While winter was feel-good and comforting, next summer will be hot and nostalgic.
How will men dress for spring-summer 2023?
This season more than ever, men are encouraged to be more uninhibited than ever through formidable pieces like jockstraps, micro-skirts, and crop tops. On the other hand, the buzz surrounding the 2000s and the MTV generation feeds into the creativity of designers. Here, we have rounded up the fashion trends that will make the men's Spring-Summer 2023 season, including biker influences, full denim looks, western accents, cargo pants and floral prints.
Soft sensuality
The summer of 2023 is all about uninhibition for designers, who have dreamed up new forms of clothing where sex appeal reigns supreme. Examples include jockstraps worn with a skirt, cropped blazer jackets and BDSM references.
Biker
Spotted on Bella Hadid and Elsa Hosk, the biker trend is making a comeback in men's wardrobes, with a plethora of racing jackets, gloves and protective pants, all inspired by the motorcycle aesthetic. The material of choice is leather. What else?
Topless
Next summer's fashion statement? Men will partially strip down, to reveal a resolutely masculine part of the body: the torso. Enhanced by translucent pieces at Dior, an open shirt worn effortlessly on the shoulders at Etro, or in crop top form at Courrèges, this is a trend to look out for.
Blue jeans
Practical and comfortable, denim is everywhere! At Y/Project, Fendi, and Prada to name a few, jeans are reinvented and worn with flair. We love the denim-on-denim look.
Y2K
Of course, designers have also succumbed to the craze that exists around the 2000s. The young brand, Mowalola offers a grunge version, while JW Anderson designed looks that could well please the MTV generation.
Western
The most iconic Texas stereotype is conquering the fashion sphere this season and inspiring the most prominent designers. The most adored pieces are cowboy boots and Western shirts, revised for a 2023 style.
Flower power
The flower, in all its forms, is a major source of inspiration for designers. Some reinterpret it in the form of patterns like Louis Vuitton, while others give it a literal meaning, as seen at Loewe and Marine Serre.
Cargo pants
Trust us, you'll swear by this pants trend. With its military lines and streetwear influences, the cargo model delivers a neo-soldier look, with at least two signature pockets (or plenty more of them for Reese Cooper).
Motif mania
Prints are an integral part of this season's collections, as can be seen Marine Serre, Ahluwalia and Kenzohecks, which use checks, stripes, tie dye, and more.
Sk8ter boy
Hoodies and wide shorts is the signature combo of the skateboarder from California. JW Anderson takes the theme literally with a sweater adorned with a broken skateboard.
Back to childhood
The innocence and naivety of childhood takes over shirts, sweatshirts and T-shirts, with patterns like a mushroom, a seahorse and figurative characters coming straight out of the imagination of designers.
Trench coat
From season to season, year after year, the trench coat remains an outerwear staple. This season, it will either be worn in its most classic version (a little oversized to boost the look), or deconstructed for a much more fashionable vibe.
Bold colors
Let us convince you to add color to your wardrobe with this season's bold, visually impactful, and acidic color coup. Dare to color-block!
Track pants
Both comfy and fashionable, tracksuit bottoms are becoming an essential piece for wearing at home or in the city.
Pajama couture
No, pajamas are not just for bedtime, at least not according to houses and designers like Emporio Armani, Givenchy and Bianca Saunders, who are making them one of the strongest pieces of the Summer 2023 season.
