The Hottest Autumn Fashion Trends for Gents

1. Newsboy Hats

We love a good hat, and while beanies have long dominated colder-season fashion, we couldn’t be more excited about the rise of newsboy hats this autumn.

2. Slouchy Denims

Let’s face it—denim will always be in fashion!

Regardless of the colour or cut, every fashion season brings a new denim trend that turns heads.

This time, slouchy silhouettes are in! That’s right—no more extra-tight skinny jeans. Instead, embrace ultra-baggy denim, pair it with an oversized denim jacket, and you've got the ultimate casual look for the season.

3. Chocolate Colour Palettes

There’s something undeniably nostalgic about brown hues, and they pair perfectly with autumn’s cosy aesthetic.

This season, shades of brown are making a strong comeback—especially in leather jackets, suede shoes, chunky knit sweaters, and argyle patterns. Brown exudes a refined, academic feel that’s both stylish and timeless.

4. Neatly Knitted

The knit sweater is a must-have staple in every gent’s wardrobe.

It’s a versatile piece that can be worn on its own during warmer autumn days or layered under a blazer for a polished look. Whether chunky or lightweight, knitwear always adds effortless charm to any outfit.
