10 Top Men’s Autumn/Winter 2024 Accessories Trends

 

Every year, we watch the street style from Men’s Fashion Week, witnessing the hottest new ways to dress up an outfit. From fisherman beanies to platform shoes and layered chains, there are plenty of new ways to add a twist to your existing wardrobe, and we can’t wait to try all of them. If you need a bit of inspiration for your next outing or want to up your style game, look no further. Here are the top accessory trends we spotted at Men’s Autumn/Winter Fashion Week 2024.

 

1. Chunky Sneakers

It’s a trend that has stuck around for a few years, but we’re welcoming it back this season with open arms. Chunky sneakers are an easy way to elevate your outfit – we spotted them with wide-leg jeans and oversized coats, adding to the mammoth silhouette the footwear offers. Neutral colors work best for this accessory – think cream, camel, gray and black. Not only will these chases work well with the majority of your closet, but the classic colorway will make it a suitable piece for years to come, no matter the trend.

2. Statement Silver Pendants

Sometimes, it’s the smallest elements of an outfit that help make it spectacular, and the same can be said for a statement silver pendant. The beauty of this jewelry is its versatility – not only is it a stylish finishing touch to your look, but it’s also an easy way to express your personality. Find a pendant that speaks to you, be it a piece of art, a religious symbol, or something novelty and fun. Thanks to its cool undertone, you can wear this accessory with almost anything, such as a T-shirt and jeans, a hoodie, a sweater, and a leather jacket – it will effortlessly give a great outfit a bit of extra oomph.

3. Cross Body Belt Bags

If you’re looking for a way to conveniently store your belongings but don’t want to compromise your movement, a cross-body belt bag is the way to go. This trend returns every few decades, each cycle revolutionizing the way we wear and style these accessories. While these would traditionally be worn around your waist, this season, it’s all about strapping it across your chest like a cross-body bag. We love the leather adaptations for cooler months, and you can play with colors such as orange, mustard, or cool blue.

4. Head Scarves

It may sound surprising to some, but this season we’re ushering in head scarves. These playful accessories can be worn in a wide range of ways and will add a sense of je ne sais quoi to your outfit. Leaning into a similar shade as the rest of your outfit is an easy way to start – it doesn’t have to be the same, but a monochrome outfit looks great with a bold print or pattern. Playing with textures like wool, silk, and satin is also a great option, and if you want to throw out the rule book entirely, pick something that is completely different from your outfit’s aesthetics.

5. Black Fisherman Beanies

As the name suggests, the fisherman beanie was once worn by the men who fronted the rough seas and needed protective coverage for their heads. We’re far from those days now, but the beanie remains a firm staple in menswear. These hats are similar to a regular silhouette and made from the same materials, but they have a shallower crown and tend to sit on the top of the head, with a large, thick band that sits around your forehead. It was once a popular choice during the hipster movement, but these days, it’s a funky alternative to classic winter headwear.

6. Large Totes

We all live busy and hectic lives and require a lot of important items with us as we go. That’s why we’re so glad to see large tote bags making a comeback this season. The oversized accessory plays into proportion, which means you can go all out with added oversized clothing or keep it close to your chest with something a bit more tight-fitted. There’s a lot of freedom with this trend, so you can choose any color, texture, or pattern that speaks to you, and you’ll be set from the day – no matter where you’re going, you’ll have everything at your disposal.

7. Cool Platforms

We’re taking this trend all the way back to the early ‘70s fashion, and frankly, we love to see it. Platform shoes have been a huge trend for women for decades, but it’s a rare (and exciting) sight to see them back on the men’s accessories radar. While original inspirations hark back to David Bowie and the New York Dolls, today, you can turn to the likes of Rick Owens, Vetements, and Balenciaga for your inspiration, using hyper-masculine elements such as spikes, leather, sturdy rubber soles, and metal accents throughout the footwear. We recommend pairing them with trousers that flood at the ankle and accentuate your height or keep it gender-fluid with a skirt.

8. Funky Sunglasses

Sunglasses do so much more than just shield your eyes from the blinding sun, they also express your personality and add new layers to an already great outfit. Don’t believe me? Take a look at the funky sunnies we spotted this season, red bubble-esque silhouettes that resemble balloons, abstract and geometric shapes, and vibrant shades, we want them all. The beauty of this trend is adaptability  – you can try them with a monochrome or duo-chrome outfit, using the eyewear as a pop of color, or fuse them together with a wide-ranging palette for a complex and intriguing look.

9. Ushanka Hats

Brr, did you feel that chill? Well, if you rock an ushanka hat, you certainly won’t. Also known as trapper hats, this Russian winter accessory features flaps on the side of the hat that cover your ears and are usually lined with thick fur, which can be pinned to the top of the head if required. This headwear is a step up from the basic beanie and is instantly going to elevate your outfit, even if you’re wearing a pair of jeans and sneakers. Depending on your personal style, you can opt for something classic, such as shades of brown, black, or gray, which work well with myriad casual and smart casual outfits. But if you’re leaning towards a streetwear aesthetic, why not try a bright shade, like lime green or cherry red?

10. Layered Chain Necklaces

For the guys who want to look ahead in the fashion game but aren’t into wild or outlandish accessories, this is the perfect trend for you. Layering chain necklaces is an easy and effortless way to add a bit of extra oomph to your outfit, and it’s easy to throw on for any event. From two chains to a plethora of layered necklaces, you can mix and match your lengths to accentuate certain parts of your ensemble or keep the focus on the top half of your body. We love seeing shades of blue, pink, and green thrown with silver and gold – it adds something interesting to an already classic feel.
