Men’s fall fashion can often bleed into men’s winter fashion staples, and then there are plenty of evergreen options that you can wear year-long. Men’s fashion casual may read like an oxymoron, but it’s possible to look good even when you’re chilling out.

We’ve spent the better part of a day researching men’s fashion clothes, building you this epic list of must-have items. From men’s fashion jeans to men’s fashion vests, and men’s fashion suits, we’ve found the good stuff, so you don’t have to! Take a look.

What are Fashionable Men Wearing Now?

MY’S Men’s 3 Piece Slim Fit Suit Set (BEST CHOICE)

If you’re in the market for your first suit, whether that’s to wear to prom or your first formal work event, the MY’s Men’s 3 Piece Slim Fit Suit Set might just be the ticket! With 19 different color options and a free tie included with each purchase, there’s a lot that fashionable men will love about this incredible deal.

If you do find yourself ordering this suit set, make sure you find a great tailor in your town. While all suit cuts happen with an average body in mind, few people fit their suit perfectly straight out of the bag. So a little tailoring can go a long way!

Legendary Whitetails Men’s Buck Camp Flannel Shirt

Anyone with a moderate amount of taste knows that you’ve got to have at least one flannel in your wardrobe, ideally one with timeless and tasteful coloration. The Legendary Whitetails Men’s Buck Camp Flannel Shirt is a nice choice for fashionable men who need something a little more capable in the cold that looks great with a pair of denim jeans.

Legendary constructs this Buck Camp Flannel Shirt with medium weight, premium flannel material. The cuffs and neck feature a liner to keep the heat in and the cold out. And with 21 color options to choose from, there’s a look for every man.

Timberland Men’s White Ledge Mid Waterproof Ankle Boot

It’s hard to think about fashionable men without envisioning someone wearing a pair of Timberland boots. These timeless city dwellers work well in the wet downtown streets and in the great outdoors. This pair of Men’s White Ledge Mid Waterproof Ankle Boots would be a great compliment to a winter wardrobe, especially when you need to meet the weather with some attitude.

Inside the boot is a dual-density footbed that you can remove if you have special needs like high arches. The boot has a padded collar around your ankle to keep the cold out and your feet cozy. Six color options are available to match any wardrobe, but we’d recommend the Dark Brown as you’ll have more clothing to pair with that color than others.

Carhartt Men’s Midweight Sleeve Logo Hooded Sweatshirt

There’s nothing quite like a good hoodie. Everyone needs at least one in their wardrobe for those days when it’s just a little chilly outside, and you want maximum levels of coziness. Carhart is an iconic American brand that is known for the robust quality of its softgoods. This particular hoodie is a 50/50 blend of cotton and polyester, so it will be nice and warm, as well as stretchy enough for any task.

With 18 color options available, there’s a look for all types in the Men’s Middleweight Sleeve Logo Hooded Sweatshirt by Carhart.

Adidas Men’s Ultraboost 20 Running Shoe

A proper flex in the gym isn’t going to happen without the right pair of trainers. That’s why we think a pair of Adidas Men’s Ultraboost 20 Running Shoes are the right choice, especially if you mix a little street work into your routine. Adidas is known for high-quality footwear that can scale from the gym to casual environments, and that’s exactly what we think the Ultraboost running shoe is perfect for; how versatile!

Full leather uppers and a synthetic sole make this shoe’s construction perfect for a day out around town or in the weight shack.

Under Armour Men’s Tech 2.0 Short Sleeve T-Shirt

A basic t-shirt is a must-have. Whether you are headed to the beach or a training session, you need one. With Under Armour, you can be certain that the manufacturing quality will last for years, which is why we chose the Men’s Tech 2.0 Short Sleeve T-Shirt for our list.

This fully poly men’s t-shirt is machine washable and features UA’s Tech Fabric, which is not only quick-drying but employs anti-odor tech to keep you smelling fresh. The hem on this particular tee is streamlined and shaped for movement.

Under Armour Men’s Ignite VI Slide Sandal

Slides are the quintessential, around-the-house sandal, and Under Armour has designed a pair for maximal comfort and good looks for fashionable men. The Ignite VI Slide Sandal’s footbed looks like two teeny tiny pillows sitting next to each other. You’ll probably be so comfortable in them you’ll be tempted to wear them to the grocery store. We wouldn’t recommend it, but YOLO baby! If you’re gonna rock the slides at the grocery store, you might as well go all out and rock the socks with slides look.

The adjustable strap over the toe box ensures that even the biggest or smallest feet can fit securely into these slides. Traction pods near the rear of the sandal make sure you’re firmly stuck to the ground, even if you are running around the pool. We don’t advise that either, but again, one life to live!

