Men’s Spring/Summer 2015 Fashion Trend: 1970s
Men’s Fashion Goes Far Out While the 1960s have, until recently, been having a heyday in fashion – helped along by fictional ad man Don Draper’s nattily suited style – menswear is soon set to shift its focus to the fringed suede and heady floral prints of the 1970s.

Men’s 2014/15 Accessory Trend: Document Holders/Folios
Practical Accessories In the modern era, men are becoming more and more aware of the importance of accessorising.
