This menswear season was bigger than usual thanks to a particular confluence of events. Vogue World: Paris closed out the week of shows, immediately followed by the couture shows, which means that the City of Light was teeming with stylish guests. It was a good problem to have—at least for our street style photographers and social media managers, who had no shortage of content to capture—but it presented a conundrum for attendees who needed to up the ante to stand out among the crowd. This may have been the reason why, at the spring 2025 menswear shows, street stylers zeroed in on statement pieces—from bold belts to fancy pants and cowboy hats.
But not everyone took a maximalist approach to their street style game. Designers, rarely ones to dress to call attention to themselves, were seen outside the shows in their usual uniform of button-down shirts, jeans, and beanies. Others, like Emily Ratajkowski, indulged in a little bit of cosplay (she cosplayed as Art Donaldson from Challengers). Who knew that a baby pink shirt is all you need to win over the girl or guy of your dreams—or in this case, the photographers outside the shows. Scroll through for the nine best street style trends of the spring 2025 menswear season.
The Cowboys Are in Town
Perhaps it was the influence of Pharrell’s last cowboy-themed Louis Vuitton show, or show attendees’ obsession with Beyoncé. Either way, it was the cowboys who won the week.
