Loafers, Techwear, and 13 More Style Moves Men Swear By

Updated on June 16, 2025 by TMM Staff · Clothing and Style

Flashy logos are fading. Men are gravitating toward quiet luxury, minimalist fashion with high quality fabrics, clean silhouettes, and timeless design. Think tailored trousers, crisp white shirts, and well made loafers. It’s confidence without the need for attention.

Grooming Routines Get Smarter

Men are embracing grooming tools powered by tech. Smart razors, LED acne devices, and skin analyzing apps are reshaping self care. These products take the guesswork out of routines and make grooming more precise and personal.

Earth Tones Dominate Summer Style

Bold brights are out, and grounded colors are in. Earth tones like terracotta, olive, and sand are everywhere this summer. They pair well with neutrals, flatter most skin tones, and offer a mature, refined alternative to louder palettes.

Functional Fabrics Take Over

Techwear isn’t just for hikers anymore. Moisture wicking polos, UV protective shirts, and stretch chinos are now office appropriate. These fabrics look sharp but keep you cool and comfortable in hot, humid months.

The Return of the Mustache

Facial hair trends are cycling back. The mustache is making a strong comeback, often worn alone or paired with subtle stubble. To pull it off, keep it neat and intentional. A quality trimmer and beard oil go a long way.

Small Accessories, Big Impact

Men are learning that less is more with accessories. Think slim watches, woven belts, or a single silver chain. These small touches signal personal style without overwhelming your outfit. It’s about thoughtful details, not stacking trends.

Heat Proof Your Hair Game

Summer humidity calls for smarter hair moves. More men are switching to matte finish products, sea salt sprays, and short textured cuts that can handle sweat and wind. Talk to your barber about low maintenance styles that still look polished.

Tech Integrated Clothing Is Here

From shirts that track your posture to socks with temperature regulation, fashion, and tech are merging fast. While still emerging, these innovations are set to reshape how men dress with function built into every layer.

Wellness Isn’t Just Gym Time

Men in 2025 are redefining health to include mindfulness, recovery, and mental clarity. Apps like Breathwrk and Whoop bands are helping track stress and sleep alongside workouts. A healthier body starts with a more balanced mindset.

Loafers Beat Sneakers This Summer

Sleek leather or suede loafers are edging out white sneakers in the summer style game. They pair just as easily with shorts or trousers and instantly elevate casual fits. Slip ons feel easy but signal intent.

SPF Is the Grooming MVP

The one product every man needs this summer? Sunscreen. Daily SPF isn’t optional anymore. Go for a lightweight, matte finish formula that won’t clog pores or leave a greasy shine. It’s the simplest way to protect and preserve your skin.

Analog Hobbies Are Back in Style

From vinyl records to woodworking kits, hands on hobbies are rising as men seek digital breaks. These offline passions offer both relaxation and identity. Bonus: they make you more interesting than just another guy on his phone.

High Low Dressing Works Harder

Mixing tailored pieces with casual ones, like pairing a blazer with sneakers or drawstring trousers with a crisp tee, isn’t lazy, it’s strategic. This mashup creates style flexibility that works from weekend to meeting with minimal changes.

Fragrance Gets Seasonal and Subtle

Men are opting for lighter, fresher scents in warmer weather. Citrus, marine, and green notes replace heavy woods and spices. Apply sparingly to pulse points. A well chosen summer fragrance leaves a better impression than any outfit.

Style That Moves With Your Life

The best style trend in 2025? Personalization. Men are investing in items that work across settings, tech gear that blends with casual wear, skincare that fits the climate, and clothes that feel like you, not a trend. Choose what serves your lifestyle, not the algorithm.
