Men’s fashion 2021: All the color trends that have seen the most on the catwalks and will accompany us through the year
2020 stimulated our desire for versatile, timeless colors that embed us in a feel-good environment and security. The biggest change we can see in 2021 is the increasing urge to surround ourselves with colors that offer us some kind of refuge; Colors that represent hope and optimism and colors that give us energy and keep us mentally active. We also see the use of radiant and calming colors in this year’s men’s fashion.
pastel
Pastel colors give a feeling of openness, softness, calm and serenity. Prada, Jil Sander, Dries van Noten and a few other designers are showing pastel looks from head to toe in their men’s collections for the coming year. We see balanced color mixes and monotonous combinations in soft pastel tones. In time for the blooming spring we can expect to see the first pastel outfits, but they will still be with us into winter.

Ultraviolet
We see purple especially in the autumn / winter collections of men’s fashion – whether jacket, coat or shirt purple is the focus. The color purple stimulates our imagination and spirituality. It is an introspective color that helps us get in touch with our deeper thoughts.
