LAST FALL, Kevin Ibanez’s work schedule suddenly freed him up to attend a friend’s wedding at the last minute. One problem: The smartish affair seemed to call for a suit, and the San Diego nurse, 32, lacked one. “I figured I’d put together a dressed-up outfit with what I had in my closet,” said Ibanez. He settled on a camp-collar shirt, chunky loafers and track pants.

WE KNOW this much: The lines between what many guys wear for work and play keep blurring. Office dress-codes seem to dissolve by the day. “Smart casual means something very different in 2023 than it did in 2019,” said Los Angeles stylist Luca Kingston. “You can get away with more” at work now, he added.

SOMETIMES WHEN Evan Glick, who’s cursed with a “fairly short torso,” tries on T-shirts in stores, “it just looks like I’m wearing a summer dress.” But if you spotted the 32-year-old Brooklyn data engineer in the street, you’d never mistake his top for a frock. Last summer, he began taking his tees and shorts to get tailored at his local wash and fold, for $15 a pop. Now everything fits snugly. “I don’t have to be disappointed with a too-big shirt,” he said.

WHEN IT COMES to T-shirts, Jeff Yamazaki encourages competition. The Los Angeles actor, 31, pits his tops against one another—call it a tee-off. “I’ll buy a couple white tees [from different brands] at the same time and see which one holds up best,” he said. After the candidates weather many wears and washes, he’ll pick a winner. (He’ll then buy the victor again, perhaps in a different color.)

SKIP THE SAD PLAID Striking features such as colorful buttons distinguish a new breed of overshirt from all the blah flannel clones. Illustration: Paul TullerTHE ACTOR Kunal Nayyar enjoys dressing up when he flies, “like how they used to do in the olden days.” His favorite jet-setting item? Not a natty blazer a la 1950s travelers, but an overshirt with a twist. Nayyar, of “The Big Bang Theory” fame, swears by cozy cashmere designs with buttons made of gemstones such as pink rose quartz or purple amethyst. These precious fasteners add distinctive hits of color, said the 42-year-old.
NECK AND NECK Two shirts, two collars—a sturdy design (left) and a flat camp style (right). Even if none ring a bell, chances are you’ve seen the style, distinguished by a splayed, notched collar that exposes clavicles and lies pancake-flat against the chest. Today’s camp styles range from $990 Celine designs with palm-tree accents right through to $33 Old Navy takes. Athleisure giant Lululemon offers a head-scratching version in a sweat-wicking fabric better suited to gym clothes. Countless trendy brands sell few other collar styles come spring and summer.
I SPY A HIGHLY DEFINED WAIST ‘James Bond’ star Daniel Craig in a trio of recent hourglass looks. AT A MOVIE premiere last October, a star got the cameras flashing with a head-turning hourglass silhouette—nipped-in at the waist and gently flared below. Not Scarlett Johansson, or some Marilyn Monroe manqué, but Daniel Craig, a man who’s famously embodied James Bond. Mr. Craig, 55, smoldered in a cinched navy tux—his latest embrace of waist-nipping tailoring. Along with fellow A-listers including Idris Elba, Mr. Craig is making men want such exaggerated tailoring for one simple reason: The narrow waist accentuates his broad shoulders and chest, making him look more buff.

I SPY A HIGHLY DEFINED WAIST ‘James Bond’ star Daniel Craig in a trio of recent hourglass looks. Not Scarlett Johansson, or some Marilyn Monroe manqué, but Daniel Craig, a man who’s famously embodied James Bond. Mr. Craig, 55, smoldered in a cinched navy tux—his latest embrace of waist-nipping tailoring. If you think the “hourglass” is solely a feminine ideal, 007 is here to tell you otherwise. Along with fellow A-listers including Idris Elba, Mr. Craig is making men want such exaggerated tailoring for one simple reason: The narrow waist accentuates his broad shoulders and chest, making him look more buff.
COUNTERINTUITIVELY, sales are higher than ever—almost triple prepandemic levels, in fact—at J. Mueser, a trendy Manhattan tailoring firm founded in 2008, reports creative director Matthew Woodruff. But not because guys need a new suit for the boardroom. As once-strict office dress codes continue to unravel, and Wall Street types stock up on skinny chinos and fleece vests, it’s become cool, almost rebellious, to wear formal tailored pieces. “People aren’t buying tailoring because they have to now; it’s because they want to,” said Mr. Woodruff. “Guys are wearing them as a replacement for a chore coat,” said Mr. Woodruff.
FLY FISHERMEN, ramen chefs and John Wayne impersonators rejoice: The bandana is back in style. Though silk neckties and ascots may be passé, their more-relaxed cotton cousins seem to be enjoying a resurgence. Meanwhile, in the real world, George Vlagos, the owner of Chicago menswear store Independence, said he can barely keep the bandanas by Japanese fashion brand Kapital in stock. And you’re at no risk of resembling an extra in a Spaghetti Western: A wave of playful, modern takes from brands like NOMA t.d. They feature such things as painterly florals, raver-style smiley faces or cats in space suits (you did read that correctly).
JACK DUNLEAVY was bombarded by mules while scrolling through fashion videos on TikTok a few months ago. Or rather, one mule: the Birkenstock Boston, a unisex slip-on often rendered in earthy shades of suede. “They were on menswear accounts, in ‘Day in the Life’ videos—everybody was wearing them,” said Mr. Dunleavy, 29, a software engineer from Dallas. He felt compelled to acquire his own pair to shuffle about in fashionably, but hit a stumbling block: The shoes, in the color he wanted, were sold out everywhere he looked.
“People are bored of a lack of innovation with sneakers, so it makes sense that more guys are getting into loafers and derbies,” said Mark Boutilier, 24, an Atlanta fashion content creator. At men’s spring runway shows in June, the shift to formal styles was clear. Sneakers had faded into the background. This presents a styling conundrum: How to resolve black-tie shoes with comfy shirts and trousers seemingly designed for naps? “Men used to use sneakers to dress down formal looks, but now they are incorporating dressy shoes to elevate more casual [outfits],” said Mr. Klingberg, who recently sold a client cargo pants to team with loafers.
