Go Big or Go Home

Gravitypope Takes On the Most Challenging Fall/Winter Menswear Trends

An unusual mix of colour, pattern, textiles and cuts define menswear this season. Taking inspiration from 90s grunge, Tokyo street style and punctuating the combinations with splashes of electric colour, make this season one of the most exciting departures from the status quo that we’ve seen in menswear. Whether you choose to play it safe or go all the way with these trends, your wardrobe is about to enter a new dimension. With Gravity Pope on our side, we’re ready to dive into Fall/Winter 2021.

From varsity jackets to t‑shirts and trousers, we’re all about oversized tailoring. It’s time to embrace the relaxed fit. Say yes to enormous trousers. Comfort is king, and oversized should be an understatement. You go big, or you go home this season. After decades of skinny jeans, this is a well‑earned break. Live and let loose!

Layer Laws

Too many layers? There’s no such thing. Throw on your comfiest button‑down, add your warmest scarf, layer a wool cocoon jacket over top and don’t forget to pull on your Fairisle socks. You can go colour chromatic or play opposites attract with your palette, but you’re doing it wrong if you don’t feel appropriately bundled up when you leave the house. Too much? We say not enough!

Bring the Outdoors In

Are you planning to hit the slopes? No matter, outdoorsy styles are hot this season, whether you’re on the hill or watching from the chalet. Don your best “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” look; puffy vests, plaid scarves and weather‑ready boots are your go‑to styles this winter. Pair them with a fine knit toque and tech‑friendly gloves.
