Men's Trends on Jeans Wear

Typically worn slim to very skinny, black jeans have been a street favorite this season and have remained a major denim theme on the runway. Whether dressed up or down, this is a versatile trend with solid staying power
With the recent opening of the Billionaire Boys Club and Ice Cream Boutique in NYC, the streets of Soho were packed young guys wearing their signature denim lines. Guys were strutting their stuff in the "ice cream running dog" jean in orange, white and even glow-in-the-dark versions! A great new graphic treatment for denim that can run through fall and into spring!
Moving away from summer’s slouchy silhouettes, fall denims present a clean tailored line. From fabric manufacturers to runway collections, the key aspects are: deep indigo hues, flat and pressed finish, and sharp sculpted cuts. Dressed up with a crisp shirt, or down with casual sneakers, it’s a look with endless potential.
Men’s jeans have been getting skinnier and skinnier to the point where they are getting tight like tights! Washes are varied, from black and dark to light and bleached. From the runway and the red carpet to the street, one thing is for sure; these jeans are so snug they fit like a glove!

A new fashion season has just started again. The upcoming season is full of new trends, shapes, proportions, and colors - enough ingredients to bring a completely fresh direction into the fashion world. After several fashion weeks throughout the world, fashion editors, buyers, merchandisers, and trend-setters are ready to "impose" and present to the consumer the next biggest trends for the future season.

These brands are coming out with new trends, such as the high waist, the wide leg, or an interesting color treatment - metallic detailing and a black and grey focus. In addition, they are proposing a more sophisticated fit for urban jeans wear. Denim is part of the world’s history and it is never dated. Denim is modern, and lately, went through a lot of transformations, becoming a luxury item too. Needless to say that it is extremely commercial, and again, it will go big next season.
