Milan Menswear Trends

Blazers

I came across this article in The Guardian the other day that looked at the top ten trends of Milan Menswear Fashion Week.  I have never really paid attention to menswear trends before, since my boyfriend would never wear what I tell him to anyways.  However, with the prospects of him joining me in New York in a couple years, he has been relying on my sense of what is on trend to plan his wardrobe accordingly.

Leopard?

There are certainly some trends I can fully endorse.  Blazers are always a classic way to make any look sophisticated, and I love it when men wear sweaters.  However, I am not so sure on my feelings about plaid all over or a leopard print trench.  I tip my hat to any man who can pull it off though!  But the most surprising trend that I really fell for was the use of velvet and leather.  Men do not get to play with textures often, and can you imagine cuddling up to a velvet suit at the theatre?

What do you think about these trends?  Something to try, or are they only meant for the runway?
