Fall’s most fashionable menswear: a guide to trends and 15 examples – from pants to jackets

Autumn is a much more complicated period for men in terms of clothing than summer. If in the warm season you don’t need to worry much: the combination of shorts and a T-shirt is a win-win, then with the onset of cold weather the closet becomes more complicated. Now you need to combine more things, and often it is not clear – what exactly and how. Let’s try to understand each of the questions together with the experts.

“If you have to single out one of the most important fall trends, I would call layering. Some people love this season precisely for the opportunity to mix and match closet items, giving freedom to their imagination.

The perfect embodiment of this trend: a jacket or denim (leather) jacket worn under a blown coat (vest) or a raincoat. Here it is important to remember that layering is not always about baggy oversize clothes. Using this principle, you can also create a classic image. What will it consist of? For example, we will take a three-piece pantsuit, wear a turtleneck under the vest, and put a coat or trench coat on top of the jacket.

It remains to be seen which ones we will mix.

Fall-2023 trends

Fashion is, as it may seem, a world of a few immutable rules. If you decide to look stylish always and everywhere, they must be observed. The main difficulty is that every year fashion trends and tendencies change, which makes millions of people run to the stores for new clothes.

Some seven years ago, tight ripped jeans were normal, you can say – ubiquitous. And now this can afford only representatives of subcultures. It should be understood that seven years is an eternity for the world of fashion. Even for a year a lot can change, so all the new trends should be monitored constantly. Of course, if the fact of being on the crest of the fashion wave is important to you.

“The basis of a closet is first of all basic things. With them you can create a lot of practical images. It is convenient to use the following rules: choose laconic things of basic colors that match each other, add a few bright or trendy accents and use the rule “Three tops and one bottom”. So what base will be most relevant this fall and what’s on the sharp-trend list?”

Knitwear and hoodies

It’s hard to imagine fall everyday life without warm knitted, knitted, wool or even cashmere sweaters or sweaters. These things are an integral part of the demi-seasonal closet. And for those who are not afraid to take risks or just want to dilute the image, there is an acutely trendy solution – logomania. There can also be a variety of prints: from floral patterns to stripes and checks (tartans).

Pants

Pants are an essential part of a man’s closet for any season and occasion. For the office, of course, it’s better to choose classic options, but they can also be casual and sport-glam styles.

Anastasia Tekucheva: “It is worth paying attention to the addition of wool in the composition of the fabric. This will make the image cozy, and you will be more comfortable during walks in cold autumn evenings”.

Jeans

Jeans are an essential item in everyone’s closet regardless of gender or age. They are so versatile that they can be combined both with a jacket for a more business-like style and with a hoodie for a relaxed and comfortable look. Small scuffs, raw edge, washed jeans can and should definitely be in your arsenal.

Pantsuit

Until recently, a pantsuit was considered to be a closet item for men who preferred business style. But with the development of street style, it has become the norm to mix a variety of fashion trends. Now on the street more and more often you can meet people in pantsuits. And the most diverse styles and non-trivial colors. Often they are interestingly stylized, combining them with shoes, which ten years ago no one would have dared to wear with such a suit. Of course, we are talking about sneakers and sneakers.

Coats, raincoats and trench coats

The Fall-Winter 2023/2024 season is rich in a variety of coats. Everyone will be able to find something to suit their taste. If you are uncomfortable with the fitted classics, take a free cut overcoat in the style of “oversize”. This model will allow you to create a trendy layered look.

Coats and trench coats are the trendy masthead of the season. Colors: beige, khaki, blue, gray (graphite) and black. There are a lot of variations on the theme of combinations of these things: both strict suits and jeans with hoodies are suitable. Everything depends on the occasion. Trench can be used for any closet occasion and mixed with a variety of things.

Anastasia Tekucheva: “Especially relevant this season will be a “Havelock” trench coat with patch pockets”.

Bomber

An undeniable trend in men’s closet is the bomber. Don’t be afraid to experiment with colors, materials and decorative elements. Bomber made of dark green or dark blue satin in the style of “aviator” is a timeless classic.

