Spotted: Men’s Spring 2013 Trends Straight From Milan

So we all know I am obsessed with any fashion week! I love the atmosphere and I love seeing the creativity put forth! Milan Men’s Fashion Week for Spring 2013 ended yesterday. I shifted through all the shows and was dazzled by the amazing looks and coming trends. Here are some of the top trends that I spotted:

 

Metallic

Alexander Mcqueen | Burberry | Canali | Ermenegildo Zegna | Roberto Cavalli

Oh boy! Looks like things are about to get shiny! Metallic was all over the collections and I am liking it completely! Burberry had my favorite rendition of the trend. The collection had metallic everything! My favorites were the trench coat and the button-down shirts.

Turquoise

Burberry | Canali | Fendi | Roberto Cavalli | Salvatore Ferragamo

If you love bright, you’re going to love the most seen color–turquoise! I personally love to flaunt this color (it brings out my eyes) because it’s eye-catching! What says spring more than a bright blue?

Floral

Bottega Venetta | Calvin Klein | Canali | Gucci

Typically floral pops up in women’s collections but it made its way to the men’s this season! The type of floral is not super masculine looking but it does set itself apart from the floral associated with a Hawaiian shirt. Will you embrace the flowery print?

Oversized Suits

Dolce & Gabbana | Giorgio Armani | John Varvatos | Versace | Z Zegna

I don’t know about you but I love my clothing fitted. Just about every collection had some form of an oversized suit. The collections still showcased a fitted suit but a bigger cut clearly will be a big trend! I don’t know if I could rock it, but maybe you can.

Colored Leather Jackets

Gucci | Corneliani | Emporio Armani | Ermenegildo Zegna | Neil Barrett

This is easily one of my favorite trends. There is nothing like a great leather jacket to sport at any time of the year–add some color and you have one amazing jacket! I think Emporio Armani’s navy is my favorite.

Oversized Shorts

Emporio Armani | Giorgio Armani | Jil Sanders | Neil Barrett | Z Zegna

Not everyone can make this oversized shorts work, but if you can, make it happen! There were a ton of short shorts spotted on the runway too, but definitely the designers had a preference for the larger kind. Looks like bigger cuts are huge in Spring 2013.

Long Short Sleeves

Calvin Klein | Dolce & Gabbana | Jil Sanders | Valentino | Z Zegna

I hope you are seeing the motif playing out–bigger is better. Are you ready for bigger clothing?

Double-Breasted Suit Jackets

Bottega Venetta | Canali | Ermenegildo Zegna | Gucci | John Varvatos

Normally a double-breasted suit jacket is seen as old-fashioned or just worn by an older generation. Well, button up! These jackets were everywhere! They were also seen in a ton of colors. Forget the black or blue suit, go for color!

Cornflower Blue

Alexander McQueen | Fendi | Gucci | Jil Sanders | Trussardi

You know that pale blue crayon you never used from your crayon box as a child? Well, it’s an ‘it’ color for Spring 2013. I like how it balances the bright turquoise. If you don’t want to be loud, you can rock this cornflower blue.

What do you think of the trends I spotted? Let me know!
