In this guide, check out men’s outfit ideas, clothing, and accessories that fit the 2025 “fisherman aesthetic” fashion trend…
Ahoy there, mateys! Move over, brosexuals, there’s a new men’s trend in town, and it’s bringing a salty breeze of style with it.
The “fisherman aesthetic” is setting sail in 2025 with a laid-back, maritime-inspired attitude that’s both stylish and functional. Think: cable-knit sweaters, nautical stripes, and maybe even a sardine tattoo (optional, of course).
The best part? You’ll get to rotate in much of the still-on-trend workwear pieces you already have in your closet to channel your inner salty dog.
To truly nail the fisherman aesthetic, aim for a blend of rugged practicality and salt of the earth sophistication with your outfit.
Durable fabrics like canvas, corduroy, and wool in earthy tones of navy, olive, and beige all will work. Invest in a classic fisherman’s sweater in a chunky knit, and pair it with well-worn jeans or rugged chinos. Don’t forget a sturdy leather belt and a pair of rugged boots – think classic work boots or sturdy leather deck shoes.
Finally, accessorize with nautical touches like a watch with a canvas strap, a simple silver chain, and a beanie and puffer to get through those cooler days.
Get inspired with the fisherman aesthetic for 2025, and shop Style Girlfriend’s picks to nail the look.

Check out the fisherman aesthetic style:
Corduroy pants and a sturdy sweater
Top it all off with your warmest, puffiest jacket for a stylishly casual look.

Add a workwear vest
Yes, vests are still a thing in 2025!
Wear yours over a long-sleeve tee or favorite crewneck sweatshirt.
A chunky sweater screams “long nights at sea”
Bonus points if it was lovingly knit by a lady love longing for you back at shore.
Wear a plaid flannel
An easy way to incorporate the fisherman aesthetic into any cold weather outfit.
Layer with a chore coat
The versatile light jacket can be pulled into so many different styles, including this one.
Incorporate nautical stripes
Never been on a boat? No problem.
Layer your seafaring stripes under a bright jacket so they just barely peek out from your outfit.
Go with all-over neutrals
A chunky sweater, barn jacket, and beanie all go seamlessly together in a surprisingly interesting, textured way.
The Birkenstocks are a nice touch, and trendy, too!
Layer your look with a quilted vest

Stay warm in a vibrant puffer
Want to stand out? Skip a dark winter jacket and go for outerwear that could be spotted at sea.
The voluminous coat is balanced by wide-leg workwear pants and stompy boots.
Pull on a cozy cable knit sweater
An essential cold weather staple, the chunky crewneck sweater is a must for any guy trying to nail the fisherman aesthetic.
The bright green sneakers add a nice pop of color to an otherwise muted look.
