Bright colours dominated Men’s Fashion Week – here’s what to shop


This year started with its most fashionable foot forward, as both Paris and Milan showcased the trends that are in-store for menswear this winter. While sharps suits, chic coats and cowboy boots all came through as key pieces, bright and bold colours livened up the lot.

Of course, styling with standout shades is nothing new. Barbie pink became fashion’s fixation last summer, Bottega green (or Kermit green, as it became known to many) got heaps of attention a few seasons ago, and deep, dark reds came through as a key shade for coquette styling, which took over Instagram feeds late last year.

This time around, it seems it’s much less about specific shades and much more about creating interest through vibrant pops of colour. So, whatever hue you have your eye on is sure to work wonders.

Prada, for example, has added interest to traditional tailoring through brightly coloured beanies. Loewe opened its autumn/winter 24 menswear show with two colourful coats (one orange, one green), and JW Anderson picked out purples, yellows and reds to brighten up the runway through oversized red blazers, cardigans and jerseys.

So, taking the trend straight from the runway and into our wardrobes, we’ve rounded up some of our favourite colourful cops, from the high street to high-end labels, that are sure to liven up any outfit.
