Men’s Casual Fashion Today

What Are Men Wearing Today? 

Gen Z and younger millennial men are changing what it means to be stylish in men’s casual wear. A big part of dressing well today is embracing femininity in certain pieces. This can be seen with celebrities like Jacob Elordi, Harry Styles, and Paul Mescal. Keep reading for a more in-depth breakdown of one popular style men are trying out in modern times. 

Let Us Talk Pants and Shirts 

Finding the right pair of jeans is very important. Baggy/ultra baggy and straight leg are really the only acceptable choices. These pants should sit comfortably around the waist or hips without excessive sag. Skinny or skinny adjacent just is not with the times in most cases. 

Jorts can also be an honorable mention in the jeans category. These baggier pant options work perfectly because there is an increase in more fitted tops for men. The baggy tee and baggy pants look is always a good choice. However, a cropped shirt or fitted sweater is also popular lately. 

When it comes to shorts, basketball styles are not really relevant in the fashion community. Athletic shorts like Lululemon’s Pace Breaker shorts are rising in popularity. A retro, short look is becoming more common for casual shorts. 

Accessory Insights 

Men’s popular shoes today are similar to what is popular in women’s shoes. This is the slim, retro-inspired silhouette. This selection includes options like Sambas, Gazelles, and Birkenstocks. These are often paired with crew length socks. 

Big jackets in the jean or leather variety are often paired with plain outfits to elevate them. The oversized pants and jacket coexist great together with a fitted shirt worn neatly underneath. 

Simplicity is a big characteristic of men’s fashion today, even when it comes to layering. On the topic of layering, a statement piece looks great paired with a white shirt. Specifically, short-sleeved tartan/plaid shirts worn open over a tee. This can create a slightly more elevated look compared to just a T-shirt alone. 

Tote bags and cross-body bags are rising in popularity for men as well. These often work as functional accessories to a variety of outfits.
