Top 80 Men's Fashion Trends in May

From Subversive French Menswear to '90s-Era Sports Sneakers

— May 7, 2022 — Fashion
Spring is in full force and the long-awaited summer season is just four weeks away; and, as result, the May 2022 men's fashion trends are chock-full of brighter colors, lightweight designs, and activewear innovations. Alas, it appears the release of heavy-duty winterized apparel has officially ended thanks to the launch of several exciting warm weather-ready clothing collections.

For example, Paris-based fashion label KENZO partnered with designer NIGO to launch a Spring/Summer capsule centered around a poppy flower motif. Meanwhile, leading menswear label 3.1 Phillip Lim unveiled 'KIT 3,' an expansive collection of lightweight garments and athleisure staples made using breezy summer-friendly materials. In addition, several brands even began rolling out new sandal silhouettes; Huckberry released the rugged and highly-functional All-Weather Basecamp Sandal, while Dr. Martens introduced the Nikolai slides, a men's sandal that borrows design elements from gladiator-era footwear.
