Spring is officially here! From staples like fragrances to wardrobe staples like spring coats, we’ve highlighted several essentials men should own this season. And now, to attract a wider audience, we dive into the menswear trends for spring, with a respectful nod to the past. From the fierce revival of animal prints to the bold embrace of metallic accents, this season promises to be a playground of style experimentation and boundary-pushing aesthetics.
Here are the dandy fashion trends for mnl to try this spring…
#1. Animal prints
Who still thinks that animal prints are only for ladies? Certainly not menswear designers for spring/summer 2024, as they have chosen to embrace the wild side with their impressive line-up. From snake to tiger, leopard to zebra prints: these striking patterns take center stage. Brands such as Jil Sander and Saint Laurent present snakeskin and leopard print jackets, adding a touch of spice to the men’s wardrobe.
#2. The revival of shorts
Driven by the goal of changing the perception of masculinity with changing fashion preferences and a desire for more daring and expressive styles, designers and brands such as Prada, Martine Rose and Christopher Shannon are leading the way with ultra shorts. These shorts have been around since the 1970s and 1980s and have an inseam of less than four inches. Now they’re back with more edginess and a fresh take on warm-weather clothing.
#3. Studio 54 revival
Designers draw inspiration from this era but with a contemporary twist, channeling the spirit of Studio 54 with sequined embellishments and retro-futuristic styles. From stunning shirts to sequined blazers, this spring fashion trend for men brings a disco vibe to modern menswear. Velvet, satin and silk are sure to add a touch of opulence to your outfit. And to complete the look, there are wide-leg trousers in statement prints or luxurious fabrics.
#4. Oversized double-breasted jackets
Double-breasted jackets are making a statement with oversized and loose fits in spring 2024. Brands like Gucci and Ralph Lauren have reinvented this classic piece, creating loose and open silhouettes that exude sophistication and style.
#5. Wide shorts
While mini shorts remain popular, longer and looser versions are gaining popularity during spring break. Designers are pairing oversized, breezy blazers with knee-high shorts, for a relaxed, casual yet stylish look this season.
#6. Crochet craze
Haken is having a moment in men’s fashion, with nice jackets, beach tops and striking clothing for warm weather. From luxury labels to fast fashion brands, crochet pieces are becoming an indispensable part of wardrobes. This technique extends to intricate lace tops and fisherman-inspired jackets, which add a unique and stylish twist to spring and summer outfits.
#7. Street style essentials
Embrace street style essentials like knitted tanks, bandanas and matching sets for a casual yet trendy look. Simple outfits paired with running shoes and team jerseys are key elements in achieving effortless style.
#8. Grandpa core style
The ‘grandpa core’ aesthetic is making waves in 2024 and includes sweaters, colored cardigans, high-waisted trousers and easy loafers. This cozy yet relaxed look is championed by celebrities like A$AP Rocky And Tyler the Creator, which adds a nostalgic touch to modern fashion. In addition to clothing, this trend also extends to home goods, with vintage-inspired pieces taking the spotlight.
#9. Metallic accents
Give your wardrobe a heavenly upgrade with metallic items that radiate a princely-futuristic atmosphere. Designers like Eli Russell Linnetz are leading the way with collections immersed in metallic hues, offering a transformative and striking element to outfits. Silver elements from brands such as Hed Mayner and Marine Serre introduce a touch of heavenly flair to men’s fashion.
#10. Thrift and sustainability
As sustainability gains momentum, thrifting is becoming a major trend among woke Gen Z and young millennials. People are leaving traditional retail behind and opting for second-hand treasures with character and a unique vintage style. This trend not only benefits the planet, but also allows for the creation of distinctive and environmentally conscious outfits.
