The idea of masculinity has shifted throughout time and fashion since the term was defined. Men have long been the stability within structure and security; the ideal rock. Having such a long history of being boxed-in to a style that consists only of sharp, clean, and refined clothing; it's difficult for today's male generation to step outside the lines that preset the ideas of what men's fashion is. With the arrival of a new found freedom in the current fashion world, men have more options to explore who and what they want to be. This Spring 2019 trend is paying homage to the new perspective of what real masculinity is.
