It’s November and the always-forward fashion calendar will now turn its focus on the new year, but what’s really next?
With menswear, it’s common to assume that the best picks to expand your wardrobe with would consist of all-black, simple designs that will last a decade. Although that idealism is accurate, anyone should be encouraged to try new styles. One that is increasingly popular among men is the return of the bohemian style, perhaps thanks to Alessandro Michele for turning every vintage thing cool again.
This bohemian style might not be similar to the ones you might associate it with. Yes, there’s bound to be lots of tanned colours and gold trims, but you wouldn’t have to worry about the fringes that hasn’t aged well. None of that has returned.
The new, modern bohemian style is a nod to simplicity (a sturdy movement menswear is still heading towards), jazzed with a touch of accents from both the old and new. It is illustrated in all colours imagined and of course, spells happiness in all aspects. The next time you’re compiling your wish-list, you’d realise what we really mean.
To help you out with that, here are our picks of the best accessories from the season.
