SS25 Menswear Accessory Key Items: Loafers, duffle bags and baseball caps

The SS25 menswear buying season has begun, starting with London, June 7-9. Then comes the Pitti Uomo trade fair and Milan Men’s Fashion Week, followed by Paris Men’s Fashion Week. In addition to summer-weight tailoring, expect to see updated preppy looks, Western details and vintage athletic stylings, sometimes even in mash-ups. All of these trends lend themselves to maximal accessorizing. Here are some key items:
Jewelry: silver or gold chain bracelets, charm necklaces and stone bracelets.
Eyewear: classic ‘wayfarer’ frames and aviators.
Headgear: baseball caps, Western/cowboy hats and straw Panama hats.
Neckwear: bandanas, skinny ties and skinny scarves.
Bags: carryalls, duffle bags, gym bags, backpacks and fanny packs.
Footwear: penny loafers, tassel loafers, fisherman’s sandals and premium sneakers.

Socks: mid-calf white ribbed socks, either plain or with athletic detailing.
For merchandising ideas, we can take inspiration from coordinated looks in recent runway collections, and male attendees in Paris and at the Pitti Uomo trade fair.
