As summer fades, autumn steps in with one of the most exciting wardrobes of the year. Runways, magazines, and social feeds are already shaping what men will be wearing, and these are the key trends worth investing in right now.
Thermals as Outerwear
Forget just functional — thermals are back as a visible style move. Slim fits layered under T-shirts bring a ’90s edge while adding texture and warmth.
Style Picks: RRL for rugged workwear, Buck Mason for modern cuts, or Uniqlo for affordable waffle knits.
The Henley Revival
Henleys are everywhere, combining vintage utility with effortless layering. Worn buttoned-up or cheekily undone, they add subtle detail and character.
Style Picks: RRL, Buck Mason, or Zara for budget-friendly versions.
Sweater Vests & V-Necks
Once dismissed, sweater vests and V-neck knits now feel fashion-forward. Layer them over tees or under coats for versatility.
Style Picks: Marni for high fashion, Weekday for affordable cotton, or MF Pen for textured V-necks.
Flannels & Leather Jackets
Two classics are dominating again. Checks inject colour and grunge nostalgia, while leather jackets remain the ultimate power piece.
Style Picks: Our Legacy for premium flannels, AllSaints for reliable leather, or Acne Studios if you’re investing big.
Cardigans & Beanies
Crew-neck cardigans add subtle sophistication (try Bode or Suitsupply), while cuffless beanies — led by Arc’teryx — are quickly becoming a streetwear staple.
Wide-Leg Sweatpants & Hiking Boots
Comfort meets statement dressing. Wide sweatpants are styled with everything from boots to tailored coats, while hiking boots (like Dr. Martens Rocky Avett) are cementing their spot as autumn’s must-have footwear.
Trends on the Horizon
Expect bootcut jeans, shades of brown, coloured caps, and even slim jeans to re-emerge. The key? Pick the trends that fit your style and leave the rest.
