What is the Manly Petals trend?
Manly Petals: Today’s man is much more open to experimenting with his look: he embraces bright colors, welcomes accessories and adopts prints and patterns. One major print coming to the fore of men’s fashion is florals, which is taking form on everything from blazers to neckties. Willing to display this traditionally female-only pattern on his body, the style-savvy modern man isn’t afraid to let conventional masculine aesthetics and stereotypes restrain his self-expression.
