Men’s Fashion Week takes on another season as designers gave a slew of ideas that will eventually be spotted on the streets and IRL. While some trends are deemed almost costumey and only runway-worthy, there are a few that we think are absolutely wearable and might just guarantee you a street-style worthy status.
Below, we show you how you can incorporate 3 men’s fashion week trends from the SS17 collections without breaking the bank:
Athleisure goes to the streets

It’s no surprise that hoodies, sports jackets, and sweats are reigning the runways this season. The laidback, sporty aesthetic has been taking on seasons since AW16, and this time around athleisure isn’t just about neoprene and cool kicks anymore. We spotted a ’90s throwback vibe at Gosha Rubchinskiy, a more refined veneer at Versace, and sports-luxe at Astrid Andersen. But if you want to transition into something more functional for everyday/or weekend, here’s how you can do it:
Try out graphics with this abstract sweatshirt from Elevenparis, and pair it with jeans that aren’t too fitted—skinny is out, haven’t you heard. And a key essential to any street-inspired look? A pair of ultra-cool sneakers, such as this Nike x Undercover pair.

Summer-worthy short shorts

If you’ve always thought it was cringe-inducing to spot the mid-section of thighs in swimming trunks (or boxers), put those thoughts to the back of your mind for this SS17’s thigh-skimming trend. Shorts are sporting much shorter hemlines—and not just for the beach. Marni (left) and Fendi (far right) made effortless springtime layering cool, while Gucci dictates that you can wear it with shin-high socks without looking like you belong in the locker room.
For a casual day out, there’s nothing like a white oxford shirt to take you from day to night. J. Crew’s Dock Stretch Cotton Shorts make for an easy transition from day to night—just change out of your Birks to a pair of loafers if necessary.

Seeing stripes

We can’t possibly say no to any leg-lengthening motif especially when it’s stripes. Striped pants are a hit this Spring/Summer 2017 for its versatility. Etro shows us that you can wear cropped striped trousers with a jacket for a dressier look, and you can even pull off stripes on stripes as spotted as Lou Dalton. Elsewhere, Andrea Pompilio channeled a spring-appropriate, ensemble that incorporated crisp whites and colourful bottoms with stripes of varying widths.
Pair your striped trousers (such as these from Antony Morato) with a sporty bomber jacket from Ben Sherman, and go with classic shoes such as Adidas Stan Smiths for a well-rounded getup that doesn’t scream try-hard.
