A NEW DIMENSION OF MEN'S FASHION,

FEATURING THE 4 MOST IMPORTANT TRENDS FOR THE SPRING/SUMMER 2024 SEASON

BACK TO SCHOOL

This year, men's fashion is taking inspiration from the very beginning—from the quintessential boys' school uniform. However, the most important trend of the upcoming spring is not a reinterpretation of the modern attire currently required of young gentlemen, but rather a nod to the key elements of the uniform popular primarily in the United Kingdom during the first half of the 20th century. The main focus is on tailored formal shorts paired with coordinating blazers or elegant sweaters.

On the runways, Dries Van Noten presented an especially interesting take on this trend, opting for ensembles in a warm beige reminiscent of sunlit days, while the brand Paul Smith made striped shorts in fashionable dusty pink, blue, and timeless grey the centerpiece of its collection. Grey, along with classic black-and-white pairings, proved to be the prevailing colours. Classic hues were also chosen by the founder of Ami, Donatella Versace, and the former creative director of the house of Alexander McQueen. And what will you choose?

NEW STUDIO 54

Sequins, glitter, crystals, and lurex threads—until now associated exclusively with women’s fashion—are making their way into menswear this year as well. And it’s not just about designs partially embellished with these elements; this season, the runways of men’s collections have opened a new... Studio 54. What exactly do we mean by this?

The most sparkle appeared at Loewe, where Jonathan Anderson adorned shirts, avant-garde tops, blazers, bags, shoes, and as many as nine pairs of innovative jeans with crystals. Dries Van Noten and Ami have embraced sequins, finishing even the most casual designs with shimmering accents, while Matthieu Blazy, in his collection for the fashion house Bottega Veneta, decorated elegant ensembles with eye-catching lurex thread. There was no shortage of disco-inspired looks at Tom Ford and Gucci either. Peter Hawkings won our hearts with dazzling gold and black suits that sparkled from every angle, while Sabato De Sarno built trust with a look fully covered in shimmering silver embellishments.

GRANDPA CORE

From one extreme to the other, moving from school uniforms to designs inspired by our... grandparents' wardrobes. The look known as "grandpa core," according to experts, will be one of the fundamental trends in the upcoming season. So, without waiting any longer, we’re here to explain exactly what it’s all about.

Runway outfits styled in the manner of our grandfathers mainly focused on tweed constructions, eye-catching knits, and crochet detailing. All these fabrics were featured at Amiri, referencing the nostalgic 50s, by the Italian fashion house Fendi, embodying a more modern approach, and at Giorgio Armani—showcasing the grandpa core trend in the most luxurious way ever seen on the runway. At the Bottega Veneta show, gorgeous, ultra-colorful chunky sweaters reigned supreme, while the Etro collection featured crochet tops and stunning pieces enriched with geometric patterns.

Men’s fashion is becoming bolder year after year, a fact confirmed not only by the trend for sequins and glitter, but also for sensual transparencies. These seemingly ordinary constructions, however, gain distinctive character, as according to the vision of renowned designers, the Spring/Summer season will be all about pieces distinguished either by unconventional silhouettes or eye-catching details. What does this mean?

The pioneers of this trend were Dolce & Gabbana and Saint Laurent. The Italian duo enhanced their styles with floral appliqués and lace, while Anthony Vaccarello focused on decorative draping and a highly striking polka dot print. On the catwalks, designers also eagerly experimented with form and color themselves. At Emporio Armani, for example, innovative semi-transparent jackets, coats and outerwear appeared, whereas Dries Van Noten presented an intriguing take on sheer tops and shirts in browns, purples, burgundies, and charcoals.
