In the GQ offices, celebrating the new year involves more than just champagne and resolutions: it means a fresh slate of men’s fashion trends to kick off 2025 on an impeccably-shod foot. Around this time every year, we thank our sweats and shorts for their service, set them aside in favor of fuzzy sweaters and raw jeans, and barrel toward new sartorial horizons at full speed. Which begs the question: What do we see coming around the bend in 2025?
To answer just that, we polished off our crystal ball and peered intently into its murky depths to suss out 15 men's fashion trends way more exciting than, like, a half-hearted commitment to start exercising. (Said crystal ball is actually the GQ Recommends braintrust—we’re a little more calculated than a mystical orb, and a lot less cursed than ChatGPT—but the point stands.)
To predict the can’t-miss menswear moves of the coming year, we scoured runway stills, street style shots, and our very own mood boards to make sense of where the state of our highly specific union is headed next. Take a look, glean what you will, and start shifting your 2025 fits into high gear.
