The 10 Best Men's Summer Fragrances for 2022 (To keep it fresh for the next heat wave)

According to Tom Ford, the coolest menswear fashion designer, there are two things that make a man into a gentleman. The first is good manners, and the second is a good cologne. And besides; who wouldn’t want to smell good? 

During summer heat wave while a basic hygiene is a good start – you’ll need an eau de something at your disposal to ensure you always smell fresh. The secret of summer colognes is that the ingredients should come from summer feelings: citrus, plants, flowers with “marine” notes… That’s why we’ve rounded up the best summer fragrances for this season, 2022. 

From the bed to the boat party, here are the best summer fragrances for men. 

Chanel Bleu de Chanel Eau de Parfum Fragrance 

£102.00 , boots.com 

Some things never get old; like Chanel… Bleu de Chanel is the scent of a gentleman. It’s crisp, refined, and elegant. It doesn’t rely on musk the way some more traditional “gentleman” colognes do and instead uses top notes of citrus and mint to bring a burst of freshness layered with woody green notes.

Nautica Voyage by Nautica

The scent opens with cool green leaf and fresh cut apple. The heart blends drenched mimosa, water lotus, and deep aquatic elements with the ‘sailcloth accord’. The woody drydown is a mix of moss, cedarwood, musk, and amber.

Tom Ford Private Blend Fleur de Portofino 

£147.90 Johnlewis.com 

This perfume opens with a cocktail of citrus essences wrapped in violet leaf. It combines notes of cassia tree and mimosa while enigmatic white acacia gives way to a delectable acacia honey accord. It's Tom Ford's homage to the Italian Riviera.

Dior Eau Sauvage 

£147.90, Boots.com 

Best sexy citrus. Always ranked in ‘’Best fragrances for men’’ lists. Eau Sauvage is a classic warm weather fragrance with Top notes Lemon, Bergamot, Basil, Rosemary, Caraway and Fruity Notes.

Just like Dior, always ranked in ‘’Best fragrances for men’’ lists. Best for all-round versatility. Sophisticated yet simple, timeless yet complex… What’s more, it’s far more affordable than many of the premium scents.

Roja Parfums vetiver parfum pour homme 

£375, Harrods.com 

Best luxury fragrance. Vetiver smells dry, earthy, woody, leathery and smoky. Think of uncut grass on a warm day and you'll have a rough idea of what vetiver smells like. The fragrance is too.

Bottega Veneta Illusione 

£54.00 - £68.00 Lookfantastic.com 

The inclusion of balsam is blended with lemon, bitter orange, white cedarwood, vetiver and tonka bean. It’s chic and discreet – just like the brand itself.

Creed Aventus Cologne 

£240.00, creedfragrances.co.uk 

The cologne edition boasts top notes of ginger, mandarin and pink peppercorn, underlined by patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver, styrax and tonka bean. It’s a classy number, with a nose-tingling opener and a leathery, musky base that helps it last on the skin. 

ByRedo Sundazed 

£127.00, selfridges.com 

Citrusy mandarin, neroli, Californian lemon and Arabian jasmine at the top mixed with a sweet undercurrent of white musk. It smells like hot sand, sun lotion and candy floss all rolled into one in real life. 

Paco Rabanne Invictus Legend 

£54.00, Boots.com 

One of a handful of scents scientifically proven to help you pull — okay, it’s not guaranteed, but it does contain a chemical compound called hedione which stimulates an area of the brain responsible for the release of sex hormones — Invictus has been an olfactory wingman since 2013.

2. Sleeveless... everything 

2022 trends takes us to the big love for sleeveless garments. It has been a huge trend for a while now, so forgive us for starting again. The shift first came to our attention when a whole host of designers including Prada and Marni started showing neat sweater vests, while, more recently, Riccardo Tisci dedicated his whole menswear collection to the power of an exposed bicep. 

For the Spring/Summer 2022 season, the trend has gone into overdrive, with sleeveless knitted numbers shown at Erdem and Paul Smith, smart waistcoat styles worn with nothing else walked at Courrèges and Giorgio Armani, and tailored sleeveless blazers and biker jackets proving quite the thing at Burberry, where the trend remained at its strongest.

Best Men's Chore Jackets and Shackets to Nail Smart-Casual Layrering!

