Men's Spring 2014 Trends

Even though I'm a women, I still study menswear and I enjoy it just as much as I enjoy women's clothing. With Spring 2014 being just around the corner, there's a few new trends that we're spotted on the runway in Milan, London, and New York, for men.

Here's 16 trends you can look forward to wearing, men!

  1. Floral prints (which is kind of surprising to me)
  2. A print called "Watercolor"
  3. Softer tailored suits
  4. Longer jackets
  5. Wider pants
  6. Double breasted blazers
  7. Plaid blazers
  8. Bermuda shorts
  9. The color blue (color of the season)
  10. Athletic/sporty clothing (skate and surfing inspired)
  11. Tunics (Which I think is a little weird for men)
  12. Soft "man bags"
  13. Bomber jackets
  14. "Nerdy"
  15. Ombre
  16. Bucket hats

Nicki Minaj's Kmart Clothing Line

Nicki Minaj's long-awaited clothing line finally debuted October 15, 2013. It's only being sold at Kmart and Shopyourway.com. The goal for her clothing line was to be cheap, affordable, and comfortable, but yet very stylish. The prices range anywhere between from four to forty bucks. Her clothing line was inspired by Versace, Chanel, and Herve Leger. Nicki Minaj is known for colorful and outrageous outfits and her clothing line is giving her fans a chance to dress like her. What you should expect to see is acid-washed jeans, velour tracksuits, animal print anything, body-con dresses and skirts, and of course leggings. (Image from www.rap-up.com)

Who I Am

My name is Daijah N, I am a 18 year old African American senior who attends Wyoming High School. I have a passion for fashion (even though that saying is very cliche) but it describes me perfectly! After high school I plan to attend Western Michigan University for four years and to receive a bachelor's degree in Fashion Merchandising and Photography. Every since I was a kid, I've always had a desire to have a fashion career, from sketching models to even sewing clothes. My original dream was to be a high fashion model, but when I was in 6th grade I realized that I'm only 5'1 and that career path is impossible to be successful in being as short as I am. But my blog is here to talk just a little bit about who's wearing what, or new and upcoming clothing lines, and maybe some clothing line reviews.
