NEW YORK, Jan 11, 2013/ — It’s all about getting the total look right now in menswear according to H&M’s head menswear designer Andreas Löwenstam. Here he picks his favorite trends for the beginning of the new year.
– SHARP SILHOUETTE: “Wearing this navy jacket and pants with a clean white shirt and tie is like a palette cleanser for the new year. It hints at the sharp new tailoring which will dominate 2013 and looks even better with an H&M leather briefcase.”
– FRESH PLAID: “Plaid is such a great way to wear color. I love the neatness of this jacket, worn with great jeans, a colored crewneck sweatshirt or a raglan tee underneath and a pair of white sneakers to complete the look.”
– NEW UTILITY: “It’s great to get in on a trend like utility early on particularly because it’s so wearable. This utility jacket will soon become a favorite, especially when worn with a sailor stripe top or a textured marled crewneck.”
– CITY SMART: “This car coat cuts such an elegant silhouette and looks so modern in this shade of blue. It looks great in the city when worn with a cable-knit sweater, some new classic beige chinos and a great pair of brown lace-ups.”
– BRILLIANT PRINT: “Graphic print pants look so strong right now and are so versatile to wear. One great option is to match them with this season’s essential baseball jacket and a crewneck T-shirt.”
