Most people think that men have limited clothing compared to women. And in the summer the list narrows down even more. But it’s not the case now, a lot of new trends and mixed match techniques, and there are multiple other options for men also.

Celebrities and other famous personalities, basically men, are normalizing the unconventional style. You must have spotted your favourite singer or tv star roaming around with peppy colours and absurd designs. If you are brave enough, these quirky designs are suitable for setting up as your style statement.
The creative designers of the latest trends for summers and spring tried some bold designs to connect with society. After two years of the pandemics, the designers have bombed the fashion weeks with the most contrasting options for men. Heeled boots, leather pants, shiny party boy suits, skirts and cutouts are some of those. The designers are trying to keep the clothes out of orthodox gender conventions. The message conveyed was clear. Colours and clothing patterns are not confined to a specific gender anymore.
