Who says return of cold means return of clothes in abundance. Next year's key men's fashion trends will unsurprisingly be grunge, preppy or leisurewear. The men's style seen in the fall-winter 2023-2024 collections during the various fashion weeks in Milan, Paris and New York advocated a certain comfort and a return to basics with a renewal of the men's silhouette. The different houses and designers have also dared to venture into new territories borrowed from the women's wardrobe with the omnipresence of the skirt and asymmetry. Between the confirmation of the biker trend, the highlighting of the turtleneck and the layering games, GQ takes a look back in images at the men's fashion trends that will be the stars this fall-winter 2023-2024.
Layering
A key trend for the end of the year, layering consists of layering clothing on clothing. This trend likes the mix of lengths and pieces from different wardrobes: tailoring and streetwear for example as at Dries Van Noten, Louis Vuitton Or Givenchy.
Grunge
Grunge has made a comeback this season and it's Matthew M. Williams at Givenchy who finds himself at the head of the movement accompanied by Rick Owens and the young label EgonLab. Faded denim, worn pieces and excessive layering make this inspiration a key trend for next winter.
Tie the knot
This season the neck is very busy. At the house of Saint Laurent, K-Way And General Pharmacy, we accessorize our look with elegance thanks to an XXL bow that we tie nonchalantly. Enough to give a maximum effect to your silhouette.
Motopapi
Omnipresent among women, the biker trend is taking hold among men. Reinforced leather pants, large motorcycle jacket and racing boots are in the spotlight at Louis Vuitton, Marine Serre And Dsquared2.
Sleeveless
At the house of Dolce & Gabbana, Kick And Louis Gabriel Nouchi, winter is spent without sleeves and too bad for the low temperatures. We advise you to be diligent at the gym to be able to take advantage of it and show off your big arms.
Preppy
A trend anchored in men's fashion for decades, preppy is back in force next season at Amiri, Kenzo And MSGM. Note that it is recommended to accompany it with a beret to reinforce the “first in class and cool” look.
Loungewear
We explained it to you above: next winter, everything is a question of comfort. Zegna, Bianca Saunders And JW Anderson understood it well. The latter even presented silhouettes whose accessories were pillows. Loungewear is oversized pieces with warm materials in which. Worked hoodies, chunky wool sweaters and other jogging pants are among the essentials of this relaxed wardrobe, made for indoors.
Skirt from every angle
It is THE star piece of the fall-winter 2023-2024 collections. The skirt was omnipresent and available in all lengths. Mini at Ludovic de Saint Serninup to the knees at Dior Men and ultra long at Gucci. So, are you ready to give it a try?
Diagonally
Mini top, maxi effect at Dolce & Gabbana, Prada And Courrèges which are inspired by the women's wardrobe to create the asymmetrical top. Whether relaxed or more formal, the shoulder will indeed be bare next winter.
Euphoria
Dries Van Noten, KidSuper And Sacai let their imagination run wild with kaleidoscopic prints. Next winter, the best thing to do is to go for it and go for a total psychedelic look.
purple rain
In 2022, Pantone named Very Peri, a derivative of purple, the color of the year. If the creators had fun adapting it to infinity, it is clear that it also affects 2023, particularly at Emporio Armani, Etro And Homme Plissé Issey Miyake.
Shearling mania
On the outerwear side, the houses have chosen to play the cozy card with the omnipresence of shearling available in a maximalist version as at JW Anderson, Hed Mayner And Kenzo.
Homoeroticism
A leather chaps at Dsquared2a micro slip at Ludovic de Saint Sernina long-sleeved t-shirt with a fishnet effect at Dolce & Gabbana… Next winter homoeroticism is at its peak.
From the height
The turtleneck is the unstoppable asset to face the cold. Very thick and embroidered HermesXXL style at Givenchy or more discreet at Friend. There is something for every taste.
Bordeaux
One of the star colors of next winter: burgundy was omnipresent in a majority of collections. On a suit at Martine Roseon a chic ensemble at Louis Vuitton or in a more relaxed way at Walter Von Beirendonck… Enough to give you ideas!
Bundled up
Long, wraparound coats were everywhere. In a pastel blue Friend in the dark black at Saint Laurent including a sand version at Gucci. Next winter will be warm thanks to these pieces to wear oversized.
XXL collar
At the house of Prada, Wales Bonner or Fursac, the collar takes on maximum proportions. No more hesitation: the pie shovel collar will be everywhere next winter.
Brown
Another of next season's star colors. Brown is particularly available on outerwear at Hermes, Bluemarble or Fendi.
Grrrr
Animal prints were omnipresent in the fall-winter 2023-2024 collections. Often available in colored versions, we have seen them at Bode And Bluemarble. Special mention to Loewe and his coat which resembles a giant dog paw.
Skirt suit
If the skirt is omnipresent in the new collections, it is worn in a new way by layering over a suit as at Prada, Givenchy or Etro.
Cargomania
A new must-have in the men's wardrobe, cargo is also available at Kick, Givenchy Or Martine Rose. This fall, the flared cut, the main characteristic of cargo, can be found on almost all types of pants: from jeans to leather pants, including the iconic suit pants.
Tone on tone
This fall, it's impossible to ignore plain sets and other matching suits: at Louis Vuitton, Louis Gabriel Nouchi Or Martine Rose, the tone on tone extends to all the pieces of the men's wardrobe. Whether it's a trench coat, suit pants, a sweater or even a hat, fashion is now all about one color from head to toe.
Relax (Take It Easy)
For several years, the style leisurewear is establishing itself as a trend in its own right. With the rise of teleworking, pieces made for staying at home, where comfort is the cardinal value, are appearing in most fall collections. At the house of Loewethe top takes on the appearance of a Sunday hoodie, while at JW Anderson, it becomes a full-fledged outfit made entirely of artificial hair. For his part, Saint Laurent transforms the famous cashmere turtleneck which, under the influence of its artistic director Anthony Vaccarello, rises above the head, covering the mouth.
Jumpsuit
In a jumpsuit or full jumpsuit version, the trend of jumpsuit has ended up invading most wardrobes: as much visible in Gucci thatFriend or The mayor.
