The top 10 spring 2024 menswear shows
Neither the scorching heat, nor the K-pop stars and their hordes of fans, nor the heavy traffic could not dampen the male crowd's enthusiasm for the spring 2024 collections presented in Milan and Paris. Buyers and editors agreed it was one of the strongest seasons in years, with major trends ranging from new suiting to a more relaxed silhouette, from sheer to a bigger push of color. But which of the hundreds of shows were the top 10?
Here are WWD's picks.
1. Loewe
There's no denying that the handsome young cast of [Jonathan Anderson ] looked terrific in this elongated, high-waisted silhouette, reminiscent of Antoine de Saint-Exupéry's "The Little Prince" — and also of extroverts like Cher in the 1970s, who were then fond of shiny, flared pants. — Miles Socha, WWD International Editor, on the best collection of the season.

The sunset over the Seine is for in love, but on Tuesday, the magic hour was the backdrop for a spectacular show marking the start of the Pharrell Williams era at Louis Vuitton. — Joëlle Diderich, head of the WWD office in Paris
3. Prada
Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons delivered fireworks fashion galore with their Spring 2024 Menswear Show for Prada, designed as a freewheeling exploration of the shirt – which some audience members saw through drool curtains flanking parts of the runway. —Miles Socha, WWD International Editor
4. Dior
Kim Jones celebrated his five years at Dior with a “ pop-up” which saw models springing from the floor of the room, by the magic of trapdoors and hydraulic platforms. — Joëlle Diderich, head of the WWD office in Paris
5. Fendi
There is a lot of talk, especially in Italian fashion supply chain circles, about modern craftsmen and the preservation of their know-how.
Well, [Silvia] Venturini Fendi workers - whether they're walking the runway or in the factory labs - were some of the finest around. — Martino Carrera, WWD correspondent in Milan
6. Zegna
As for the colors, they were exquisite, from mint green and orange to flamingo pink, juxtaposed against the earth tones, jute, gray and chocolate brown.
The collection was beautiful and, like [Alessandro] Sartori, thought out to the smallest detail retail. — Luisa Zargani, head of the WWD office in Milan
