In recent years, men’s fashion has been given a major boost with the help of accessories that help people more easily express themselves.

Menswear Brands to Look Out for During New York Fashion Week’s Spring 2024 Season

August 22, 2023 by Leave a Comment

With the summer season ending, plenty of brands are bringing out new and exciting collections that will be showcased during New York Fashion Week (NYFW) spring 2024 season. Both new and emerging designers are showing their spring 2024 collections. Each brand has an intrinsic style that captures what makes NYFW special and unique. Fashion Reverie has selected seven menswear and non-binary brands that are some of the most innovative and interesting to look out for.

Streetwear-centric brands are taking over the fashion industry, with looks coming from influencers, artists, athletes, and other fashion lovers on a global scale. Consumers have gotten a taste for unique and creative pieces from names like Who Decides War, Jason Wu and more in past seasons. However, this season is showcasing signature looks that have been expanded and innovated upon. From Palomo Spain and Private Policy to emerging designers like Love, Kelly (Kelly Butts-Spirito) making his brand’s debut at NYFW, these designers are pushing the message of breaking away from conforming to societal regulations and developing your own self-expression.

The style of these clothes can help consumers achieve a greater sense of freedom thanks to the way each piece is designed. These brands are inspired by their community and where the designers got their footing, all while being progressive and fashion forward.

Dion Lee

Dion Lee is an Australian-American designer whose brand is all about high-end downtown looks. Each of his silhouettes features a way for the consumer to transform into an alter-ego, where they can unlock their fullest and most trusting form through individualism and expression. For example, in his fall 2023 collection, each garment was beautifully presented with experimental tailoring, resulting in a unique and powerfully simple approach to both men’s and women’s fashion.

Lee likes to experiment with ready-to-wear design that has subtlety, texture, and sculptured silhouettes. His fall collection featured some iconic men’s wear: blown-up puffer jackets, see-through shirts styled with shoulder-padded jackets and leather jackets paired with shredded jeans. It will be exciting to see what his spring 2024 collection holds.

Love, Kelly      

Creative director turned fashion designer Kelly Butts-Spirito is producing his first ever New York Fashion Week runway show. The garments are said to be simple and futuristic, distinguished by three different themes that represent important moments in his life. The show will feature three short film pieces and a collection of clothing for each movie. Each garment is made with different materials and will be a mixture of streetwear and high-end fashion.

Palomo Spain

Designer Alejandro Gómez Palomo is returning to NYFW. Palomo brings out the best of who he is by shedding light on his queer exuberance in a way that adds to his exciting menswear style. His clothing is meant to represent nuanced relationships between pleasure and challenge the boundaries of politics by being inherently uncritical of what the consumer wears.

Private Policy

Last season, Private Policy, a New York-based inclusive brand, wanted the consumer to wear garments that incorporated more of nature into everyday city life. Designers Siying Qu and Haoran Li wanted the individual to share the mindset of animals who are free, with the hope of instilling within each person the idea of one day feeling that shared sense of freedom while harmonizing people through a connection with nature. At the end of the day, we can expect to see a lot more creativity and uses of expression with their upcoming spring 2024 collection. Consumers should expect to see a collection that includes fashion built for those who appreciate this ever-changing industry.

Gypsy Sport  

Gypsy Sport, the streetwear brainchild of LA-based designer Rio Uribe, is finally back in the spotlight after missing NYFW in 2020 and the pandemic years that followed. It comes after having their 10-year anniversary last February. The collection is aimed at celebrating his youthfulness and cultural background. Uribe’s streetwear truly helps him to stay connected with his Chicano cultural heritage and is a huge inspiration for each of his pieces. Viewers of his upcoming NYFW show can expect traits of his background to manifest in his collection.

Who Decides War

Everard Best created Who Decides War, a brand with unique clothing for all genders, including specialized jeans, shirts, and sweatshirts. The brand is paying its respects to the Big Apple while celebrating NYC hip-hop icons through personal expression with each collection. The brand’s pieces are truly eye-catching and include showstopping shirts that are paired with distressed jeans and embroidered puffer jackets. Elements of dimension, metallics, leather, patchwork and windowpane silhouettes are featured. Be on the lookout for this brand during NYFW to see what they have in store for spring 2024.

