What Are The Top Fashion Ideas Of 2012?
In 2012 fashion is going to merge classic, retro looks with sportswear and contemporary style to create fresh, original ideas and looks. A key feature in 2012 will be the use of distinct colours to create a visually stunning appearance.
Brighter is Better
Contrast and colour clashing is a key theme throughout 2012’s main trends. Remember the brighter the colour the greater the contrast, and the more distinct your look will be.
Navy chinos are a great foundation from which to build a bright, evocative outfit. Navy chinos are a great “go to” piece and should be a staple in any man’s wardrobe. Chinos lend themselves to fitting well in various ensembles but come to the forefront this year, creating the point to which all of your other garments will relate.
God is in the Detail
With the chinos ready to go, it’s simply a matter of choosing vibrant, distinct colours which flow and create a stunning contrasting look. Try a multi-coloured stripe t-shirt. This will work extra well if the base colour of the t-shirt is white. Look for two or three tones in the shirt stripes. Ideally, one will match the colour of the trouser and sit next to a lighter shade of the same colour.
The final stripe will be the contrast, look for a fluorescent green or a powerful yellow which will really understate and add definition to the look as a whole.
Accessories and even underwear can play a huge role in this. Chinos paired with a stylish pair of plimsolls look great rolled up. Pick a bright, loud sock to match the colour of the brightest stripe in your shirt. Add sunglasses with colourful rims, again matching the shirt. These are just two simple purchases which turn an outfit into a statement and a look.
Finish this off with a light coloured jacket or sporty anorak to add a final twist. Your look will turn heads everywhere with such a stylish, thoughtful outfit. It’s easy to put your own twist on this look to represent your own personality. Be careful with your colour selection. Contrasting is great; too many bright colours in one look won’t work though.
