For those who follow the fashion calendar, February marks a shift. You’ll often see it called new season. In the industry, it’s the time that collections – presented some months prior – land in stores and, in turn, wardrobes. Trends are born. The ‘next big thing’ emerges. And, while you may not diarise the moment per se, you’ll likely find yourself in the market for an update. This could be for entirely practical reasons: spring is on the way, and the heavy knits you’ve been sporting all winter just won’t cut it. But this thing we call new season is as much about a feeling as it is about function. Longevity and quality are common threads that unite menswear’s key trends for Spring/Summer 2023 – the wisest investments being pieces you’ll wear again and again.
