Men's Accessories: 2022 Trends

Men’s accessories are a timeless choice, whether you’re buying them for yourself or as a gift, any time of year. Our journey exploring men’s fashion trends for 2022 reveals how brands are responding to the changing lifestyle and work needs of the contemporary man, reflecting his desire to travel again and share experiences—even through accessories that have been reimagined in both style and functionality.

Especially during the summer season, the desire for renewal and optimism is also expressed through a reinterpreted aesthetic, featuring whimsical combinations, vibrant accessories, and iconic pieces from classic collections—many of which have been reimagined with a sustainable twist.

The aesthetic appreciation for fashion accessories—once almost exclusively the domain of a female audience—has now become part of men’s values, thereby increasing the search for and demand for dedicated accessories to be showcased in both work and leisure settings. This is the case, for example, with stationery items such as planners and document holders, credit card holders, and stylish tech accessories—all convenient for use in the office or while traveling; but also more classic items, such as belts, men’s bags, and men’s wallets, which are increasingly being reimagined in terms of functionality, comfort, and style in the new collections from the most prominent fashion brands.

Men’s leather accessories are once again the stars of the summer season: natural leather remains a timeless classic in the new business collections, with high-quality, meticulously crafted items that are increasingly appreciated even by a younger audience.

This trend is driven by the brands’ ability to combine the traditional design of leather goods with increasingly fashionable and unconventional lines and colors; but also by their ability to innovate the product itself: a prime example is the “Piquadro” credit card holder, a convenient and elegant accessory equipped with an RFID anti-fraud system for contactless cards—a stylish yet functional accessory that meets the evolving needs of using cards and cash.
