New Season: Men’s Trends to Know for Autumn/Winter 2025

Words by Tony Wilkes

‘Sophistication’ is a word often used in menswear parlance – so often, in fact, that its meaning dilutes. Consider Autumn/Winter 2025 your reminder of its definition. From mix-and-match suiting to heritage fabrics, the new season is a man’s masterclass in elevation, striking a balance between tradition and emboldened modernity. Read on for the trends to know and invest in now, courtesy of Prada, Lemaire, Brioni and more.

Deep Rooted

Annually, Pantone® selects its colour of the year, a shade that best expresses ‘the global zeitgeist’. In 2025, that accolade went to Mocha Mousse – a rich brown, steeped in comfort – and menswear collections from the likes of Zegna and Willy Chavarria dutifully hunkered into its earthy palette, delivering versatile neutrals that are easily layered into every scenario. For best results, contrast deep ebony and chocolate with caramel, taupe or rust.

Mix-and-Match Tailoring

Despite its traditional pedigree, tailoring has rarely looked as fresh as it does through the lens of Autumn/Winter 2025. This season, menswear designers continued to offer the loose, boxier cuts that have been gaining traction over recent years – pieces that lend themselves well to casual pairings, be they T-shirts or sneakers. The newest tack, though, is the ability to mix things up. According to Gucci and Amiri, your tailored trousers needn’t match your blazer or shirt. Here comes the fun.

Next-Level Knits

Knitwear has its classics. Simple cashmere rollnecks, preppy cardigans and adaptable sweater vests – such pieces are so well-loved that it’s easy to forget you can introduce variety. From Louis Vuitton to Wales Bonner and McQueen, brands have re-energised knitwear for the new season with high-octane intarsias, shapes and embellishments that prove those necessary winter layers don’t have to blend in. Meet your wardrobe’s new main characters.

Heritage Hype

For centuries, British-made textiles have been renowned for their quality. And it’s these heritage, outdoorsy fabrics – wool, tartan, tweed – that have swept through every style capital this autumn. Contrast is key to wearing yours with a contemporary edge. Ami Paris, Junya Watanabe and Louis Vuitton nuanced them with formality: fluid tailored trousers, lace-up shoes and a classic shirt and tie. Of course, Burberry always leads the charge, with chief creative officer Daniel Lee continuing to lean into the brand’s archival codes.
