Five trends in men’s fashion for autumn-winter 2017: with cords in camel, ’70s styles are back
Fashion trends for men this season hark back to the decade that style forgot, with shades of brown and corduroy now all the rage
It seems silly to consider autumn-winter clothing trends when it’s still warm outside, but blame global warming rather than the fashion labels who are now dutifully filling racks with their latest seasonal offerings.
From army to shiny, 5 key trends for men this winter
If there is one overarching trend this season, it’s the 1970s, with the decade that style supposedly forgot now informing colours and cuts – and even fabrics with corduroy inexplicably making a comeback.
Shades of brown, such as camel, have been popping up all over the place but orange also made its presence felt. When it comes to silhouettes, menswear is no longer skinny, as clothes got looser up top and down below.
1. Study in brown
“Millennial pink” gets far more attention than it deserves; the reality on the autumn-winter catwalks has been markedly different. Gucci, arguably the brand that started the ’70s craze, has been using camel and brown for a few seasons now, but other big Italian labels, including Ermenegildo Zegna, Canali and Brunello Cucinelli, are nailing the look now too.

Best results seem to be incorporating one camel-coloured item into an outfit, but Berluti has added a tailored refinement to the ostensibly bold idea of an all-camel look.

2.Orange all over
For the camel-is-a-dad-colour crowd, the more provocative colour trend this season is orange, which sashayed its way down the catwalks at many of the more avant-garde and youthful labels, including Dior Homme (Kris van Assche momentarily deviating from his tried and trusted black and red aesthetic), as well as Etro, Marni and Ports 1961.
