The spring 2025 menswear season in Paris was a spectacle of style, fueled by a confluence of events – the menswear shows concluding just before the couture shows, creating a vibrant atmosphere brimming with fashion-forward guests. This abundance of style presented a challenge for those aiming to stand out amongst the crowd, prompting many to embrace statement pieces. Bold belts, eye-catching pants, and cowboy hats emerged as popular choices for creating a memorable impression.
However, not everyone embraced maximalism. Designers, known for their understated elegance, stuck to their usual uniform of button-down shirts, jeans, and beanies. Others, like Emily Ratajkowski, took inspiration from characters like Art Nicholson, demonstrating the power of a simple baby pink shirt to capture attention and win over photographers.
Here’s a closer look at the nine most prominent street style trends of the spring 2025 menswear season:
The Cowboys are in Town
Perhaps influenced by Pharrell’s last cowboy-themed Louis Vuitton show or attendees’ fascination with Beyoncé, cowboys reigned supreme this week.
Olympics on the Mind
With the summer Olympics just around the corner, street stylers have already begun showing their support for their favorite teams and sports.
Look Back at It
Business in the front, and party in the back. This trend embraced a playful juxtaposition of formality and informality.
Skinny Scarves are Back
Thanks to Sabato de Sarno, the skinny scarf made a triumphant return, adding a touch of sophistication to various outfits.
The Bold and the Belted
Taking inspiration from Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons, attendees embraced the bold belt, often worn with the buckle placed on the side.
I TOLD YA
Call it the Art Nicholson and Loewe influence, but a simple baby pink shirt proved to be a winning formula for attracting photographers.
Mr. Fancy Pants
This season, all eyes were drawn to the lower half, as street stylers showcased trousers featuring bold prints and exaggerated silhouettes.
The Makers
Rather than the usual A-list crowd of celebrities and influencers, this season saw designers taking center stage, showcasing their individual style.
