This week, FashionUnited readers get an exclusive look at three fast-fashion print directions that will be making a splash on the SS20 menswear scene. A streetwear aesthetic underpins the season's print motifs as cityscapes and graffiti refresh tropical prints in Hawaiian Surf Club and a sporty colour palette urbanises global inspirations in Digital Tribes. Typo-Patterns sees statement messages transformed into optical illusions through abstract placement and unexpected distortion.

Typo-Patterns

All-over typography takes on a more streetwear influence for SS20 with urban-infused graphics sending new messages. Hidden slogans, reverted and rotated text, create optical pattern movements with image layering providing further distortion. Minimal colour usage and monochrome pallets lend added impact to statement prints.

Digital Tribes

Traditional tribal imagery is reinvented for SS20 with clean and contemporary digital executions. A maximalist approach sees heavy paint applications, abstracted mask motifs applied as large-scale all-over prints. Striking graphic outlines and a sports-inspired colour palette reinvent tribal themes for the modern man.

Hawaiian Surf Club

The ongoing tropical trend hits the beaches of California with a new street surfer attitude for SS20. Colours are hyper-energised as palm tree, hibiscus and beach motifs are mixed with city skylines, flaming graphics and graffiti art for a high-summer urban flavour.
