhere, with the two-strap slide being particularly in vogue. They are comfortable and cool, and the right style will pair well with shorts, denim or even a baggy suit. Sneakers remain a fashion favorite, and brightly-colored kicks are hotter than ever. All of the big brands are featuring sunny colors that pop with 2020’s fashionable clothing. Finally, if you’re aiming to keep your look more polished but still up to date, Chelsea boots remain popular for their ability to balance your look between casual and refined.

To be contemporary you must pay attention to the latest fashion trends. Keeping your look timely ensures that you’ll be stylish in every setting, whether it’s the beach, the bistro or the boardroom.
