men. we know them, we love them and we dress them. but in the vast sea of fashion content, it’s evident that the everyday man’s style inspiration often gets lost. i’m here to break the barrier and bring more men’s fashion content to the table. and what better way to read about men’s fashion than through the eyes of a woman.

in a few words, there’s no one defining style for 2023 in the menswear world but plenty of diverse ways to amp up your wardrobe in a unique way. which is one of the best ways to keep you looking current but also true to your personal style. and it goes without saying, there is no stress or need to follow the latest trends. these are simply suggested fashion trends that can be incorporated into your existing wardrobe or not at all. it’s all a matter of preference.

ladies, if you’re reading this, send this to the men in your life — they need it.

relaxed fit > tailored fit

say goodbye to restrictive fits and embrace the era of comfort without sacrificing style. think roomy blazers, wide cut trousers and flowy shirts that effortlessly blend the worlds of casual and chic. this trend not only allows you to move with ease but also adds an air of effortless cool to your wardrobe.

elevated athleisure

athleisure continues its reign in men’s fashion, but with a twist by blending sporty elements with more polished pieces. picture tailored jogger pants paired with a crisp button-down shirt, a casual turtleneck or even just elevated with some accessories. it is the perfect fusion of comfort and sophistication all at once.

the best place to shop for this particular style is lululemon or gap.

textured layers

with summer coming to an end and fall being right around the corner, adding depth and character to your outfits is key. textured layers, from chunky knit sweaters and corduroy jackets to woven vests and quilted trousers, create dimensional dressing. experimenting with different textures adds a tactile quality to your look.

retro vibes

history repeats itself, and in fashion, that often means bringing back the ’80s and ’90s. and no, not the chuegy, stereotypical outfits you might be thinking. this year, designers are revisiting the iconic styles of these decades, from bold patterns and vibrant colours to vintage-inspired accessories. be sure to add graphic tees and bucket hats to your wardrobe as a way to pay homage while giving your looks a more playful vibe.

statement footwear

your choice of footwear can transform an outfit from ordinary to extraordinary. stray away from a basic white sneaker and embrace a more fashion-forward sneaker. add colour to basic outfits with a pair of funky coloured shoes. and if you cannot stray from your beloved white shoes, look into veja or a vintage reebok.

what’s your favourite trend?
