Red, brick, wine, burgundy, garnet, purple shades continue to set fashion trends this year. This season, designers did not ignore men: bright images based on popular shades were created for them. Brick, coral and red jeans for men are trendy new items of 2018, the rules of combination of which will be discussed in this article. We suggest you familiarize yourself with a selection of men's images based on current models.
Popular models
The main features of the season are: no prints, men's skinny jeans, cuffed jeans and classic cuts. Fittings and accessories are kept to a minimum - they are used only for their intended purpose.
Classic cuts are back in fashion this season
Men's denim pants no longer boast a variety of shapes, but the urban style has been replenished with a wide palette of shades. The Lee and Wrangler brands have presented burgundy, brick and coral jeans in their latest collections. The characteristic features of these models are:
- Classic straight cut;
- No abrasions, slits, stripes, or patch pockets;
- No prints, rhinestones or inscriptions.
Extravagant men's skinny jeans
The style will not suit every man, but on a thin athletic figure in an informal setting it will look great. Skinny jeans are inappropriate in the cold season. It is acceptable to roll up the legs of tapered models by a few centimeters.
Another trend of 2018 is colored jeans with cuffs
Each collection this year includes models specially designed for the spring-summer season. A homemade cuff is no more than 2-4 cm and is appropriate only for leisure or in an informal setting. When choosing jeans with cuffs, you should pay special attention to the quality of the shoes. After all, the peculiarity of this model is the visual emphasis on the ankles. Short men should avoid cuffs, as they hide their height. Standard-length jeans with false cuffs will help you.
Japanese cut
Relaxed, comfortable jeans in the style of Japanese kimono are presented in the collections of Asos, Baldwin, and Topman.
Loose fit
Classic-cut jeans with straight or tapered legs are considered the most comfortable to wear due to their loose fit. Leading brands such as Levi's 501, River Island and Mackintosh have included loose-fitting models in their collections, making them as discreet and monochrome as possible.
What to avoid:
- Designers do not recommend giving preference to men's jeans with a high waist: choose a classic mid-rise style;
- The tapered legs of classic models should also be left in the past;
- Additional decorative elements: pockets, zippers, appliqués.
Men who are not confident in the merits of their figure should avoid red shades of trousers: it is better to give preference to darker, more restrained tones. Blue or gray jeans can visually correct excess weight in the waist area, while a coral or brick model, on the contrary, accentuates this area.
Shades and what colors to combine with
Shades of red are not typical for a man's wardrobe: they are pretentious and too intrusive. Modern fashion has not abolished the centuries-old aesthetics - bold colored trousers should be the only bright or outstanding accent in the entire image. As you can see, a radical change of wardrobe to please a newfangled trend is not required at all. On the contrary, there will be an opportunity to "bring to light" some things that previously seemed too restrained or boring. Names of shades: Sangria, Burgundy, Terracotta, Bordeaux, Carmine, as well as more prosaic ones: brick, coral, bronze.
Dark shades: Bordeaux, Burgundy, Sangria.
Light shades: Terracotta, coral.
Bright shades: Carmine, brick.
Light shades are suitable for summer outdoor recreation or on the beach. They are matched with a light T-shirt in the same tone with short sleeves or a light linen shirt of a loose silhouette. At the peak of popularity of men's fashion is the dusty coral shade of cotton trousers. A pair of plain light sports shoes or light brown suede shoes goes well. In the cool season, the set will be complemented by a sports jacket, an informal jacket or a shirt with a red and blue check.
The most popular shade of 2018 was noble burgundy. It absorbed 75% red, 25% blue and a few yellow sparkles. Rich burgundy goes well with black accessories: bags, belts, shoes. Burgundy trousers go well with white shirts of a classic cut, as well as dark blue sweaters.
Trousers in rich shades of red harmonize with clothes in muted brown, swamp, dirty gray tones, especially on men with dark hair and eyes. Any shades of gray, as well as their combinations with brown, dark blue or brown-green tones will be a great ensemble with jeans of a non-standard color. Jeans in the color Sangria, Carmine are combined with a light blue or white long-sleeved shirt, a gray sweater or jacket.
Shoes
The color of men's shoes is usually chosen to match the color of the jacket, cardigan or sweater. In the case of a snow-white or pale blue shirt, it is better to choose brown shoes.
- The loafers pair perfectly with chinos in a rich brick shade;
- Strict leather loafers or boots will be appropriate with jeans made of thick cotton in dark shades.
Stylish accessories:
- Dark brown leather straps;
- Suede (leather) moccasins in nude, sand and brown shades, black espadrilles;
- Strict black cases or tablet bags with straps made of genuine leather or suede.
Don't forget about the common rule of good taste: you shouldn't combine more than three shades in an image at the same time. Since one of them is bright and leading, the other two remain restrained or neutral. The leading shade should not take up more than half of the space of a man's suit. White, blue and gray shades are traditionally considered neutral.
Recommendations for creating an image
Red jeans should be the only bright accent of a man's image. Absolutely inappropriate: patent leather shoes, contradictory textures of fabrics. The cut of a shirt or T-shirt depends on the style of pants: fitted or tight T-shirts and jumpers look organic with classic jeans. The choice of footwear is not limited: sneakers, shoes, moccasins, espadrilles, boots, boots.
All shades of red are inappropriate in a business man's wardrobe: such clothes are not intended for business negotiations, traditional ceremonies, office work, visiting the theater or the philharmonic.
On cloudy days of the spring-autumn period, men have a serious question: what to wear with red jeans, which continue to remain at the peak of popularity? We recommend several successful ensembles:
- For brick-colored trousers, choose a dark blue turtleneck sweater, brown leather shoes, a belt and a watch strap. The look goes well with light brown hair and a light skin tone;
- A plain denim shirt should be carefully matched to the color of the trousers: it will literally sparkle against the background of coral jeans;
- Light muted red jeans are paired with a white shirt, a blue V-neck sweater, a black leather crossbody bag, and classic sneakers;
- Terracotta trousers with a grey shirt, swamp jumper and brown belt, as well as brown leather loafers - an elegant look with an urban style.
Summer jeans for men in a brick shade look great with the following wardrobe items:
- Sports-type trousers can be rolled up at the bottom without using a belt and combined with black espadrilles on a light sole. The look will be complemented by a light jumper with wide stripes in a dark blue shade. A light, fitted black sports windbreaker and a massive black watch will be appropriate here;
- Classic-cut jeans in a brick shade are combined with black loafers made of genuine leather and a thin leather belt. On top, you can choose a simple but high-quality cotton T-shirt and a light gray button-down sweater, on which you can roll up the sleeves below the elbow. An additional accessory is a classic watch on a black leather strap;
- The same trousers and black leather belt look good with a black, not too formal tie, a gray cotton shirt, and nude loafers.
Dark burgundy or plum shades of jeans look slightly reserved. Products made of dense fabric in dark shades of red are good in the cold season. They are combined with plain blue, gray and black outerwear. Do not forget about a cotton plaid shirt worn over a plain T-shirt and black, blue or mustard boots made of genuine leather and suede.
Pairing extravagantly colored trousers with other items of clothing is definitely not an easy task, but by understanding the general idea of the discussions presented here, you will be able to maintain a balance between formality and spontaneity.
