The Best Trends of Men’s Fashion Week & How to Wear Them, Dries Van Noten FW 24 Brings the Runway to Reality

The creativity of the runway can often leave us with a sense of loss on how to translate forward shapes, colors and theming into our daily lives. That’s why the Dries Van Noten FW 24 show is a favorite of Personal Stylist Meg Gallagher. Dries Van Noten focused their collection on sophisticated, subtle tailored looks; a nice reprieve from the logo mania, overt art pieces and huge silhouettes we’ve seen dominating the runway in seasons past. While critics may brand the show as “safe”, the flattering silhouettes and applicable neutral color palette gives easy-to-follow directional pull much welcomed by personal stylists and practical fashion connoisseurs alike. We’re loving the trend of realism on the runway for it’s “anti-trend” closet sustainability, applicability to office work, formal & non-creative spaces and the focus on day-to-day flattery over statement pieces.

Breaking Down the Men’s Fall Winter 2024 Trends: It’s All About the Top Layer

The most definitive part of the Dries Van Noten Men’s show is the emphasis on clean, updated classic top layers and coats that set the tone for the entire outfit. We’re taking a deep dive into coat and top layer pieces that will define men’s fall winter 2024 trends.

Top Layer Trends at a Glance: Peacoats, across-buckle coats, mandarin collars, funnel necks, thin coats, evening suits with lean silhouettes, simplistic neutrals and non-distracting patterns.
We’re seeing these looks paired with shaggy scarves, leather accent pieces, denim accent pieces, jersey trousers and sleek cargo pants (a refreshingly streamlined take on more familiar 90’s chunky-pocket cargo pants).

Iconic peacoats, slim minimalist lapel coats and airy funnel neck rain coats are an ode to the classics, making trustworthy and flattering wardrobe staples for winter and transitional seasons.

Shop Men’s Classic Coat Trends:

Blanket-like coats and sweaters, shiny leather trenchcoats and screen printed coats were seen adding subtle texture on the runway.

Shop Men’s Textural Coat Trends:

Zipper embellished coats and sweaters, fur trim and belted coats added interest and subtle flair to neutral ensembles on the runway.

Shop Men’s Embellished Coat Trends:

Slim tailored blazers, relaxed thin blazers with the collar popped, laid-back denim blazers and distressed blazers were seen adding a duality between tailored and relaxed silhouettes.

Shop Men’s Blazer & Blazer Coat Trends:

Mandarin collars and funnel neck coats with across-buckles are a familiar ode to early 2010s coat trends.

What to Wear When Skiing

The biggest rule for 2024? Note the Color.
We like to think of what to pack for a ski trip the same way we think of swimwear and eventwear, like dresses and statement suits. There are some important factors to consider, which come in the form of three questions: Is it flattering? Do I feel confident in this? Can I wear it again? 
Wearing black, white or neutral pieces can serve as an easy wear that won’t feel stale after one use. While this may sound too safe or boring to some, you could opt to make a neutral color outfit still feel fabulous by selecting pieces with subtle accents or unique details, like a fur trimmed hood or textural rib knits.

Trending Aprés Ski Outfit Ideas For Women

-Texturizing with fur, cashmere, rib knits and shearling or puffer jackets against a neutral color palette.
-Fair Isle Sweaters.
-Cozy oversized “college kid” club memorabilia sweaters.
-Incorporating ponchos into your layering. (shop the trends at the end of the article!)

How to Dress for Skiing

A Rise in the One Piece Ski Suit, 2024’s Default Snow Outfit…

There are a lot of reasons why you might want to default to this classic ski look. One piece suits are both stylish, and incredibly practical (in more ways than one!). Here’s what wins this popular skiwear piece as the title of “Most Practical”:

–There are no gaps. Unlike your separates, a one piece blocks any and all air that would otherwise come through your two piece looks. If you were to ever take a tumble on the slopes, there’s no chance during your fall that any snow will get inbetween your clothes, altogether avoiding the potential of exposing your skin to the cold.
–You’ll have less pieces to pack. All the guesswork is taken out of what top pairs with what bottom!

How do you go about choosing a ski suit?
There are a few main components to choosing a great onepiece.
First, identify how your body is highlighted by the suit. While a snow suit may initially seem unforgiving, there are some differences in cut, color and pattern that can change the game between pieces. 

How to Dress for Skiing

For Men, Utilize Shapes and Color Blocking.
Want to take attention away from your middle? Use color, belting and patterns to draw the eye where you want it to go. Try a look like this color block snow suit, which brings the eye up to your shoulders and face. 

