10 Styling Tricks We're Stealing From the Spring 2017 Men's Runway Shows
Taking "borrowed from the boys" to a whole new level.
Women have been borrowing from the boys for decades, but now you can do more than simply borrow (or flat out steal) an old college sweatshirt from your last S.O. Let the spring 2017 menswear collections inspire you to try something on your own—everything from satin trenches to Janet Jackson-esque facial jewelry.
Wearing a Neck Scarf Over a Turtleneck
As seen at: Gucci
Why we love it: We're obsessed with Gucci, turtlenecks, and bandanas, so why not combine forces for one mega on-trend outfit? We'll be wearing this look as soon as the weather allows (but we're low-key willing to sweat it out for this dapper style).
Facial Jewelry
As seen at: Alexander McQueen
Why we love it: Alexander McQueen has been experimenting with facial jewelry for a few seasons now, but this collection featured opulent ear-to-nose pieces reminiscent of Janet Jackson circa Runaway. Paired with a clean suit and minimal lines, this statement piece is something we'll be mustering up the courage to try all summer long.
Flashy Tuxedo Jackets
As seen at: Dolce & Gabbana
Why we love it: Expect a return of the flashy blazer, recently seen at Dolce & Gabbana's Jazz Age-meets-Duckie-from-Pretty-in-Pink menswear collection. The tuxedo jacket, pictured here in gold brocade, will look just as slick with denim as it does with an LBD.
The Great Outdoors-Inspired Gear
As seen at: Prada
Why we love it: We don't expect anyone to go full parachute-chic like Prada's menswear collection, but there is much to be inspired by. From windbreaker jackets to Teva-style footwear (that would look perfect with a white shirtdress), get on board with the Italian house's outdoorsy runway.
Statement Fedora
As seen at: Bally
Why we love it: The fedora is a polarizing accessory (leaving many shaking in their winklepicker boots) but this season opt for a wider brim in a bright color like this pink embroidered version by Bally and you'll be good to go.
Satin Trench Coats
As seen at: J.W.Anderson
Why we love it: The patent trench may be our go-to this winter, but the satin version is our ideal summer coat. Seen at J.W.Anderson last week, the airy trench coat is made for cool summer nights with its mid-thigh hemline and three-quarter sleeves.
Heavy Workwear
As seen at: A.P.C.
Why we love it: Varsity jackets, satin bombers—we've seen just about every style of the collarless jacket. Or so we thought until this heavy duty variation by A.P.C. popped up. If you're the type to dig deep for the most authentic, origin-story-style, try the workwear brand Carhartt for their original take on the cotton jacket.
Cropped Puffer Jacket
As seen at: Topman
Why we love it: The puffer jacket is difficult to pull off given it's not-so-flattering shape, but Topman's cropped version is the solution to making the bulbous outerwear work for you. Style it with high-waisted flares and heels to show off your curves, or try the designer's matching set for a confusingly cold beach day.
Waist-High Boots
As seen at: Vetements
Why we love it: Known for their gender-bending aesthetic, Vetements models strutted down the runway in boots that put Rihanna's collab with Manolo Blahnik to shame (at least height-wise!). We predict the waist-high boot to be the new OTK (but is probably reserved those who have the extra-long inseam to match).
Shirtless Suiting
As seen at: Gucci
Why we love it: Similar to Anja Rubik's suit without a shirt look, we're so into this Gucci styling, especially since it's paired with the trend we're still obsessed with, choker necklaces.
