Sh*t Guys Should Know About Fashion - #5

From my personal experience, fashion can be pretty hard to follow if you don’t know what people are talking about. So I thought that starting the Sh*t Guys Should Know About Fashion segment would be a great way to unravel most of the jargon you hear or read about fashion. 

If you’ve got any confusing terms to add to the list, just drop them in the comments section and I’ll be happy to help!

Spring Edit 2012 - Sporty/Formal

One of the key trends this spring will be fusing sportswear and more formal pieces together. So look out for high tech, lightweight fabrics being mixed with more traditional tailored jackets as seen at Mugler and Lanvin. Also bare in mind that shorts will become much shorter, especially those with the confidence to work this daring look. The look and feel for this spring is much more relaxed and playful so don’t be afraid to mix colours and layer different textures. I’m especially loving the way Dolce and Gabbana have experimented with lightweight mesh t-shirt and shorts. Here’s hoping that we’ll have the perfect weather to compliment this bold fashion statement!
