We talk a lot about women’s trends here and on twitter; but the reality is that we do just as much menswear design. So we decided to switch it up a bit, and dedicate this report to menswear trends for fall/winter 2014. Green, brown and orange are  the big colors of the season for men, so designers and manufacturers, take note. We saw shades of green on so many different pieces and looks, which is great because this color can be casual and also looks great dressed up for night.
