Men's 2025 Fashion Trends
Men's fashion is going through a curious moment. With a subtle return to more classic shapes, there remains a sense of freshness unseen in previous decades. In menswear, the fashion trends for 2025 reveal a practical, yet also expressive, intention.
Sporty, '80s-inspired nostalgia now expresses itself through new codes. It seems Anthony Vaccarello was right all along. The classics are adapting to the body, and to the present moment. The new male wardrobe is built around small details: a shorter jacket, a sleek sneaker, an oversized tote bag... It’s about defining, not erasing, everything achieved so far. These trends have not only emerged on social media but have been confirmed by the collections and major runway shows of the world’s most exclusive brands—the ones that don’t follow trends, but rather dictate them.
The Lightweight Shoe
In 2025, men’s sneakers and loafers return to their origins. Far from the XXL soles and maximalist volumes that dominated footwear in recent years, the new models embrace a lightweight, flat look, with streamlined silhouettes and almost aerodynamic construction. This gives rise to what is now called men's torpedo shoes, a new generation of sneakers that seem almost carved with a knife. Minimal shapes that feel inherited from the ballet trend, now adapted for men’s fashion. Golden Goose styles or Comme Des Garçons Play x Converse are once again taking over the streets of fashion capitals.
Brands like Prada, Maison Margiela, Golden Goose, Gucci, and Saint Laurent offer ultra-light versions of classic men’s sneakers and loafers. Ultra-slim versions crafted in suede, leather, or technical fabrics, all with a markedly retro-futuristic feel. Highlights include models like the Elliott Sneakers from Bottega Veneta or Saint Laurent’s suede loafers.
These shoes pair perfectly with wide-leg trousers, long shorts, or oversized jeans. This trend marks a clear shift away from the tun-tun core aesthetic and embraces a new form of understated elegance.
Windbreakers
The lightweight trend expands into other fashion categories. 2025 promises to be the year when the technical windbreaker makes its comeback as a forgotten streetwear essential. These ultra-light jackets, made from nylon or technical fabrics, leave behind their purely athletic image to become a must-have in men’s cosmopolitan style. The standouts of this trend: jackets from Moncler, Herno, and Stone Island.
The new windbreakers are inspired by the sporty culture of the '80s and '90s, brought into the present with a minimalist, contemporary aesthetic. Their shapes are simple yet polished. The color palettes, sober and neutral, make them perfect layering pieces for unpredictable spring weather. In fact, we currently feature a special windbreaker by Comme des Garçons Play x K-Way.
Extra-Large Men's Tote Bags
Figures like Jacob Elordi and Lewis Hamilton have made it clear: more is more. The growing trend towards practicality is reflected in the new collections through oversized men's tote bags. XL totes for men embrace comfort with clear intent.
Voluminous totes become practical and powerful pieces this season. Curiously, while clothing trends lean toward cropped and compact fits (fitted jackets, ultra-light sneakers), men’s bags move in the opposite direction: the bigger, the better.
Brands like Gucci, Bottega Veneta, Loewe, and Comme des Garçons lead this trend with leather, canvas, and durable nylon options. For instance, the Bottega Veneta men’s intrecciato leather tote bag perfectly blends the brand’s minimalist elegance with the versatility to accompany you from office days to impromptu weekend getaways. But this is not just about functionality. These bags balance polished outfits with an effortless, natural, and carefree air.
Retro Sportswear
The '80s revival is in full swing. Retro sportswear climbs back to the top of the trends with a mix of athletic nostalgia and contemporary references. Straight-cut trousers, reinterpreted T-shirts, and '80s-style track jackets dominate the spring/summer season.
Brands like Saint Laurent, Moncler, Stone Island, Maison Margiela, and Gucci have all revisited the sportier side of fashion. Jil Sander, Herno, Isabel Marant, and even Canali showcased looks inspired by vintage codes: bold colors, high collars, graphic logos, and technical fabrics.
The key to modernizing these looks lies in contrast: mixing sportier pieces, like lightweight sneakers, with more elegant elements like bomber jackets. A jersey-style T-shirt can be worn with tailored trousers, or retro sneakers with a lightweight blazer. The balance between elegance and freshness makes retro sportswear one of the season’s most exciting bets.
Little Denim Jackets
In line with the revival of past decades, denim jackets return with a new vision: tighter, cropped, and more refined in style. This year, denim reinvents itself through proportions and cuts that are closer to the body, adapted to modern sensibilities.
The most coveted versions come from brands like Loewe, Jil Sander, Lemaire, Maison Margiela, Prada, and Saint Laurent. The goal? To find the piece that perfectly blends aesthetics and functionality—a lightweight jacket ideal for spring that can easily transition into autumn.
But it’s not just about denim. Bomber jackets are also experiencing a resurgence (not that they ever really disappeared). Brands like Canali, Loewe, Gucci, Prada, Bottega Veneta, and Saint Laurent have all worked on impeccable versions of the bomber jacket. For a fresh, modern touch, opt for a smaller size or a tailored fit.
