Men’s fashion has become an increasingly important segment within the fashion and retail industry. With the return to the office, tailoring continues to play an important role in the coming season. Expect suits with a slightly more relaxed silhouette, slim-fit shirts, sometimes with contrasting collars and cuffs, and long wool coats.
However, the expectation is that designers will bring the innovation that customers expect to see in every range with their casual and/or weekend looks. In general, the designs are based on traditional or retro styles, updated with modern materials and accents. Keep an eye out for new interpretations of the #gorpcore and #eclectic grandpa microtrends.
Most menswear shows for FW25 will take place in mid-January 2025. Before buyers, editors and influencers head to Paris and Milan, we take a look at the key items we expect to see on the catwalks.
Tie-and-string jacket
A duffle coat (also colloquially called a toggle coat or duffel) is usually defined as a long wool coat with a hood and wooden toggles, often with a checked or contrasting lining. Although it is associated with British institutions such as the military and academia, the name is derived from the town of Duffel in Belgium.
For fall 2025, the silhouettes remain traditional with only a few variations in closures. As seen with Kolor Fall 2024 and Sacai Fall 2024.
Trench coat
As with women’s fashion, the trench coat has become ubiquitous in many designer collections lately and will continue into fall 2025. Most styles are double breastedfall below the knee and have a belt in the same fabric, with military details such as storm flaps and epaulettes. In addition to the usual cotton canvas, this traditional style can also be expected in other materials such as wool.
As seen at JW Anderson Fall 2024 and Bottega Veneta Fall 2024.
Denim jacket
A denim jacket, characterized by its roomy shape, corduroy collar and cuffs, is enhanced with fresh colors and materials.
As seen at Prada Fall 2024 and Fendi Fall 2024.
Sweaters with collar
Chunky wool and wool blend sweaters are important items for autumn 2025. Call it the preppy effect, but sweaters with collars are particularly trendy, often in a Fair Isle or novelty pattern.
As seen at Loewe Fall 2024 and Lacoste Fall 2024.
Structured cardigan
The structured cardigan is a versatile garment that can be worn over various shirts and sweaters and can be combined with jeans, trousers or sporty trousers.
As seen at Burberry Fall 2024 and White Mountaineering Fall 2024.
Baggy jeans
Baggy jeans with a slouchy fit will replace skinny and straight leg models for fall 2025. Blue denim is the main choice with numerous treatments such as heavy whiskers (horizontal fold lines) and faded washes.
As seen at White Mountaineering Fall 2024 and Isabel Marant Fall 2024.
Dressy cargo pants
Cargo pants will continue into fall 2025, albeit looking less utilitarian. They will be made in soft materials such as corduroy, velor and wool. Expect designers to show them in matching sets.
As seen with Giorgio Armani fall 2024 and Dries Van Noten fall 2024.
Technical trousers
An alternative to sweatpants to combine with other outdoorsy items is technical pants. Fabrics include quilted synthetics and shell nylons.
Seen at Todd Snyder Fall 2024 and K-way Fall 2024.
