As with all fashion trends, we see novelties hit the market and thankfully disappear into the 'what was I thinking?' history books. However, firm favorites make the rounds again and again, sparking nostalgia for the older generations as they see their favorite pieces of fashion revitalized on the modern market.
2020 is no different. Hopefully, it will be the end of some disastrous decisions such as the glitter beard, which was just plain itchy and the see-through backpack, which, frankly, was a safety risk for anyone who wore it.
However, hitting the catwalks this 2020 are some pieces of fashion that deserve a come back paired up with other items that have finally broken through the gender gap and show how fashion choices for all are leaning towards gender neutralization and fluidity.
Let's take a closer look at some of the 2020 trends you will see hitting the catwalk and streets this year.
Cross-Body Bags and Tote Bags
2020 is the year of bags for men, gone are the days where men would be forced to jam their pockets full of their everyday essentials. In today's fashion, a cross-body bag worn high up over the chest is a fashionable choice for the busy man.
Additionally, office men are swapping out their briefcases or unprofessional looking backpacks for a tote bag. Carry your paperwork and laptop in style with a leather or canvas tote with a nostalgic satchel design.
Leather Jackets
Leather jackets are making a comeback and are becoming a popular choice over a trench coat. Bring a bit of edge to your look with a plain leather jacket in dark brown or black. This stylish jacket choice is not just practical but looks great when you layer up for everyday or office wear.
In comparison to the leather jackets that we saw some years ago on the catwalks, this year emphasizes simplicity, with a soft folded lapel. Double zips and fitted seems to give your jacket enough detail this year.
Shaggy Hair
The fade is beginning to fade away as shaggy and sweeping hair make a come back from the yesteryears of the 70s, and 80s British rock and indie singer look. Men's grooming has become a popular topic of conversation and something that men of 2020 don't shy away from.
Wearing your hair longer was often considered as an unprofessional look, but with the multitude of products now on the market designed specifically for men allowing them to pull off shaggy down do, men can now style their hair with ease and still look business roam ready.
Barbers at King's Crown have cornered the market on men's grooming and mention how an unforgettable grooming experience for men is important, because why don't they deserve to be pampered too!
Cowboy Hats
Hats have seen the beanie, the floppy bobble hat, the trilby, and many more come and go from fashion trends. 2020 is set to see the rise of the cowboy hat from the grave.
A dark-colored cowboy hat can complement any outfit and give your look a little edge to it. The wide brim and height help to shape the face and accentuate your height plus with a shaggy hairdo you can show off your locks while making you look confident and interesting.
Rock the Retro
All in all, 2020 is set to be an exciting year of comebacks in men's fashion and trends. Men are opting to stay well-groomed but add an edge to their look. Even those that have to wear a suit daily now add a little flare to the colors, textures, and fit of their clothes.
Don't shy away and sink into the background, 2020 is the year to show your personality through what you wear and stand out from the crowd.
