Sparkle intensifies, and tailoring reaches new levels of precision—here are the major style trends witnessed at the just-wrapped men's fall/winter 2024 fashion weeks.
Get ready to elevate your autumn style game, because the upcoming season is all about effortless updates and timeless pieces you likely already have in your closet. Forget the fashion frenzy; it's about clever styling—think a pop of red or a sharp white shirt—to keep your look on point. Leather, glitter, and a well-tailored blazer are non-negotiables for the fashion-forward. Embrace the nostalgia by resurrecting that old cardigan or rediscovering knitwear tucked away in the dark corners of your wardrobe. Without further ado, let's dive into the essential elements for your next season's wardrobe rotation.
Glitter
While the men's fashion spotlight might be shifting, a glitzy trend refuses to fade away. In the Fall/Winter 2024 presentations, numerous labels showcased a penchant for sparkle and shine on the runways. Take, for instance, Gucci's bold move with a dazzling full-force glitter tank top, or Dolce & Gabbana's sequin-adorned suits and tops. Fendi made a statement with models strutting in glitter-woven suits, while Valentino infused everyday essentials with disco-ready elements. The allure of shimmer is undeniably holding its ground in men's style.
Grandpacore
Known as "grandpa-core" across TikTok, Twitter, and the digital sphere, this style embraces elements like sweater vests, vibrant cardigans, high-waisted trousers cinched with belts, and classic loafers— all prominently featured on this season's runways. While coloured knitwear usually takes center stage, numerous brands embraced neutrals this season, skillfully layering beiges, browns, and whites to craft snug and unified ensembles.
Pockets
In the realm of contemporary men's fashion, practicality reigns supreme, and the utilitarian style emerges as the perfect conduit. Enter the ever-enduring cargo pants— a steadfast choice for the modern man's everyday ensemble. This season, the trend extends its reach, introducing cargo skirts and cargo jeans, transforming everyday attire. Pockets become a focal point, making their presence felt from jacket fronts to trousers. Designers seize the opportunity to play with scale, showcasing oversized pockets stealing the spotlight on JW Anderson trousers and a diverse array of quilted cargo pockets gracing S.S. Daley jackets.
Faux fur
If you’re curious to know which fall/winter fashion trend is getting the most love at the men’s fashion weeks, we’re here to let you know that the divinely glamourous faux-fur coat has been the main highlight on the runways. No matter how much time passes, the fashion experts can’t seem to resist the allure of a fluffy collar, dramatic sleeves, especially the ‘70s-inspired designs as seen at Louis Vuitton, Kenzo and Givenchy.
Leather
The abundance of leather on this season's runways wasn't unexpected, considering the renowned leather craftsmanship of many participating fashion houses. However, the prevalence of polished leather looks took many by surprise. From subtly sheened as seen at Hermès to patent leather perfection at Dries Van Noten, this season showcased a diverse range of leather styles.