By the way, eco-leather does not leave the fashion pedestal for the last season. If the bomber is the second or third thing in your closet, you can stop at this variant of fabric.

Sheepskin

Will you say that sheepskin coats are outdated? Not at all. Everyone knows that fashion is cyclical, and this season it got to sheepskin coats. Now they are the ideal outerwear option for late fall and cold winter.

Anastasia Tekucheva: “Long classic variants of men’s sheepskin coats will be in trend. Don’t be afraid to combine them with sweaters, turtlenecks and even sweatshirts”.

Fall-2023 shoe trends

As for footwear, everything is more or less stable. Sneakers are still on the wave. World-famous sports brands continue to stamp new and new models in colors for every taste. Everyone will find something to his liking. The main thing is to be able to choose the right top for them. Another thing that ugly shoes (“ugly sneakers”), relevant until recently, completely lost their position. Now the trend is rather minimalistic sneakers and retromodels.

What if you’re looking for a classic shoe? Lacquered boots or loafers are still on trend, as well as shoes that are timeless classics. It’s just important to pick a nice silhouette that won’t take away from the look.

About trend accessories

Anastasia Tekucheva: “Sometimes the simplest basic image can be improved with a bright and stylish accessory. And it is not only about shoes: voluminous scarves, caps and gloves have not only a warming function, but also add style to the image.

The finishing touch is a bag. This accessory has been popular for the last few years, and it’s not just about bags. Backpacks, business shoulder bags (“letter carriers”) and belt models, which are a favorite of many people, are relevant.

Sunglasses or a watch will also help to complete the image. As for the first one, everything is individual. Choosing a frame is a responsible moment, because you can never guess which one will suit you. And if we are talking about a more or less parade image, you can remember about the tie. But it is important to match the color of the shirt to look stylish. There is also a rule: the tone of the tie should be a little lighter than the color of the suit.

Anastasia Tekucheva: “We should not forget that style is first of all about the worldview and the manifestation of individuality. First of all, focus on yourself and your comfort. All fashion tips and trends pass through the prism of personal settings. They will help you create a more relevant image, but it should be based on your individuality.

What is the right way to combine things?

Let’s start with outerwear. Take a long coat or jacket for classic looks with pants. For casual with jeans – a bomber.

What do we choose as an intermediate insulation? A sweater with a round neckline, which can be worn separately or in a set with a white T-shirt and shirt. A monochrome turtleneck and a voluminous sweater with a high neck. For the fall season, warm models with braids made of natural cotton or wool are ideal.

Choose a sweatshirt or hoodie as a sporty base. Here you can let your imagination run wild and choose models with bright prints. This detail of the closet gives you room for experimentation.

Elena Nikitina: “In the closet for fall should be a laconic shirt of classic cut (white or blue) for the office and important meetings and a relaxed cut shirt in plaid or denim style.

The most common fashion mistakes

Now we are offered a huge number of styles, fashion houses dictate trends, showing us what models to wear. But it is important to be able to read them, to understand the current styles, to navigate in long-lasting trends and those that will be relevant only one season. For example, vests are very topical now. However, the style is important: a thin vest is suitable only as an insulating layer under a coat or jacket. For independent outfits, choose voluminous vests.

When choosing jeans, consider two main parameters: color and fit. It’s best to go for navy blue denim without scuffs in a straight cut. Avoid too torn models and skinny styles – it cheapens the image, it is better to give preference to classic options.

Common mistakes when choosing a T-shirt: too narrow tight or, conversely, hypertrophied voluminous. It is better to choose models of free straight cut, which can be worn separately and added to images with a jacket, cardigan or shirt.

Anastasia Tekucheva: “What colors should I choose? Dark green, ochre, bright red are in trend now. Such shades can be safely added to the closet. Also relevant is noble beige. They will not lose their relevance in a few years. But the trend for pink has already died down. We got tired of it very quickly.