Gioberti Men’s Formal Suit Vest

Adding a buttoned vest to a suit jacket or just over an oxford shirt can quickly take an outfit from casual to professional. The Gioberti Men’s Formal Suit Vest is the perfect complement to your wardrobe if you don’t yet have a vest’s classic touch. Five buttons adorn the sizes up to 3X, and then after that, they throw on another button to keep the form of the cut. Speaking of sizes, this is one of the few vests we could find with sizing all the way up to 6X.

12 Color options are the standard for the Formal Suit Vest, but we’d advise you consider black or grey if this is your first vest!

Chouyatou Men’s Wool Blend Pea Coat

Peacoats are as dapper as they are cozy. Add one of these to any attire, and you’ve instantly upped your street cred as fashionable man as well as your internal temperature. The Choutyatou Men’s Classic Notched Collar Double Breasted Wool Blend Pea Coat is a classic design with its turndown collar and side slant entry pockets.

This atop a button-down and some nice chinos, and you are ready for a weekend in the Hamptons, or you’re just going to look that much cooler when you show up to work.

Wrangler Men’s Regular Fit Comfort Flex Waist Jean

Denim comes in many varieties, the Canadian tuxedo may have gone out of style, but a solid pair of denim jeans never will. Skinny jeans are on their way out, per our extensive research online, and a more relaxed fit is quickly becoming the norm. Wrangler’s Regular Fit Comfort Flex Waist Jean is a nice blend of comfort-forward features that maintain some of their original flair for fashionable men.

The comfort flex waistband has a bit of poly blended into it just in case you have a bit too much for lunch; that way, you’re not suffering the rest of the day. These jeans are a classic 5-pocket design with heavy-duty finishing hardware (buttons and stuff) to ensure these jeans will be good for years.

Hey Dude Men’s Wally Sox Loafer

Loafers fit into a strange middle ground in the shoe world. Not quite a dress shoe, but also not entirely casual, they defy categorization. Hey Dude has created their Men’s Wally Sox Loafer for those mellow Sunday afternoons out and about town. They pair great with jeans or chinos but leave them at home for formal occasions.

With 23 color options, you should be able to find a pair that matches your personal style.

FLAVOR Men Leather Motorcycle Jacket With Removable Hood

FLAVOR’s Brown Leather Motorcycle Jacket features a removable hood, twin zipper pockets up front and comes in four color options.

Under Armour Men’s Tech Golf Polo

Hitting the links with the wrong t-shirt is seriously taboo if you’re with golfers that mean business. Under Armour has been making high-quality sporting goods since 1996, and they sponsor some of the world’s greatest athletes. So, you can be fairly certain that they had some solid research and development when they designed the Men’s Tech Golf Polo.

Featuring anti-odor technology, this polo shirt will look (and smell) as smooth as a putting green, no matter how long you’ve been in the rough.

Wrangler Authentics Men’s Premium Twill Cargo Short

If you’ve ever felt like you just didn’t have enough pockets for all your gear, you probably weren’t running cargo shorts that day. Wrangler’s Men’s Premium Twill Cargo Shorts are the perfect solution for that dad who has too much to carry. Eight pockets in total on these bad boys, with a zipper front closure, meaning you can carry some serious gear, and they aren’t going anywhere.

Seven color options are available, but we’re a fan of the green camo. They’ll never see you coming!

MOERDENG Men’s Waterproof Ski Jacket

If you’re going to venture out into real weather, you best come with a waterproof jacket. MOERDENG’s Men’s Waterproof Ski Jacket is a nice blend of functionality and fashion.

What Fashionable Men Are Wearing Now Buying Guide & FAQ

Fashionable Men’s Dress Code

Casual Style – Casual is a term that gets thrown around a lot as it relates to the clothes you wear. For some, casual could be sweatpants, while others who likely wear suits all day see casual more along the lines of loafers and a pair of chinos. What is certain is that casual is a big part of the clothing market, but how you stay fashionable while casual is a tough needle to thread.

In most cases, think of casual as something you’d be willing to be seen in by the general public, but not something you’d wear to an important meeting or event. Casual attire should be comfortable, work with you and the setting you are in, and put off the vibe that you aren’t taking things too seriously.

Smart Casual Style – Smart casual sits in between your standard casual wear and business casual style. Smart casual looks like a pair of chinos or dark pants, paired with a blazer and a pair of leather shoes. This middle ground should often be utilized when popping in and out of the office or a day around town. Smart casual is also seeing an uptick in popularity due to the number of people working from home. So, if you’re a Zoomer these days, what you’re wearing when those pesky video conference calls pop up, smart casual is your go-to.

Business Casual Style – The quintessential business casual outfit for fashionable men is the full suit minus the jacket and tie. Maybe even pop that top button open; it’s casual Friday! But really, this concept can be a little hard to define, but most see it as a dress code that is just slightly below board room basics, but ready to dress up in case you need to drive some sort of PowerPoint presentation in front of a group of your peers.

