Men’s fashion: 9 trends to adopt for fall

Are you looking for a fashionable look this fall? In this article, discover the must-have styles and colours for the modern man's wardrobe in 2024!

1-LEATHER IN ALL ITS FORMS

The aviator or biker look is back, but in a "cleaner" version—think neatly trimmed beards and well-groomed (or shaved) hair! Chic leather garments are definitely in vogue. For a better investment, opt for durable and timeless pieces that pay homage to the classic biker style. In 2024, shades of brown and tan are making a solid comeback. If your jacket or coat features details like a shearling collar or "sherpa" lining (faux shearling), that's even better! This trend can also be seen in certain overshirts.

2-OVERSHIRTS

Overshirts have been around for a few years and are the perfect mid-season pieces. Not only do they provide a casual style, but they're also great for layering. Wear your overshirt over a button-down shirt and a simple T-shirt for a comfortable and trendy outfit. Are you feeling cold? Throw it under your parka, and you're all set! At Ernest, we offer both light and lined overshirts. Come check them out!

3- HYBRID BOOTIES AND DRESSY SNEAKERS

The keyword for footwear this fall? Versatility! On the warmer autumn days, slip on sneakers with leather details or inserts. While they might be too dressy for the gym, these shoes are stylish enough to wear to work or a night out.
Also, look for booties with patterns, contrasting materials and colours, and eye-catching details. Wear them with chinos and a sports or dress shirt for a refined look. For a more casual style, go for jeans and a quality T-shirt. Booties also pair well with a suit and a turtleneck for an irresistibly sporty chic look!

4- CLASSIC CUT SUITS

Note: "Classic" here doesn't mean "boring!" A quality suit is the foundation of an impeccable men's wardrobe. Even when adding details or trims, simplicity works best—and it's what men seek! This year, slightly more relaxed cuts replace slimmer fits. You can stand out with nature-inspired colours (e.g., brown, dark green) or windowpane patterns.

5- SPORT COATS FOR ALL OCCASIONS

A classic sports coat with a shirt, jeans, and dress shoes will always look impeccable. For the start of the fall season, pair it with a plain T-shirt. On cooler days, combine it with a turtleneck or a crewneck sweater. "Hybrid" models are also popular—they feature a removable faux bib collar for two different looks depending on the occasion. Neutral, versatile colours like gray, beige, or brown are the way to go.

6- BURGUNDY AND NAVY BLUE

Often associated with nobility and royalty, shades of deep red are easy-to-match autumn neutrals that suit many skin tones. Paired with navy blue, wine shades create exquisite combinations. These colours, which help you stand out on gray days, can be found everywhere—from suits and sport coats to sweaters and accessories.

7- NATURAL NEUTRALS

This fall, a colour palette dominated by beige, sand, and camel takes over men's wardrobes. Monochrome outfits in rich fabrics exude elegance. A patterned shirt in natural colours paired with dark pants and a plain overshirt creates a harmonious look. In other words, there's no need to dress head-to-toe in beige and brown! Instead, add natural-toned pieces as new neutrals to achieve a chic and sophisticated look.

8- CREWNECK AND TURTLENECK SWEATERS (AND SOME POLOS)

Opt for a crewneck or turtleneck sweater for a dressy or sporty look. You'll find many material and colour options to wear alone or layered. If you're still wearing v-necks, note that they are now very subtle—almost invisible. As for polos, they're trendy when they're "clean" for a preppy look. We love tone-on-tone textured models, but don't hesitate to add a few patterns to your fall wardrobe.

9- CLASSIC PARKAS

With Canada's ever-changing fall and winter weather, you need a variety of coats to maintain a polished look in any situation! In 2024, parkas, exceptionally versatile black ones, are in vogue.
