The menswear assortment at the designer level has never been as diverse. Whether it’s tailoring, streetwear or for outdoors, there are a myriad of options for buyers to choose from. As we approach the fall 2023 buying season, here are key styles to look out for.

Tailor Made

In the FW23 season, look for sharply tailored suits and separates: broad shoulders, nipped-in waists and double-breasted silhouettes will all resonate. Here are some recent examples.

Street Style

Double denim a.k.a. the ‘Canadian tuxedo’ is still a strong look for FW23. Glenn Martens showed a two piece ‘sweatsuit’ rendered unexpectedly in blue ombré denim.

The death of Vivienne Westwood will most likely engender a revival of punk era styles. Several designers have already explored the genre. Jeremy Scott created several neo-punk outfits including red and black plaid pants with a matching jacket, a hooded sweatshirt and a giant safety pin as an accessory.

Brightly colored denim is trending for FW23. Matthew M. Williams recently showed an orange denim blouson jacket with a black trim and matching jeans.

The Great Outdoors

Often coined ‘Gorpcore’, in recent seasons, outdoor styles have become prevalent in many designer collections. Look for this trend to continue for the FW23 season. In outerwear, puffer looks will continue to resonate. Great inspiration can be found from recent seasons.
