Drab Half-Formal Menswear

Robin Ahrens Dons Trousers and Trainers in Wonderland

Model Robin Ahrens rocks a mix of tailored menswear and modern casual fashion for Trousers and Trainers in Wonderland magazine. John Balsom photographed the editorial, which was styled by Wonderland fashion editor Way Perry.

Perry's selections channel the half-formal theme we identified here at Trend Hunter in prior seasons. Tailored trousers are paired with open-toe sandals in one image; in another, a neat black blazer is paired with a long knitted sweater tunic. The half-formal theme also extends to individual pieces; in the seventh image, Ahrens wears a blazer that has a traditional lapel on one side and a fur-trimmed lapel on the other.

Trousers and Trainers in Wonderland magazine blends casual modern menswear and traditional formal fashion in a fresh, new way.
Trend Themes
1. Half-formal Fashion - The blending of casual modern menswear and traditional formal fashion opens up opportunities for innovative designs and styles.
2. Mixing Tailored and Casual - The combination of tailored trousers with casual footwear and knitted sweater tunics presents a disruptive innovation opportunity in the fashion industry.
3. Dual-lapel Blazers - The introduction of blazers with dual lapels, such as a traditional lapel on one side and a fur-trimmed lapel on the other, offers a unique and distinctive twist to men's fashion.
Industry Implications
1. Fashion - The fashion industry can explore the concept of half-formal fashion and experiment with combining tailored and casual elements to create innovative designs.
2. Footwear - The footwear industry can tap into the trend of pairing tailored trousers with open-toe sandals, potentially creating new hybrid shoe styles that blend formal and casual aesthetics.
3. Knitwear - The knitwear industry can explore the opportunity to design long sweater tunics that can be paired with blazers for a unique half-formal look.
