Whether you’re a summer enthusiast or not, a sunny day can significantly brighten your mood. The same goes for this summer’s clothing trends. Natural powder tones like green, blue, and sand are popular, but there’s also room for bright colors and busy patterns. Furthermore, there’s a noticeable focus on airy fabrics, such as washed linen. To always look comfortable and stylish, we’ve compiled the five key fashion trends for men in the spring and summer of 2024:
1. More refined and comfortable
In recent years, there has been a mix between casual and formal, but this upcoming season is more about a refined look and good design. However, one thing remains the same: comfort is important. Think piqué shirts, knitted polo shirts, and knit T-shirts. These soft and airy fabrics with a slight stretch make every outdoor activity enjoyable. Knitted garments have a luxurious feel and elevate any outfit. Perfect to wear with a sneaker suit for a sporty look or a linen blazer for (semi-) formal occasions.
2. Relaxing in loose fits
When you think of summer, you think of vacation! So, it’s no wonder that for the spring and summer of 2024, we’re making room for relaxed clothing. We see that the fits of summer clothing have gradually become looser. This provides more freedom of movement and comfort. Moreover, it allows more air to circulate around your body, providing cooling and better ventilation. Very handy during the next record-breaking heatwave! Relaxed fits also give your outfit a casual look, perfect for activities like barbecues, beach walks, and road trips.
3. Linen is highly favored
The airy texture of linen makes it pleasantly cool against the skin. Furthermore, linen is remarkably durable. The characteristic wrinkles that occur during wear add a casual elegance to your outfit. Whether you opt for a stylish linen shirt or playful linen shorts, you’ll stay comfortable even on the hottest days. An additional benefit is its environmental friendliness. Little water and no pesticides are needed during the cultivation of the flax plant, from which linen fibers come. So, it’s also a responsible choice!
4. Showing off our legs more
What screams summer more than shorts? This season, we’re expanding the number of occasions where you can wear shorts without hesitation. From brightly colored swim trunks at the beach to short chinos for the office, it seems like we’re heading into autumn with bronzed legs! Of course, it’s still important what you pair the shorts with. Are they comfortable flip-flops and a playful neon-colored T-shirt or stylish sneakers with a classic polo shirt? Use this summer to experiment with various styles.
5. Experimenting with color
Spring and summer of 2024 are the seasons to infuse your outfit with vibrant colors. This year’s motto seems to be: the more eye-catching, the better. This is evident in brands like Tommy Hilfiger and Sun68. At the same time, pastel colors are making their way into wardrobes. These soft shades give your outfit a timeless look, making them perfect for endless mixing and matching. Additionally, we see garments where colors and fabrics intentionally appear faded. This gives the impression that you’ve been wearing your Desoto shirt for a while, adding a casual vibe to your look.
