In the year of our lord 2024, talking about men’s fall trends—any trends, really—can be tricky.

Thanks to TikTok, a look will go viral and seem to be everywhere (remember blueberry milk?!) …for about four days before we’re onto the next.

Who knows what’s next? Magician-core? E-goths who love to garden? What I’m saying is: if you’re a trend in line, stay in line!

The bottom line? This relentless churn is basically impossible to keep up with, let alone to shop and dress for!

So, how do you—a man with taste looking to freshen up his wardrobe from one season to the next—make sense of it all? How do you look like a men’s style leader, instead of just another follower?

I’m so glad you asked. 

Because we’ve sussed out five current trends in menswear that I predict will last longer than Addison Rae’s singing career.

Stick with us, and we guarantee you won’t end up pulling a rabbit out of a top hat on your next date (or something).

Check out 5 men’s fall trends to try this year:

Western vibes

Maybe it’s because I’m going to a “Cowboy Cocktail” dress code wedding in a couple weeks, but I’ve been especially attuned to the Western revival happening across menswear right now.

IMO, it’s a lively counterbalance to years dominated by athleisure and WFH-wear.

The best thing about this trend? It’s straight-up sexy. 

Shirts that have pearl snaps instead of buttons? How fun.

Leather boots that you could ride a horse in, even if you’re actually just riding the subway to work? Mmm, rugged.

A wide-brim Stetson hat? Eternally handsome.

If you’re not sure where to start, a denim shirt like this is a great entrypoint—try it with black jeans and some chukka boots. 

Just as easy? Top off your favorite weekend outfit with a trucker jacket that gives major “I rope cattle in my spare time” vibes.

Relaxed-Fit Everything

To be clear, this is not a permission slip to pull out your Jncos from junior high.

In 2024, relaxed fits are everywhere, but they still look stylish.

To be clear: this new, relaxed look isn’t sloppy.

The waist of your pants should still fit nicely, and the leg shouldn’t puddle around your shoes.

Same goes for shirting—the neck opening and sleeves should sit where they usually do, while the body is more generous.

If this feels like new territory for you, don’t worry. You can make it work in real life, not just on the ‘gram.

Think about your outfit as a math equation. You need to balance both sides.

A pair of pleated chinos, for instance, will look great with a more fitted tee and white sneakers. 

Likewise, a boxier or blousier shirt (yes, I said blousy!) paired with a more slim or straight-cut pant also lets you dabble in this extremely comfortable trend.

Prep Remix

The nice thing about a preppy style revival is that it tends to come around every few years, and this time around is your chance to put a mature grown-man spin on the trend.

Plus, most menswear experts (SGHQ included) agree that these kinds of preppy pieces—cable-knit sweaters, oxford cloth button-downs, and loafers, for example—never really go out of style.

This time around, the prep trend feels less stuffy and formal; more playful and irreverent.

Think bright and bold colors that would look so cool over a rugby shirt.

Want to get away from prep that’s too on the nose? How about pairing some iconic checkerboard Vans (the West Coast answer to Madras plaid) with a mariner stripe tee and khaki chinos.

Oooh, and a navy blazer on top of it all? Sheesh. So good.

It’s an unexpected mix like this feels like The Fresh Prince meets Prince King Charles in all the right ways.

Neutrals and Earth Tones

Next up, perhaps the most chill trend of the fall. Our recommendation for incorporating more earth tones and neutrals into your wardrobe is simply to go all in. 

Neturals are exactly that when worn with other, brighter colors—they help ground your look. And they do in fact go with everything! This fall’s take is to wear shades of brown, khaki, beige and olive green layered together. 

When it comes to wearing so many tonal colors together, texture is your friend. 

For example, try a speckled, oatmeal knit sweater paired with dyed brown denim, brown boots in a smooth leather, and a rugged jacket in brown or olive green over it all.

The mix of rough and smooth, solid and slightly varied color keeps your look sharp, instead of monotone.

Workwear

Finally, workwear. Possibly the easiest to wear of all the men’s fall trends.

Take your pick—workwear pants, workwear jackets, chore coats….they all look cool and fresh this year.

The bottom line? Trends come and go.

However, if you stock your closet with quality items that fit well (never forget your friend the tailor!), you’ll find yourself wearing them for years to come. 

The best part? You may even have some of these pieces and ideas hanging in your closet right now!

Remember, you can pick and choose the ones that feel right for the way you live, and that fit best with what you own.
