The Best Jackets for Men in Spring 2022

Is your wardrobe ready for spring? 

When the weather starts to warm up and we start to wear less layers, we will look for lightweight and at least a little bit water resistant jackets for sure. Plus, buying jackets that are relatively timeless will be a wardrobe investment for you.

We've also got lightweight parkas, chore coats, bombers, leather jackets, fleece zip-ups, car coats, and even more. 

In this post, we’re looking at best spring jackets for men.

The Spring/Summer 2022 Trends for Men

The longest month of the year has finished and here is the February! As living in the UK, we've already started to dream about warmer weather and less layered looks. Less forecasting, more feelings; here are the style moves heading into 2022 from Brand-Store's men's department. 

1. Cardigan coats! 

Coats that are in fact cardigans – otherwise known as heavy-knit cardigans will be your life saver when it's too warm for a coat and too cold for a T-shirt.

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.

3. Colourful garments 

Turns out the world’s most important menswear designers are equally as bored of grey marl, navy towelling and black jersey as we are. Proof could be found in the extraordinary array of colour on display on the runways in London, Milan and Paris.

4. Big shorts! 

We are happy to announce that 2022 will be all about the oversized shorts. (“Five-inch short rule” has finished. Finally)

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.

Scroll on for our pick of the best chore jackets of the season that you can shop right now! 

We have also added some shackets too in order to make your look warmer!

By the en of summer, when autumn starts with September, our favourite events start to take place. 

When it comes to celebrity style, the month of September brings plenty of glamour just like Venice Film Festival, which kicked off this week. The Venice Film Festival is the world's longest-running film festival and usually attracts the industry's top talent and the most highly anticipated movies. 

Last year, the film event still went ahead, but it did with pandemic restrictions. So, this year still marks an exciting return to Venice for many of Hollywood's biggest stars.

The Ultimate Guide to Men's Watches, 2021

 

One of the key pieces in a man’s wardrobe is his choice of a wristwatch. Since it’s one of the few pieces of jewelry that most men feel comfortable wearing it’s also one of the few ways that they can truly express themselves and their style. 

Like most accessories, we think it’s best to develop a watch wardrobe, having one or two that are great for everyday wear, some for special occasions, and others for sport or workouts. 

From luxury watches to affordable prices, here is the Ultimate Guide to Men's Watches, 2021:

Rick Owens Distorts the Converse Weapon

 

Twenty years ago, Rick Owens viewed sneakers as “pedestrian, suburban banality.” Then he started going to the gym. He started considering how to make sneakers more him. With the Converse x DRKSHDW TURBOWPN, the classic 1986 Converse Weapon is reframed. The vibe is pure Owens. 

Exaggerating both the upper and tooling, his signature touch augments the familiar lines (the Y-bar and heel cap) and the shoe is made bombastic. “When I discovered how powerful just oversizing something a little bit was, which I've done with a lot of my clothes, that became one of my tools,” Owens says. 

The shoe features an elongated tongue, mirroring the TURBODRK Chuck 70. The Weapon’s outsole is nearly doubled in the TURBOWPN, forming a platform-like stance. Within, the TURBOWPN houses a CX foam drop-in and subtly reinforced toe box. 

Another Owens signature is the inclusion of his DRKSHDW iconography. “One of the main things that I think it suggests is empathy and consideration of systems of living that might not be standard,” he says.

The launch black colourway reflects the Weapon’s original debut, and underscores Owens’ approach to contemporary luxury. 

The Converse x DRKSHDW TURBOWPN releases August 31 at converse.com, RickOwens.eu, Rick Owens shops and select retailers.

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.

8. Details 

Watches, necklaces and bracelets are optional. Good to add though...

The Ultimate Father's Day Gift Guide, 2021

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).

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.
