Sports jerseys have solidified their place in the fashion landscape, moving beyond just sportswear. For those who appreciate the sporty aesthetic and the blokecore trend, this is welcome news. However, Street Fashion Men in style capitals like New York and Paris are pushing these trends further, offering sophisticated upgrades.
To refine your street style, consider two key approaches. Firstly, move beyond mainstream sports like football and basketball. NFL and baseball jerseys are emerging as fresh choices, seen prominently in New York. Secondly, explore fashion-forward interpretations of sportswear. In Paris, we observed pieces inspired by athletic codes, such as Louis Vuitton’s elevated football shirt and New Era’s Lakers-themed football jersey. The crucial styling tip? Avoid overwhelming your look with too much sports merchandise at once.

Cargo Shorts: A Street Style Staple
For street fashion men, cargo shorts remain relevant beyond the warmer months. Despite the cooling temperatures, cargo shorts emerged as a key piece during fashion month. Their versatility was evident in various stylish ensembles. Paired with tall socks and warm outerwear like jackets and knitwear for colder days, or with button-down shirts and caps when the sun appeared, they proved to be an adaptable foundation for numerous excellent outfits.
Street style trends indicated a preference for longer, over-the-knee cuts and a looser, baggier silhouette in cargo shorts. Neutral tones like brown and beige were favored for a classic appeal. And when it comes to pockets, the mantra is: the more, the better.

The Neckerchief: A Subtle Style Upgrade
What do cowboys and impeccably dressed fashion editors at runway shows share? It’s not a Wild West showdown, but rather an affinity for the neckerchief. Across Pitti Uomo and Milan Fashion Week, cotton bandanas were spotted adorning the necks of show attendees, peeking from beneath suits and layered over simple cotton T-shirts. This accessory offers a low-effort yet high-impact styling opportunity, customizable to endless degrees. For a vibrant touch (and to tap into the red trend!), opt for a brightly colored neckerchief to inject dimension into understated looks for street fashion men.
In Florence, during Pitti Uomo, neckerchiefs styled under open shirts and jackets were prevalent. Meanwhile, the Milanese fashion crowd favored tucking them into knit polos. Regardless of your chosen approach, it’s generally advised to avoid pairing them with chaps for a modern street style look.
