The 80’s and 90’s are here to stay – we’ve seen a huge influx of 80’s and 90’s trends in the last two years, and it’s not stopping. No, we’re not saying to mimic your dad in those old family photos, but there are some definite takeaways from these dated looks. Structured blazers, light wash jeans, and muted tones are excellent aspects of the 80’s menswear.
Muted oranges, reds and browns are back in the game. With our subscription box, you can easily snag some earthy hues and stay on top of the cutting-edge fashion trends in Kansas City and globally. For a focus on the 90’s try going double denim, or adding an over-sized fabric belt. A dark washed jacket and jeans with a relaxed tee underneath is a perfect reminisce of your youth without being overly grunge. And yes, bomber jackets are here to stay so play it up with a matching sock for that pop of color and compliment.
Color-coded – Another great trend this season is the focus on color. Spring and Summer usually calls for tons of white, but the recent shift towards pink is a breath of fresh air. The blush-pink tone that is everywhere right now has made its debut in Men’s fashion. From Fendi to Valentino and Tom Ford, this warm pink is here, and it is perfect.
Stripes and Plaid – with the burst of 80’s and 90’s fashion at play it has brought with it a heavier focus on stripes and plaids. Heavy, bold vertical strips have been seen across all the major runways, and their festive cousin plaid has been seen in deep muted earthy tones like rusty orange and every shade of brown. This is one of our favorite trends right now due to its versatility. Anyone and everyone can play this one up. From deep earthy bow-ties to striped socks and everything in between we are loving this trend.

Gift cards may be a good choice for a “hard to shop for” significant other, or a stocking stuffer or secondary gift, but gift cards also make it obvious you forgot to purchase a gift (again).

Don’t overbuy or overspend
Try not to shop with your emotions and overbuy out of stress. The next think you know, you’ve bought to many gifts that your significant other won’t use. At Innovative Menswear you are able to choose from a 2-product membership (bow tie/necktie and socks) for only $25.95, or a 3-product membership (bow tie/necktie, underwear and socks) for only 39.95, something your significant other can actually wear, and it doesn’t break the bank.

]]>The first rule of layering clothing: stick with the rule of three. Adding too many layers to a single outfit will make your shoulders and arms feel stiff and very uncomfortable. Too many layers can also make your body look bloated. Just think about two types of shirts (like a v-neck t-shirt or a Henley) and a jacket layered over them. If you want something fancy- you can wear a dress shirt, vest, and jacket.
The second rule of layering: Make sure you are mixing and matching fabrics, textures, and weaves. Textured fabric plays a huge role in men’s clothing if you don’t want your outfit to look plain and dull. Wearing different patterns and textures is a really nice way of making the outfit more exciting. Make sure you wear your most complex patterns as the top layer. Make sure you are mixing and matching your suit fabrics, textures, and weaves, too!
Rule number three: This is kind of a no-brainer but layer your clothing from thin to thick. Remember, bulky on the outside, close-fitting on the inside. This will make it a lot easier to regulate your temperature and gives the outfit a sense of depth. If it becomes warm you can always take layers off.
Rule number four (the fresh twist): A common layer most people forget about is their undergarments! At Innovative Menswear, we believe that the most beautiful things are on the inside and just because your socks and underwear go un-noticed (generally 😊) doesn’t mean they shouldn’t match! The Innovative Menswear professionals, created a membership that allows you to receive new and designer coordinating sets sent to your home each month. You are able to choose from a 2-product membership (bow tie/necktie and socks), or a 3-product membership (bow tie/necktie, underwear, and socks).
As always though, we recommend you just keep it simple, especially when you’re a beginner. You don’t have to create something flashy to look good. Don’t overthink it.

]]>More important, however, is that you have the opportunity to inject a bit of season-specific style into your outfit. Whether it’s the with color, fabric, pattern or simply how you match your tie, underwear and socks together!
It’s time to replenish your wardrobe for autumn with these 4 tips to keep you looking great for your next fall wedding.
The best thing about fall in Kansas City… you don’t have to figure out how to stay cool, so you can actually have a little fun with your suit. Try to add something with a darker color or with a subtle check pattern. That is pretty much the ideal fall suit, and will help you stand out from the crowd of solid blues and greys. But remember, you don’t want to upstage the groom, after all.
With your tie, you want to keep the color palette a bit darker. Think dark blues, burgundies, greens- your basic autumn lineup. You want to make a statement with your tie.
The underwear sets the tone for the day, and the day’s outfit, so your underwear should match your suit! Boxer shorts could work, but you don’t want a huge fabric bulge taking all the attention away from your fabulous attire.
Socks are more courageous these days. While you may not see it one most people, their socks match their tie and underwear! It is a must!
At Innovative Menswear, you can choose matching neckwear, socks and underwear, alone or paired, to match your style and personality. You will get noticed in a good way with this men’s subscription box (they make good gifts, too!).
Sign up for the club today, and get great matching underwear, socks and tie combo shipped right to your door every month. Get started today.
