I’m predicting an exciting 2012 with the return of colour to men’s clothing after several black, white and grey seasons. Bright colours have taken over the sock business and socks will only get wilder.

Printed shirts will make a comeback and casual blazers over jeans will be an even stronger look in the coming year. Jeans won’t be skinny, but they won’t be baggy; they’ll be straight and dark blue. Technical fabrics will continue to become part of everyday clothing.
