6 Fall Fashion Trends That Are Redefining Menswear in 2025
Fashion houses dressed the modern man in form-fitting silhouettes, oversized suits, and bold faux furs.
I always envisioned that the future would be something out of a Jetsons cartoon. By 2025, I expected to be eating processed food wafers and watching hover-cars weave through space-age architecture. We’re not quite there yet, but humanity has evolved to the point where those dreams of the future are almost a reality. Tesla robots aside, society’s journey toward empowering women, LGBTQIA2S+ community and people of colour is the most impressive of these evolutions. Yet, among all this progress, there’s still a cultural push for us to regress to more conservative times. Social media is flooded with ‘trad’ content that promotes a return to ‘simpler times’ where inclusion wasn’t a concern. It’s not only a war on diversity, but an attack on good taste by forcing everyone to fit inside little, boring boxes.
In response to this crisis of creativity, this year’s Fall 2025 menswear envisioned a future that left toxic traditions behind. Taking accountability for their role in maintaining these standards, designers broke the heteronormative rules that menswear was built on in new and exciting ways. Here are six men’s fashion trends that will be everywhere in the fall.
Chaotic (Faux) Fur

Throughout history, fur has been a symbol of upholding elitism. However, the production of faux fur has made it possible for the average man to feel elite in his own way. This year, fashion houses reflected that self-ownership by dismantling our expectations of what fur should look like. Prada’s models strutted down the runway in raw, mismatched fuzz paired with trench coats and puffer vests. Over at Vivienne Westwood, Andreas Kronthaler dressed men in massive furry ponchos and shaggy knee-high heels. At Balenciaga, fluffy hoods were mixed with casual heather-grey hoodies for a totally new vibe.
Hourglass Waists

The Y2K revival of 2024 showed us that men can rock a hip-hugging waistline just as well as women. For the Fall 2025 season, Diesel is keeping the party going with blazers tailored in hourglass shapes and matched with bumster jeans. Dior’s subtle take? Form-fitting blouses and sweaters that show off the shoulders while cinching in at the waist. Then, McQueen made sure men could go from the office to date night to a nightclub in style with cropped blazers and leather bombers that hit just above the belly button. Talk about versatility!
Vintage Powersuits

Nope, this isn’t your dad’s 1980s power suit—it’s better. Designers are tweaking the classic power look with updated textures and shapes that feel fresh for today. On the Fall 2025 runways Saint Laurent’s double-breasted blazers were all about drama, with wide, winged lapels. Dolce & Gabbana took a nod from old Hollywood, pairing pleated trousers with trim tuxedo jackets. At Hed Mayner, sweaters with dangling tassels and pegged trousers evoked 1940s zoot suits in the best way possible. Whether updating cues from 40 or 80 years ago, the return of these looks shows that this level of craftsmanship can outlive any drought of creativity.
Playful Prints

On days when I’m feeling all of my emotions, I wish I could wear my whole closet at once. For Fall 2025, these brands proved that such multifacetedness is possible by collaging conflicting patterns and prints on the same garment. Undercover’s Jun Takahashi gave us zip-up coats with plaid tweed torsos, striped cotton sleeves, and tartan backs. Versace went sneaky, hiding colourful prints on the inside of leather trench coats. Wales Bonner took things literally, covering matching shorts and shirts with photos of multiple faces. And at Acne Studios? Trompe l’oeil jeans, fake gym tank tops, and plaid-bordered jean shorts made each piece feel like it had a double life.
Deconstructed Americana

Last year, western wear was huge thanks to moments like Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter, where she advocated for the reclamation of Americana aesthetics. While her style was rooted in tradition, the resurgence of cowboy couture liberated designers to reimagine what the wild west could look like in the distant future. For his final collection at Loewe, J.W. Anderson demonstrated this by transforming jersey cotton raglans into elevated ponchos. Similarly, Coach riffed on jeans with suede patches and loafers reimagined as fuzzy bunny slippers. And Rick Owens had a more otherworldly vision of the future, presenting towering hoodies as hollowed-out husks where faces can hide from deep within. The future of Americana? It’s much more exciting (and way weirder) than we ever imagined.
Loud Accessories

If you’re worried the seasonal depression is going to turn you totally sour, these fashion houses may have the sweets you’re craving. Pharell Williams and Nigo offered candy-coloured accessories for their collaboration on Louis Vuitton’s Fall 2025 collection. (Think flip-phone keychains, gyoza-shaped clutches and mini puzzle box bags). Meanwhile, Charles Jeffrey Loverboy’s banana-shaped boots raised the bar on kitsch. And Kid Super’s floral print duffle bags found a happy medium between camp and functionality, offering a more pared-back alternative to the fantastical creations from the former two brands.
