Start the New Year on a fashionable note; check out what is looming in the world of casual wear to get your wardrobe sorted for the year.
Silk Shirt: Silk shirts have a formal touch to them, but they do have an endearing casual appeal too. And, in fashion quarters, they could easily be seen as best options to up the elegance quotient. For a more relaxed look, it would have to be a printed silk shirt; it has the right feel for a perfect evening out.
Suits Sans Shirts:Suit without a shirt… Yes, for the ultimate casual look in a formal suit, the trend dictates one to wear it on bare chest. (check picture above) The spring/summer 2019 trend points towards suits worn with nothing beneath, creating a bolder look for the wearer. But this style may be best reserved for holidays abroad or for private parties with close cronies.
Jumpsuits: On the extreme end of the formal suit is the jumpsuit, which has had a rocking time in women’s fashion circuit. With latest fashion trends alleviating it from its regular work clothes’ status, now might be the right time to pick a fashionable jumpsuit. On the trend counter are plain jumpsuits and even embellished ones.
Floral Prints: Another fashion trend that will shift its allegiance from women’s wear to men’s is the floral print. Shirts and jackets in small floral prints are predicted to make a statement this year, going by the catwalk scenes of established designers.
Bold Patterns: Read that as bright, bold and even clashing patterns to get into the moods of the season. The uninhibited ones should watch out for quirky patterns to feel the trend build up through the year
Shorter Shorts: Short shorts, which made its mark a year ago, continues to strengthen its position in the fashion zone. While it didn’t make a big splash here, as much as it did in the international fashion arena, this trend is expected to become an important part of the new stock in popular boutiques, more so when the weather progresses to summer and beach picnics become a weekend activity.
Stripes: Bolder the stripes better the look, is the dictum for the New Year. While the options in casual wear are plenty with T-shirts and even sporty shirts, there are no limits as far as pants go too.
Metallic Tones: Metallic jackets, pants and even shirts are expected to rule the party circuit this year. Different shades of silver metallic shirts will be the rage for club hopping and even for casual dos.
Accessories:Fanny packs or the popular belt bags are in this season, with varied shapes and sizes providing options to pair them with both formal and casual wear. Add to that list hiking sandals and white sneakers and sports shoes; they are expected to become big attention grabbers this season. Neckerchief is also geared to become a hit among those looking to wear a casual laid-back style.