To us; there is no difference between a light shacket and chore jackets. This garment is the light layer that solves that pesky autumn problem of cold mornings and scorching-hot afternoons in winter. It nails the smart-casual briefing; and it's also on of the first choices when it comes to art of layering. a 

What is a chore jacket? 

 “For functionality purposes, the chore coat usually comes with two large front pockets located at the bottom of the jacket and also two large breast pockets,” explains Rudy Budhdeo, owner of renowned London workwear and denim shop Son Of A Stag. “It normally had a large collar that could be flipped up to protect the wearer from the elements.” 

Traditionally, chore jackets were deliberately oversized to allow for freedom of movement and also for alterations to be made. However, these days they tend to be made more fitted.

The Best Celebrity Style of 2021! (Men's Style)

 

If you are confused about style trends or which style fits you; here is a guide that you can get inspired from. There is no right or wrong here! Trust your instincts! 

 The original article below is from Esquire mag! 

We love their picks and add a list of shopping by getting inspired by their article. 

Jeremy O. Harris Playwright, 31 

Does anyone have more fun getting dressed than Jeremy O. Harris? 

It isn’t easy to rock culottes and a coral clutch and make it look like a natural pairing. When he’s not overturning conventional notions of how a “serious writer” (or, hell, any man) should dress, the playwright is nestled at home in sweats, sometimes of his own design, proving you don’t have to throw on the wildest thing in your closet to dress up.

Justin Theroux Actor, 49

The past couple years have seen an upending of the tight, tailored approach to dressing that dominated the decade prior. Unless you’re Justin Theroux, who still wears skinny jeans and trim blazers like it’s 2011—and looks damn good doing it. This is a guy who knows what works for him, dialed it in years ago, and is absolutely intent on sticking with it. It’s something to aspire to.

Harry Styles Musician,  27

In a word: delightful. That’s how we’d describe Harry Styles’s, er, style. Not only because his flared trousers, fantastical knitwear, and all-around panache make music and fashion fans around the world smile at the sight of him—though that’s true, too—but also because he looks like he’s having so much fun with his clothes (and nails, and everything else). Achieve even half of that enjoyment level yourself and you’re on the right track.

Jerry Lorenzo Designer, 43 

In 2020, Jerry Lorenzo emerged as a signature voice in American men’s wear, partnering with the tailoring whizzes at Zegna and churning out a Fear of God collection chock-full of strong-shouldered suiting and slouchy sweats. No one wears the brand better than Lorenzo himself. To imitate his elevated laid-back cool, just remind yourself that your swankiest sport coat need not be treated any more preciously than your trustiest sweatpants. The rest will come naturally.

The Best Sunglasses for Men to Wear in 2021

Sunglasses are the coolest fashion accessories worn by men worldwide! 

Dope eyewear not only elevates your look to new levels but also protects your eyes from harmful UV rays from the sun. These accessories are a necessity and every well-dressed man should own at least a few to complement their outfits. 

Quoting Jack Nicholson “With my sunglasses on, I'm Jack Nicholson. Without them, I'm fat and 60", never underestimate the power of a good pair of sunglasses!

Some tips for picking sunglasses: 

• When it comes to picking the sunglasses, you want to invest not only in quality but appearance too. But in our opinion invest the classic models that will never go old; and also pick 1 or 2 from trending models with more reasonable prices! 

• Look for sunglasses with the label “100 percent protection against both UVA and UVB.” Another option is the label “100% against UV 400.”

From bucket hat to baseball caps BEST CAPS to nail the off-duty look!

A cap is an essential in any man’s wardrobe and not just because you are having a bad hair day. It's fashion-forward, completing a cool look and useful! 

And so, we’ve picked our favourite caps for men in this particularly cap-friendly time of the year. From trending bucket hats to baseball caps shop TrendHimUK edit below.

Fashion Forward: 5+ Menswear Trends To Know for Summer 2021

5. PUMA Dreamer 2 Basketball Sneakers

6. Nike Air Max 270 React SE 

A 1993 classic, the ultra-streamlined Nike Pantheon went out of production and has since been “retroed” (the term for bringing back an OG pair of kicks in an ever-so-slightly updated way). Well, the Air Max 270 React SE takes inspiration from the Pantheon's super sleek design and also features a super-soft React foam base.

7. Nike Blazer 

Regarding the minimal silhouettes, Nike’s Blazer is one of the oldest trainer designs still on rotation. First released in 1973, it was Nike’s best basketball trainer at the time, but has since gone on to find fame among skaters and sneakerheads alike.
