If you open your closet and feel uninspired, you’re not alone and you won’t feel that way for long. The top fall men’s fashion trends 2024 are here to save you and change the way you get dressed. According to the creative minds behind the Menswear ’24 collections, you’ll have the opportunity to bring back pieces that have been living in the depths of your wardrobe and the opportunity to experiment with styles you’ve never considered before. Whether you’re dressing for the office, a special occasion or just want to look your best on the weekends, there’s a 2024 fashion trend worthy of your attention.
For the classic dresser, I’m pleased to announce the return of ties. In case you missed it, ties were on the “out” list when it came to formal dressing for the last few years. While my dad would never choose not to wear a tie to a formal event, plenty of Gen Z dressers have yet to learn how to tie one. According to designer brands like Fendi and Givenchy, adding a tie to your look, even if it’s casual, is officially cool again. Yes, dad, you were right.
For the fashion risktaker, the 2024 season provides plenty of opportunities to experiment with your look. Traditionally feminine styles, like draped silk blouses and angular halter tops, are breaking through the men’s fashion space. Traditionally gendered clothing is so yesterday—and designer brands like Hermés, Prada, and Dries Van Noten agree.

Ties

If you stood by your tie collection and continued to wear them to weddings, the office, and date nights, congratulations—you were right all along. Fendi, Givenchy, and Louis Vuitton made their stance clear: Ties are encouraged, even when you wouldn’t expect them to be. Designers paired ties with tunics, fur coats, and ski jackets. But of course, you can wear yours with a classic button-down and call it a day. Long ties, short ties, and patterned ties all made appearances, which means you can build your collection in any way you’d like.
JEMYGINS Solid Color Formal Necktie
If you want to play around with wearing a colorful tie, you won’t need to spend big. This Amazon pick
comes in 40 different shades, and while it essentially costs less than two cups of coffee, customers say it’s surprisingly well made.
Prada Re-Nylon Gabardine Tie
If you’re hoping to justify a splurge when it comes to ties, you really can’t go wrong with a timeless black option. This classic Prada design includes the brand’s logo, signaling that you’ve got good taste. But at the same time, it’s not overwhelming or over-the-top, so you’ll be able to wear it everywhere, including to the office and formal events. -
Mesh

Mesh tanks, sweaters, tops, and dresses have been dominating women’s fashion for a year now, so it’s about time the trend meshed its way into menswear. Mesh tops were the focal point in collections from designers like Botter, Amiri, and Etro. The style has an inherently bohemian feel to it but can take on a grungier identity with a little styling. Mesh or finely knit pieces are a great way to add texture and dimension to an outfit—they layer easily and can always take the place of a classic white T-shirt or tank. For styling, consider Botter’s sporty approach with jeans and sneakers or Etro’s laidback look with soft, wide-leg denim.
PacSun Off White Open Knit 2.0 Woven Camp Shirt
Netted tank tops rule the runways, but you can make the mesh trend work every day by opting for a woven polo or button-down. It’s classic with a creative twist, and while this PacSun option looks like it’s from a luxury brand, it currently rings in under $40.
UO Slim Mesh Singlet Tank Top
Leave it to Urban Outfitters to stay on top of what’s cool. While this mesh tank nails the look and is slightly see-through, it’s far from flimsy, and the holes are tiny enough that it won’t feel like too much of a fashion risk. You could casually wear this tank by the beach or pair it with jeans for a night out.
Frame Crocheted Open-Knit Sweater
Whether you style this cardigan on its own or layer it over a tee, it’s bound to make a statement. The good news is that, unlike your other light knits, the mesh design is breezy enough to ensure you won’t overheat, making it the perfect pick for summer days and nights. -
All Black

The runways show a handful of all-black looks, playing with texture, silhouette, fabrics, and more. This is doubly confirmed for me by the fact that so many male celebs were wearing all black suits on the red carpets this awards season, after a good while of prints, colors, and extravagance.
STORY MFG. Black Greetings Shirt
This naturally-dyed organic cotton button-up shirt with hand-embroidered graphics on the collar, chest, and torso is stunning. -
Halters

As an avid halter top wearer, I will let you know that halter tops are a confidence game-changer. They show off your arms, highlight the outer edge of your collarbone, and are a little flirty and unexpected—especially in menswear. Fendi provided a utilitarian example of how a halter top could be styled while Denzil Patrick created a preppy business look. Meanwhile, Dolce & Gabbana layered a halter vest to elevate an otherwise minimalist look.
K.NGSLEY SSENSE Exclusive Black MSB Racer Tank Top
If you’re not ready to make such a bold fashion statement, fake it until you make it. A racerback tank top gives off a similar vibe as a halter, but at the same time, is a small twist on a wardrobe staple, which will make it even easier to work into your everyday outfits.
Black Comme Des Garçons Cropped-Leg Wool Jumpsuit
If you’re all about simplicity and aim to get ready in a flash, save a spot in your closet for these wool overalls. Not only do they nail the halterneck trend in a fun, elevated way, but all you’ll need to add is a shirt and some shoes before heading out the door. -
Utility Vests

Brands like Prada have pulled inspiration from the outdoors by incorporating fishing vests—and other utility vests—into runway looks. If you want to drop major cash on a designer iteration of the trend, go right ahead, but I’d suggest hitting up your local sporting goods store for a more affordable (and functional) version of the item. This trend is great, because it exponentially increases the number of pockets on your outfit—and might even encourage you to take up a new hobby.
Gihuo Men’s Fishing Vest Utility Safari Travel Vest
While the look of this vest
is tough and rugged, it’s actually a pretty practical buy. All those pockets equal extra storage, so you can pack snacks for trips as well as other essentials you may need throughout the day.
Barbour Winterdale Gilet Vest
If you plan to wear this trend during the colder months, this pick from Barbour is a bit thicker and insulated, helping you to look good while keeping nice and warm. -
Weird Denim

Blue-Beige-Red Denim Jeans
These dyed jeans from Camper are on sale and come in six different color ways.
Helmut Lang Cropped Wide-Leg Painted Jeans
