It’s time to ditch the shorts and get your warmest coats out of hiding.
But how do you take your autumn/winter outfits to the next level?
Men’s accessories come in many different shapes and sizes and can change up your look depending on your mood or where you’re going.
Here are the top picks from the runway this season.
Socks are a must
You heard that right… socks!
While for some they’re just a basic staple, others use them to add a pop of colour or pattern to their outfit.
One of the predicted trends for men’s fashion this autumn/winter is maximalism. Cobalt blue, striking pink, and refined patterns were hard to avoid during fashion week. Brands like Paul Smith and Dsquared2 used contrasting prints, patterns, and shapes to debut their new collections.
Opt for a colour that compliments the other tones in your look, or choose a contrasting shade to make heads turn and give a nod to current trends.
Hats are here to stay
Beanies are back this fall!
But did they ever go away?
From full coverage to teeny shapes that add extra texture to your look, beanies are a must for autumn/winter 2023.
Scarves for every mood
Scarves are an obvious one when it comes to cold-weather dressing, but what style should you go for this year?
Trending colours on the catwalk include bright blues, apricot, and Cadbury purple. Adding a brighter colour to a more monochrome look really takes your style up a notch.
Why not follow two trends and match your socks to your scarf for the ultimate double whammy?
Bigger and better belts
Belts aren’t just functional items – they’re great for adding a central point of interest to even the most basic of outfits.
Grungecore is back and better than ever! Inspired by 80s punks and 90s rockstars, it’s all about checked prints and ripped jeans. Chain and studded belts go perfectly with plaid shirts and distressed jackets.
Unleash your inner angst this autumn/winter with a standout belt.
Bags, bags and more bags
Tote bags and cross-body styles are always in fashion. They may be super practical for day-to-day life, but what’s new for this year?
Travel bags in a bowling bag style combine durability and luxury to make the perfect staple accessory this season.
Autumn/winter trends to put on your radar
There are a few other trends for this season that are worth mentioning.
Here are the top ones sure to be hitting shelves in the next few months.
Head-turning collars
This year it’s all about the collar: the bigger the better. From sharp dagger shapes to shearling accents, the runways were filled with eye-catching collars.
Opt for a subtle change in tradition or make a statement.
Coats of the season
Anime villain-inspired overcoats are another trend shown in different versions by the likes of Saint Laurent and Fendi. From traditional masculine shapes to more theatrical designs, give off a powerful vibe with an overcoat this autumn/winter.
Bomber jackets are a classic as soon as the sun goes MIA, and this year is no exception. Whether it’s understated black leather or contrasting metallics, chuck on a bomber and you’re ready to go.
The deconstructed suit
Tailoring is always in, but it’s time to switch it up a bit.
With missing or shrunken lapels and far from traditional button placement, the likes of Kenzo, Givenchy, and Hermès show us how the classic suit can be modernised with just a few simple changes – it’s sure to be a hit.
