Men’s Autumn Fashion For 2024 – Trends & Autumn Outfits That Look Stylish

There’s no doubt that Autumn is a great season when it comes to what to wear, trends and outfits for men.

It’s the season when it starts to get colder in the UK, and in the run up to a full on winter, there’s no better time than to layer up with some fashionable choices when it comes to your clothes.

Here’s some tips on what to wear this autumn, as well as the trends that are going to be popular this season.

Laying Up For Autumn

When it comes to autumn, one key trend that’s ever present year on year is layering. You can wear some of the same clothes as the previous season, but you’ll want to wear them in combination with other pieces.

That means layering. Wearing t-shirts with open-shirts, pairing long sleeve shirts with jackets, and wearing jumpers over shirts.

One of the big differences in what to wear in autumn is that you’re almost certainly going to wear a jacket. Layering with a jacket is going to be an every day essential, so picking out a good one is important.

Bomber Jackets For Autumn

Around about September it’s a big time for a transitional wardrobe. Usually it’s still too warm for a winter coat, which leaves you with a few options in terms of jackets.

There’s no doubt that one of my favourites has to be a bomber jacket.

Easy to wear, there’s a huge range of different styles available, from the casual to smart-casual and even something a little smarter again.

Once the temperatures start to plummet near the end of the season you might want to opt for something a bit more substantial, but for the start of Autumn, there’s no better option.

I have styled my navy Jaeger bomber with a white T-shirt, two easy to wear pieces for right now.

Overcoat

When it’s starts to get a bit colder in the Autumn, you’ll want a bigger coat with some style.

This is where the Overcoat comes in. They really do have that autumnal feel to them.

Overcoats have been fashionable for a number of years, and there’s a large choice available right now.

The most popular colours are navy, camel, black and grey. I’ve had mine for years, and I love my camel overcoat so much, I bought a navy overcoat too.

If you’re feeling brave and want to go for something more bold, a check pattern overcoat is incredibly stylish.

Above I’ve styled my navy overcoat which I got from Massimo Dutti with a grey sweatshirt from ARKET. It’s a great colour combination to wear for autumn that’s really easy for any guy to pull off.

If you’re looking for a stylish coat for going out, the overcoat is the perfect choice. It will elevate your outfit and have you looking incredibly smart for all occasions.

Sweatshirts & Hoodies

The ultimate in laid back casual style, a good sweatshirt is a must have this Autumn. For a men’s casual autumn outfit for winter, this is a key piece of clothing.

There’s two options you can go for, the standard sweatshirt or a hoodie.

Whichever you choose, you’re going to look the part. If you’re into the a more relaxed style, sweats are the way to go.

They’ve also gained in popularity in recent times, where casual clothing has reigned supreme once again. For a smarter edge, opt for a plain sweatshirt in a staple colour.

This is my preferred choice which balances out the relaxed nature of the sweat and I can create a smarter look.

Sweatshirts are a good alternative to jumpers if you don’t like the feel of wool. Hoodies give off a more casual vibe, and are usually worn in a more relaxed setting.

Jumpers & Knitwear

How have I made it this far into the article without mentioning possibly the key piece of the season. Knitwear.

Autumn and knitwear go hand-in-hand, and wearing a fine piece of knitwear will have you looking stylish no matter what you choose.

When it’s time for a smart casual outfit, it’s hard to go wrong with a jumper and other knitwear. There’s a whole host of options available, which I’ll get into here.

Fabrics such as wool, cotton and a mix, and styles include round neck and V-neck.

It is the season for jumpers, so you can’t go wrong in wearing one. A V-neck will need to be layered, but you can get away with wearing a round neck on it’s own, or choose to layer that too.

Muted colours such as olive make for a good alternative, and you can always stick to the staple colours, with navy and grey being good choices.

You can consider a jumper a good investment. Get yourself a 100% wool knit rather than a mix or man made. These tend to be more expensive, but will last for years.

Cashmere Jumper

Invest in a good cashmere jumper, you’ll not be disappointed. If you’re wondering is cashmere worth it, I can honestly say it is.

If you’re going to have one luxury piece of clothing for autumn, a cashmere jumper is one of the best to consider.

They’ve got that rich luxurious feel, and never go out of fashion. They do cost more, but as this is an investment piece it will be worth that extra money.

I have a few different ones, from different brands including this red one from Jaeger I got years ago. You can check out the high street options from places like H&M, M&S and Unique which offer 100% cashmere for around the £120 – £150.

They’re not super cheap, but a wardrobe staple that should last for years.

Cashmere is the most expensive option when it comes to a knit, but they are worth it. If there’s one thing that makes you feel luxurious, it’s a cashmere sweater.

Roll Neck Knits

Roll neck jumpers aka turtle necks are still in fashion, and offer an alterative to your standard knit.

I got a few over the years, including this grey one you can see above from H&M. I didn’t want to invest too heavily as I was just experimenting with them, but as you can see, they’re still popular today.

The good thing about a roll neck is that you can wear something underneath without anyone knowing.

They’re easy to wear, come in a lot of colours and look effortlessly stylish.

Check Shirts For Autumn

If you’re looking to layer a shirt in a casual way, wearing a check shirt is one way of going about it.

Wearing a check shirt open or even closed and layering with a plain coloured tee will make sure you’re looking on point while not being old.

My check shirt above is from Mango MAN, and I love it. Blue, green and white checks work perfectly together, and I’ve layered it with a white t-shirt.

The Best Jeans For Autumn

Summer is over, it’s time to put away the light washes of denim away and get something darker.

The perfect jeans for Autumn are black denim. They’re dark and always stylish, and will go well with every colour you’re likely to wear in autumn.

When it comes to black jeans, you can dress them up as well as down, and make a great base for any outfit.

I have a few pair including a few from Nudie Jeans, a good denim brand.

Indigo blue are a good colour too, but there’s just something about black that’s always stylish and can be worn in combination with so many clothes in your autumn wardrobe.

The Best Chinos For Autumn

Chinos are another good option for the lower half of your body.

If you want something which is a little smarter than jeans but isn’t formal, chinos is what you’ll want.

One of the best things about chinos are the number of colours they come in.

For Autumn, you can opt for a beige or olive colour as an alternative to jeans. Read my guide to chinos here.

One of my favourite go-to brands for chinos over the years has been Mango. I love their 5 pocket chinos which are hard to get these days, but worth getting if you can find them.

Footwear For Autumn

When it comes to footwear, Autumn is a good season for boots.

Do you go for Chelsea or chukka boots? Maybe you’ll want both. Chukka boots are more preferable for a casual setting. They can be worn for work or for everyday wear.

Chelsea boots can be reserved for smarter occasions, such as going out or if you just want to look your best around town.

Both a chukka and Chelsea boot make a good alternative to a shoe or trainer. If you’re looking to add a new dimension to your outfits, try a pair of boots.

It’s not all boots when it comes to the best footwear for autumn for men. I absolteuly love to wear my brogues, as you can see from above.

Brown brogues for autumn are a brilliant pair of casual shoes you can wear for a night out, during the day or any other time.
