The start of the New Year is a great time to make some changes to update your wardrobe in 2018. While 2017 had men embracing patterns, dad sneakers, 90’s athleticism and 70’s macho style, this year brings new trends that are sure to be included in many fashionable men’s wardrobes. As more and more Ugandan men’s style choices are influenced by celebrities, tastemakers, and even the women in their lives, 2018 is shaping up to be another year of fashion for those who aspire to Kanye West levels of style. Here are the top men’s fashion trends to watch in 2018.
Classic shoes
This year will see a return to the classic footwear like leather brogues, lace-up shoes, and boots. While ugly dad sneakers may have had their time in the spotlight last year, it’s time to leave the off-duty shoes behind and learn how to wear your leather shoes with jeans again and to pair your trousers with loafers or another kind of dress shoe. A return to cleaner, modern gentleman style appears to be inevitable as high-end fashion brands have started turning out classic footwear in sumptuous leathers once again. So bring out your shoe polishing kit this year—it’s all about dapper style from here on out.
Embroidered bomber jackets
While making their AMA debut in November last year, Korean pop group BTS wowed in satin statement bomber jackets with rich embroidery and sequins, and the colorful toppers made them stand out by giving them a fun look. The jackets are sure to be the most wanted pieces of 2018 as designers and high street brands are churning out their own versions to give gentlemen everywhere that playful and youthful vibe. Slip one on this year and look and feel like a star.
Dark denim
Everyone seemed to sport jeans with multiple rips in 2017, but for this year, it’s possible that we’ll see a return to classic, dark denim with nary a single tear or a hole. Find a pair that fits you just right and wear it with a soft, oversized sweater or your favorite button-down shirts. It’s also likely that we’ll see a looser fit among stylish individuals in 2018, which are more forgiving and comfortable than the skinny jeans that were in vogue during the previous years.
This year, upgrade your look by trying any of the fashion trends of the year. You’re sure to look fresh, modern, and stylish in 2018.
