Men's Designers
The fall/winter 2023 men's runway continued a trend of plaid and checkered menswear that had previously been seen in spring/summer 2023. Faux fur, earth tones, and animal prints, were very popular. Designers also tapped into futurist and surrealist sensibilities. Jumpsuits made a comeback as did sleek, understated luxury. Suits were designed for office wear, though many of these suits were queered with rumpled styling that implied late night sexual escapades, and bright colors (such as purple).

Haute Couture
Surrealist looks were popular at SS23 haute couture week, particularly in Schiaparelli's controversial dresses containing hyper realistic foam animal heads and in Valentino's maximalist formalwear. Metallics, sheer fabrics, and harlequin prints were also popular.

Fashion Week
The fall/winter 2023 fashion week shows saw the return of 80s-inspired silhouettes, including shoulder-padded blazers and hourglass suiting. Wraps and flowy layers that produced a cocoon-like appearance were also common on the runway. Surrealist looks were popular, including clothes that appeared to have holes punched out of them, and oversized, brightly colored pussy bows. Ultra-tactile materials, such as faux fur coats and distressed knitwear, were seen on the runway. Popular accessories for women included hosiery and thin ties. Red was the most prominent pop color. Following the fall/winter 2023 shows, Women's Wear Daily noted that men's skirts seemed to be absent from the showrooms, despite their presence on the runways. Industry leaders noted that street brands had been expressing resistance to adopting men's skirts in retail stores for some time.

New York Fashion Week
The Fall/Winter 2023 New York Fashion Week was held between February 10 and February 15, 2023. The affiliated New York Men's Day took place on February 10, 2023.
