This year’s men’s fashion trends include big and comfy cuts, western and athletic wear, and the relaxed and natural look.
Here’s a recap from top fashion design houses:
- Big and comfy
While the super-slim suit tops and slacks remain popular, we’re also seeing tops and pants oversized, with wide lapels, including baggy double-breasted suits. Billowy pants are popular and pointed collars on shirts are the look. The idea is to flaunt fabric. Yet for summer, the tight short-shorts are back. - Throwbacks to the 1980s
Men’s popular clothiers, like L.L.Bean, never change the cuts of their shirts, pants and jackets. This is paying dividends for them as they revert to styles of the 1980s simply by changing fabric colors and designs. Ralph Lauren’s polo shirts have never changed, either, so now they are back and popular, as is anything with a big logo on it! New colors: bright orange, lively green and vibrant blue. - Western wear
The tough look is back, with cowboy fashion leading the way. Remember the jean jacket? It’s back. Same with cowboy boots, chaps, snap pockets, fringe, tassels and lots of contrasting stitching. Doubled or tripled denim tops and bottoms are again fashionable. - Classics
Wide-leg, cuffed chino pants, chunky loafers or combat boots, all fashion classics, remain strong for 2024. V-neck sweater vests are back, too. Earth tones and olives never go out of fashion. - Fashionable athletic wear
Thank the pandemic for bringing back sweatshirts and sweatpants, a common outfit while working from home. Now that some workers are back in the office, at least some days, this casual look has gone more upscale. Crewneck sweaters mimic the sweatshirt look while being more appropriate for office wear. - Linen and cotton
Classy beige linen suits, green seersucker suits, pink coral suits, with linen shirts or relaxed cotton shirts are always classy. For the hotter climates, lighter and breathable fabrics keep you cool and stylish. - Bare chests
Suits worn shirtless or at least flashing bare chests are the 2024 look for men (thanks, Lenny Kravitz). Some suits have big gaps or slashes to show off skin. Others have slightly sunken waists to expose bare torsos. - Leather
Leather is back. That includes leather blazers, a belted leather jumpsuit, leather chore jackets, leather trench coats, leather vests and, of course, leather bomber jackets. All can be complemented with a pair of calfskin micro-shorts and a cashmere sweater.
