This month marks the start of the spring/summer 2024 menswear ordering season. Italy’s Pitti Immagine Uomo fair will be held from June 13th to 16th, followed by Milan Men’s Fashion Week from June 17th to 21st and Paris Men’s Fashion Week from June 20th to 16th .until June 25th. The French capital is also home to what is arguably the most anticipated show of the season, as it is here that Pharrell Williams makes his Louis Vuitton debut. From modern tailoring and preppy style to double denim and strong outerwear – first of all, the most important trends that buyers should keep an eye on.
Relaxation in a suit
Men’s fashion has slowly evolved from the slim fit long advocated by Hedi Slimane to a more relaxed silhouette. Suit jackets have become looser and pants wider. Here are four examples that will continue to prevail in the coming season.
Giorgio Armani
Giorgio Armani shows off a relaxed gray and blue double breasted suit. The jacket with a shawl collar and extra-long trousers are worn with the shirt with a geometric print.
Rhude
Designer Rhuigi Villaseñor sent a cream-colored suit with a narrow black pinstripe down the catwalk. The relaxed double-breasted blazer and straight-leg trousers are complemented by a matching waistcoat.
PaulSmith
Paul Smith wore a brown plaid suit with an oversized jacket and pleated pants over a V-neck vest.
Versace
Donatella Versace shows off a suit with colorful burgundy, navy and white stripes, a wide-shouldered blazer and loose-fitting trousers. Accessories include snakeskin boots and a gold keychain.
college looks
It may be borrowed from the British, but there’s nothing more American than the “preppy” style. Formerly popularized by Ralph Lauren and Tommy Hilfiger, the look is now being embraced by designers around the world.

At Kenzo, designer Nigo presents a striped seersucker suit with a blazer and Bermuda shorts in a variety of colors including blue, yellow, green and red. He pairs socks and white loafers with it.
