Men's fashion moment may be over, but a trend lingers — a sparkly one, at that.
During the men's Spring/Summer 2024 presentations, several labels embraced shimmer and shine on the runways. Indeed, menswear's never looked so bright.
Sure, we see sequins, glitter, and other twinkling embellishments on clothes every day (it's a real hit during New Year's Eve celebrations even).
But multiple fashion houses wanting us to live out Rihanna's "Diamonds" song in style? We have a trend on our hands, one that deserves little attention.
Loewe SS24 was like the fashion-ification of Drake's lyrics "diamonds on me dancin'." Jonathan Anderson's latest collection covered sparkly twisted tops to full-fledge glitter 'fits down to the spread-toe shoes and crystalized bags.
Vetements took things up a notch with an enormous delivery of muffle-worthy sequin gowns. Elsewhere, hints of glint added pop to the massive hoodies and t-shirt dress trains.
At Dior's SS24 presentation, embellished tweed rose to the occasion, literally. Elsewhere, Eli Russell Linnetz, in his Kim Jones bag, went full-on sparkle for ERL's debut runway collection. A shimmering Lady Liberty is enough said.
Dries Van Noten made its beautifully flowing tops and trousers even more stunning with beaming treatments. Doublet didn't necessarily take the glittery route like others (very on-brand for a label that follows its own wild fashion rules). Instead, the brand presented some distressed metallic 'fits, which were shiny, nonetheless.
And true to Gucci's nature, the leader of all things glimmering and flashy naturally left us with a couple of disco ball 'fits for SS24.
No need to save the sequin for a special occasion nor put them away after NYE. It's going to be a glitter boi summer next year.
