What Guys Think About Summer's Biggest Fashion Trends

With only one month left of summer you’ve had a good amount of time to trial all the biggest trends—open-back tops, ruffles, and gingham included.
And while we'll miss summer's trends when they're gone, we’re feeling optimistic about autumn and giving our wardrobes an overhaul.
While you’re getting ready to pack away your summer pieces, we thought it would be fun to ask some men on the street what they thought about the biggest trends of the season (not that it matters what guys think, but you know, #funny). It also gives you an opportunity to reflect on the trends you've been wearing this season—will you still love them this time next year? And will you wear them into next season?
Keep scrolling to read their responses—they might surprise you!
