ImageLooking for a change? Men have options when it comes to spring fashions.

While men's fashions change more slowly than women's, some designers like to push the limits as far as possible. Indeed, many of these looks will require a bit of daring to pull off, but adding elements of these trends will keep you on the forefront of fashion. 

Zipperhead
The men's biker jacket gets updated with grommets, zippers and hard-core details that will have all guys feeling tough. Look to Neil Barrett or Salvatore Ferragamo for these looks.

Tuxedo Inspirations
What was once a look suited strictly for black-tie events has found its calling during the day. Dolce & Gabbana and Louis Vuitton created shawl collared suits suitable for day in colors such as gray and cream.

Neon Lights
Just a pop of those bright colors found in women's spring fashions cropped up for men as well. Salvatore Ferragamo added shots of red to vests, ties, sweaters and pocket squares found with gray suits. Paul Smith utilized vibrant shoes as the means to add color to his line.

Sheer Gear
Just like women went for sheer, so too do men. Yohji Yamamoto layered sheer shirts over white T-shirts. Not quite as revealing as women's fashions, but a statement nonetheless.

Too Legit to Quit
Even though MC Hammer had his heyday in the '80s, his sense of style still influences designers who turned to his full, pleated pants from Dior Homme and Jil Sander. Fortunately the full parachute pants look did not return.

Open the Floodgates
It will take a very confident man to pull off the cropped pant looks found at Marni and Commes des Garcons. Some hit just above the ankle, while others find a resting place at mid-calf. Very confident, indeed.

Hef Style
All those pajama parties with Hugh Hefner and the Girls Next Door at the Playboy Mansion have men reaching for the silk pajama racks at stores. Designers such as Prada and Dries van Noten obliged with pieces that will leave men feeling sexy and comfortable. Don't forget your sleeping mask.
