Although it seems like winter will never end, before you know it you’ll be stopping to sip that morning coffee in the park on the way to work and the sun will be out with greater frequency, shining a light on your fashion choices. Now is the perfect time to get ahead of the game and freshen up your spring wardrobe. Every year there are subtle shifts in the trends and styles that are most in vogue, while of course there are some staple classics that stay around for the duration. Let’s take a look at what’s hot for spring 2018 in the world of men’s suits.
Vertical verve
While primary colours are the staple for most designers this season, vertical stripes are certainly the exception. All manner of designs proliferate from pin to thicker stripes. The best thing about this trend is that all body shapes will be flattered. In addition vertical stripes offer a great way of adding some va-va-voom to your wardrobe and creating an eye-catching impression, reflecting great inner confidence.
Five colours for the win
When it comes to colours this spring, the classic summer colours will offer the safest and most appealing options for all suits, from linen to cotton and blended fabric options – all of which come with their spring/summer pros and cons. In addition there is one colour that simply must be added, although most likely as an accessory.
Pale grey
Of course most of us have a grey suit, but this spring why not try to seek out a lighter shade (maybe two or three shades lighter than the average grey) to achieve a breezier, more carefree look. It is a great way to make your dress sense seem effortless and sophisticated and will look amazing with a fresh pale blue shirt, or even a minty green one – more on that later.
Mid blue
Bin the navy and go for that deep summery mid blue. Once again this will look great with a crisp, pale blue shirt.
Beige
Beige doesn’t have to be boring. On the contrary, you can seek out a beige linen suit instead of the typical cream in order to keep your commute nice and cool. You also get added practicality and the colour is very easy to match as beige goes with pretty much anything – especially pale blue (meaning your staple shirt can get some more action) or even light pink.
White
It takes great confidence to wear an all-white suit, but white is a definite go-to colour for spring 2018. You can just add white to your overall look via a pair of snazzy shoes, a tie or shirt, but a white suit can also look incredible. Just don’t go all out white as you will look gaunt. Instead think contrasts.
Minty fresh wildcard
There’s no doubt about it, minty green is one of the colours of spring 2018. Of course it will be tricky to find a suit in this exact shade, but shirts, ties and accessories can all be added to give a dazzling, fresh look to your updated wardrobe.
