Milan Fashion Week Men's 2024: Male models go pant-less on the runway

JW Anderson's show mostly had looks for men that were without pants.

If 2023 was an year of pant-less trend for women, men might take the pant-less route in 2024, atleast that's what JW Anderson's show at Milan Fashion Week Men's A/W 2024 suggests. Jonathan Anderson took the plunge and sent his male models down the runway wearing sheer black pantyhose which they wore over their black underwear. The designer ditched pants and made the models wear oversized T-shirts.

What was in the background comes to the fore in ways that are both cozy and perverse.
