Fashion has long been seen by the public at large as a women’s thing. Women are the ones who avoid wearing the same outfit twice in a week or a month. They’re the ones who are careful when putting on makeup. They’re the ones who have shoes for every occasion.
However, there is such a thing as men’s or male fashion. No, it’s not just a white t-shirt or a sleeveless undershirt and jeans with sneakers. It’s also not necessarily about formalwear involving people renting out business suits or tuxedos either.
What’s the Deal with Men’s Fashion in 2024?
The deal with men’s fashion in 2024 is this. Skinny jeans are out and cropped shirts and polos are in. Celebrities like Jacob Elordi, Taylor Zakhar Perez, and Timothee Chalamet are all about the cropped aesthetic. It’s best worn by those with the abs and waist to feature, of course.
Your streetwear wardrobe for Spring & Summer 2024 should also lean to the practical like in the case of women’s wear. You don’t need to go the whole nine yards with the tailored suits, but something more casual like Abercrombie & Fitch style will suffice. Less is more is the name of the game.
The “kids these days” are also all about getting the right fit. The days of baggy everything in the 1990s and early 2000s have long past. JNCO pants are to the Nineties and Early 2000s as flared pants were to the 1970s Disco culture.
What’s Retro and What’s the Latest in Men’s Fashionwear?
Hard to get fashion right in the middle of Climate Change, where it seems like the seasons are off by a month and we’re going through winter in the middle of spring or spring in the middle of summer. You also have to take societal sentiment into consideration.
As far as today’s men are concerned, they’re looking into the classics of womenswear like it’s the 1980s all over again and the Androgynous Look is making a comeback. The fashion shows were all about the zebra, leopard, and snake prints.
Muted Fits with Hints of Androgynous Ostentatiousness
Womenswear in 2024 is muted colors, striking blacks and whites, and retina-burning red to communicate third-wave feminisms’ sentiment of demoralized sobriety with a burning passion for change in the right direction.
Menswear in 2024 is all about male allies supporting this push for equality and diversity for POCs and the LBGTQ+. Take down the patriarchy by indulging in things like muted fits with snakeskin-inspired coats, horse hair cow print boots, and massive faux leopard fur coats for added sexiness.
In street wear terms, the cowboy and country fit is in as befitting of the socially conscious, androgynous millennial cowboys with anxiety who wish to reject traditional toxic masculinity to fit in with current social norms.
