These trends are sure to pop up everywhere just like they did on the runways.

As the fashion cycle inevitably returns us to a more traditional and discrete wardrobe, the Spring/Summer 2024 designs were dominated by a timeless colour palette of black, white, and beige. On June 25, London, Florence, Milan, and Paris concluded a marathon of men’s fashion presentations, demonstrating a communal devotion to dressing beautifully. The revival of classic pieces like coats, suits, vests, and timeless accessories such as ties, hats, and boutonnières demonstrated a willingness to embrace sartorial perfection. These collections reimagined clothing with rigorous attention to detail and proportion while radiating an effortlessly comfortable attitude. The dominant trend switched from streetwear to workwear, with utilitarian garments embellished with adaptable pockets.

There are various remarkable experiences at the Spring 2024 fashion week in Paris. From Pharrell Williams’ highly anticipated debut at Louis Vuitton to Rhuigi Villaseor’s triumphant return to Rhude after leaving Bally, all of the shows were creatively astounding proposals for men. We saw major themes on the runway that connected with what we’ve seen in womenswear, while others presented an intriguing insight into our fashion future.

Designers are asking us to adopt a more casual and carefree approach to clothes in general, a reminder that fashion is supposed to be worn and enjoyed. Explore the top trends from the Spring 2024 menswear shows below, and be ready to be inspired by the amazing world of male fashion!

ORANGE SHADES

Fluorescent orange colours were used to brighten up the runway displays. Études, located in Paris, made a dramatic statement with a silky-textured trench coat in bright colours. Dries Van Noten took a softer approach, showing a trench in a pastel colorway made from an athletic fabric. Issey Miyake, on the other hand, went for a monochrome style with all-over tone colouring. Chinese sportswear brand, Li-Ning, opted for a head-to-toe ensemble with an eye-catching layer of contrasting khaki that perfectly complemented the neon trend.

FLOWER LAPEL PINS

Flower lapel pins, a sign of elegant grace, were given a modern makeover with the inclusion of various ornamental features. This symbol of dandyism and gentlemanly elegance has been rejuvenated by prestigious fashion firms such as Dior Men, Dolce & Gabbana, and Amiri. This classic ornament was reimagined as a brooch or a fabric blossom. Valentino was astounded with exquisitely embroidered roses adorning their jackets, while Yohji Yamamoto delighted with silver dragonfly embellishments on lapel pins.

SUITS

The conventional suit’s timeless elegance has made a reappearance as a must-have piece in men’s fashion. Many designers went so far as to incorporate the three-piece suit, a traditional icon, into more casual ensembles, sometimes even coupling it with a naked torso. Among those who adopted this style were renowned fashion houses such as Giorgio Armani, Paul Smith, Dries Van Noten, Federico Cina, and others. In addition, suits underwent a reinvention through inventive cuts and constructions, with Botter and Egon Lab taking the lead in this innovative movement.

ROSY PINK

The delicate and gentle tones of light pink were highly popular among fashion designers this season, who took a more casual approach to this pastel tint. Amiri and Valentino expertly incorporated several colours and textures of pink in their creations, integrating matte rose-coloured scarves, woven detailing, and bouclé textures. Paul Smith showcased a meticulously tailored three-piece suit in a subtle and dusky pink hue, while Bulgarian-born designer Kiko Kostadinov presented a fun and playful romper suit in the same pastel shade. Additionally, Kenzo enlivened their tailoring with rosy-pink colourways, adding a vibrant touch to their collection.

GLITTER EVERYWHERE

Luxury fashion brands have presented bold and expressive styles on the runway. This season, Dior Homme displayed intricate decorations and vibrant colours. Dries Van Noten demonstrated that sparkles can be worn more casually, combining a sequined shirt with cargo trousers and sandals. The creative director of Loewe, Jonathan Anderson, showcased a shiny shirt and jeans paired with slippers, and Ami Alexandre Mattiussi added glistening sequins to khaki shades, creating a dazzling effect.
