Look great this season by knowing what''s hot and what''s not. Since pink hit at the fashion shows of Paris and Milan last year, pastel colours for men are still very popular. Bear in mind that lighter summery colours can give traditional cuts a new chic and a splash of the out-of-the-ordinary. Here''s a quick guide.

As well as pinks, beiges and other pastel colours, men should still remember to think about wearing safer, more traditional colours such as caramel, khaki and olive, keeping the look neutral for trousers and shorts. Classic chic is rarely going to be a miss in the fashion department. Traditional black, and the ever elegant white, are also still stylish.

As for shirts and pants, fitted sheer shirts, along with bold, button-down shirts in contrasting patterns are very in style. Wear these in light mauves and blues, to add a softer touch to harder lines. Baggier, and more loose fitting trousers, are a keynote style as well, and look great with the right pair of men''s sandals.

Though it might come as a surprise, many designers have brought short-shorts into their business suits. The style is a ...
... combination of business man and younger boy. It''s popular with designer Salvatore Ferragamo, and is likely to make an impression.

Another statement making look still in fashion from last year is patent leather. Leather jackets for night time wear help you set yourself apart from the more common sporty vibe. A look back to seventies punk rock chic, do this one with caution. You need to make sure you can pull it off.

Accessories are as favoured among fashion designers for men as they are among those for women. Plaid accessories were big for Spring last year, whether you wear it in the item of a belt, shoes or flat cap. Plaid is still in vogue this year, as well as satchel rucksacks.

In terms of trends to avoid this year, just make sure that if you do wear short-suits and patent leather pants, you don''t let them wear you. Above all, it''s about not being a slave to fashion. Pick and choose from the items in style, but choose what flatters you above what appears to you as being the most trendy.
