Casual wear tops men’s list
The reintroduction of an old favorite of men of all ages – brings comfort and style to any wardrobe. The new Duck Head line features vintage wash fabrics for maximum comfort and versatility, most notably khakis with a “distressed” or “worn” feel that offer a fresh alternative to the classic, pleated-front pant.
Painter and cargo styles have become a fashion favorite and can be paired with polos, tees and short-sleeved button-down shirts. For young men, oversized utility-style shorts with worn features are the preferred choice. The destructed look with frayed edges and a worn feel are very popular among young men. Performance fabrics, such as stain-resistant, microfiber and ripstop, also provide quality and comfort for today’s active men.
Red and Carolina blue return as the most popular colors of the season and can be found in solid and accented tee and polos. Horizontal striped polos in various color combinations are a hit with young men, while vertical stripes tend to catch the eye of the mature male shopper. Matching tees can be worn under patterned, short-sleeved button-down shirts, and for men interested in sporting a more relaxed look, a pique ringer tee with denim or khaki shorts is perfect for any casual outing.
Among young men, screen-printed tees are a favorite, especially with “attitude” slogans, sports graphics and outdoor-related activities. Look for graphic tees featuring John Deere and Orange County Choppers to be popular this season. Hunting/fishing scenes remain popular and will be seen among men and young men this spring. Top it off with a mesh trucker cap for a more casual look.
With warm weather returning, active men will be seen sporting the latest in athletic apparel, including shorts, tees and hats. Add a pair of athletic shoes and any guy will be ready for a favorite warm-weather activity.
