Alexander Wang Resort 2024 Show Transforms Menswear

This collection provides a refreshing splash of function and flair on menswear!

By Ashley Smith NOVEMBER 2, 2023 

Designer Alexander Wang uses staple menswear pieces and sharp, flared silhouettes at his Resort 2024 show by styling oversized collared coats and relaxed pants. These looks bring a traditional yet challenging idea to menswear by stylishly preserving masculinity.

It is crucial to note the repeating color pallet in this collection to provide a structured sense of cohesion to these looks. These looks are practical and complimentary. The frequent use of shiny accessories hanging from belt loops in these looks can mimic coins, reflecting wealth and polished success.

Accessories are used in these looks to remix the traditional idea of menswear. While these looks still are practical, we see Alexander Wang taking risks to redefine menswear. You can also begin to notice a pattern of blue and dark grey tones throughout this Resort 2024 collection.

Did you notice the detail on that crossbody bag? The flashy accessory is complimented with a black tank lined with dark grey. This look is especially eye-catching because it provides us with structured khakis, a staple menswear piece, topped off with shiny silver accessories. It is also important the challenging gaze on the model that sets the mood of the look. This look is bold and redefining.

Alexander Wang Resort 2024 Collection 

We are now met with an intriguing menswear look that keeps Alexander Wang’s transformative theme. The snake green belt with the silver clasp is exceptionally striking as it is one of the first things you notice. The staple pieces in this look are muted, yet significant to pull off a traditional menswear theme. This look pulls off a masculine and daring look that is seemingly effortless.
