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.

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