Acne Studios introduces its Fall/Winter 2025 menswear collection with a new spin on what a “classic” can be. Tailored navy suits and asphalt-grey separates come with a wink of subversion, while shots of rust and burgundy nod to mid-century style. It’s not about being pinned down—there’s an undercurrent of being both dressed-up and undone at the same time, an approach that keeps Acne Studios firmly on the cool-kid map.
Over the past year, the brand has kept momentum going, tapping into fresh collaborations and riding the buzz around front-row appearances by names like Kylie Jenner. For FW25, creative director Jonny Johansson delivers another statement on modern masculinity. Formalwear is stripped back yet remains polished, denim is treated as a canvas for playful trompe-l’oeil, and silhouettes feel intentionally off-kilter, with wide-shouldered coats and low-slung pants that reveal a hint of midriff. A new 2010 denim fit offers a subtle bootcut shape, and that same flare appears in leather trousers, evoking a flash of ’80s power dressing.
Nostalgic references show up in shaggy jackets and generous shearling, but the forward-thinking vibe never falters. The fabrics feel rooted in tradition yet move beyond it—pinstripe viscose, supersized corduroy, mouliné checks, and bouclé all share space with boxer-poplin layers and fil coupé denim. Prints skew athletic and vintage, like the brand’s “Pink Gym for everyone” motifs that poke fun at old-school varsity tropes. Ties get twisted into bow shapes, and pinstripes warp just enough to break expectations.
Accessories are equally spirited. A flight-hat-style bonnet, Western-plaque belts, and a revamped briefcase called the Camero keep things eclectic but anchored in menswear heritage. The signature Acne Studios rivet even sneaks onto belts and jewelry, a nod to the label’s storied denim past. On the footwear front, anything formal is cracked open—brogues get dotted with studs, loafers sport a bold logo plaque, and there’s a low-top sneaker that nods to ballet pumps. Acne Studios once again shows it can take a code, flip it, and make it feel undeniably now.
