As the leaves turn and the air cools, the fashion world ushers in a new season with a fresh set of menswear trends for Fall 2024. This year, the trends are about blending comfort with style, classic with contemporary, and practical with bold statements. From the runways of Paris to the streets of New York, designers are redefining the staples of men's fashion.
Go Gray
This fall, one of the standout trends is the resurgence of gray in men's fashion. This isn't about dull, lifeless shades but rich, textured grays that add depth and sophistication to any outfit. Valentino showcased heavy gray hoodies paired with charcoal trousers and tie-clad button-down shirts, creating a perfect balance of casual and formal. Gucci's single-breasted fuzzy coats, matched with skinny neckties and gloves, are another highlight, making the "groutfit" (gray outfit) a chic option for the season.
Corduroy
Corduroy, the fabric often associated with retro style, is making a big comeback. Designers like Fendi, S.S.Daley, and Neil Barrett are reinventing corduroy pants with wide-wale, split-hem versions, offering a modern twist on this classic material. Whether in the form of trousers, jackets, or even accessories, corduroy is set to be a major player in fall wardrobes.
Layering
Layering is a cornerstone of fall fashion; this season, it's all about combining functionality with aesthetics. Think oversized coats over fitted base layers, chunky knit sweaters under sleek leather jackets, and flannel overshirts paired with hoodies. The key is to mix textures and weights to create visually interesting and comfortable ensembles. This trend isn't just practical for the unpredictable weather but also allows for creativity in styling.
Vintage Coats
Investing in a high-quality coat is essential for Fall 2024, but that doesn't mean you must shop for the latest looks. This season, the focus is on oversized, vintage, statement-making outerwear. Wool overcoats are timeless and perfect for elevating even the most casual outfits. Classic leather, such as a biker jacket or a leather blazer, can be dressed up or down and always makes a statement. Racing and Sports Team jackets are a fun way to bring a bit of color and story to your look, perfect for those days when you just need a light jacket or a colorful layer.
Embracing Texture
Texture is crucial in fall fashion, adding depth and dimension to outfits. This season, the trend is to mix and match different fabrics within a single look. From chunky knits and smooth silks to rugged denim and soft suede, the aim is to create balanced and interesting outfits. This approach not only enhances the visual appeal but also provides practical layering options for varying temperatures.
The Tailoring Revival
Tailoring is back in a big way. While casual styles have dominated in recent years, Fall 2024 sees a resurgence of tailored pieces. This doesn't mean abandoning comfort; it's about incorporating tailored elements into everyday wear. Think well-fitted blazers with jeans, tailored trousers with casual tops, and even suits with a modern twist. The revival of tailoring brings a sense of refinement and structure to men's fashion this season. We recently had custom shirts and slacks made, and the difference from buying off the rack is amazing.
Checks and Plaids
Checks and plaids are perennial favorites; this fall, they're more prominent than ever. Whether in shirts, pants, or outerwear, these patterns add a classic yet contemporary touch to any outfit. Layering different types of checks, such as pairing a plaid shirt with a checkered coat, is a bold way to embrace this trend. Brands like Wax London and Brooks Brothers are showcasing innovative ways to incorporate these patterns into fall wardrobes.
Lapel Pins as Statement Pieces
Adding some "pieces of flair" is a great way to add a personal touch and have a conversation starter. We aren't going all in on men wearing brooches like some fashion writers, but a pin can add a touch of elegance and individuality to outfits. Whether pinned to a lapel or a hat, the right pin can not only change the look of an outfit but also signal your connection to clubs, organizations, and causes.
The Versatility of Turtlenecks
Turtlenecks are a fall staple, but they're getting a makeover this season. Designers are introducing oversized collars and zip-up variations that offer the warmth of a turtleneck without the constricting feel. Found in Hermès and Todd Snyder collections, these updated turtlenecks can be styled in various ways, making them a versatile addition to any wardrobe.
Fall 2024 is shaping into a season where classic styles meet modern innovations. Whether you're drawn to the sophisticated grays, the textural corduroy, or the edgy grunge influences, there's something for every style preference. The key trends emphasize comfort, versatility, and a touch of boldness, ensuring that you'll stay warm and look effortlessly stylish. So, embrace the season with these top menswear trends and make a statement wherever you go.
