Top trends at Men's Fashion Week in Paris

Bare legs were one of the clearest trends at Men's Fashion Week in Paris, which closed on Sunday. This model presents a creation by Louis Vuitton, with leather scuba shorts. The French label was not the only one to include shorts in its show. Business suit jackets were matched with shorts in different collections. Legs - including hairy ones - dominated the catwalks.

For many, the combination epitomizes a style crime committed by the clichéd German tourist. Judging by this week's shows, socks and sandals are back in style: Louis Vuitton sent out nearly 20 models wearing them (picture). The labels Ami, Wooyoungmi and Etudes also featured the trend, in it most dorky variation: sandals with white socks. Designer Haider Ackermann even dared socks and flip flops.

Shorts and tennis socks were only two recurring elements demonstrating that an 1980s sporty look is in. Even designers renowned for their classic lines, such as the French label Hermès, featured jogging suits and hoodies in their new collection. This design by Valentino Menswear is another variation inspired by athletes' style.

Hawaiian shirts also starred on the catwalks of Men's Fashion Week in Paris. Palm trees, exotic flowers and flashy sunsets found their way on several vintage-inspired designs. This model features a creation by Paul Smith.

Bold colors and prints: Japanese fashion label Comme des Garcons added an extra touch of glamour to the trend, presenting glittering red, yellow and purple and golden pink outfits - complete with evening shorts.
