Black on Black

Black is a favourite hue for many thanks to its timeless appeal; you can never go wrong by incorporating a black item into your ensemble. This season, fashion titans reinforce this idea. Brands like Giorgio Armani, Acne Studios, and Hermès embrace full-on monochrome, experimenting with textures and prints instead of colours—a testament to the hue’s adaptability.

Handbags

Crossbody bags, bum bags, backpacks, and suitcases no longer exhaust the options for men's bags—add handbags to the mix and you're nearly there. This season's iterations are clean, leather-based, and understated, leaning towards unisex appeal rather than bold reinvention. Whether carried by men or women, their streamlined design makes them a natural extension of contemporary style.
