So I thought it was only right to create a discussion about men’s fashion on the streets of London, and how style differs across the globe. Mens fashion in London is booming right now, with the latest menswear day being a huge success at LFW. The collections amazed a lot of people, and men are finally making their mark on the fashion scene. So hitting the streets of London, questions were pitched to some of the stylish chaps about the rise of mens fashion and style in general.
So what can we take from this video? Mens fashion in London is currently seeing a huge rise in the preppy look, with guys taking another angle of the work outfit. Typically a work outfit would consist of a grey tailored suit, with suitable footwear and a shirt and tie combination. Men are becoming a bit more relaxed now, and their work outfits are heavily inspired by the preppy trend. This being said, the fashion differs across the city with a lot of influences from biker, military, rocker style and mod trends. The diversity makes London an amazing place for Fashion, and the menswear scene is finally getting the recognition it deserves.
Vintage touches are also common in London, with vintage stores seeing a huge rise in popularity. With vintage ties easily adding a twist on a look, a lot of the guys in the video talk about second hand pieces.
The video touches on how men now pay more attention to their appearance, showing that no longer are we as guys, seeing fashion or grooming as a feminine thing to be doing. The rise in the grooming industry has been astonishing, showing that men are now actually spending their hard earned cash on looking after their appearance… 10 years ago a man wouldn’t even spare the embarrasment of holding a bottle of moisturiser. Times are changing, and the future’s exciting for menswear in London.
