Our Menswear Predictions For The Year Ahead

Consider yourself warned – here’s what’s trending for 2023.
Menswear Trends 2023Menswear Trends 2023

2023 arrives at a particularly fluid time for men's fashion. The last few years have seen designers and fashionistas alike look well beyond street and music culture for fashion inspiration, instead taking on an aesthetic that instead mashes up different decades and subcultures to create something eclectic and thoroughly unique.

Naturally, this makes it tricky to nail down predictions of what guys are going to embrace en masse going forward, but having taken a read on what the most stylish guys in the street style set have been turning towards this year, we can be pretty confident in laying down the odds on what might make its way into the mainstream in 2023. Here's what to invest in to stay ahead of the curve.

Minimalist sneakers

It's starting to feel more and more like the age of hype culture and criminally overpaying for limited drop sneakers is over. Certainly, fashion week isn't the parade of uber-rare Jordans and Yeezys it once was. Instead, with streetwear now taking less cues from sportswear and embracing more smart shirts and trousers, the tide is shifting towards 70s and 80s-style sneakers that look as good dressed up as they do down. Think vintage running silhouettes from New Balance and adidas Gazelles.

Preppy shirts

We've seen the rise of the party shirt and the camp collar in recent years, but 80s and 90s businesswear is set for a moment. Pinstripe shirts and loose-fitting oxfords are seeing new life as layering pieces, often worn open over a t-shirt or singlet and dressed down with casual staples like painter pants, sneakers and cardigans.

Knitted everything

Over the European film festival season, not a single red carpet was spared when it came to guys showing out in knitted shirts, whether they were the dapper jacquard shirts favoured by Andrew Garfield or more muted affairs layered under a suit. Either way, casual designers are making more and more of them to help the everyman keep ahead of the curve, and with alfresco party season coming up, they'll make a versatile addition to just about any summer wardrobe.

Serious skincare

With even supermarket hygiene aisles now stocking more good men's grooming brands than ever before, there's really no excuse to still be making do with a single bottle of shower gel to handle all your needs. Thankfully, millennial and Gen-Z men alike are getting on top of their grooming earlier now, with sales of moisturisers, serums and even unisex make-up booming.
