The bleak grey of late winter has us dreaming of warmer weather and what we might wear. So, for a little escapism, let’s dive into spring 2025 menswear trends. Here are seven shifts we’re seeing and seven tips to keep it current throughout the warmer months. If you haven’t already, check out our 2025 Menswear Trends for full-year predictions.
1. Light, Relaxed Tailoring: Effortless Sophistication
TL;DR – The heavily structured suits and separates of the past are making way for relaxed tailoring. Soft, unstructured blazers, wide-leg trousers, and airy fabrics represent the latest spring menswear styles.
- Linen & Cotton Blazers: Lighter, softer jackets are key this spring. Look for unlined, unstructured blazers in breezy fabrics for a refined-yet-relaxed fit. The word “blend” sometimes has a negative connotation, but blending two premium fabrics, like a linen-silk combination, is a great way to showcase complex textures in one elegant garment.
- Wide-Leg Trousers: This trend made our year-long list, so while this isn’t new, it’s here to stay for this spring. Wide-leg doesn’t have to mean baggy or ill-fitted. Properly fit, a wide-leg trouser provides flow, drape, and movement in a pair of slacks.
Style Tip: A versatile color of wide-leg trousers, like navy or beige, gives a spring wardrobe incredible range, pairing with tees, linen button-ups, and sport coats.
2. 70s-Inspired Details: Subtle Nostalgia
TL;DR – The 70s influence remains strong, but in a softer and more wearable iteration.
- Camp-Collar Shirts: Originally popular in the 1940s & 50s, this bigger collar was in again in the 70s. Now, these relaxed, short-sleeve shirts are back and work perfectly for spring’s rising temperatures. Keep an eye out for collars to get longer, flirting with that 1970s leisure suit vibe.
- Retro Patterns: We aren’t quite back to groovy paisley, but louder patterns have a place in spring fashion: Think geometric prints, warm-toned stripes, and subtle floral motifs.
Style Tip: Start small — with one 70s-influenced piece — to start. Once you’ve mastered adding in flair, go for more.
3. Textured Fabrics: Bringing Depth to Spring Outfits
TL;DR – Sheer, textured, and airy fabrics carry new spring looks for men, adding interest without heavy layering.
- Seersucker Proliferation: Texture is getting more attention. The seersucker, long popular in The South, is a great way to accentuate texture. This lightweight, puckered fabric looks great as a shirt, but you can go big with a full seersucker suit if you’re looking to emulate Derby or traditional southern fashion.
- Open-Weave Knits: Woven polos are enjoying popularity. The open-weave fabric allows for breathability while adding subtle texture. Skip an undershirt for the pool, or try a layer under for a seaside dinner.
Style Tip: Mix textured fabrics with smoother ones to create depth and visual intrigue.
4. 90s Minimalism Meets Workwear
TL;DR – The boxy side of the 90s is back — think clean, oversized silhouettes with sharp, tailored elements.
- Boxy Overshirts: We’re seeing roomier garments in lots of sub-genres of fashion. But renewed interest in 90s style means a return to boxier, spacious outer layers like chore coats and flannels. Even in warmer weather, the baggy top layer has a place. It’s a look on its own but functional for spring and summer campfires.
- Relaxed Suiting: We mentioned relaxed tailoring in our first trend. Taken to an extreme, this relaxed tailoring starts to feel like a 90s Armani vibe with enough drape to house a family.
Style Tip: A roomy overshirt adds a structured but relaxed feel to your outfit.
5. Monochrome & Tonal Dressing: Elevated Simplicity
TL;DR – Simple, single-color outfits allow for textures and fit to take center stage in popular spring looks for Men..
- Key Colors: Shades of beige, light browns, off-whites, and soft blues lead the way, especially in the quiet luxury realms.
- Seasonal Layers: Lightweight wool and linen blends keep monochrome outfits seasonally appropriate. These types of layers allow for those transition days between late winter and early spring.
Style Tip: For next level photos, consider monochromatic outfits that either complement or sharply contrast the setting.
6. The Rise of Loafers & Dress Sandals: Popular Spring Looks for Men
TL;DR – Sneakers won’t disappear, but loafers and sleek leather sandals are gaining momentum.
- Leather Penny Loafers: These shoes have been famous for decades, but you’ll see them on the feet of a much wider audience. No longer relegated to a preppy look, penny loafers are proving to be versatile and dynamic.
- Strapped Minimalist Sandals: A sophisticated warm-weather alternative to chunky slides, minimalist sandals convey a nonchalance that still feel put together.
Style Tip: Loafers aren’t just for the office. The range of clothes you can wear with loafers now is huge, so get experimental.
7. Spring Accessories: The Small Details That Matter
TL;DR – Minimalist but impactful accessories complete the look and the list of Spring 2025 Menswear Trends.
- Rings, Watches, Bracelets: The “wedding ring only” era is gone. Guys are experimenting with jewelry not only as a form of self-expression but also as a point of accentuation, where accessories draw the eye to a focal point.
- Slim & Rectangular Framed Sunglasses: While oversized and bold frames are popular, so is the inverse. Often seen in high fashion and streetwear, these frames feel sleek and minimalist, occasionally with narrow lenses and sharp, angular edges.
Style Tip: Accessories should feel like an extension of your outfit—limit to a few pieces that complement the outfit rather than layering too many.
