Fall Winter 2021-22 Men’s Catwalk Themes Directions

Trendstop brings FashionUnited readers the influential themes emerging
from the Men’s Milan and Paris collections during Fashion Month.

Building on overarching trends that first emerged in SS22, the Fall
Winter season sees themes of nostalgia and heritage come to fruition. As we
head into a transition period, designers are mindful of balancing new
consumer desire for comfort with the demands of working life.

Ultimate Comfort

Comfort is key for the stay-at-home consumer. Slouchy, unstructured
silhouettes and tactile woollen or felted fabrications are super soft with
a relaxed attitude. Cosy all-in-one looks follow the rise of pyjama
dressing and even hark back to romper suits for a childhood nostalgia
aesthetic.

Emerging From The House

With glimmers of hope on the horizon at the possibility of leaving
lockdown, translating WFH attire into an office setting is key. Consumers
will be unwilling to abandon their comfort styles entirely and return to
full fledged formal attire so designers are looking to hybrid dressing that
incorporates the soft cosiness of subtle padding and dressing gown
aesthetics into smart, workwear appropriate pieces that nod to classic
suiting and tailoring.

A Modern History Lesson

Introducing elements of the historical wardrobe into collections for the
modern-day man also follows consumer inclination towards nostalgia.
Reviving heritage silhouettes with more emphasis on luxe materials and
decorative detailing takes the wearer back to both simpler times and an era
of artisanship.
