After the pandemic-induced indoor stay, renewed creative energy and optimism are the fundamentals of the Spring-Summer 2022 men’s fashion trends, says Tsunami Costabir.
Having stayed indoors and with WFH becoming the staple, there was an emphasis on effortless officewear. With increasing time to think about oneself, one’s personality and passions, an outlet for creative energy was needed and revealed in the form of psychedelic prints, fancy flip-flops, loose and cut-out clothing, and for those who dare to wear masculine heels!
Cool, casual, and comfortable with some major audacity in rethinking traditionally feminine pieces into the male wardrobe, let’s jump right into some of our favorite menswear trends this season!
- Cutouts
This look is all about breathability and “allowing the places that have never seen the sun to see the sun” – while looking super dapper and fashionable! It also serves as a great pool or beach party look.
- Bermuda Shorts
Bermuda shorts never really went out of fashion. They cover a considerable amount while still allowing a good deal of breathability and movement. Having been in WFH attire, which means boxers or undies for the most part, switching out to a Bermuda seems to be a fair deal for most!
- Sleeveless Sweaters
For those cool summer nights, a sleeveless sweater is just what you need to look casual chic. This smart way to stay perfectly cozy comes in some bold and bright patterns, so you still know it’s summer!
- Psychedelic Prints
Bringing in that element of expression, enlightenment, and creative freedom are the psychedelic prints. Being indoors, primarily with oneself, has brought forth for many people a sense of self-identity. Here’s to expressing it creatively in all aspects of life!
- Pink
For those of us who think that a man cannot look stunning and masculine in pink, think again! This is an almost contradictory look where it becomes apparent that only confident, fearless men embody the true power pink brings…
- Sandals & Masculine Heels
Bringing comfort and expression to the feet, we can envision masculine heels becoming all the rage in the coming years. If the girls can do it, so can you! Apart from adding a few inches to your height, they also make the body appear more toned and slender by flexing certain muscles, and requiring you to keep good posture. This is probably the most revolutionary trend this season! And for the days when you couldn’t care less, slides and slippers will be your buddy.
