Lumbersexual Fashion Trend for Men

There’s a new man trend in town and it’s been catching the attention of the fashion world (and ladies everywhere!) – THE LUMBERSEXUAL. The Lumbersexual is a breakout trend that crosses between “metrosexual” and “lumberjack”. Think a well-groomed beard, styled haircut and apparel/accessories that tend toward outdoor and rugged à la Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman or Joe Manganiello. The Lumbersexual has been spotted on early adopters this brutal winter season and according to MAGIC executives, will continue through next season.

While the term ‘Lumbersexual’ has been buzzing the internet for weeks, MAGIC, the world’s largest bi-annual fashion marketplace, has broken down the Lumbersexual for us and President of Footwear, Leslie Gallin, has shared the top footwear brands to watch for in the coming seasons.

Who is the Lumbersexual?

1.       His Looks

The Lumbersexual dons facial scruff. Whether it’s a full beard or a mustache, you will rarely find the lumbersexual with a clean shaven mug. The scruff gives him instant appeal as laid-back and rugged.

2.       His Wardrobe

A fan of heritage brands, the Lumbersexual is neither sloppy nor polished. He keeps a cool, effortless aesthetic by pairing Levi’s jeans with a flannel shirt, sweaters layered with a vest from Madewell and basic outerwear from Land’s End or L.L. Bean.

3.       His Lifestyle

The Lumbersexual is health conscious and leads an active lifestyle with hikes, bike rides and outdoor runs. He enjoys healthy yet hearty meals and a craft beer or two.

Top 5 Footwear Brands:

1.       Cat Footwear

For the professional Lumbersexual, Cat Footwear is inspired by hard work and the driven life. Modern Lumbersexuals on the move appreciate this innovative brand.

2.       Wolverine

Made for the American worker, Wolverine has had a reputation for durability and comfort since 1883. This brand is sure to be a Lumbersexual favorite because of its wide range of premium products from apparel, footwear and gear.

3.       Woolrich

The eldest of the heritage brands, Woolrich is for the Lumbersexual that loves the classics. Offering a sense of familiarity, quality and value – this is the go-to brand for all Lumbersexuals.

4.       Eastland

For the urban lumbersexual, Eastland has been crafting classic leather footwear since 1955. Eastland is for the man that appreciates excellent craftsmanship along with the finer things in life.

5.       Trask

Known for their use of quality, unique materials, Trask pays special attention to the details to enhance their products. Trask resonates with the globetrotting Lumbersexual, who appreciates the differences, such as if his hide came from bison or elk.

Macy's today announced the official launch of the Thalia Sodi collection, inspired by the internationally recognized singer, songwriter, entrepreneur, author and philanthropist Thalia. The exclusive, new collection includes apparel, shoes and jewelry and is available at 300 Macy's stores nationwide and on macys.com. 

"Macy's new Thalia Sodi collection is our largest introduction yet, launching in multiple categories and offering our customers a coordinated look across apparel, shoes, and jewelry," said Jeff Gennette, president of Macy's. "We have been honored to partner with international superstar Thalia to create a collection inspired by her personal style that will appeal to women everywhere."

The eponymous new line will feature feminine, figure-flattering dresses, tops and pants as well as shoes and accessories. Bold prints, bright colors, sexy silhouettes and glitzy jewelry bring a touch of glam to the line and are staples throughout the collection.

The collection provides great style and fashion for all women, with a special emphasis on design and fit to appeal to and meet the lifestyle needs of the Hispanic consumer. Comprising a large portion of Thalia's fan base, the Hispanic customer makes up one of the fastest-growing consumer segments in America. Based on the brand's in-depth research, the collection was designed to meet the needs of all body types with specific fit attributes and feminine silhouettes in mind.

"I wanted to deliver a collection to my fans that is transitional and fits their dynamic lifestyles - from day to night," said Thalia. "I also wanted to create something that works and fits for women of all styles and sizes - that will make every woman feel beautiful. I'm very excited to be launching my new collection at Macy's and giving my fans the opportunity to wear some of my favorite silhouettes that reflect my own personal style."

"In any business and in any category - be it fashion, music or entertainment - if you have differentiation and can excite the marketplace, and if you cater to your consumer with something fresh and new at the right price, you will win," said Thomas D. Mottola, former chairman and CEO of Sony Music Entertainment. "That is what the new Thalia Sodi Collection is."

The official launch celebration will take place on March 5 at the retailer's flagship Macy's Herald Square with a personal appearance by Thalia. Macy's and Thalia also hosted a media preview event on Tuesday, Jan. 20, 2015, where the collection was previewed during the first-ever Facebook collection launch via a live stream fashion show.
