Nostalgia is the driving force behind most of the trends in suiting and menswear as a whole in 2023. It's what prompted longtime mall leaders like Banana Republic and J. Crew to dig into their archives and bring back some of the most beautiful hairstyles from decades past back.

1. Broader relationships

Gone are the days of slim lapels, low cuts and skinny pants. In their place is the new modern suit, which uses slightly wider proportions throughout. Part of this is just the natural ebb and flow of fashion, which alternates between skinny and loose fit every decade or so. The slim-fit suit that was fashionable in the early 2010s gives way to a looser fit with wider proportions.

The good news: what's trendy now goes hand in hand with persistence. . Wider proportions don't necessarily mean deliberately baggy suits. It might just mean something more in the middle of the two extremes, more of a standard fit. And if you want to go extra wide, go for it! Big lapels and baggy, smooth pants are very much in fashion right now. It has a lot less to do with finding that suit that makes you feel good and that you still think looks good when you look back at pictures ten years from now.

The key with these cuts is proportion - you can't pair a wide lapel with a narrow tie. Instead, choose a cohesive look in lapels, trousers and tie.

2. Double-breasted suits

Wide lapels aren't the only style making a comeback. Double suits are placed in the hat. For many men, a double-breasted suit can feel like a scary step - it can feel stiff, too formal (even for a wedding) or like something out of your TK's closet. , Allow us to turn our attention to Chris Pine atDungeons & Dragonspress tour of the film. Never has a man so effortlessly demonstrated the versatility of a suit.

Of course, thisable toworks as a more formal alternative to a single-breasted suit, but can look just as good in linen for a seaside ceremony (Miami policevibes, anyone?). Double-breasted jumpsuits flatter almost any shape, slimming you in the right places while expanding your chest and shoulders. It'll give you the confidence of an A-lister to hit the red carpet as you walk down the aisle (or just into your seat).

Perhaps it is its growing popularityYellowstone(more on that later) or perhaps the influence of Kacey Musgraves' 2017 masterpieceGolden hourhe still looks great. Either way, Western ways are trendy, with the cowpoke influence spilling over into everything from venues to decor to costumes when it comes to weddings. This is the kind of trend you can do yourself, but a good tie or cowboy hat is a good place to start.

And remember, you can make it as authentic or campy as you like – Kevin Costner and Dolly Parton are equally valid points of inspiration. Lighten up your suit pants for a cool Texas vibe circa 1977. Or mix it up with a bolo tie instead of a traditional one, or swap dress shoes for boots. If you're really feeling the trend, opt for Nudie-style embroidery on your jacket and trousers for a unique wedding day look. Good trails mate.

4. Mixing patterns and textures

Suit color may be the first thing that comes to mind, but putting as much thought into construction, texture and pattern as possible can up your wedding dress game. There's nothing wrong with a four-season wool (the most standard suit fabric), but stepping outside your comfort zone will do wonders for the look and feel of your next wedding suit.

It starts with considering the season. Autumn is reminiscent of tweed and herringbone - or even both! Try a tweed blazer and team it with a herringbone waistcoat for some variety in the look so everyone knows you put some effort into it. Bedding is perfect for regulating the temperature in the warmer months. The textured hand feel of the fabric will pop against a shirt, but beware: linen is prone to wrinkling. Choose seductive pre-wedding photos for an elegant look. Choices like these are what separate the great wedding dresses from the good ones. Be sure to wear a great one in 2023.

No matter what style of wedding attire you plan to wear this year, one thing is constant in 2023 trends: earthy neutrals. If you want to break out of the black tie rule, this is the way to do it. Whether deep brown, light beige or rich olive, earthy neutrals can swing formal or rustic. This palette would pop at a semi-formal farmhouse wedding or a raised indoor affair. Earth tones offer the best of both worlds as they help you stand out from the crowd of black suits while giving you a strong neutral canvas to add color and personal accessories.
