The United Nations wants fashion marketers to do better

“Sustainable fashion” has become an umbrella term for brands aiming to protect both the environment and the workers producing garments. The term’s growing popularity may be a sign that the fashion industry, dominated by mass-produced styles that move quickly from the catwalk to store, is waking up to its role in overconsumption, waste and carbon emissions (which the UN estimates at 10 per cent of global carbon impacts). But some fashion brands are overstating the sustainability of their products, says Nikki Byrne, a director at Fashion Takes Action, an organization currently conducting a government-backed study on Canadian consumer’s attitudes and behaviors toward sustainable and circular fashion. “There’s constant misinformation and so much greenwashing,” says Byrne. “Even if they are well-meaning, the fashion marketers don’t often understand the science or why there are 50 or more certifications to verify sustainability, which can make it hard for consumers to understand what they’re buying.

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.

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

These 5 fashion trends will define 2024, according to an expert

By avi maxwel / in , , , /

New year, new looks.

While 2024 hasn’t arrived just yet, it’s never too early to get a head start on embracing fresh trends. And according to celebrity stylist Micaela Erlanger — whose extensive client list includes Lupita Nyong’o, Meryl Streep and Amal Clooney — there are plenty of standout styles in store for the year ahead, plus one she’s ready to bid goodbye.

“I think ’90s and Y2K looks aren’t totally exiting the chat, but we’re starting to see a departure from that,” Erlanger tells Page Six Style. “And that is a trend that I would love to leave behind.”

And unlike the low-rise jeans and dad sneakers of the early aughts (and 2020s), Erlanger’s picks for 2024 are sure to stand the test of time.

“I like to follow more classic, timeless styles,” says the longtime vintage lover, who recently partnered with luxury resale platform Vestiaire Collective to sell treasures from her own collection.

Below, discover (and shop) the five trends Erlanger predicts will define the year ahead.
