Spring 2016 menswear trend report
Menswear fashion weeks may have been over, but there were many elements in common on most designers, forming the trends for the Spring 2016 period. We spotted the latest trends from the catwalk and we present them to you below:
1. Lads in Lace: Men are invited to discover their feminine side, through the lace shirts of Gucci and Burberry Prorsum. The lace is undoubtedly next spring’s best fabric: fresh and elegant!
