An injection of color is coming to men’s fashion.

Monochromatic designs embolden Spring/Summer 2023-2024 collections at Men’s Fashion Week in London, Milan and Paris.

Cool and collected, cobalt blue emerged as a core color for casual and dress.

Bluemarble’s skate-take on its namesake color centered on cargo pockets, low-slung webbed belts and sequin-embellished cuffs. Blue leather jackets and low-rise bootcut pants added a Y2K edge to Mowalola’s comic-inspired collection.

Canaku also used black-and-white webbed grommet belts to break up its blue retro workwear-inspired set. It was also the color of choice for the Italian brand’s double-breasted suit, punctuated with novelty buttons.

JW Anderson’s torn denim set revealed oversized barcodes. Kiton kept it classic with a blue zip-up jacket. Versace opted for oversized blue suiting and workwear basics over skin-revealing bodysuits.

Arturo Obegero explored the sensual side of blue with sheer button-down shirts and coordinating trousers. Jeanne Friot presented genderless bomber jackets and shorts made with gathered satin. Marcelo Burlon County of Milan delivered a luxe loungewear look with drapey robes and drawstring pants.

Warm shades of orange heated up collections.
