From earth tones to plaids and checks, here are 7 menswear trends that deserve to be added to your wardrobe.

Urban Revivo Spring/Summer 2024.

Men's fashion has been having a moment with the classic varsity style, so the progression to schoolboy-inspired looks was inevitable. The trend brings a nostalgic charm and features elements such as tailored jackets, crisp button-downs, pleated trousers, and loafers. Bench and Urban Revivo put a contemporary spin on these pieces with unexpected color combinations, as well as by experimenting with textures and fabrics.

Gabbie Sarenas Spring/Summer 2024.

A striking trend from the runways were co-ords in vibrant colors and eye-catching patterns. Designers Le Ngok and Nicol&ograve; embraced bold hues like electric blue, citrus yellow, and more while Gabbie Sarenas went another route by way of detailed embroidery. The juxtaposition of bright colors and dynamic patterns injects personality into menswear, making a bold statement when worn.

Round cut-outs are usually a whimsical detail in menswear, but they can also be sophisticated when done right. Le Ngok and Nicol&ograve; both played with placement, size, and techniques to create visual interest. Whether subtly incorporated into a minimalist silhouette or used as a focal point of a statement piece, round cut-outs offer a playful twist on traditional tailoring, elevating menswear with a touch of fun.

Joey Samson Spring/Summer 2024.

From diaphanous outerwear to lightweight tops, Joey Samson and Nicol&ograve; embraced sheer fabrics like chiffon, organza, and more to create ethereal and daring looks. The male form was highlighted by layering sheer garments for a multidimensional effect or incorporating sheer panels for strategic glimpses of skin. By doing so, designers challenged conventional notions of masculinity and style.

Human Spring/Summer 2024.

Denim on denim made a triumphant return on the trend radar, reaffirming its status as a timeless menswear staple. The rugged charm of denim was made even more evident with the use of different washes, textures, and silhouettes for a cohesive double-denim look. Bench, Nicol&ograve;, and more explored various combinations to create contemporary interpretations of this trend&mdash;casual for everyday wear or elevated for a more polished ensemble.

Jo Ann Bitagcol Spring/Summer 2024.

Earth tones dominated the color palette at Bench Fashion Week. From warm neutrals like sandy beige and camel to rich earthy shades such as olive green and terracotta brown, Joey Samson and Jo Ann Bitagcol embraced nature-inspired hues that evoke a sense of groundedness and tranquility.

Plaids and checks appeared on the runway, but not in the heritage-inspired way that we know them. Tartan and gingham were made more contemporary as Jo Ann Bitagcol and Joey Samson explored a variety of plaids and checks in different scales, colors, and fabrics. When adopting the trend, mix the pattern with unexpected elements for a modern twist.
