This season’s menswear was shaped by strong shows in London, Milan and Paris. A number of standout trends for S/S23 were on display, including lots of bright colours, tie-dyes and ombré, which give the clothes a good dose of dopamine.

London-based brand AGR creates brightly colored knitwear with a nightclub vibe. Looks included a tie-dye rainbow jumper paired with shiny tech pants and an AGR-branded crossbody bag.
Amiri
Los Angeles native Mike Amiri showed in Paris. Although his earlier designs are rooted in denimwear, he expanded the S/S23 collection the offer with a variety of fabrics and colors. Look 50 consisted of a cotton knit sweater reminiscent of shibori techniques paired with relaxed fit trousers in a silk fabric.

For S/S23, Anthony Alvarez presented a collection with a Californian flair. Look 25 consisted of a tie-dye sweatshirt embellished with shiny patches and paired with white technical cargo pants.
Dries Van Noten
Dries Van Noten’s S/S23 collection was partly based on the Buffalo style of 1980s London with elements of current motocross culture. For Look 57, the designer showed off a sleeveless zip-up top with an orange and yellow design paired with patchwork shorts.

Louis Vuitton
It was the first collection since Virgil Abloh’s death, but his signature was evident in every look. The concept of the game served as inspiration. Look 28 paired an orange and white baseball jacket with green and orange tie-dye skater pants.
