Spring 2022’s MEN’Swear shows have come and gone, but the street style as seen on showgoers has a long-lasting impact. With the return of in-person shows, it’s no surprise that the guests’ ensembles were on point—and we couldn’t help but notice the men’s style in particular. There was look after look of effortlessly cool summer outfits, many of which we’d happily re-create.
There were silky pants in jewel tones paired with open-weave knit tanks and plenty of printed button-ups styled with floor-grazing tailored trousers—not to mention some very good accessories including pastel bucket hats, brown-tinted aviators, chunky flat sandals, and silver everyday jewelry. Even a soft pouch clutch and logo-clad underarm bag made appearances.
So whether you’re planning out outfits for upcoming travel or simply looking to up your summer style game, let the below stylish showgoers from the spring 2022 MEN’Swear collections be your guide. We’ve recreated some of their standout looks below.
H3: Wavy Baby
Trich, as it’s known in the picking community, is a body-focused repetitive behavior. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders defines it as the “recurrent pulling out of one’s hair, resulting in hair loss” despite “repeated attempts to decrease or stop hair pulling.” This isn’t over-plucking every so often, says Amy Wechsler, a psychodermatologist who is double board certified in dermatology and psychiatry. “The damage makes [the] disorder,” she emphasizes. “It’s causing scarring, it’s causing hair loss, and it’s not easy to stop.” (The same goes for other BFRBs, like dermatillomania, or skin picking, and onychophagia, better known as nail biting, both of which are also on the rise.) Sufferers tend to favor a specific area—their scalp, eyelashes, bikini line, wherever. Many, like me, take their urges out on their brows.
H2: How can the home workspace be improved?
“Hair pulling can be on the spectrum of anxiety disorder and worsen during periods of anxiety,” Weschler notes. Since the start of COVID, “there’s been an uptick in every anxiety disorder,” trich included. (Honestly, the pandemic has already taken so much—lives, jobs, the quiet peace of never knowing the word Cuomosexual. Must it take our eyebrows too?)

As someone who’s been sober for 23 years, I have spent a lot of time working on myself. I have logged hours of AA stepworks, months of therapy. I am self-aware enough to know the truth about my own fear of missing out and the addictive nature of the internet as a whole.
