I am not a guy who used to pay attention to clothing fashion because I felt it was expensive and hard to follow those ever changing trends. But I am seeing lot and lot people keeping up well with trend. I feel like I am falling behind and I need to stay up with the trend too.

So how do I stay up with the clothing trends with not spending too much time on it? How do you stay up to date with it?

No offense to the other replies, but I don't feel they're answering your question. While the ideal answer is to be yourself and not chasing trends, many people still want to look nice.

I think one of the perks of being male is that there is so much great style that is considered timeless. I'm not very fashionable, but I try to buy things that won't look dated anytime soon.

I found this article that could be of help to you. It looks at 30 men from different decades that show off classic style, and even many of the older ones, if you borrowed aspects of their looks, you would still be stylish today.

Yes, many of these replies have been unhelpful. Another good piece of advice is to simply buy the fashion magazine at the store and flip through it and look at the photos and kinda take a survey. The magazine will also have article about what’s going to be in style this season and next season. Then there are websites for that same content where they forecast trends and you can go shopping and see the stuff on the shelves. You can either participate in the rat race, or as poster above says, you can buy timeless looking pieces that are less flashy but maybe more dignified.

You can find brands you like and follow them for future inspiration

You can think of men you look up to and see how they dress.

Short answer: GQ, Vogue Men, Esquire
