Men's Fashion Trends 2025: Polos, Pastels, Plaid, and More

Best Men’s Fashion Trends 2024, at a Glance

For the classic dresser, I’m pleased to announce the return of ties. In case you missed it, ties were on the “out” list when it came to formal dressing for the last few years. While my dad would never choose not to wear a tie to a formal event, plenty of Gen Z dressers have yet to learn how to tie one. According to designer brands like Fendi and Givenchy, adding a tie to your look, even if it’s casual, is officially cool again. Yes, dad, you were right.

For the fashion risktaker, the 2024 season provides plenty of opportunities to experiment with your look. Traditionally feminine styles, like draped silk blouses and angular halter tops, are breaking through the men’s fashion space. Traditionally gendered clothing is so yesterday—and designer brands like Hermés, Prada, and Dries Van Noten agree.

All Black

For all the fun we’ve been having in menswear land, we are graduating into something more serious and sober in 2024. The runways show a handful of all-black looks, playing with texture, silhouette, fabrics, and more. This is doubly confirmed for me by the fact that so many male celebs were wearing all black suits on the red carpets this awards season, after a good while of prints, colors, and extravagance.

Ties

For the last five years, wearing a tie was considered uncool. If you stood by your tie collection and continued to wear them to weddings, the office, and date nights, congratulations—you were right all along. Fendi, Givenchy, and Louis Vuitton made their stance clear: Ties are encouraged, even when you wouldn’t expect them to be. Designers paired ties with tunics, fur coats, and ski jackets. But of course, you can wear yours with a classic button-down and call it a day. Long ties, short ties, and patterned ties all made appearances, which means you can build your collection in any way you’d like.

Mesh

Mesh tanks, sweaters, tops, and dresses have been dominating women’s fashion for a year now, so it’s about time the trend meshed its way into menswear. Mesh tops were the focal point in collections from designers like Botter, Amiri, and Etro. The style has an inherently bohemian feel to it but can take on a grungier identity with a little styling. Mesh or finely knit pieces are a great way to add texture and dimension to an outfit—they layer easily and can always take the place of a classic white T-shirt or tank. For styling, consider Botter’s sporty approach with jeans and sneakers or Etro’s laidback look with soft, wide-leg denim.

You could casually wear this tank by the beach or pair it with jeans for a night out.
Halters

When was the last time you wore a halter top? If the answer is never, you’re in for a treat. As an avid halter top wearer, I will let you know that halter tops are a confidence game-changer. They show off your arms, highlight the outer edge of your collarbone, and are a little flirty and unexpected—especially in menswear. Fendi provided a utilitarian example of how a halter top could be styled while Denzil Patrick created a preppy business look. Meanwhile, Dolce & Gabbana layered a halter vest to elevate an otherwise minimalist look.

If you’re not ready to make such a bold fashion statement, fake it until you make it. A racerback tank top gives off a similar vibe as a halter, but at the same time, is a small twist on a wardrobe staple, which will make it even easier to work into your everyday outfits.
Utility Vests

Gorpcore, the outdoor-sport-meets-hype-beast aesthetic, has cast a new line into the fashion sphere. Brands like Prada have pulled inspiration from the outdoors by incorporating fishing vests—and other utility vests—into runway looks. If you want to drop major cash on a designer iteration of the trend, go right ahead, but I’d suggest hitting up your local sporting goods store for a more affordable (and functional) version of the item. This trend is great, because it exponentially increases the number of pockets on your outfit—and might even encourage you to take up a new hobby.
