Some dread the drop in temperatures, the darker mornings, and the wetter weekends. But to others, autumn means pumpkin spice lattes, cozy nights in, and fabulous fall fashion. It’s the latter that we’re going to discuss in this article.
When it comes to autumn wardrobes, some guys need a helping hand from their other halves. If you’re on a mission to elevate your boyfriend’s wardrobe, here are some style tips to follow at this time of year.
What Colors Are Popular in Men’s Fashion This Autumn?
When it comes to color trends, you can’t go wrong with following a neutral colour palette. Shades of brown, grey, and navy are always popular in fall. Brown in particular was popular last year. This year, you can add green to that list. Expect to see everything from sage to khaki being a hit so feel free to experiment and find the shade which suits your man.
If your man’s style is a little too quirky for neutral colours, you’re in luck. A bold or bright pop is perfectly acceptable this fall as fashionistas look to break away from tried and tested trends. Brighter greens, blues, and even pinks can all be worked into an autumn wardrobe in 2024.
Men’s Style Trends for Autumn 2024
Knitwear
Knitted garments have been a staple of this year’s fashion scene for both guys and girls. As the temperature falls, expect this trend to stay strong come autumn and winter. Cardigans usually rear their heads come this time of year, but in 2024, don’t be afraid to go bold with your choice of knitted cardi.
Loud, patterned cardigans are going to be a lot more popular this year. Pairing these with a plain tee allows the knitwear to be the focal point of the outfit. Seeing as every guy probably has a plain white tee and a pair of black jeans hanging in his wardrobe, gifting him a statement cardigan will be all he needs for a stylish fall fit.
If you can’t convince your other half to get on board with the cardigan trend, knitted jumpers offer another way to jump on the knitwear trend. Chunky, cable-knit jumpers will be popular this year, but consider accessorising with some male jewellery so your man doesn’t end up looking too much like your grandad!
Oversized
Another trend which is not specific to autumn is oversized clothes and outfits. These are likely to be in trend nowadays. Ultra baggy jeans have been a staple of the last few years, and this summer baggy shorts and tee combo was in full flow. But if you’re looking to keep the trend of oversized clothing in autumn and winter as well, just add an oversized coat or tracksuit to your boyfriend’s wardrobe.
Oversized overcoats are a great choice for when your man is heading into the office or to other smart events. They go perfectly with a shirt and tie and are a great way to add a modern twist to your otherwise corporate look.
For more casual outfits, an oversized men’s full tracksuit is a great way to style up your man’s comfy fits this fall. Consider the colours that we mentioned are going to be popular this autumn. Khaki or brown tracksuits paired with an oversized puffer or gilet will make the perfect style-meets-substance outfit in the lead up to winter.
Overshirts
Overshirts, or shackets are of today’s tome and are more likely to meant a great addition to your wardrobe . They’ll also be one of the most versatile items in your boyfriend’s wardrobe as they can be worn in so many ways.
For milder days, a tweed or wool overshirt will work as an outer layer when it’s not quite cold enough for your winter coat. On the other hand, layering your overshirt with a T-shirt and parka will create a trendy yet warm option in colder climates.
These can also be a combination with some other current trends to give a modern twist in old classic trends. Oversized overshirts will be popular this fall while adding a shirt over a knitted jumper will introduce your boyfriend to the art of layering.
Accessories
Onto the accessories, and this is where modern men can put an experimental twist on their fall outfits. The male jewellery industry is booming at the minute, and dark, chunky rings are a great way to touch up a fall fit.
Speaking of experimentation, male bags are becoming increasingly quirky. They also offer another way to add a personal touch to an autumn outfit, and this is where that pop of colour that we mentioned earlier can be introduced.
Finally, a chunky knitted beanie could be the ultimate fall accessory in 2024. It ties into the knitwear trend already mentioned while being a practical option for guys in the colder months. If your man has a birthday during the season, it’s also an affordable option for a little wrap-up.
