    New York Fashion Week's Autumn/Winter 2024 presentations have concluded, and fashion enthusiasts have already transitioned to London for its fashion showcase. With a diverse lineup of over 65 designers, ranging from established names like Willy Chavarria, Eckhaus Latta, and Laquan Smith to emerging talents such as Ludovic de Saint Sernin, Jane Wade, and Colleen Allen, the event provided a glimpse into the upcoming trends in the fashion industry.

    During this edition of New York Fashion Week, menswear took center stage with several noteworthy trends. Protective garments, including bulletproof vests and helmets, made a strong statement on the runways of Jane Wade, PUMA, and Helmut Lang. Designers like LUAR, Ludovic de Saint Sernin, and LaQuan Smith championed the allure of sheer shirting. Many collections exuded a serene vibe, with a notable emphasis on practical wearability emerging as a standout trend for numerous brands. Structured tailoring played a defining role in formalwear, with influencers like Chavarria and Thom Browne leading the way, while neckties underwent a transformation into a cool and casual accessory on a broad scale.

    In summary, Hypebeast has compiled a list of the five major menswear trends that took center stage at New York Fashion Week FW24.

    Numerous Fall 2024 collections from New York designers prioritized safety, featuring ready-to-wear ensembles and accessories designed to provide protection to the wearer.

    A noteworthy example was Peter Do's second collection for Helmut Lang, titled "Protection vs. Projection," which incorporated key design elements focused on safeguarding the wearer. Utilizing a novel silk bubble-wrap textile with bulletproof reinforcements, vests, bomber jackets, and trousers were crafted to shield against potential harm. Wool coats and padded nylon puffers featured precautionary head coverings, humorously noted by Do as "hair-friendly." Knitwear resembled astronaut suits with padded layers.

    Ludovic de Saint Sernin's models carried daggers, and some wore tightly-knotted leather headpieces or BDSM-inspired harnesses for added protection. PUMA adopted a sportswear approach, introducing large bowling bags, face-shielding sunglasses, and body-covering silhouettes that zipped up around the head. Biker helmets served a functional purpose.

    Willy Chavarria's "Safe From Harm" collection used veils for protection, with pieces taking a more figurative approach to the danger-defying aesthetic. Jane Wade also contributed with skull-grabbing headpieces and bulky helmets, showcasing the city's fashion preparedness for potential threats.

    On a different note, sheer shirting emerged as a prominent trend during New York Fashion Week. Designers like Ludovic de Saint Sernin showcased backless tops adorned with Robert Mapplethorpe's flower motifs, while LUAR incorporated animalistic patterns on black sheer tops. LaQuan Smith added an elegant touch to the trend with barely-buttoned formal shirts and thin scarves, while Willy Chavarria offered a sportier take by using sheer tops as underlayers for athletic tracksuits, accessorized with massive gold cross chains. Despite the upcoming colder weather, the runways signaled a preference for more daring top designs among male clientele.
