GTG's Spring 2012 Men's Fashion Trend Report

Fellas-- here is your spring 2012 trend report to keep you looking sharp and stylish throughout the sizzling months that lie ahead.

This season is defined by the revival of classic looks with modern twists.

The Essentials:

• Color Pants: It's all about pops of color for bottoms: trousers, chinos, jeans or shorts. Remember to wear these pants with classic items like polos (in the summer) and cardigan sweaters (in the fall) to achieve the perfect look.

Note: This season designers have focused on clean cuts and tailored looks, so forget all about the baggy jeans as that is no longer in! And don't forget pops of neon colors are also very hot for men.

Jil Sander Cotton Blend Trousers

• The Gingham Shirt: A classic staple in any gentleman's wardrobe. Gingham  refers to  the colored checks that are spliced with white checkers. Gingham originally started as a striped pattern, but by mid-18th century the checkered pattern became the norm

Note: Buy a gingham shirt in linen for the summertime.

Hugo Boss Slim Fit Dress Shirt

•  Polo Shirts: are another classic staple in any man's wardrobe. It's easy to dress up or down. And it's the middle point in a spectrum of shirts ranging from dress shirts to casual t-shirst. They're great to pair with color trousers or your swim trunks.

•  Loafers: Effortless, yet refreshing. Say bye bye to your sandals and replace them with a pair of casual  loafers.

• Short Swim Trunks: Who wears short shorts? Hopefully you will! Swim trunks have gone short for a retro look.
