The days will get longer and temperatures will gradually rise, spring blooms will begin fading, and trees will become lush with green leaves.
Recent Shift in Shopping Trends
Over the past few years, there has been a growing tendency towards comfortable and functional apparel. The popularity of athleisure wear has been on the rise. One of the key factors behind this shift is the COVID-19 pandemic. It accelerated the shift towards e-commerce that was already underway in the fashion industry. As many people started working from home or spending more time indoors, there was a surge in demand for comfortable and casual clothing such as sweatpants, joggers, and hoodies. This trend has been particularly prominent among men. Also, due to lack of social events and gatherings, there is a decrease in the demand for formal wear such as suits and dress shirts. Many men shifted their focus towards more practical and comfortable clothing options.
Summer ’23 Mens’ Fashion
This shift is likely to continue in 2023. With no one defining style in the menswear world, there is a range of diverse options to update one’s wardrobe. Tomorrow.events predicts a resurgence of 80’s and 90’s trends offering the newer generations to experience those styles in a revolutionized and more individualized way. Here is a glimpse into what T.e foresees as ‘trendy’ during the summer of ‘23 in menswear.
Baggy Jeans
Baggy jeans can be traced back to the 1990s when oversized clothing was popularized by hip hop artists and skaters. The trend is now resurfacing as a throwback to that era. Offering a relaxed and comfortable fit, baggy jeans are appealing for men who prioritize comfort over style. They also provide a unique silhouette that can be paired with a variety of tops, from oversized t-shirts to more fitted button-downs. Sneakers, boots or slip-on sandals complement the casual nature of the jeans and the overall look. Various leading brands such as Louis Vuitton, JW Anderson, Hed Mayner, Wales Bonner and Levis have some amazing designs out for you to add to your wardrobes. So those of you who are hesitant, just experiment and see for yourself!
Denim on Denim
It’s not just the jeans that are making a comeback, ‘double denim’, or commonly known as denim on denim, is predicted to be ‘Hot’ this summer.