For Women, Note The Waist.
To Deemphasize the Waist & Leg Lengthening:
Use color to emphasize long lines and leg lengthening, which helps to skim over your midsection!  This can work great for anyone who wants to look taller, deemphasize their midriff, or create more balance with their bodytype.
V-shape midriffs can also break up the midsection, creating a flattering illusion that cinches the waist and brings curve to the hips.

To Highlight the waist, utilize belts to cinch your shape:
A lot of snow suits feature a belt in the middle, which cinches the waist and gives the piece some shape! Pay close attention to how high or low this cinched section is. If you’re a pear shape or hourglass, you’ll especially want a suit that belts at the smallest part of your waist! 

Want to go full on bold?
A ski suit in one bright, flatting color could serve as a thematic look for your trip! Much like the yellow rain coats expected at every rainfall, or a superhero’s iconic costume worn on every adventure – you’ll look back fondly at photos of the fabulous ski suit you donned in winter of 2024, excitedly preparing for the next ski trip in which you’ll pull it out again and again.

Take it a step further with patterned ski suits! First, make sure to match your ski boots back to the pattern by identifying base colors and highlight colors in the pattern. For suit longevity, we love timeless patterns like animal print, houndstooth or stripes.

This summer to fall transitional outfit idea for men takes ALL the guesswork out of getting dressed! A lightweight linen shirt or jacket with matching linen pull on or trouser pants is 2023’s casual suit replacement. The monochrome look feels modern and directional, allowing for this ensemble to be as much a great date night look as it is a go-to outfit for Fridays in the office. Check out our favorite ways to dress up and dress down the most versatile linen co-ords and color matching separates for an impressive statement look this year.

Leaning into Fall, Without Feeling “Sweaty”

Mid-August through October can be difficult to navigate when it comes to Fall dressing. Fall clothing is introduced in-store before the weather can catch up; And while you might want to switch your wardrobe to an autumn palette by Labor Day, shopping heavier fabrics might end up costing you in sweat. That’s why we love inserting Fall color via light layers to really lean into that “autumnal vibe” within our linen ensembles. This savvy shopping method not only gives you the opportunity to save $$$ (“summer” linen is always discounted by Labor Day), but it also defines a seasonally appropriate transition without the annoyance of the heavier fabrics sold in-store. See how these all-linen ensembles interject autumnal colors to define the outfit: Goldenrod, Rust, Chocolate and Black.

If you want to insert directional summer to fall styles into your wardrobe for work, weddings, date nights and more – Personal Stylist Los Angeles Meg Gallagher can help you build your 2023 style, offering personal shopping tailored to your lifestyle and needs! You can check out her 2023 Men’s Summer Styling Services here.

The Casual Two Piece Linen Look

Sometimes, you go to places that require a little more than a tee and shorts, but you don’t want a look that screams “dressy”. To downplay your linen co-ords and linen separates, pair them back to sneakers, sandals, espadrilles or slides. We love this easygoing summer to fall style look for beachside bars, resorts brunch and casual weekend outings.

The Two Piece Linen Date Night Look

For nights out with friends, beachside wedding guest attire and hot weather date nights alike – You want an outfit that is smart, elevated and celebratory. We love flattering colors like Mallard Blue, Salmon or Navy to exude confidence and fun without coming across as too “out there”. For weddings pair this look with loafers to keep your outfit classy head to toe. For date night, try boots for a fashion-forward edge.

The Casual Suit Workwear Replacement

With post-covid styles at the helm of an entire culture shift in officewear, casual days at the office may look a little different. Comfortable, relaxed pieces are replacing the restrictive structure of the pre-covid office wardrobe. A linen two piece with a tailored silhouette is a worthy replacement to the casual suit. Stick to deeper colors like navy and black, and pair with loafers, oxfords or leather sneakers in casual spaces.

How to Layer With the Linen Two Piece & Ways to Switch Up the Look

The best thing about the linen co-ord and two piece trend is that it can serve as a closet staple without becoming boring.
1. Get more wear out of this look by switching it up with layering! Layering with a tank top or tee shirt underneath creates added depth to your outfit. This extra layer could be in classic white, a complimentary color to your linen two-piece, or even striped to add pattern to your outfit.
2. Another way to riff off of the monochrome linen two-piece look is altering the style of pants or top to match your needs. For instance, if your outing is ultra-casual, consider a two piece linen look with shorts rather than pull-on pants. If you’re dressing for work, you could also consider swapping a traditional linen shirt style for a linen blazer.
3. Mix and match. If you have several linen two piece sets, you can mix and match the pieces for linen on linen rather than a strictly monochrome fit.

