Sparkle, glitter and shine — three things men tend to shy away from when dressing up, but are we headed towards a change?
Men’s fashion that usually comprised black tux, jeans and white shirts has over the last few years been transformed into being more inclusive and flexible in experimenting with several trends that used to be a big No.
From florals to neons, several popular celebrities around the globe and many renowned fashion brands have laid out collections that heavily focused on getting the bling back into mainstream men’s fashion as it was a few decades ago in the 70s — the disco era.
An important factor to the evolving sense of fashion in men is the growing discussion regarding gender fluidity and how we perceive for a man or woman to be dressed. Today, we have male celebrities showing up in sheer tops and sequinned gowns while the women stand tall in a statement tux.
However, wearing a glittery piece of clothing might not always be the first thing a man would opt for since the trend was rather non-existent till a few years ago especially on the local Pakistani fashion scene, hence here are a few ways you can style a sparkly outfit as worn by some very stylish men.
Timothee Chalamet
The modern fashion icon, TimotheeChalamet has been the centre of the attention on every red carpet he’s stepped foot on given his unconventional style. While promoting his movie The King at the London Film Festival, the 23-year-old actor was spotted wearing a bedazzled custom hoodie by Louis Vuitton paired with formal silk pants and black chunky boots.
The look was laid-back while also being super stylish an apt choice for a red carpet on days when you don’t feel like wearing a tux but instead want to make a statement.
For those willing to go all out bling; Tabesh may have just cracked the code. A renowned stylist himself, Tabesh has styled his all black outfit with a shining silver coat — while silver might not always be the first colour choice for many men, this is probably the best way to work the colour and keep it sparkly at the same time.
The head-to-toe black outfit balances the vibrant silver coat giving out a more subtle look as opposed to how it could have looked if styled otherwise.
Harry Styles
International youth icon and one of the biggest pop stars in the world, Harry Styles is again one major celebrity who experiments with his style with every public appearance. From colours to sheer, from florals to punk rock, Harry has always made a statement, spelling out the future of men’s fashion.
For one of his concert look, Harry sported a sparkly Gucci double breasted blazer paired over matching pants. He again styled the bling suit with an unbuttoned black shirt — making his look and his performance a complete rockstar.