Men’s Grooming Tips: Keep Your Moustache Healthy and Stylish

August 17, 2023 by 1 Comment

A well-groomed mustache is more than just facial hair; it is a powerful expression of your personal style, confidence, and how you carry yourself. That’s why it is important to keep it in good shape and invest in the care and grooming of your moustache.

Also, consider that as we are quickly moving into the end of the summer season, fall and winter season is just around the corner. Now is the time to start grooming your moustache to match those stylish fall/winter fashions.

However, achieving a healthy and stylish mustache will require consistent care and attention.  A great moustache is not just about aesthetics, it’ about keeping your hair healthy and nurturing the health of the skin beneath it. 

If you are someone who’s constantly looking for ways to enhance the appearance and overall health of your mustache, your search ends here. In this article, Fashion Reverie covers everything related to an in-depth care routine for your mustache. 

Don’t Forget Morning Wash 

If you want to keep your mustache looking healthy and fresh throughout the day, it’s best to start your day by treating your mustache with a gentle cleanse. In this regard, you can use a specialized beard or mustache wash to make it smoother and healthier. 

Just make sure to avoid harsh regular shampoos that can strip away natural oils. The right cleanser will help remove product buildup, any dirt, or sweat buildup that may have accumulated overnight, and promotes the growth of healthy hair and the skin beneath.

Use High-Quality Mustache Wax 

Choosing the right mustache wax is crucial for maintaining a healthy and stylish mustache. After you have washed and cleaned your face, apply a high-quality mustache wax. The perfect way to use the wax is to first apply its small amount onto your fingertips. Now rub them together to soften it and work it through your mustache. 

While rubbing it onto the mustache, focus on shaping the ends and any area that needs extra hold, like the bottom part. Wax applied through this way will help you achieve the desired style while promoting the health and vitality of your mustache. 

There’s one more you first take care of and that is, look for a mustache wax made from natural ingredients like beeswax or shea butter, and no harsh chemicals. A wax made from these ingredients not only provides a strong hold but also offers conditioning benefits.

Brush and Detangle 

Detangling is advised to style your mustache and keep your hair from getting messier. First of all, make sure to trim and style it regularly. Also, use a mustache comb or a soft-bristle brush to gently detangle and brush your mustache. 

Don’t just brush once in a day and expect better results. Do it at least twice a day because this practice helps distribute the natural oils produced by your skin, keeping your mustache moisturized and reducing the risk of split ends and breakage. 

And while you are brushing, ensure to brush in the direction of hair growth to avoid causing unnecessary stress on the hair follicles. A well-groomed mustache will not only look better but will also feel more comfortable and itch-free throughout the day.

These knitwear pieces are bound to add more of a foundation to your wardrobe through all seasons. Knitwear pieces are trending due to the infinite layering opportunities. Brands such as Propaganda Agency are mixing contemporary and preppy to appeal to Gen Z men as leaders in handcrafted and sustainable knitwear.

There is much more focus for spring 2023 in mixing contemporary looks with a streetwear aesthetic and style that can be paired with everyday looks. This season, we are seeing iconic names such Tommy Hilfiger and Gucci paying homage to streetwear brands like Kith. These classic brands are appealing to Gen-Z shoppers by focusing on a street-influenced and inspired direction. From luxury brands like Prada to streetwear brands like Palm Angels, knitwear is the in-trend for the spring 2023 fashion season.

Oversized knitwear sweaters and sweatpants are appealing to youth markets across the globe—and everyone should be taking notice. Mixing layering pieces to fit preppy and casual styles is widely popular in menswear, and will help bring some swagger to your personal wardrobe.

In February, Daniel Patrick, a former athlete and now fashion designer has done a recent collaboration with New York Red Bulls’ and Major League Soccer. The collaboration debuted February 9th at a launch presentation at The Venue at the Music at Hard Rock Hotel during New York Fashion Week (NYFW). 

With inspiration coming from Daniels’ favorite city, home of the New York Red bulls, the teams landed on a beautiful tye dye print that symbolizes the constant motion and energy of New York City. When creating the jerseys, Daniels wanted to create something that would fit the brand’s DNA in terms of color and detail.

The hue of colors used for the jerseys also gives a subtle nod to the cabs of New York City and coordinates with the center circle of Red Bull arena. The Adidas gear features AEROREADY technology and ventilated, mesh panels that keep you dry and comfortable all game long.  For those not aware, AEROREADY technology absorbs sweat to cool you down so you can focus on that extra mile, that extra rep, that extra push to do better than you’ve done before.
