2020 Menswear trends: the white jacket for Fall

Balmain and Valentino both propose an all-white jacket plus pants combo, but while the outfit created by Pierpaolo Piccioli has a more laid-back feel thanks to the chalk white matte fabric and workwear-inspired detailing, like the multiple pockets and the wide belt, the look from the French house headed up by Olivier Rousteing would look great on any red carpet, courtesy of the tuxedo jacket finished with statement peak lapels and matching ivory-toned satin pants.

Off White and Random Identities for Fall Winter 2020 have both teamed a white jacket with black pants. The bomber style from Virgil Abloh features puffed sleeves and functional details, while Stefano Pilati sent down the runway a short, buttonless drawstring blazer.

The most original takes on the 2020 white men’s jacket emerged at Amiri and Louis Vuitton, with, respectively, a white tweed jacket finished with gold-rimmed buttons and flashy contrasting fabric or patent details, worn with ripped jeans;  and a short shaggy shearling jacket – also masterminded by Virgil Abloh.