Business Professional Style – This is the full deal! When you’ve got to look your best in the office, you’ve got to go full business professional. For fashionable men, you can count on a full suit being the requirement here. Depending on the situation, you may even consider a vest under that jacket as long as it isn’t too hot out. Business professional for some is an everyday way of life, but this is a once or twice in a year occasion for most work-a-day types.

Cocktail Attire Style – Cocktail parties are fun; they replace the office with a bar but maintain many of the same dress codes as upheld during the workday. Cocktail attire truly can run the gambit from casual to full white tie, and it crosses the threshold from standard business attire right in the middle of the scale. At the high end, the outfits are starting to look a little more wedding-like. Stroller suits are like a business suit, but they add in a crossover vest below the blazer, making it feel a bit more festive. A black-tie affair would call for something like a black bowtie, and a low slung black vest under a blazer, whereas a white tie would just substitute the tie and vest color. Both of those events may call for a top hat if you’re really trying to impress!

What makes a man stylish?

Style really has nothing to do with the price of your clothing, and it’s not just about looking good, either. True style requires the understanding of numerous elements of dress, grooming, and how you carry yourself. Once all three of these elements are refined, and an entire package comes to life, a man begins some semblance of style.

The first important element of style is knowing which piece of clothing is appropriate for the occasion. Being wildly out of step with the rest of the group might be a sign that your style isn’t ready for prime time. Knowing how to match clothing is also another essential element in a stylish individual. Wearing a pair of sneakers with a 3-piece suit might be a sign someone doesn’t know how to craft a style.

What men’s clothes are in style?

According to outlets like GQ, Style Girlfriend, and others, there are some surprising trends for 2020. Necklaces and a basic, standalone t-shirt are making a comeback. Whether it’s just a pocket tee or something a bit more high-end, throwing a basic necklace over the top creates a nice contrast that stands out. Chinos are also a very classic style that is starting to come back into fashion. These days, however, the focus is on creating a more comfortable chino that doesn’t feel like the office is your next stop.

Tie-dye has also become a thing again, much to the chagrin of those old enough to hate the fad from the 70s. As menswear begins to inch its way out of the rule-based norms and into a more colorful space, men’s fashion is beginning to get a bit more lively, and what’s more lively than tie-dye?

Thanks to brands like Stance, socks are a now symbol for fashionable men. What once was just a barrier between your feet and shoes now come adorned with logos, they tell stories, and they confirm a level of sophistication based on the logo that’s easy to spot on the side. Socks were never “out” per se, but they are way more “in” than ever before.

What suits are in style now?

Despite the more casual clothing trends in the workplace and almost everyone working from home, suits are still cool. It appears that color is returning to the suit world, like dark green and light blue. These are for more than just seersuckers in the south; these are mainstream colors now!

Skinny fit is also on its way out, slightly. Suits and pants are opening up a bit, and you can breathe again. Thanks in part to a more relaxed focus on clothing, suits are still going to be less comfortable than a pair of sweats, but they’re going to be a whole lot more comfortable than that skin-hugging style of the early 2000s.

What clothes are attractive on guys?

According to Cosmopolitan, the list of things that are “Sexiest on men” is slightly surprising, according to this author. A basic t-shirt is at the top of the list; it seems simple enough. But what they are implying is a properly fitting shirt with the appropriate color (in contrast to your skin tone) from a premium brand. You can forget that last part; just make sure it looks good; who cares about the brand.

Round tortoise shell glasses are another on the list for fashionable men we can’t disagree with. Nothing says “book smarts” like a pair of spectacles that looks like you just put down the New York Times only to pick up a copy of Infinite Jest.

Are skinny jeans attractive on guys?

The answer depends on who you ask! Certainly, in blue-collar jobs, the men working with their hands probably wouldn’t have too much positive to say about the skinny jeans trend. Fortunately, for those dudes who’d never wear them anyway, they aren’t wrong. A quick Google search of the trend reveals women’s rampant distaste for the last ten years’ over-tight fashion trend. As a man, you’re supposed to be shooting for the V-shape, where the skinny jeans kinda turn you into an “L” both figuratively and literally.

What clothes do the girls like on guys?

As mentioned above, some of the most classic and timeless outfits never really go out of fashion. After reading an eye-bleeding number of articles about just what kind of clothes men should and should not wear, the general consensus seems to be that women appreciate a man with style, more so than a single, particular pair of clothing. So, figuring out the elements of your own style, understanding how to pair elements of your clothing together, and finally bringing it all together with grooming and some smart shoe sense makes all the difference. And that’s why we created this guide, so you’re welcome!
