Let’s delve into the standout men’s fashion trends that have turned heads.

Bootcut Jeans: The Revival We Didn’t See Coming

Just when we thought we’d seen the last of them, bootcut jeans are making a cautious comeback. Spotted on runways and celebrities alike, this silhouette challenges the dominance of skinny and straight-leg styles, offering a nostalgic nod to the past with a contemporary twist.

Kendrick Lamar was quick to jump on this trend, donning a pair of bootcut jeans for his halftime show at the Super Bowl.

Slim-Fit Trousers: Tailoring Takes Center Stage

In a move away from the relaxed fits of previous seasons, slim-fit trousers are reclaiming their place in men’s fashion trends. Emphasising sharp lines and a tailored finish, this trend speaks to those who appreciate precision in their attire.

However, this trend is in stark contrast with the average consumer. Often what appears on the runway is not a reflection of actual societal attitude; in this case, consumers have been vocal for years on how much they detest slim-fit trousers. Whether this trend has what it takes to make its way into our closets is up for debate.

Tailored Minimalism: Less is More

Simplicity reigns supreme amongst men’s fashion trends as designers focus on clean lines and understated elegance. Tailored minimalism strips away the unnecessary, leaving behind pieces that are both timeless and versatile, perfect for the modern man’s wardrobe.

Calvin Klein made a triumphant return to the runway this season after a six-year absence. The man himself attended the show, posing alongside models donned in the brand’s latest, and sleekest, designs, which put tailoring above all else.

Meticulous Craftsmanship: Details That Dazzle

This season, the devil is truly in the details. From intricate stitching to elaborate embellishments, designers are showcasing a level of craftsmanship that elevates garments from mere clothing to wearable art.

Thom Browne brought this to life at his show, with perfectly placed shoulder pads, carefully adorned beads, and hundreds of origami birds in attendance.

Accessories Take Centre Stage: Maximalist Bags

Men’s accessories have taken a major turn in recent years. 

Rather than being a grossly ignored aspect of the runway, they are now a focus with purpose. This year saw major brands across the world take a turn for maximalism, showing large bags with plenty of space for the modern man. 

Prada championed this trend, with its XXL bowling bags carried by each model.
