Best Men’s Clothing Brands of 2022

Looking for the most daring new menswear trends that will take the world by storm this year? We’ll tell you now—you won’t find them here. We’re not about to peddle exotic leather jackets with exaggerated shoulders or dub the bizarre hype of balaclavas (have we not hidden our faces enough already?). Instead, we’re shining the spotlight on menswear brands that will help you fill your closet with unique, tasteful clothes you’ll actually be wearing this year (and many years after).

Luckily, there are dozens of menswear brands that create innovative and functional menswear. Many drop cool and wicked collections that you’ll want to cop for months to come. Others are inventing new ways to be sustainable, including using eco-friendly fabrics, opting for an inventory-free business model, or adopting a slow-fashion, small-batch approach to minimize waste.

In terms of style, there’s a lot of variety and a strong appreciation for how men actually dress day to day. Some companies are bringing overly daring (and ridiculously provocative) streetwear trends back to the streets instead of the catwalks. Other brands simply raise the bar for high-quality leisurewear and vacation-appropriate duds, without raising prices.

It might seem like we’re casting a wide net with our picks, but wouldn’t you rather know about the menswear brands that are doing it right, than just replicating fleeting trends? We certainly would. These are the businesses to shop for this year.
