Volume, layers and sneakers
Streetwear Outfits for Men
Men’s streetwear is built on volume and layers: wide jeans or cargos, a boxy tee or a hoodie, and on top an overshirt, an anorak or a work jacket. The sneakers set the tone of the look.
This selection brings together real everyday streetwear looks for men: from monochrome grey or black outfits to combinations with a pop of color. They all share one thing: nothing is too tight and nothing is messy.
Three formulas to start with: wide jeans, a white boxy tee and white sneakers for every day; black cargos, a grey hoodie and an anorak for cold days; and straight beige trousers, a corduroy overshirt and retro sneakers when you want something a little sharper. In summer, wide shorts, a loose tee and a cap; in winter, add a puffer or a lined work jacket.
How to get it right
Boxy proportions
Dropped-shoulder, cropped-length tees and straight or wide trousers that fall over the sneaker. If the top is very long, balance it with cleaner trousers.
Layers that show
Tee, hoodie and overshirt or anorak: each layer peeks out at the neck or hem. That is what adds depth without needing prints.
Short palette, light sneaker
Black, grey, beige and olive go together without thinking. Save color for the sneakers, the cap or a single piece.
Frequently asked questions
How do men wear streetwear?
Start with wide trousers or cargos and a loose tee or hoodie, add a layer on top (overshirt, anorak or jacket) and clean sneakers. Keep it to two or three colors at most.
Which sneakers go with men’s streetwear?
Low-profile white sneakers go with everything; retro basketball or running pairs add character. What matters is that the hem falls over them without bunching too much.
Is streetwear just baggy clothes?
No: it is about balancing volumes. You can wear straight jeans with a loose hoodie, or wide cargos with a clean-cut tee. What makes it streetwear is the mix of sportswear, workwear and basics.
