For the menswear market, FW22 is highlighting the impact of eyewear to elevate a look. From impactful shields to graphic frames, especially in contrasting colors, the latest accessories are adding a visible twist to the silhouettes. Some designers are opting for protective details, like large sizing or sporty racing fits, in order to dress the current #gorpcore trend that seeks to dress a client out in the wild. For reassurance, classic aviators are having a moment again, while subtle cat-eyes begin to explore the new concepts of masculinity.

As face masks fade away, eyewear remains as a protective and stylish cover for the face.

Post face-mask, transparency is adding to the experience of a liberated and uncovered face, while keeping an element of futuristic protectiveness. The most edgy look was proposed in mini glasses, seemingly too narrow, that explore our understanding of good taste and resonate with an experimental and fashion-forward youth market.
