Adjusting to virtual men’s fashion shows hasn’t been easy, but we’re finding the silver linings. There’s been no air travel, for starters, which is good for the planet and our stress levels, and we have zero anxiety over what to wear. In the comfort of our apartments, we can just as well peruse the spring 2021 “shows” in our pajamas. Vogue Runway has covered the couture and men’s collections as close to “normally” as possible, often via Zoom interviews, but there’s a huge part of our coverage we can’t replicate remotely: street style. This is Phil Oh’s first summer off in years, and we’re missing out on hundreds of photos he might have taken outside Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Rick Owens, and more.
It doesn’t help that some of the best street style happens at men’s Fashion Week. Part of it comes down to the fact that menswear is still pretty low-key, with fewer shows and generally less noise. As Phil Oh told us last year, most guys still wear their own clothes too; you’ll see stars and influencers in borrowed or gifted looks, but compared to ready-to-wear and couture, it’s far less frequent. Men’s fashion has lately been buoyed by a few star designers too, namely Virgil Abloh at Off-White and Louis Vuitton, and Kim Jones at Dior Men. They have different skills and points of view, but they share one thing in common: an understanding of what guys (and girls) really, actually want to wear. They’re pushing fashion further away from its ideals of elitism and exclusivity and are finding much of their inspiration on “real people” on the street.
In fact, many of this summer’s big trends started on the street. Combing through our archive of photos by Phil Oh and Gianluca Senese, it becomes strikingly clear that the best menswear designers aren’t creating new collections in ivory towers surrounded by art and books; they’re studying what their customers are wearing and responding accordingly. Designers didn’t start making fanny packs until guys got in the habit of wearing them across their chests, for instance, and the same is true of abbreviated shorts (previously something of a taboo in menswear), camp-collar shirts, and—most surprisingly of all—crystals and embellishments. In the absence of new street style photos, we’ve charted five street style trends and their runway glow-ups. Scroll through them all, below.
