5. The Go-To Jeans
There’s a reason that Levi’s 501s is at the very top of our guide to the best men’s jeans: it has been, is, and always will be the jeans you come back to again (and again, and again). If you dig your denim dark and a little retro, though, Buck Mason’s is a close second.
6. The Boss-Level Topcoat
There’s no clothing item more dramatic than a long coat. And while trench coats are a great look year-round, a thick woolen topcoat shines in the fall and winter.
7. Floral Prints
The 70s are back with their floral motifs. The latest fashion for men includes more floral prints than their usual solids. From peachy floral boxer shorts to embroidered shirts, printed clothes are splashy and bold.
8. Denim over Denim
Denim has been one of the best inventions ever and it will never be out of style. This versatile material can be incorporated into every men’s fashion and looks great when you go overboard with it.
9. Varsity Jackets
Varsity jackets have taken over men’s fashion trends for years. These are short in the body and have cuffs and ribbed hems. These jackets will get you a preppy and sporty look when paired with sneakers. Crisp white T-shirts and sunglasses are a must with this piece.
10. Athletic wear
During the pandemic, there was a huge shift from casual wear to performance wear. Because everyone started working from home, people started buying clothes that were comfortable and sporty. Think about formal chino pants with a concealed waistband.
11. Pin a poinsettia to your lapel
Poinsettias at JW Anderson.
At JW Anderson, creative director Jonathan Anderson proved poinsettias aren’t just for Christmas mantelpieces by pinning giant versions on to models’ lapels. Head to your closest garden centre or even the reduced section of your local Xmas decorating shop to pick up an out-of-season bargain.
12. (Un)buckle up
Unbuckled belts at Loewe AW24 menswear
At Loewe belts were left open and hanging loose. Take one pair of tight-enough trousers and prepare for a lot of “sorry but do you know your belt is undone” comments.
13. Pop your collar
Half-popped lapels at Dior’s AW24 menswear show
A look for the indecisive. Models at Dior wore tailored coats with one lapel flattened and the other popped.
14. Double up
Double belts at Hermes AW24 menswear
Can’t decide between two different belts? Wear both. At Prada, snakeskin and glossy belts were styled together, one at hip height, one grazing bellybuttons; while at Hermès, double skinny belts came misaligned.
15. Adopt the new layering formula
Valentino’s AW24 menswear show

Valentino’s coloured roll necks neatly placed underneath wrinkle-free shirts and topped off with a skinny tie is the new fashion formula to learn. You can use a standard black roll neck, but for a bit more pizzazz, try a blush pink or teal.
16. Add white socks
White socks at Gucci AW24 menswear
For his menswear debut at Gucci, Sabato De Sarno showed chunky loafers with icy-white socks. Try digging out your gym socks. (But pop them on a hot wash first, please!) Warning: this trend carries the risk of looking as if you are wearing an ankle-support bandage.
17. Get uncoordinated
Non-matchy twin sets at the Prada AW24 menswear show Prada’s non-identical twin sets are easy to replicate. Just take two opposing colours and … voilà.
18. Go back to class

19. Don’t hem yourself in
Puddle-grazing jeans at Louis Vuitton.
Instead, just loosely roll your trousers up as seen at Lemaire. Ditch the sewing kit altogether. Floor-sweeping coats and puddle-grazing jeans came as standard at Valentino and Louis Vuitton, too.
20. Tuck and go

Fashion is one of the most important aspects of our daily life. We can love it or hate it, but we cannot ignore it. Be it an important meeting or a nerve-wracking date, what you wear matters a lot. It helps create a good first impression on whomever you’re set to meet.
However, this doesn’t mean that you need to be trendy or wear something that isn’t you. The goal here is to create a wardrobe that reflects your personality. A good wardrobe should have a balance of basic and trendy pieces that not only reflect who you are but also vary across different occasions.
Don’t know where to begin? Well, you aren’t alone. Figuring out your personal style takes time and if you’re not there yet, you can simply follow this list of wardrobe essentials for men. It has all that you need to look stylish and feel confident this year.
Focus On Basics
Start with basic solid t-shirts and a pair of jeans, then start expanding on your list with – shirts, trousers, or some evergreen printed tees. Buy white sneakers and brown boots they go almost with every outfit. For winter wear, you can look solid colour hoodies, bomber jackets and a long coat.
How does your new pair of jeans or t-shirt fit around your body – Is it too tight or loose, where seams or hems? Fit is one of the most important aspects of dressing well. Loose fits are in trend these days but for starters go for a simple straight fit then continue experimenting with other fits.
Shirt Fitting and Measuring
Colour: Lots of guys get confused by what colour to choose, therefore keep it simple and stick to basic colours like –
White, blue & pink for shirts Black, white and cream colours for tees and hoodies Shades of blue and black for denim jeans Olive, khaki, beige and black for trousers White and black for sneakers Brown, ban, beige and black for boots and leather shoes Different colour t-shirts

A Resort Shirt
shirts for men
Cuban collars and resort shirts have been trending for quite some time now, all thanks to the growing popularity of relaxed fits. You can choose a solid shirt, a tropical printed one or a striped shirt, the choice is yours.
A Good Pair Of Sunglasses
Instead of choosing an affordable pair of trendy glasses, invest in a good pair of timeless sunglasses that will last for years to come. When it comes to accessories, you won’t ever regret having a good selection.

A Smart Watch
smartwatch: A good watch is a classic investment piece for everyone. A stylish gentleman will have both a regular and a smart watch in his collection. However, if you want to invest in one watch alone, we would recommend a smart watch. It will complement your modern lifestyle and be more functional than a regular watch.

Flat Sandals
Shoes are an important part of every wardrobe and you need to have a good selection of pairs. Flat sandals are essential too, especially for Indian men. You can pair them up with kurtas just as easily as shirts.
A Denim Shirt
From one denim must-have to another, a denim shirt is perfect for literally every season. It’s versatile and will elevate all your casual outfits. It’s a statement piece that will not go out of style anytime soon.
A Dress Shirt
A dress shirt is typically longer than a casual shirt and worn for more formal occasions like a party or underneath a suit. We would recommend going for a pastel blue colour because of its versatility.
Espadrilles
When it comes to building a stylish shoe wardrobe, and men’s fashion trends, we often neglect casual footwear like espadrilles. Don’t believe in its reputation of being a vacation must-have. Espadrilles can be worn casually in your daily lives too. You just need to know how to style them.
A Comfy Pair Of Shorts
You may not wear shorts all throughout the year, but you need them in your wardrobe nevertheless. Be it a vacation or a brunch date, shorts can help amp up your style game effortlessly.
Wide Legged Chinos
Chinos are a classic but to stay updated with the recent trends, you must add a pair of wide legged chinos in your wardrobe. These pants will add a nonchalant suave to your look, regardless of what you pair them with.
A Solid Casual Shirt
A solid casual shirt, like the one below, is perfect for your daily wear wardrobe. You can wear it with jeans, trousers or even shorts. A classic shirt like this won’t ever disappoint you.
Joggers
Every wardrobe must have a few athleisure basics. After the pandemic, hybrid work environments have become very common and so has the need for multifunctional fashion.
