The world of men’s fashion has turned a fresh page in the post-pandemic era, and the story continues to evolve in intriguing ways. Men are boldly striding down the runway looks, and the evidence is undeniable. According to Tagwalk, FW2023 treated us to approximately 77 shows, a substantial leap from the 46 shows of 2022. It’s not just more fashion; it’s a cornucopia of trends.
Psychedelic Revolution
Whether it’s an expression of personal freedom through fashion, the desire to stand out, or simply the euphoria of fashion in full bloom, Psychedelic patterns take centre stage this fall. From Dries Van Noten to Dhruv Kapoor, this trend has us soaring high.
The Power of Long Coats
Nothing imbues your look with more drama than a well-tailored, lengthy overcoat. From James Bond to Pablo Pescal, the narrative has evolved, yet the long overcoat remains a cherished staple in every man’s wardrobe. It’s also the piece he’s ever-ready to share with a special lady on a frosty December evening.
Grunge Resurgence
While Gen Z brought back Y2K fashion, millennials are resurrecting the gritty Grunge vibes of the 80s. Think shredded knits, edgy jackets, distressed jeans, and oversized, baggy cardigans—all officially in vogue. Acne Studio and Dsquared2 have fully embraced this trend, while Etro, Givenchy, and Namesake have artfully blended it with other elements.
Reimagined Preppy
The traditional preppy look has been redefined in FW2023, transcending its usual boundaries. Amiri pairs pinstriped shirts with leather pants, Dior models strut in tartan knits over skirts, and Kenzo made a statement with a bright yellow blazer worn over sleek harem pants. Preppy has taken on a fresh twist this season.
Cargo Pants Comeback
The resurgence of Y2K fashion has brought cargo pants back into the limelight, and when Dolce & Gabbana showcases them, it’s a clear sign of their resurgence. Botter offers a sleek and standard cut, while Emporio Armani adds a touch more volume. However, it’s the stylish twenty-something crowd at your favourite hip pub who are truly rocking this revived trend.
Men’s Skirts
With each passing season, the distinction between men’s and women’s fashion continues to blur. Gender fluidity in fashion is becoming increasingly prominent. As a prime example, Brad Pitt confidently sported a skirt at a recent movie premiere. Designers like Alexander McQueen, Etro, and Givenchy, each brought their unique creative interpretation to the concept of men’s skirts. However, it was Dior that truly stood out, offering the most exceptional sartorial looks.
