London Men’s Fashion Week 2017 was recently held in the British capital. Throughout, designers like J.W.Anderson, Xander Zhou and Craig Green gathered to reveal what’s set to be hot in men’s style later this year. These are the seven trends from London Men’s Fashion Week Autumn/Winter 2017 that LUXE Models just know you’ll want to try out for yourself

1. Crop tops

Continuing with the androgyny trend, crop tops were everywhere this time around, even though they’re not practical in winter. Highlights include Katie Eary’s and Xander Zhou’s knitted tank crop tops and Bobby Abley’s high-cut hoodies, which came with seasonal faux fur for practicality.

2. Patchwork colour-blocking

At this Men’s Fashion Week, colour-blocking was everywhere, with designers often opting for patchwork prints. Everyone from Liam Hodge to Christopher Shannon included patchwork and colour-blocked jackets in their lines and many even went for contrasting shades, like turquoise and purple.

3. Puffed up style

If we learned anything at this event, it’s that puffa jackets are here to stay. Some designers, like Astrid Andersen, made the puffa look stylish in their shows. Other went further, with Liam Hodges, Topman and Craig Green teaming the piece with matching pairs of quilted bottoms in shades like canary yellow.

4. Wide-legged trousers

According to the Independent, skinnies are out and wide-brimmed trousers are back. In London, everything from cropped cargo pants hidden under manifold pockets to full-length, floor sweeping versions were on display, with designers like J.W.Anderson and Casely-Hayford showcasing this trend.

5. Seasonal colour

The hottest colour for men in Autumn/Winter 2017 will be royal purple, according to London Men’s Fashion Week. Designers like Christopher Shannon used it for their two-piece tracksuits. Meanwhile, Katie Eary blended it with hints of orange in her collection, striking a very fashion forward contrast.

6. Fluoro brights

Other designers, however, chose to imbue their clothes with fluoro brights in London instead. This style was especially apparent at the Liam Hodges show, where fluoro yellow tees and fur-trimmed jackets were everywhere. Meanwhile Topman, whose psychedelic knits were amazing, also championed fluoro brights.

7. Atypical leather

You can’t move in London without bumping into a leather-clad model. But, while Matthew Miller went for standard biker and aviator styles, other designers showcased more atypical leather looks. Fashion week saw everything from full length, cinched-in leather robes to boxy, short leather styles bedecked in clear, Perspex buttons., It’s apparent that unusual leather has never been hotter for men!

Male glamour

The London event was part of Men’s Fashion Month Autumn/Winter 2017, with shows also being held in New York, Milan and Paris. If you want to break into male modelling, watch footage from these events, to see how top models like Cameron Dallas strut down the runway.

Cameron Dallas was absent from London, but he did make an appearance at the Dolce & Gabbana show in Milan. Industry portal Teen Vogue writes that for the display, Cameron rocked an eye-catching, maroon-sequined tuxedo with a matching bow tie. Also in Milan, fellow rising star Austin Mahone was sent down the runway in a similar, black-adorned tuxedo by the fashion house.

Men like Cameron Dallas, as well as rising stars such as Jacob Collins and Emmanuel Adjaye, who appeared at the London event, are ones to watch for aspiring male models. By showcasing glamourous male trends at Fashion Week, they illustrate how you can strut down the runway and look amazing while wearing anything!
