Cozy Sweaters
When it comes to fall 2022 fashions, say goodbye to cool but uncomfortable sweaters. Say "yes" to sweaters that offer comfort, warmth, and style.
Alpaca Sweaters
Alpaca sweaters feel soft and buttery and are an excellent addition to any wardrobe. They come in many colors and are perfect for layering with polo shirts or button-downs for a chic look. They are wrinkle-resistant, warmer than sheep wool, and great for people who suffer from allergies or sensitive skin.
Turtlenecks
When it comes to combining style and warmth, the turtleneck is king. Whether you choose a lightweight version or one made with a thick-knit, turtlenecks can elevate every outfit and should be included in your 2022 fashion options!
Cardigans
Cardigans are back with a cool vengeance this year! While it's on trend for 2022, cardigans are also timeless pieces that can be incorporated into your looks year after year. Dress it up with a crisp shirt and chinos or dress it down with a t-shirt and jeans.
Hoodies
Hoodies are a classic men's fashion item and are especially important in 2022! And they aren't just the "casual vibes" hoodies we are used to either. The designs are elevated styles that are made with quality fabrics and impressive patterns.
Vests
Vests are back! Whether it's a sweater vest worn over a short or long-sleeved t-shirt, a fleece vest, or a quilted vest, vests elevate your style. They can be cool and casual or can be a fashionable layer on top of a button-down shirt.
Dapper Denim
Classic jeans are the go-to items in our closet, your comfortable jean look might need some updating! Add some stylish jeans to stay on top of the current fashion trends in denim. Here's what to look for in 2022.
Relaxed-Fit Jeans
Skinny jeans have been replaced—wide-leg and boot-cut jeans are taking over. This style of jeans is comfortable and looks good on all body types. They are easy to wear, either to pair with a shirt and tailored jacket or for an effortless jeans and hoodie look.
Raw or Stone-Washed Denim
Raw denim is not washed during production, so no fading occurs, and has a vintage, worn-in look. Stone-washed denim is dyed and washed with stones, giving the denim a softer color and worn-out look. Both are big in 2022 and available in many different shades to suit all preferences.
Plaid
Plaid is often synonymous with fall, and it's back this year! Plaid is a style essential that incorporates simplicity and comfort. It's a specific pattern using a grid of squares in different colors.
Plaid Shirts
Plaid shirts come in a variety of fabrics ranging from soft button-down shirts to thick, padded flannel. Plaid shirts offer a lot of versatility and can be worn for a casual weekend look or a dress-to-impress look at the office. They come in various shades—including blues, browns, reds, and greens—something for every preference and look.
Accessorize With Plaid
Accessorize with plaid to add a pop of color and interest to your look. This may include incorporating a plaid tie, hat, or scarf into your outfit.
Clothes With a Work-Leisure Twist
With the hybrid work model combining work from home and office taking off in 2022, clothes that emphasize comfort while still looking professional are important add-ons to every wardrobe. The key to these pieces is that they are fashionable clothes, tailored and stylish, but made out of comfortable, breathable, and wrinkle-free fabrics.
Comfortable Pants
For a perfect dose of 2022 style paired with comfort, try pants made out of comfortable fabrics such as corduroy pants, twill pants, and chinos. All three of these options offer more comfort than traditional dress pants while offering a professional look.
These pant styles can be paired with a variety of v-neck sweaters, collared shirts, or blazers.
Breathable Blazers
This year, blazers are still sharp-looking but have the added benefit of being stretchy and comfortable. This year's work-leisure blazers are made from fabrics like cotton, twill, and spandex, making them a great choice for fall. Layer the blazers on top of a shirt, sweater, or hoodie for an effortlessly stylish look.
Polo Shirts
Polo shirts are becoming the go-to work-leisure shirt for men. Found in many different colors and fabrics, every man should make sure he has a wide selection of these in his 2022 fall wardrobe. Polo shirts made in performance fabrics and cotton blends are comfortable and breathable.
Available in a stunning array of colors and patterns, polo shirts are definitely power items to have on hand. Whether in short-sleeved or long-sleeved styles, polo shirts are sharp-looking standalone shirts or perfect to wear under sweaters, cardigans, and blazers.
Shoes for Success and Comfort
The right shoes round out your look.
Loafers are big in 2022—you can't go wrong with this handy, slip-on style of shoe. They look great with many different pants including jeans, twill pants, and chinos.
Other shoe styles also look great in a work-leisure context. These include chukkas, which are ankle-height leather boots, and wool or fabric casual-chic sneakers.
