Start the new year on a stylish note with the latest trends on your radar. As we step into 2025, men’s fashion trends continue to evolve, embracing bold looks while staying rooted in timeless style.
2025 is feeling fresh, with comfort and functionality at the forefront, drizzled with understated luxury. There’s lots of denim, from jacket to jeans, paired with textured fabrics in rich hues. A continuing trend making its way into the new year is Grandpacore, AKA grandpa style. Drawing inspiration from nostalgia, this laid-back and pared-down aesthetic echoes the simplicity of the ‘60s and ‘70s. Think: timeless wardrobe staples like cashmere cardigans, argyle sweaters, tweed blazers, and corduroy trousers.
Whether you’re looking to upgrade your wardrobe or simply stay in the know of fashion trends for 2025, these top five fashion directions will define the year.
1. Men’s Fashion: Cozy Cardigans
Cardigans add depth and warmth to your wardrobe, while earthy tones like beige (seen here), olive, and charcoal create a contemporary look. The knitwear shines in its layering potential, pairing effortlessly with a T-shirt and a button-down jacket for a refined yet casual vibe.

2. Wool Sweaters
Sweaters in rich shades like deep navy, forest green, and dark burgundy are men’s fashion essentials for 2025. Merino wool provides a lightweight and breathable option ideal for layering, while lambswool is softer and cozier, perfect for chilly days. Classic designs such as crewnecks (seen here), V-necks, and turtlenecks pair effortlessly with various outfits. Investing in high-quality sweaters ensures durability, comfort, and a touch of elegance that enhances any wardrobe.

3. Slim Suits
The slim suit remains a staple for those who favour a more polished look. This style features streamlined silhouettes, perfectly tailored to flatter your body without feeling restrictive. As seen on Andrew Garfield’s Gucci custom suit, minimalist details such as sharp lapels, clean lines, and subtle V-cuts on the hem enhance its appeal. Versatile enough for both formal events and hybrid work settings, slim suits offer a timeless aesthetic that ensures you always look sharp.

4. Double Denim
Denim never goes out of style, and 2025 brings exciting updates to this much-loved fabric. Relaxed fits dominate, offering comfortable and loose silhouettes that channel a vintage vibe. Raw and selvedge denim emerge as premium options that age naturally over time, adding character to your wardrobe. Make a bold double-denim statement by coordinating your denim jacket and jeans.

For footwear, Derby shoes are taking center stage in 2025. These men’s shoes are suitable for both formal and smart-casual outfits. Modern updates include sleek ankle-length designs in colour (seen here). Known for their easy wearability and support, Derby shoes pair well with slim suits, denim, or even textured cardigans, providing a polished finish to any look.
