Men's Fashion Trends 2027: What to Wear (and What to Skip)

Men's spring/summer 2027 coverage points to a more relaxed, more expressive wardrobe than the past few years of quiet luxury. Here are the directions worth knowing and how to adapt them to a real wardrobe.

1. Softer, relaxed tailoring

Blazers with softer shoulders, wider trousers and suits worn with knits or tees. Easy entry: an unstructured blazer over a knit polo. See how to style a blazer.

2. Shorts, dressed up

Relaxed, longer shorts (Copenhagen's "dad-core" take) with shirts, loafers and knitwear. Choose tailored shorts in neutral colors and pair with a crisp shirt.

3. Texture and craft

Crochet and open-knit shirts, textured knits, suede and fringe details. One textured piece per outfit is plenty. See fringe and crochet.

4. Earthy greens

Olive, moss and khaki remain strong. An olive field jacket or overshirt is the most wearable option. See olive green outfits.

5. More personality

With quiet luxury fading, expect more pattern, color and accessories: a printed shirt, a colored knit, a statement watch. See quiet luxury is over.

6. Belts and waist details

Belts became a bigger styling point across collections, including for menswear-inspired looks. A good leather belt with high-rise trousers works.

What to skip (unless it's you)

• Ultra-low-rise trousers
• Full head-to-toe trend looks
• Anything that doesn't work with at least three things you already own

Building trends into a capsule

Keep your base (jeans, chinos, oxford shirts, knits, white sneakers) and add one or two trend pieces per season. See men's capsule wardrobe.

A trend-ready shopping list (optional)

If you want to buy one or two things this season, these add the most outfits:

• Tailored relaxed shorts in navy, olive or cream
• An open-knit or crochet shirt for summer evenings
• Wide or pleated trousers if all your trousers are slim
• A suede overshirt or jacket

Wearing trends at work

For the office, keep trend pieces to one per outfit: a pleated trouser with a classic oxford, or a textured knit polo with chinos. Save shorts and crochet for weekends unless your workplace is very relaxed.
