Gen Z may have had their Charli XCX-inspired “Brat summer,” but with an Oasis reunion on the way, “boyish fall” is set to become the next seasonal trend.
The Britpop band have announced a sensational comeback to mark the end of a 15-year feud and will tour the UK next summer.
Noel and Liam Gallagher are set to unleash a fierce ticket war this weekend as die-hard fans scramble to get into the hotly anticipated shows.
With the news, British men have hailed the arrival of a new cultural era, a trend that has quickly been dubbed “male autumn” or, by some, “warm male autumn.”
Social media has been awash with memes celebrating the return of Oasis, with millennials joking around as they dust off their Harrington jackets and parkas in preparation.

While Brat summer embraced edgy outfits and a trashy aesthetic, bloke autumn celebrates classic Oasis attire, which the brothers have continued into their 50s.
The signature look includes bucket hats, sunglasses, polos and windbreakers galore, plus the brothers’ iconic ’90s haircuts.
“Brat summer is turning into man fall,” one Twitter user noted, with another adding: “Sexy brat girl summer? Keep it that way.”
“It’s almost September here and I’m getting ready for the warm autumn. URGENT.”
Meanwhile, on TikTok, thousands of people have celebrated the return of ‘blokecore’ fashion by ‘dusting off’ their old Harrington jackets and parkas.

Gen Z model Thomas Meacock showed off a “Liam Gallagher-inspired” haircut online, and even kept his sunglasses on throughout his time at the barbershop.
She also posted an Instagram reel featuring Oasis-inspired fashion inspiration, garnering over two million views.
The iconic Oasis style was originally inspired by the Northern Mod style movement of the 60s, which also included polo shirts, windbreakers and brands such as Levi’s Adidas, Stone Island and Kangol, and also inspired Blur and Bluetones.
It’s a continuation of the “bloke-core” trend from earlier this year, which focused on football and pub aesthetics, and was also inspired by the Gallagher brothers.
Here, Gen Z men were expected to dress like “a dad on his way to a football game” in team jerseys, flared jeans and Adidas sneakers.
Blokecore, which has a distinctly 1990s vibe, is defined by sportswear, particularly trainers, tracksuits and football shirts, but those who follow this trend have no intention of actually doing sport.
It’s official: the next seasonal trend will be “manly fall” after Gen Z was forced to say goodbye to “brat summer”
Bloke’s autumn will mark the definitive end of the ‘Brat summer’, where Generation Z has been adopting “brat-like” behaviors all summer long.
In the words of Charli XCX during an interview with the BBC, Brats were: “trash. Like a pack of cigarettes and a Bic lighter. And a white strappy T-shirt. No bra. That’s all you need.”
But now, according to one Twitter user, Brats could be on their way to disappearing once and for all.
‘Brat Summer were in charge until the end and then got a double whammy with the announcement of the Oasis tour and the Fontaines LP,’ they said.
“This is officially men’s summer.”
