The 7 Menswear Trends That You Should Be Rocking Right Now
Menswear Style Update
By Cali Westmoreland | 19th August 2025Gone are the days of dragging our boyfriends through endless shopping trips, only to land on the usual suspects: skinny jeans and sad chinos. In today’s booming menswear scene, style is finally stepping up – trading basic for bold silhouettes, and boring for beloved styles.
Been manifesting a relaxed, wide-leg jean moment? Or hoping that one tragic tee gets swapped for a textured knit popover? Your fashion prayers have officially been answered.
Enter the Menswear Trend Edit: a curated hit list of what’s hot, what’s next, and what’s turning “menswear has never been cooler” from a whisper into a full-blown fashion anthem. Think: city-slicker bomber jackets with utilitarian pockets, graphic tees that actually speak, and cargo ripstop pants that walk the line between rugged and runway-ready.
Buckle up – your wardrobe glow-up starts now.
Crochet Hats
Feeling like your go-to cap just isn’t cutting it lately? No worries – next on the click-list is the cooler-than-ever crochet hat. And before you picture something straight out of grandma’s knitting basket, think again. Major brands are putting a fresh, fashion-forward spin on this retro staple, turning it into the ultimate headwear accessory that’s literally turning heads. With bold colours, playful patterns, and modern silhouettes, the crochet hat is quickly becoming the statement piece you didn’t know you needed.
The Bomber Jacket
The bomber jacket’s reign isn’t just a trend – it’s a legacy. Once strictly utilitarian, it’s now the go-to layer for guys who want to look like they know what they’re doing without trying too hard. This season’s iteration leans into a more structured silhouette with oversized fits, military-inspired pockets, and elevated fabrics like matte nylon or soft suede cotton. For that effortless city-cool vibe, throw it over a crisp white tee, relaxed trousers and a clean sneaker – perfect for everything from coffee runs to low-key nights out. It’s the kind of jacket that doesn’t just finish the outfit – it makes it.
Suede Sneakers
Suede sneakers are the unsung heroes of a well-dressed wardrobe – low-key luxe with just the right amount of polish. They land somewhere between sporty and sophisticated, making them the ultimate style chameleon. This season’s standouts come in muted earth tones, deep navies, and soft greys that feel elevated without trying too hard. Dress them up with tailored trousers or down with loose denim – they’ll add texture, depth, and a bit of quiet confidence to whatever you’ve got on. Clean lines, rich texture, no flash – just smooth moves.
Oversized Cargo Pants
No longer refined to off-duty dads or weekend hiking trips, Cargo Pants have been reborn in exaggerated proportions and luxe utility fabrics that feel more runway than trail-ready. Think wide legs, sharp pleats, and oversized pockets that can fit all the essentials you used to stuff in your back pocket, while serving shape and swagger. Pair them with a minimalist knit or a sharp jacket to balance the volume, or go full fashion forward with a matching oversized top for that editorial edge. Function meets flex – and this time it’s seriously stylish.
The Pointed Collared Shirt
Forget the pain button-ups of seasons past – these pointed collared shirts are bold, sleek and packed with style. Spotted throughout Jacob Elordi’s street style lookbook and flooding the menswear scene at the 2025 Met Gala, the pointed collared shirt is truly a conversation starter. While proper and trimmed, the unconventional silhouette of the pointed collared shirt elevates any outfit from simple to sexy. Whether layered under a boxy coat or styled with a sharp tie, this new look brings just the right amount of attitude. Pro tip: keep things laid-back and don’t go too ham on accessories or belts. With this look, the simpler the better.
Knitted Ties
Sick of the same old tie that’s been hanging in your closet for years and reminds you of work every time you put it on? Trade your plain silk tie for something a little more fashion-forward and try out this hot new trend – knitted ties. I know, doesn’t sound so inviting, but seriously, you have to hear us out here. With its luxurious texture, this statement piece flips a business suit, making the suit its business. So don’t be shy… try it out!
European Length Boardie’s
Wishing you had joined the crew and jet-setted off to Europe to escape the Australian winter? Well, good news is, you can feel as though you’re already there with the new boardie style that’s been making bold moves in the fashion scene recently. With icons such as Paul Mescal and Harry Styles seen rocking their short shorts this summer, we feel as though we’ve all been inspired to join the bandwagon and show a bit of leg. With the European length boardshort popping up in so many of men’s swimwear labels, it’s hard to outrun them. Dive in!

That’s where the graphic tee steps in – loud, unapologetic, and currently dominating everything from street style snaps to runway recaps.

We’ve pulled together a tight edit of standout graphic tees that are doing the most – in the best way possible. The best part? A solid graphic tee doesn’t just complete a look – it is the look.
