SS23 Men: Pants

Versatile Styles on the radar!

 

For trousers SS23 sees a balance between Y2K-inspired baggy styles and more timeless classics with a preppy undertone. While the most fashionable client might adapt new masculine 70s crops or extreme 00s baggies, the commercial majority can opt for casual tailoring, carpenter cargos and leisurely pull-on linen pants. Comfort and fluid fits are essential. For shorts a distinct active influence is pushing stylish basketball Bermudas and youthful swimming trunks  into new upgraded aesthetics. Further gorpcore-driven cargos are now fusing with a cleaner style and propose a modernist edge. With regards to search rates we can see how tailored styles keep a yearly growth of +50%, flared styles à la Harry styles increase by surprising +70%, cargos build on their success with +100% and linen also raises bigger interest with +40%.

The data in the report shows the search increase on the product year on year on e-com.

For upcoming summer assortments, cargos and wide leg styles are the hottest products to drive sales. With neutral palettes or neutral shades, such styles will fuse into the important harmonies for SS23. Building narratives around hybrid styles will show to be essential for any successful range that can adapt to modern lifestyles of consumers. Some delicate details are coming in focus as a womenswear favorite of previous seasons, the slit, is moving into menswear and adding a gentle upgrade to classic tailored pant styles. Colorful options are another trending alternative for next summer, still playing on the dopamine trend of this season but adding a rather bold and confident note.
