With New York Fashion Week Fall 2020 in full swing, you’re probably glued to your computer watching all the live stream fashion shows. We know we are. But you don’t have to wait till the womenswear shows wrap up to learn the latest styling tricks. Everything you need to know can be gleaned from the recent menswear shows. No, really.
Why should you care about what goes on at the menswear shows?
There is definitely crossover between the womenswear and menswear shows so men’s fashion week can be a good indicator of what’s to come. (Or offer new ways to flaunt the last round of ready-to-wear trends targeted to ladies.) And since not everyone is privy to this secret, you’ll be way ahead of your fellow fashionistas.
What styling tricks do the Men’s Fashion Week Fall 2020 shows have to offer?
After checking out the guys walking down the Fall 2020 runways, we’re feeling emboldened to challenge a few fashion no-nos. Like mixing black and brown, rocking (faded) double denim and combining plaid with other members of the check family. We also learned how to make sure everyone knows we dared to buy opera-length gloves this season. Plus, we uncovered a new way to wear embellishment during the day. The best part? You can try out most of these styling tricks right now since they’re designed for colder weather — and several of these tips work for the office so you won’t be stuck wearing the same outfits day in and day out.
So if you can tear yourself away from your nonstop womenswear runway marathon, listen up. We’ve put together a slideshow of 10 trends you just have to try. Prepare to take notes because here are the top styling tricks we picked up from the latest round of men’s runway shows.
Styling Tricks From Men's Fashion Week Fall 2020
-
Wales Bonner Fall 2020 Menswear
Swap out your button-down or pussy-bow blouse for a cool turtleneck. It really makes a suit pop.
-
Fendi Fall 2020 Menswear
Mixing brown and black goes against the very fiber of our fashion being, but this look makes us want to give it a go. Slipping a two-tone sweater under a black leather blazer with brown leather pants secured with a black belt is a truly stylish way to dip our toe into the trend.
-
Ermenegildo Zegna Fall 2020 Menswear
It’s easy to navigate an all-neutral look as long as you incorporate varying shades and work in a pattern or two.
-
Berluti Fall 2020 Menswear
Instead of rocking plaid head to toe, wear a classic check shirt with a windowpane suit. Bonus points for adding a neon turtleneck.
-
Dior Men Fall 2020 Menswear
Long gloves have been popping up on runways for a while now. But no one can appreciate them when the pair's layered under your winter coat. The solution? Scrunch up the sleeves to reveal the lengths you’re willing to go for fashion.
-
E. Tautz Fall 2020 Menswear
Double denim is no longer a fashion faux pas, but faded pieces make the pairing a whole lot trickier. A longer denim jacket layered over a statement tee tucked into light-wash jeans is a chic way to pull off the look.
-
Rochas Fall 2020 Menswear
The best way to wear embellishments during the day? Via your coat. Just make sure to keep the rest of your look relatively subdued.
-
Prada Fall 2020 Menswear
Keep your sweater vest in rotation through spring by using it to top off your go-to short-sleeve (or even sleeveless) shirt.
-
Off-White Fall 2020 Menswear
Think capes can’t be casual? Think again. Slip on a heather gray version over a light gray sweater and charcoal pants to look put-together without an ounce of try-hard.
-
Fendi Fall 2020 Menswear
Big puffers aren’t going anywhere, but designers keep coming up with new ways to style them. Try matching your sweater and your kicks to the color of your coat for a truly cohesive look.
