For those of you close to me, you already know. Those of you who are just readers/followers (Thank you for your support <3) you don’t know. I have recently taken on a new job, a coveted job for any college sophomore, a buying job. In the men’s department.
Heading in I knew very little about the changing trends as I’ve rarely studied the guy’s side. As my first month comes to a close, I’m feeling more confident and educated. I know very few truly styling men in my life, and I wish more straight guys would care about style, but alas, the world can’t be perfect.
Here are a few men’s fashions I’ve noticed for the upcoming season.
1. Brights
Similarly to femme fashion, bright colors and “color blocking” are a necessity.

Where to go for all your bright basics? American Apparel seems to be the winner for pricing and functionality.
2. Business Casual
This is one men’s trend that I absolutely adore, and I can’t stress it enough. A man in jeans, a button front shirt with sleeves rolled up and maybe a vest or a bowtie=SEX.

Not to objectify, but I think Keiko Lynn’s boyfriend is a perfect example of how every straight man should dress.

In real life, this is a simple style for even straight men to follow. Places to shop for this look? Forever 21, H&M, and Express.
3. On the Seas

While nautical is like, a spring staple similar to florals, this yer it’s taking on a new approach. Ofcourse, boat shoes are a nice addition to your shoe collection, navy stripes are coveted in larger fronts. Windbreaker jackets (Even without the wind) are a must have.
So, my few men out there reading, what are your thoughts?
