The latest collections of men’s fashion for resort 23
took up the look that was popular in the 1990s, combining sportswear and streetwear. At Dior Homme, Kim Jones presented a ‘California Couture Collection’ that included a chevron stripe knit top and corduroy trousers, which were paired with skater sneakers and a key chain, just like the ’90s street kids of Orange County years.

At Louis Vuitton, Virgil Abloh’s legacy lived on in the men’s Resort 23 collection. From the first look, a short-sleeved shirt over a cartoon tee with matching pants, a bucket hat and skater sneakers, Abloh’s signature streetwear style was evident. This trend should clearly prevail in men’s fashion for SS23.

In addition to the inevitable light and pastel tones, brown tones mixed with contrasting colors are the trend for SS23. A recent example from the Resort 23 shows was a darker color palette at Dior Homme. Kim Jones strayed from his ‘So-Cal cool’ pastel palette and sported a slouchy T-shirt with the iconic Dior newspaper print and pants in shades of cream and brown, paired with fuchsia sneakers and a gray and pink ombré ‘sock hat’ that was accented with was sequined.

A denim jacket paired with a pair of matching jeans was a popular outfit of the 1980s/1990s, nicknamed the ‘Canadian Tuxedo’. It also formed a striking look during the F/W22 men’s collections and seems to continue into the S/S23 season as well.
