Menswear trends SS23: Prep School


For the SS23 menswear season the ‘preppy’ look once again received a new
twist: less Ivy League, more ‘sport & street’. Colors ran the gamut,
from pale pastels at Rhude, and neons at MSGM to burgundy and black at
Dries Van Noten. Key items and accents included cable knit sweaters,
bermuda shorts and collegiate lettering. As with the women’s
collections last season, ties made a comeback. Here are the ten best
looks from Paris and Milan.

During Paris Fashion Week, Alexandre Mattiussi showed a mash-up of
American prepster style and Parisian cool. For example, look 17
consisted of a classic navy and white striped ringer tee and short
white shorts under a windcheater with flap pockets. A baseball hat,
socks and sandals completed the look.

For his second collection for Kenzo, shown in Paris, Nigo said he’d
used the concept of a ‘passing out ceremony,’ inspired by one of
Kenzo Takada’s 1980’s shows which was based on the idea of a school’s
sports day. For look 22 he showed a two-button seersucker blazer in
green blue and yellow stripes, yellow and red striped Bermudas, marled
knit odd socks and fringed white loafers.
