Well into 2024 now, menswear is looking to a future yet unwritten. This year, the three essential qualities are individuality and being comfortable with yourself! And that’s exactly what men’s fashion is bringing—it’s more bold, vibrant, and expressive than ever. From the return of retro cuts to contemporary prints and shapes, there is an option for every guy wanting a wardrobe refresh. If you look at the runways, some of it is definitely a bit more outlandish, but you can definitely pull inspiration from some of the most trending summer styles.
Read on to find out more.
The Comeback of Tie-Dye Shirts
Rather than just an alternative for the hippies, tie dye shirts for men from retailers like Wordans have made a pretty fierce comeback. This colorful, showstopping look for men is now a must-have in casual fashion. Whether you are going for the traditional spiral pattern or a modern, abstract design, you can dress them up or down and everything in between.
The tie-dye tees come in the brightest colors of a classic rainbow to more subtle, monochromatic shades. Wear them with denim jeans or shorts for a casual outfit with a jacket for a semi-formal look. The beauty of tie dye is that, due to its hand-made nature, no one item will ever be quite alike. You’ll always look good wearing tie-dye in summer.
The Short-Short Thigh-High Trend
The newest trend in 2024 is shorts – did you ever think you would see men in short thigh-high shorts? Think Prada-inspired, high-waisted, and with an ultra-exposed upper thigh. We will admit, the style isn’t for everyone. The right man can pull it off effortlessly, but it definitely can look awful on the wrong man. We’d say you have to be a really bold character to want to wear this.
These shorts are also not beach-only. Wear them with sneakers and a casual tee for an easy day look, or pair them back with a shirt to take you from day to night. Wearing thigh-high shorts is wearing confidence.
The Glitterbomb
Catwalks in London, Milan, and Paris are bringing Studio 54 and the glitter bomb look back to life. Again we’d say this isn’t for everyone, but it does look good. By 2024, sparkles and sequins became all the rage in men’s fashion. Top brands have sequinned up shirts and blazers for a slick disco futuristic vibe.
Wearing glitter can be as easy as throwing on a sequined blazer with an otherwise basic outfit or going all in and doing head-to-toe sparkle. See what we mean? It definitely isn’t for everyone. For a subtle touch of glitz, try such things as glittery accessories, like cuffs or pocket squares.
As you can see, 2024 for men is definitely about individuality. It’s time to get out of the cage of comfort. Fashion is about who you are. Have fun with these trends and tailor them to your personality. Or, if you’re a simple man, explore these trends in 2024 for a more simple look.
