As the leaves change colors and the temperature quickly drops, people in New England start dressing for the colder months to come. For men, this means swapping out their ‘jorts’ for regular jeans and sandals for sneakers. With that, trends are morphing to fit the chillier weather, but masculine trends this fall are continuing the sporty and outdoorsy style from the summer.
Baggy jeans:
Formerly popular in the ’90s, baggy jeans have made a major comeback recently, and should be a staple in many wardrobes this upcoming fall. These jeans are perfect for the fall due to their silhouette as well as their comfortability because of their baggy fit. Baggy jeans can be styled in many ways. They can be worn more casual with street wear and can also be worn in more fancy settings with high-end fashion. All around, baggy jeans are one of the most versatile pieces to add to your wardrobe this fall.
Vintage T-Shirts:
This fall, vintage t-shirts will also be making a comeback. These retro shirts are unique due to their vintage style and different designs. These shirts are unlike some shirts of today, as they were made to last and are usually high quality. The designs on these shirts have lots of variety which makes them appealing for many different styles. Some popular brands for these vintage shirts are Nike, Harley Davidson and Adidas as well as many others. The best place to buy these shirts could be your local thrift store or even online from sites like Ebay or Depop.
Boston Birkenstock Clogs:
Once considered very out of fashion, Boston Birkenstock Clogs grew in popularity for men and women in the past couple of years. With the popularity of Ultra Mini Uggs and Uggs Tasman’s coming back strong last winter, shoes of similar styles have also found their way into the trend cycle. Boston Clogs are a perfect replacement for flip flops or boots during the in-between seasons, and although very casual, they can be dressed up with nice jeans. These shoes are very popular among women and men in the “granola” subculture, but have become mainstream due to Utah fashion trending on TikTok, and the overall resurgence of more outdoor activities while the temperature is still moderate.
Sambas:
These Adidas tennis shoes were once incredibly popular back in the day, and following the trends of classic looks coming back into style, these men’s shoes are coming back into fashion this fall. Sambas are very versatile and come in a plethora of colors and styles. Due to the color variation, Sambas are also very easy to style with any outfit, perfect for a clean, low effort look.
Carhartt jackets:
Carhartt Jackets are essential for those chilly fall days. These jackets provide insulation and a stylish look when you need it. The heavy duty denim that rests on the outside of the jacket is perfect for the outdoors. These jackets are not only perfect for a rugged outdoorsy look, but they also provide warmth for the whole winter season. Carhartt jackets are usually around $100-$150 depending on the jacket. If you are looking for a stylish fall outfit, look no further than Carhartt.
Vintage sportswear:
While sportswear and athletic clothing have been extremely popular for men since the mid to late 20th century, recently the combination of casual clothes and athletics, especially vintage ones, have taken over masculine trends. During the summer and early fall, some guys wear sports jeans with a practice football jersey, soccer jersey from a popular European team or a baseball jersey. This is a fashionable way for people to keep up with the baggy clothing trend while expressing their favorite sport and team. As the weather cools down, short sleeved jerseys aren’t as practical, so they can be replaced with vintage sports bomber jackets or crewnecks. Easy to find in any thrift store, vintage outerwear is stylish just for appearing older and more unique than regular sports sweatshirts you can find in modern shops.
