Spring Codes for Men [ What topics and outfits to look out for in 2021?

Hot topics for men’s spring coordination that will continue from 2020 (1) “The American casual boom just won’t stop! The number of men who can wear martial arts items with ease is rapidly increasing!

As with British classic and French chic, “American casual” is a keyword that has been revived. Among these, we would like to see mature men incorporate the rugged items based on materials such as denim and leather, which symbolize work and western styles. While styles that emphasize American casual are naturally possible, the OTOKOMAE editorial team recommends European styling that dares to combine with dressier items. The combination of simple, martial items such as denijakke and slacks gives the impression of adult elegance and composure.

The vintage market is also hot when it comes to American casual wear!

Vintage items are one of the best parts of American casual fashion. In the U.S. alone, Global Data Retail predicts that “the resale market for clothing, accessories, and footwear will jump to $51 billion by 2023,” and the vintage clothing category is likely to continue to grow. This season may be a good time to dig out and try on some of the gems that were all the rage in the 1990s, such as Levi’s 501s, Champion’s Riversweave, and Red Wing’s Irish Setter.

Red Wing’s Irish Setter “, an item that is slowly gaining attention from the American casual boom.

While sneakers have become a fashion item, the use of leather shoes is suddenly gaining momentum. At the most recent Pitti fashion show, the Red Wing Irish Setter, a pair of boots that were all the rage in the 1990s and are the “American boot” of choice, was a big hit.

Men’s spring coordination hot topics that will continue from 2020 (2) “Dress style is more free! This year, focus on the use of “faded colors!

Tailored jackets were paired with sweatpants, and tailor-made suits in sweatshirt fabrics were introduced. The use of color is attracting more sophisticated styles, and for spring 2021, it is recommended to pay attention to “faded colors. In particular, “ecru,” which is duller than white and gives a more sophisticated impression than beige, is a hot trend. The so-called “fresh color” is also one of the colors that many brands are using this season. It is ideal for creating a different nuance from white items and blends well with basic colors. Especially in a beautiful dress style, the use of ecru will be one of the keys to creating this season’s seasonal style.

Ecru is less aggressive than white, so be bold and wear it with a suit! What an option!

While a white suit may look racy, an ecru suit can easily create a stylish coordinate with a sophisticated feel. We recommend wearing a resort style ecru suit like this for a casual look.
