Men’s Fashion Trends 2024: 12 Style Moves to Make This Year

By avi maxwel / in , , , , , /

Though in a cosmic sense there’s no real difference between 11:59 on December 31st and 12:01 on January 1st, we swan dive into the new year with the belief that change is good, and that the biggest menswear trends of 2024 are meant to be invented, not decreed. Once Andy Cohen’s voice stops ringing in your ears and the champagne hangover wears off, you can get down to the business of deciding what sartorial upgrades, shimmies, and experiments you’d like to try on for size over the next 12 months. And us? We’re here to give you some ideas.

To that end, we polled the GQ staff—self-voted as the most stylish content squad in the northern hemisphere for 64 65 years running—to predict what we think will break out in the world of men’s style in 2024. Some of these predictions will blossom from seeds that we’ve already seen sprouting the last few months; some come from peering into the menswear crystal ball (which is easier to do when you’ve been sitting front-row at fashion shows and sending notes from the frontlines).

Take a look, take what you like, and leave the rest. Just make sure you tag us when

7 Fall 2023 Fashion Trends to Shop Now

By avi maxwel / in , , , /

The dog days of summer are here, and while that means lapping up our time in the sun (with good hats and sun protection obvs), lazy days wearing linen sets and doubling up on the crochet, it also means we are headed to the most exciting time of year for getting dressed: fall. Autumn’s crisp temperatures give way to ample opportunities for accessorizing (hello boots and scarves), rich colors and textures, and oh the difference a good jacket or coat could make for an already amazing outfit.

With that comes a chance to play with the trends we saw head down the runway in February. And the 2023 fall fashion trends are nothing to scoff at. Here, 7 of our favorite trends straight from the runways to shop now for Fall 2023.

Prep Is Back

In the age of stealth wealth and the low key rich bitch dressing essentials, it is only natural that prep—and its adjacent classic stylings—should come roaring back into fashion. Some may argue they never left. Sportswear and the preppy athletic activities that come with them are exceedingly popular, as the tailored tweeds, classic cable knit sweaters, and timeless pieces like loafers.

Best Credit Cards For Online Shopping of August 2023

By avi maxwel / in , , , , /

The average online shopper in the U.S. spends over $5,300 annually, according to a study by Insider Intelligence, so if you’re not using the right credit card for your purchases, you’re potentially missing out on valuable rewards and protections.

There is no “right” credit card for every situation, but there are better cards for certain categories of online shopping. One card may earn bonus points, miles or cash back at a specific retailer like Amazon, while another may earn extra rewards for food delivery. It’s also important to consider a card’s built-in coverages like purchase protection and extended warranty, especially when making larger purchases.

To help you make the best decision and maximize your purchases, CNBC Select has the details on the best credit cards for online shopping. (See our methodology for more information on how we choose the best cards.)

The Hot List: 20 Must-Have Pieces, According to Instagram’s Favorite Fashion Sourcer

By avi maxwel / in , , , , , , , /

In the coming weeks and months, our wardrobes will start the transitional shift, making way for the warmer months ahead. With the start of a new season, new trends follow suit—and with every new trend, come a whole lot of new #sourcedbygw requests. This month, I’ve shifted the focus towards spring. No more coats or winter boots, we’re now wholeheartedly focused on pops of color, mini bucket bags (let’s give a very warm welcome to the recently-launched Loewe Pebble), and of course, plenty of raffia.

With all that said, even though I’m writing this from Los Angeles and for the U.S. market, my clientele is global and may be entering into a different season. No matter where you’re reading this, whether it be down under (hi to all my Australians!) or anywhere else on the globe, I’ve wanted to ensure that my selects can resonate with you all and have strived to include a little something for everyone.

Without any further ado, let’s jump into this month’s list.

Worn by Kylie Jenner at Jacquemus’ Spring 2024 fashion show, the requests for this mini red dress style have been going strong over the past week. The draping on

Duchess Sophie sparks controversy in striking fit-and-flare dress to mark royal firs

By avi maxwel / in , , , , , , , , , /

The Duchess of Edinburgh marked a royal first on Monday, as she became the first royal to touch down in Ukraine since the start of the Russian invasion. 

Sophie, 59, travelled to the country to demonstrate solidarity with the women, men and children impacted by the war and in a continuation of her work to champion survivors of conflict-related sexual violence.

It comes as no surprise the Duchess reigned supreme in the style department for her poignant visit.

Dressing in a head-turning ensemble, the wife of Prince Edward chose to wear a cotton midi-dress from royally-loved brand, Etero. The bold number was emblazoned with a striking floral print and contrasting black panels. 

Featuring a collared neckline, a fitted waist and flared skirt that cascaded into a ruffled, tiered hemline, the dress is easily one of the boldest new additions to the Duchess of Edinburgh’s wardrobe in years.
