The 5 Biggest Amsterdam Fashion Trends Going Global
Five things guys in Amsterdam are wearing right now that the rest of Europe hasn't caught onto yet.
Amsterdam has a way of dressing that everyone is starting to copy. Nothing loud, nothing complicated — just comfortable clothes that happen to look good. Here are the five you'll see all over the city right now, and how to wear them.
Tight trunks are on the way out. Loose woven boxers are more comfortable and they just look better — more grown up, less teenager. The best ones we found are from Son of John. They're made from shirt fabric, which makes them thin but strong, and they come with a warranty. It's a small upgrade that lifts your whole outfit. Their own patterns, and a small logo on the back that finishes them off.
Skinny is done. You want space through the leg and a hem that falls straight over your shoe. Pleats are fine again. Keep the top half simple and it works with almost anything.
A t-shirt with a few buttons at the neck. That's it — and it looks a lot better than a plain tee without you doing anything extra. Leave the top buttons open. Waffle knit in winter, thin cotton the rest of the year.
Chunky trainers are over. Flat ones with a thin sole, in white or gum, are what you'll see everywhere. They go with everything, and they look better once they've been worn in a bit.
Black got boring. Navy top, navy trousers, slightly different shades so it isn't a suit. It looks put together without much thought, which is the whole point.
None of this is complicated and none of it is expensive to try. It's comfortable clothes that look good, which is why it's spreading. Start with number one — it's the one nobody sees coming.
Number one on the list is from Son of John, which ships worldwide.
