Move over, ‘quiet luxury’ – June 2023’s menswear shows in London, Milan and Paris offered classic tailoring contrasted with softer, androgynous aspects

Consider a blazer worn with thigh-revealing shorts, black everything, a white tank – or adding a twist to a suit by swapping the shirt for a halter neck top

Much of 2023 has been dedicated to discussions of “quiet luxury”, especially in light of the success of HBO show Succession and the muted palette presented by fashion brands such as Zegna and The Row.

The style’s loosely cut shirts and toned down trousers have stolen the spotlight from arguably more interesting developments in menswear, namely the borrowing of cues from womenswear – a trend that was taken to new levels in the spring 2024 catwalk shows.

There is a sense of change in how luxury’s top creative directors, from Saint Laurent and Dolce & Gabbana to Louis Vuitton, are approaching menswear.

Instead of a suit or a shirt and a pair of trousers or shorts, high-waisted suit trousers are being paired with one-shoulder tops, and monogrammed jackets are being worn with pleated skirts, ankle socks and loafers.

The convergence between men’s and women’s fashion is by no means a new phenomenon, but the concept has gained traction in recent years as brands embrace the shift in masculinity and gender norms.
