And what trends from the past year will cycle out? Is it time to hang up the skinny ties and slim jeans? People are always eager to know all such questions before the advent of every new year. Whoa, hang on. Here at The Answer we strive to achieve style beyond the ebbs and flows of fashion, while also giving knowing nods to trends as they come and go. Fashion victims we are not; style-conscious, we are. We think skinny ties look swell, and not just because Justin Timberlake wears them — though he does so with enviable swagger. Even after Justin Timberlake inevitably ditches them for the next new thing, be it bolo ties or gold chains, we will still think its OK to wear them.;But as Bill Clinton used to proclaim, its all about the economy — and as it dictates the world, so it does fashion: When times are good, mens clothes become more flamboyant and flashy. When theyre tough, we retreat to the most conservative of classics, such as the color gray for everything. Now that the global recovery has taken hold — times are definitely flush here in Asia — the conservative movement in mens fashion most likely will loosen its grip. Even Mark Cho, who owns The Armoury, a small, independent Hong Kong mens retailer that specializes in classic style and carries small luxury brands from England, Japan and Italy, expects a few flourishes to come into the fore next season. Of course, he scoffs at trends. We are antifashion, he says. But color, for one, is on its way in. With the move away from conservative dress, theres a lightness in colors, says Mr. Cho, adding that hes going to stock some colors for the spring: barley-yellow and electric-blue jackets in lightweight wool, for example, a departure from the classic navy and gray jackets that have dominated sales in the past two years.
