Men’s fashion is ever-changing and ever-evolving. Luxury menswear houses are all adopting trends related to men breaking traditional norms and breaking gender boundaries. This is even evident in seasonal collections. What may have used to have been referred to as a fall/winter or a spring/summer piece, can now be considered interchangeable as long as worn properly.
Over the past few years and collections, in my expert opinion, I have noticed a large number of menswear collections featuring a variety of tops without sleeves. Ranging from tank tops, jackets, vests, and most notably sweater vests. I have seen them in both FW collections as layering pieces and in SS collections as standout pieces on their own.
During this summer window, we are currently in, a sleeveless top is a perfect buy as it can still be used for the rest of this warm weather as well as staying within your wardrobe once September and October roll around for your fall wardrobe. There is a sleeveless top option for all men this summer. Whether you are a fashion-forward king looking at some of the standout bright sweater vests from brands such as JACQUEMUS or The Elder Statesman or maybe you are looking for some affordable variety to your wardrobe from brands such as State Cashmere or Saturdays NYC.
Below you will find some of the best sleeveless tops for men, no matter the occasion, season, or style.
