9 Male Models Show How to Wear Fall's Best Menswear Trends
From 1960s-inspired suits to rock-star jackets.
Gone AWOL
The collections are never complete without an overt military reference. This season’s focus was the Navy, which Prada mined to perfection with cropped sailor shirts and formidable admiral coats.
Prada coat, shirt, pants, hat, and shoes; Uniqlo socks.
Easy Does It
The ongoing influence of casual dressing has led to a looser fit in suits. Yet designers proved there is a way to look elegant and relaxed at the same time: Try a monochromatic double-breasted suit with classic sneakers.
Emporio Armani jacket and trousers; Burberry polo shirt; Apple Watch watch with Apple Watch Hermès band; Converse sneakers.
Mod Rules
The counterpoint to relaxed tailoring is a ’60s-inspired look that’s guaranteed to turn heads. The key to pulling off boldly patterned trim suits is to exercise restraint everywhere else: Pair them with a simple black turtleneck and classic monk-strap oxfords.
Bally blazer and pants; Boss turtleneck; O’Keeffe shoes.
Teen Spirit
It’s been a year of comebacks, ’90s grunge chief among them. But this time around, the style is more thought-out: plaid shirts and high-top sneakers, yes; loose man bun, not so much.
Bottega Veneta jacket; Tom Ford sweater; Acne Studios jeans.
Glam Slam
Among rocker style’s many incarnations, the best were arguably in the late ’60s and early ’70s, when musicians like Jimi Hendrix and Mick Jagger flaunted glamorous, androgynous flair. Thankfully, Saint Laurent and Roberto Cavalli are keeping that spirit alive.

Young At Heart
Pokémon characters aren’t the only ones causing a commotion. From Mickey Mouse at Iceberg to the plush bears at Gucci, the stuff of video games, comic books, and Saturday morning cartoons is suddenly grown-up cool.
Gucci cardigan, T-shirt, and sneakers; Tom Ford jeans.
Beasts of No Nation
Contrary to popular opinion, you don’t have to be a rapper or a frontiersman to wear fur—as long as you don’t go crazy with it. A pair of fuzzy slippers or a shearling-collared jean jacket go a long way toward making a statement—and keeping you warm.
Fendi jacket; Saint Laurent sweater; NN07 shirt; Steven Alan pants.
Sports Authority
Changing out of your gym clothes to hit the streets is so last year. Thanks to the ubiquitous athleisure trend, you can now sport warm-up jackets under blazers and pair sweatpants with tailored topcoats. Just do us a favor and shower first.
AMI Alexandre Mattiussi jacket; Neil Barrett track top; Officine Générale pants; Falke socks; Church’s shoes.
The Big League
Maybe it’s the slacker in us, but slouchy, oversize clothes suddenly feel right. Just ask Raf Simons, who blew up almost everything in his collection to XXL proportions.
Raf Simons sweater; Handvaerk T-shirt; Margaret Howell pants; Louis Vuitton shoes.
