Fashions fade, Yves Saint Laurent is eternally quotable. As a discerning and independently minded man, you don’t need us to tell you that true style is personal and not stitched together from a Pinterest board of this season’s collections like a sartorial Frankenstein’s monster.

But there’s still that small, magpie part of you that craves shiny newness, and the external validation of being seen to have your constantly scrolling thumb jammed on the pulse of hashtag menswear. Deep down, we all want to be liked.

With the content of catwalks and stores refreshing almost as fast as a news feed, it’s not always easy to know which trends to nod to and which ones to pretend you haven’t seen by looking down at your phone until they’ve safely passed by (hashtag awkward).

And all the time, FOMO is gnawing away at the back of your mind. Before you know it, you’re leaping on the boilersuit bandwagon with all the careful deliberation of a kamikaze lemming and getting blocked by real and fake friends alike.

Fear (Of Missing Out) not: FashionBeans is on hand to give you a helpful thumbs up and down. This is your (literally) fail-safe guide to spring/summer 2017.

Don’t Wear This: Boxy Suits

Gosha Rubchinskiy put the cat among the unstructured-blazered peacocks at this season’s Pitti Uomo by showing more shoulder pads than an NFL locker room. Under the wing of provocateur and Vetements head designer Demna Gvasalia meanwhile, Balenciaga widened the load such that the models practically had to turn sideways to fit through doors.

The eighties are calling (on a massive brick phone) and they want their power suits back.

Do Wear This: Relaxed Suits

These rigid straitjackets bring to mind Patrick Bateman returning some videotapes when what you should be doing is Netflix-and-chilling.

The genius of Giorgio Armani – the OG of oversized tailoring – was that he spliced suits with the relaxed DNA of a cardigan, and both he and Tomas Maier at Bottega Veneta prove that it’s still a smart move. A (slightly) looser, more casual suit also lends itself to T-shirt and trainers in a very contemporary way.
