Men’s Trends of the 2010s
The aforementioned women’s trend of “the J.Crew look” of the late aughts and early 2010s was also one in which men fully partook. For them, there were no peplums or bubble necklaces, but J.Crew’s robust assortment of mid-century suiting in the colors of navy, caramel, and linen. A navy suit worn with brown loafers and colorful socks was the fashionisto’s uniform. The inspiration here can be sourced directly back to Mad Men, which premiered in 2007 and instantly enraptured the world. By 2011, Banana Republic capitalized on the appeal by releasing its own collaboration with Mad Men costume designer Janie Bryant to offer a new collection of 1960s-inspired fashions.
