Men's Accessories Trends for Spring/Summer 2022
After countless months indoors, men are finally airing it all out. Fashion is currently in a very fun and eclectic period, and this is especially the case with the accessory trends that we will see in the coming months.
As it gets warmer, skin will not be the only thing we guys are showing more of this spring and summer. It would be easier to say that a specific or fixed style is trending right now in terms of accessories, but these S/S season men’s accessory trends are, to say the least, a little bit of a mixed bag!
The Limit Does Not Exist

There are absolutely no boundaries. That seems to be the overall theme with the most sought-after items for S/S 2022. Genderless and vintage pieces like pearls and retro soft-shaped sunglasses have been observed this year in a number of different runway shows like Fendi and Rick Owens.
While certain accessories from past years have resurfaced once again, they all seem to have been reimagined in the best and most limitless ways possible.
Bag Secured
Every now and then the fanny pack comes back into fashion, almost as if it’s routinely checking in with us. Lately, fanny packs and belt bags have dug their heels in like never before. As utility becomes more of a priority to consumers, we’ve given the fanny pack another go. This time, it’s evolved into a crossbody. As this particular item gets embraced yet again, it is not the only type of bag getting us through our day anymore.
Brands such as Louis Vuitton have truly started to experiment with material, shape, look, color, texture, and size when it comes to bags for men. From tote bags to sling bags and everything in between—we all have a lot to unpack this summer.

A Chain Reaction
Jewelry is another accessory trend on the hot list for men, and the approach is outrageously good. Seemingly out of nowhere, jewelry hit the runway very hard for S/S 2022, especially from brands such as Burberry and Lazoschmidl. Accessorizing with jewelry is really being done to the max this summer.
Whether it has a fetish-like undertone, or a summer camp beading type look, all of it counts. However, nautical-looking pieces count for extra style points!

While pearl necklaces may have tipped the first domino, seashells and stone beading are now getting some serious attention as well. Other pieces like pendants and pins are also stepping into the spotlight, and it really seems like people are here for it.
Hopefully, these jewelry trends stick around well passed this spring and summer season.

While today’s trending accessories may vary in every way, one theme appears to be holding firm: fashion and accessorizing have become fun again for everyone! It’s a type of fun that feels very unifying. After being grounded for over a year, everyone is styling themselves with a sort of childlike enthusiasm. The colors are vibrant, the selections are bold, and there’s an immense level of openness towards experimentation. An openness that, for men, in particular, was long overdue.
