Technical sportswear and utility have long been staples in menswear, with anoraks, gilets, and cargo pants appearing each season. However, for Spring 2025, designers seemed to amplify these elements with technical fabrics and sports-inspired designs, creating an airy effect. Parkas at Undercover and trench coats at Homme Plissé Issey Miyake appeared to float, enhancing this airy trend.
Hermès and Dries Van Noten explored metallics reminiscent of mylar emergency blankets, while Joeone took a playful approach to translucency with looks seemingly influenced by rain-slicker materials. The movement towards packable, lightweight styles aligns with the season’s escapist theme, making these garments ideal for travel and adaptable to varying weather conditions.
