Best Trends at London’s Fashion Week – Androgyny

The Perfect Trench

When most people hear the word “androgynous” -they cringe. But times are changing and androgynous fashion designs are stealing the limelight at the 2013 London Men’s Fashion week. Take it from us, no one is cringing. They’re applauding. Androgynous fashion is all about taking a utilitarian and minimalistic approach to garments resulting in a clean and modern aesthetic that is without huge gender biases. Here are a few aspects of androgyny in menswear fashion that could instantly enhance your own approach to style.

Muted Colors
A big aspect of androgyny in men’s fashion is the use of muted colors. Because strong colors can often be gender specific, it’s much easier to get this look if the colors you utilize are more subtle; think graphite greys, summer wheats are pure blacks. Metallics are also commonly used to create an androgynous effect, especially when it comes to outerwear. While some people might find this color palette somewhat cold, that’s exactly what you’re going for if you’re trying to embrace the look.

Long Trench Coats
Trench coats aren’t for everyone. They can be too much fabric for a lot of men. But for those who are trying to get the androgynous look, they are quintessential. This is the perfect time to embrace a long, designer-made trench coat, especially if you combine it leather oxfords. Androgynous trenches are available in a variety of different materials ranging from leather to waxed cotton. Investing in a quality made trench coat will be a wise and style savvy move!

Takeaways for the Modern Man
An androgynous look is a brilliant style to embrace if you are modern man who likes to mix and match everything he owns. The neural color palette and the classic pieces never fall out of trend because of their coveted style and minimalism. Invest in a few designer pieces that can be worn for all occasions and stick to a color palette of androgynous tans, greys, navys and blacks.
