FW 2016 Collections bought back the traditional colors, modern shapes and a range of unexpected accessories for the upcoming months. This guide will help with navigating the latest menswear trends for your new Fall/Winter 2016 wardrobe.

 COLOR
Pantone has released its top colors that we’ll be seeing (and wearing) come next season. These are the color you will want to wear. The spring 2016 mix includes colors that are calming and peaceful combined with hues that are bold and playful.
                                      

STYLE
There are plenty of suave styles available thanks to cutting edge designers like Junaid Jamshed, Manish Malhotra and Rohit Bal. Here are the curated trends of Spring Summer 16’.

1. Layer it UP! - We see a lot of layers this season. Kurta, pyjama or dhoti layered with Sherwani’s, Bandhgala’s and Bandi’s. Manish Malhotra, Fahad Hussain and Raghavendra Rathore show us how to do it right.

2. The Asymmetry- Indian men have become more experimental with styles and have embraced the quote "Anything but Basic". Asymmetric details on Ethnic wear have been widely accepted.

3. Mixing East with West - According to Mid- Day, bollywood designer Neeta Lulla says "Designers in the industry have been adapting western trends and inspirations to suit Indian sensibilities  for a while now". Ask her why this trend is all at rage at the moment, she says "Indo fusion mix not only creates a trendy approach to ethnic dressing but also makes it appealing enough to create a style statement".

4. Embroidered Beauty - Embroidery has never gone out of trend. Wondering just how old this trend is? You’ll be surprised, but there are fossils dating back to 30,000 BC that hint about the earliest fashion authorities walking around in embroidery. 
Its in our blood and genes.





5. Draped - Polo pants have made a come back and so have Patialas. Shyamal and bhumika's latest wedding collection  showcases Polo's and patialas teamed up with Bandhgala's and Blazers  making them stand out from the rest. 






6. Black is Back - Legendary designer JJ Valaya presented a traditional Indian wear collection this time around and completely set it to perfection.


FABRIC
The bi-annual fashion weeks give us a heads up as to what to look out for, what to expect and what to base our future projections on, pertaining to major fashion related trends. These analysis go a long way in deciphering the changes and the direction in which fashion will be unfolding. Keeping the recent Amazone India Fashion Week as our focus, we outline the major fabric trends that are going to make a mark this season.

1. Velvet - Indian designers unanimously roared their approval of the sleek and slinky velvet, in an array of colors for this fall and we are more than taking note. From fall tones like marsala, russet, potter's clay and pine grove to blanketing suit twin - sets, blazers, and sherwanis this look is ultra luxe and shall live on for Fall 2016.For the colder months, the slinky velvet is perfectly apt to cloak your body into as the temperature dips while not compromising on the style quotient and still being in trend!
           

2. Hand woven fabrics - An army of designers sent their troops clad in ensembles stitched in organic cotton, raw silk, silk, crushed silk and the likes. While hand-woven fabrics have always reigned as a backbone on Indian runways, this season saw it being reinvented to suit modern day sensibilities and silhouettes.


3. Jacquards - India cannot be complete without Jacquard fabrics that boast of the essence of our country as a whole. Sabhyasachi Mukharjee has worked his magic again this summer 16’. His collection had kurtas and sherwani’s made out of jacquard for groom’s wear.





4. Crafted Textures - Surface texture and crafted texture are explored and manipulated for AW16/17. 3D form shifts from the sharp precision of the geometric sculpturing and lacy cut outs to a softer crafted quality.





5. Flower Power - Dazzling floral prints are still an important part in 2016 menswear fashion trend. Overall floral prints, floral suits, floral bandhgalas and so on show you elegant gentle looks in addition to the semi-formal dressing-ups.
