Classic and Conservative Styles Replace Casual Spirit in Menswear this Year

The trend of casual wear seems to meet a turnaround for more formal dress code. In the autumn/winter 2014 menswear shows the picture was somewhat like that. Young men were found in tailored jackets and truly formal wears, looking perfect debonair. Launching Hammond & Co, the menswear line designed in partnership with Debenhams, the designer Patrick Grant talked about this latest trend in September:

“We had this massive swing away from wearing ties, hankies, blazers and tweeds, and a long period where guys were really dressing down but I think they are returning to dressing up again.

Formal Styles Preferred over Casuals

Men in more formals like shirts, suits and dickie bows are more common today, compared to jeans and T-shirts that ruled men’s fashion a while back. Definitely, they want to look more like gentlemen instead of carefree hoppers.

The gentlemanly temperament is something that has been long practised and perfected in Britain. As per British Fashion Council, Brits have been setting trends in menswear since 1528. Sartorial essentials like trench coat, three-piece suit, bowler and brogues, have their origin in Britain.

February 14 is the time for the new spring/summer collection to hit the stores. Apart from the Prince of Wales check suits, suits of lighter fabrics and seasonal colours are going to be showcased in the collection of Hammond & Co.

The conservative look with formal outfit requires perfect accessories as well. Camouflage pouches, brightly coloured pocket squares and monogrammed oversized totes are some of the accessories ruling this year’s men’s formal outfit.

Formal wears carry a note of timelessness. So, they never become outdated and out of place. British fashion sense has shown affinity towards more classic, more conservative dressing codes, and this year that temperament is at peak.
