Our AW23 menswear trend guide has landed, featuring the key looks to load up on, all with up to 70% off at Designer Outlet Ochtrup.
Bombers & Bikers
Ever since the likes of Marlon Brando and James Dean made bombers and biker jackets so effortlessly cool, they have played a key role in men's wardrobes. That doesn't look set to change for this season as designers such as Givenchy and AMI Paris rev up the trend with a sleek and smooth update. Embrace the rebel vibes with leather bombers by Gant and Petrol Industries, or go full throttle with biker jackets by JOOP! and Hechter Paris. These are perfectly paired with a hooded sweatshirt by Scotch & Soda or a loose-fit top and relaxed cargo trousers by Jack & Jones, offering a more elevated take on this timeless classic. Naturally, keep your footwear rugged with military boots by Ara, then hit the road like you own it!
Accessories
Complement the bomber and biker jacket trend with a rugged assortment of black accessories such as military boots, big buckle belts and cross-body bags with an urban edge.
Classic Tailoring
It wasn’t that long ago that relaxed oversized suits were staking a claim on the world’s most stylish runways, but this season the likes of Paul Smith, Prada, and HermeĢs are leading the pack on a return to classic tailoring proportions. Super sleek and elegant single-breasted navy or black suits by Hechter Paris and JOOP! set the sartorial bar high for autumn, paired with elegant white shirts by Seidensticker, or better, fine-gauge wool rollneck sweaters by designers such as Gant and Hechter Paris. The silhouettes are flatteringly svelte and timeless, making this trend a fantastic one to get a tonne of mileage from. Perfect proportions like these are great when offset with a pair of chunky dress shoes by G. K. Mayer Shoes , giving the look a dose of modernity.
Accessories
The timeless elegance of classic suiting can be dialled up a notch by adding a host of discerning winter accessories from smart black dress shoes to leather bags and gloves.
Long Wool Coats
Picture yourself on a crisp winter’s day in Paris, wrapped in a floor-length, double-breasted overcoat by JOOP!, protecting you from the chill while turning heads with your impeccable style. Well fantasy is very much a reality this season as the warm long coat is arguably the must-have garment. Huge floor-sweeping coats by Marc O'Polo and Gant are the perfect winter layer, boasting warmth, volume, tactility, and timeless style. Layer them over chunky crew-neck or high-neck knits by Tommy Hilfiger and Guess for a polished modem look, and finish the look with some extra texture in the shape of wool or corduroy trousers by Hechter Paris. Keep the colours muted, with black, navy, and dark tobacco brown to let the volume and texture do all the talking.
Accessories
Long wool coats are all about volume and texture so complement them with oversized scarves, statement leather tote bags, and chunky soled shoes to make a bold statement.
Tracksuits
From the athletics fields of the 1930s, the tracksuit has been an essential piece of sporting kit but it wasn’t until the 60s when Adidas launched their first style, which was then adopted by hip- hop culture, that the tracksuit became fashion currency. This season sees the classic grey cotton tracksuit become a key part of collections at the likes of Dior, Fendi, and Dolce & Gabbana, injecting an effortless loungewear vibe into everyday style. Jump on the trend with supersoft oversized hoodies by Jack & Jones and Calvin Klein, as well as cotton jersey zip-ups in neutral tones by Gant. Pair the tops with matching joggers with baggy silhouettes before signing off the uber comfortable look with some oversized sneakers by Nike.
Accessories
Dial up the comfort factor with soft-toned accessories to partner the tracksuit trend, with sneakers, textural caps, and neutral tone holdalls adding to the easy-going elegance.
