So we've journeyed through half of 2013 (and a glimpse of what 2014 has to offer), it seems like there's fashion ideas thrown here and there and everywhere. But for menswhere (haha), it is quite safe to bet that these items will continue to be strong for the rest of the year.

ZARA Man May Lookbook 2013

Bomber Jackets 
(Look-At-Me)

The structure of this item in menswear supports the main themes of 2013 very well. It is so versatile as a piece that can be extremely casual or layered with shirts for a more structured look. Bombers with large prints are still in and the bolder the better. One of the most stylish additions by Burberry is the metallic bomber.

Florals
(Darker Paradise)

Flower prints are still blooming. The trend however is shifting focus away from a full and colourful bloom to a darker and more intricate set of florals.

Blue
(Boys)

I love blue and I'm super happy about what has been done with blue. Blue and white, blue and black and an all blue look are excellent choices.

Synthetic
(Kendolls)

Futuristic ideals and synthetic materials make a look very polished and perfect. The materials shine and the themes are of the fascination for science and technology. This style can be mixed up with the old or kept fresh with all new. Sleek is menswear chic.

Loose and Unstructured
(Carefree Sophistication)

As menswear develops, there is more movement away from the traditional rigidities. Unstructured menswear makes a look much more interesting with better texture and with its interactions with the surroundings (wind machine on full capacity please).

Newer, Shinier - JOHN LAWRENCE SULLIVAN SS14

Yanagawa Arashi's label, JOHN LAWRENCE SULLIVAN is an excellent dose of Japanese fashion with a European twist. The collection has so many interesting looks that are so fresh and structured that it captures the best of both world. All the looks are posted here.

I'm excited about all the jackets and blazers in the collection. They're so well put together and the designs are so wearable but at the same time, super interesting. Yes I do love blue and black together and big checks are big ticks for me.

I also like the move away from 'vintage' because I feel that so many labels are just resting on that. Yanagawa's step forward with the bold leather backpacks and the whole shiny plastic looks are great this season. Really liking the black mesh top with red underneath because black and red is also super cool. Great caps also. The shoes were less striking this season compared to its FW range but I'm still very happy about everything :D

Electric Blue
