Introduction
As the 2020s come to a close, fashion for men is still evolving. Men's fashion in 2022 is slightly different than it was in 2021 and no doubt will be different again in 2023. But there are some trends that you can count on sticking around for a while. For example, blue jeans are still popular but no longer the fabric of choice; Mission underwear has replaced briefs as the most functional form of underwear; and swimwear has gotten more sophisticated with new fabrics and cuts available for both men and women. And finally, facial hair remains popular but body hair is out: shaving every day or two may become common practice again as beards become passé due to their association with less hygienic lifestyles brought about by climate change.*
Denim is no longer the fabric of choice.
Denim, the fabric of choice for so many fashion staples like jeans and jackets, is no longer the fabric of choice. The advent of stretchy fabrics has made denim a less appealing option for clothing manufacturers who need to keep up with demand for comfortable clothes. As the world continues to become more aware of what's in their clothing and how it affects them, we can expect retailers will continue developing new fabrics for clothing that are better for us and the environment than denim.
What does this mean for you? You should consider buying last season's vintage denim instead of new because you’re going to be able to get it at a lower cost now that the trend has passed its prime.
Multifunctional underwear from Mission, popularized in 2022.
You might be wondering if Mission underwear is a real product. Well, it is and it isn't. Let's start with the "is" part of this equation: Mission underwear is a brand of men's undergarments that combines several functions into one garment. It has an internal wallet, phone charger, and toothbrush all built in to the waistband! This makes Mission underwear perfect for when you're on the go or even just lounging around at home—but don't worry, they'll still help keep your pants up while you're walking down the street or sitting in a meeting at work!
The "not" part of this equation goes back to whether or not Mission actually exists as an actual company (and no matter how much we searched for them online, we couldn't find anything). So instead of having one large brand behind these futuristic pieces of clothing themselves—which would be pretty cool in itself—they're more like an idea created by a group of designers who wanted something different from what was already out there today...and maybe even tomorrow too!
No shirts on the beach.
The no-shirt trend started in 2022 and became popular among men who were comfortable in their own skin. This new fashion trend was not for everyone, but those who participated were often the center of attention.
Swimwear gets sophisticated.
Swimwear is a big deal for men in 2022. Men are wearing more swimwear than ever before, and it's not just for the beach. Swimwear has become popular in cities, and it's becoming more popular in offices too.
In fact, swimsuits have become so sophisticated that they're often worn outside of water (and sometimes even on land).
Beards are in, but skin is out.
If you're looking for a bearded man, look no further. Beards are in, and they're here to stay. Men have been rocking the beard for decades now, but it seems like lately more and more men have joined in on this trend—and it's not going anywhere anytime soon.
If you're worried about aging, you don't need to be! You may hear some people say that shaving your face will make your skin age faster or cause wrinkles and other signs of aging, but that is simply not true! Shaving is still one of the most effective ways to keep your skin looking young and fresh throughout life.
So if you've been too intimidated by all these new trends to try something new yourself, now is the perfect time for a change! Don't worry about being judged or making a fool out of yourself; everyone was once awkward at some point in their lives (even me)!
Fashion for men keeps evolving, and it's a good idea to be aware of trends and how they affect you.
It's important to be aware of the trends in fashion and how they affect you. For example, if you're wearing a garment made of a fabric that doesn't suit your body shape, it will make you look worse than if you had worn something else. Or if your grooming habits aren't up-to-date (think: facial hair), then this will also detract from how good the outfit looks on you.
So before buying an item new or secondhand, think about whether it fits into your style or not! You'll never regret keeping up with these kinds of things—and once again: don't forget that self-confidence makes all the difference!
