Top 50 Fashion Trends for Men in Q1 2009

— April 2, 2009 — Fashion
This micro trend report features the top fashion trends for men in Q1 2009. The report is a crowd-filtered ranking based on TrendHunter.com monthly traffic (several million monthly views) and our fashion for men trend database, which now has more than 3,917 fashion for men trends.

If you are looking for professional fashion trend research and trend clusters, check out our 2009 Trend Reports.

Implications - Modern-day men are no longer afraid to embrace their more feminine sides. There is an increasing interest in the realm of male fashion as the more masculine gender feels able to explore different sides of themselves. Designers could experiment with unconventional styles aimed towards those men who desire expression through their fashion choices.
