Ever see a men’s fashion show? Well here’s your chance. Play the video — and you can now say that you’ve seen one.

The weather is beautiful here in New York. Finally the clear blue skies and the bright sun can be associated with warmer days. Time to store away the overcoats and heavy sweaters, and dive into the fresh look that the spring season demands.

Fashion week was crazy here in New York. I love men’s fashion shows, but in the end you know there are only so many runway concepts that are going to make it into the retails stores of America.

I’m not a huge fan of trends because they come and go, but some inspiration from the runways can be timeless and practical. Because what’s the point of inspiration if you can’t put it into action?

So here are some of the practical ways that any man can incorporate the recent runway trends into his outfits this season:

Biker Jackets

The biker jacket is back this season, so if you’re the kind of guy that loves leather jackets, wear one with pride and comfort knowing that you’re actually being “fashionable” without trying.

Embrace the Pink

If you own any pink garments, bring them out of hibernation and wear it proudly. If you’ve always been afraid to wear pink, the age of men not being able to wear pink is now behind us, and this season it’s more popular than ever.

White and More White

Black took over the cold season, now it’s White’s turn to take over the warmer season. Bring more white into your outfits this spring and summer by wearing a single white jacket to the club, a pair of white pants as your standout piece, or white shoes to freshen up a rather dull outfit.

The Skinny Tie

The skinny tie is still popular. Wear one with a suit, or even out with a shirt and your favorite pair of jeans.

Colors

Neon is very popular this year. Would I wear neon? Probably not, but be inspired to put aside some of the dark and boring colors you wore this past winter, and brighten up your outfits with a little color. Even a colored accessory such as a tie or scarf will liven up any outfit.

A lot of guys seem to be asking about shorts. Plaid shorts and cargo shorts are in fashion this season. But you really can’t go wrong with classic solid colored shorts like Khaki or Navy blue.

Cheers,

Jae
