Calvin Klein’s AW25 Menswear Is Gen Z’s Uniform of Cool—And NYC Is Its Playground

“Calvin Klein’s AW25 denim and underwear collection speaks directly to the Gen Z consumer—confident, expressive, and rooted in authenticity. The brand’s ability to merge timeless minimalism with modern edge is what keeps it culturally relevant. From the lived-in texture of the denim to the sleek precision of the underwear, these pieces are designed not just to be worn, but to be lived in. As a menswear professor at FIT and Editor at StyleLujo.com, I see Calvin Klein’s AW25 offering as a powerful reflection of Gen Z’s evolving style narrative—one that values quality, identity, and digital resonance.” — Joseph DeAcetis, Editor at StyleLujo.com and Menswear Professor at the Fashion Institute of Technology
