Fashion Industry for Men

Sir Henry David Thoreau once stated, “Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new!” A philosopher and naturalist, he wasn’t slightly associated with the glamorous and bewitching fashion industry. But as I may put it, drinking wine may not be something that I do, but holding the glass makes me feel rich!

With the changing times, the demands and the style statement of the humans have undergone some significant changes. Women seem to have been the predominant choice for the cover-page of the stylish fashion magazines. But, ‘Man’ the social animal has now caught up with the ‘look good – feel good’ line up. Surveys point out to the fact that men still do not feel that they are given any sort of importance by the fashion industry at all.

It’s not about how you look but it’s about how you feel would be the verdict of the man who is an ardent follower of fashion.

However the ultimate question that remains is ‘what does a man expect from the Fashion Industry’ overall? Is it just about clothing? The metro-sexual man is here to answer these questions.

Staying fit and possessing the six packs is maybe one of the most essential wants of the new man. And once you have the body, the industry seems to just add the glitter by the ‘oh so sexy’ body fitting tee’s and shirts. Age is just not a barrier anymore. It’s the ’18 till I die’ roll that works for them. Proper gyming and dieting works out well for the fashionable and stylish males. There was a time when there weren’t many choices for men in fashion. Formal trousers to the Khaki’s and Quadroys... it’s been a long way overall for the males to feel comfy in any attire.

All this, in floral prints and velvet touch was once considered for the men with the feminine side. But now, these prints are designed in ways that look impressive on the males. Fashion is not only restricted to the clothing, but with It comes the right accessories, bags, watches and shoes. The industry with its latest styles and colors for men has indeed been a boon for many.

The Fashion Industry for Men helps men gain confidence. Looking good, wearing the right kind of accessories with the clothes to go with only enhance the personality of the male. Fashion is here to stay!
