2014: The year that was
2014 can best be epitomised by the evolution of technology and design. While it can’t be denied that we love and despise both in equal measure, Paresh feels that this relentless advancement has been superseded by a demand for timeless quality and craftsmanship. This is the very reason that the luxury fashion industry has been gushing over all things bespoke this year.

More tangible has been the trend of wearing styles that look unassuming. This past year, Paresh noticed that uncontrived hues and natural tones were being interspersed with deep colours almost as if to offer the wearer a sense of calm within an increasingly chaotic world. Lastly, faux leather trimmings and accessories were all the rage in 2014, putting leather at the forefront of men’s fashion like never before.

But 2015, says Paresh, will be driven by the following trends:

The double-breasted jacket in statement prints will be trending in 2015

Double-breasted jackets: From the traditional grey and navy to the revival of classic checks and pinstripes, right up to more adventurous tones like burgundy, olive green and white, double-breasted jackets will be trending in 2015. If you’re willing to go a step further, prints and motifs including statement florals and polka dots will be making a bigger mark than ever.

Leather Accents

Patent leather:  If leather was big in 2014, its shiner cousin will bounce back to life in 2015. The gloss of patent leather shoes and accessories like a belt adds to a luxurious yet gentlemanly look, perfect to take formal wear up a notch.

So how does one incorporate these trends into their wardrobe this coming year?
Paresh has just one thing to say: Trends and styles come and go, but it’s vital to wear clothes that fit well and shoes that complement your style. This, and well-groomed hair never seem to go out of fashion.