Well, it turns out his day-to-day style is a lot easier to master. Like, a lot easier. So easy in fact, that by the end of this article you’ll have the exact pieces and outfit formulas to look like the biggest star in Hollywood even when you’re headed to the supermarket!

Mastering Ryan’s Casual Style

The Plain White Tee

Ryan’s simple yet effective roll-edge tee is a masterfully understated statement piece that serves as a base layer for his most iconic streetwear outfits.

The Denim Jacket

Perhaps the most iconic of Ryan’s street style formula is his Denim Jacket outfit. An easy roll neck or relaxed tee, selvedge jeans, lace up boots, and accessories like a simple ball cap, long necklace and raybans or aviators.

Another alternative? Swap the tee shirt for a classic marled henley.

We’ve got it right here – your very own simplified guide on how to wear sneakers with your suit. You may have wondered, Can you get away with it? The answer is yes, but it’s all about balance. We’ve combed through the nuances of modern suiting to give you our easy to follow 101 on 2023’s suit trends. Follow along for step by steps on everything from the right trouser length to the right type of shoe. 

Understanding the Shift in Men’s Fashion

Before diving into how to wear the modern men’s suit with sneakers, it’s important to understand where these style shifts are even coming from.

Post-Covid: The more obvious to note is post-covid casualization. Once workwear and event pieces edged their way into including casual silhouettes coming out of the pandemic, the style space was forever changed! Creativity is the name of the game with the acceptance of pieces like hoodies, tees and more emphasizing color, texture and unique silhouette to make an outfit read as “dressed up”.  

Tunnel Fashion: The rise of NBA’s Tunnel Fashion is inspiring men everywhere to redefine both style and self expression. Bold prints, statement accessories and unique silhouettes are abundant with high-end designers and athletes in collaboration to create iconic looks that fans can take into their own personal style.

So what counts as dressy these days? It all comes down to your personal style. Execution is the key to successfully wearing a suit with sneakers, utilizing color and silhouette to keep the look elevated.

THE RULES, How To Wear Sneakers With a Suit in 2023

A few rules to note across the board in styling a suit with sneakers in 2023. The style goal? Minimalist, clean and effortless. Meg especially loves the tonal and monochrome looks that nod towards the Quiet Luxury movement.

–Ditch the Belt

No need for a belt with this look! Opt for trousers with a clean line. 

–No-Show Socks

While this rule can be broken depending on your personal style, no-show socks are the way to go to really master the simplicity of 2023’s signature suit with sneakers look. 

–Say Goodbye to the Tie

Keep it light, breezy and causal. It’s all open collars and unbuttoned looks in 2023’s most iconic suit with sneakers outfits. 

–What Type of Suit?

The idea is to reduce the gap in formality between your suit and the sneakers. Opt for these qualities in your suit:
-Unstructured suits with a casual cut 
-Little to no shoulder padding
-Fabrics with a casual bend (linen blends, cord, cotton twill, etc.)
-Non-Traditional Colors (beige, salmon, green, shades of blue outside of navy, etc.)

Great Places to Shop Suits: 

-Todd Snyder
-Loro Piana
-COS
-Alex Mill
-Acne Studios
-Armani

–Swap Out The Dress Shirt

Wear any of these shirt options to achieve the balance of casual and elevated between your sneakers and suit.
–Elevated T-Shirt in Silk or Fine Fabrics
-Open Collar or Button Down Unbuttoned
Wear an open collar or button down shirt with some of the buttons undone. Opt out of wearing a tie to keep this look minimalist, open and casual.
Pro Tip: *Linen needs to be starched to hold up under the weight of a blazer!
–Polo Knit Shirt
-Hoodie 
Popular with athletes, rappers and street style aficionados, light layering hoodies are a creative layer under your suit. 

–What Type of Sneaker? 

-Classic Leather
-Street Style (Dunks, Jordans, Elevated Trainer Retro Sneakers, Chunky Designer Sneakers)
-Slip-ons

–Which Trouser with Which Sneaker? The “Looks” Defined…

THE RETRO:  A cropped pant that shows the ankle looks good with retro and leather sneakers.
THE FORWARD: A puddle pant paired with a chunky designer sneaker is a great street style look!
THE CLASSIC: Trousers with a small break look great with pretty much any sneaker (except chunky designer sneakers).
