Jan 12, 2022
You don’t have to make any New Year’s resolutions to start out on the right foot in 2022. Whether you’re back in the gym for the first time in forever or still summoning up the energy to get off the couch, you’ll get where you want to be with small, incremental changes over time. And if your wellness and health are in as much shape as you want them to be, there’s never a better type to refresh your personal style for the new year.
No matter what your goals are, pulling together men’s clothing essentials for an unapologetically stylish 2022 is one simple and let’s face it, fun, way to put your best foot forward. This year is all about doing what makes you feel good, and here are some must-have men’s wardrobe essentials to get you going.
Start With Shoes
At Hibbett | City Gear, shoes are kinda our thing. We eat, sleep and breathe the newest releases, and we swoon over those stylish standbys. In our not-so-humble expert opinion, we believe there are a few types of shoes every man should own:
- Casual sneakers: Looking for a worthy low top to add to your wardrobe? Choose an adidas Forum Low or New Balance 574 to elevate your lifestyle game.
- Boots: Go for a chunky, utilitarian style that’s as functional as it is fashionable. Timberland boots are always winners or try a pair of modern Ralph Lauren Oslo boots.
- Athletic or training shoes: Break those personal records, but make sure you have the right pair of training shoes to get you there. Try the Ultraboost 22, the Nike VaporMax 2021 or a Reebok Floatride to get you where you want to be.
- High tops: Start stong and stay stylish with a pair of retro-style Nike Blazers or Jordan Pro Strongs.
- Dress shoes: For a more casual dress shoe, choose an all-white or tonal black Air Force 1 shoe, classic adidas Original Superstars or a pair of Puma Suede sneakers . For something a little more preppy and pulled together, go with an UGG Neumel or Clark’s men’s boot like the brand’s ever-popular Wallabee.
- Slipper shoes: Working from home or going to school virtually for a bit? Slipper shoes make it easy to keep feet toasty and comfortable, even if you’re just kicking back on a random Saturday. Choose from fluffy faux fur styles like the UGG Fluff It and Fluff You. Or go with the always-versatile Crocs Clogs.
Add in a Top, Tank or Tee
Sure, every man should still keep a tailored suit in his closet to dust off for special events, but as life eases back into the groove of things after the holiday season, so too can your wardrobe. From tees and hoodies to sweaters and light jackets, your men’s essential clothing lineup isn’t complete without the following:
- A white, black or grey T-shirt
- A range of short- and long-sleeve casual fashion graphic tees
- A hoodie, sweatshirt or pullover
- Dress shirts or button-ups
- Jackets (denim jacket or windbreaker)
- Polo or other casual collared shirts
Pair It With Pants
Joggers, jeans and athletic shorts are pretty standard men’s apparel staples. Yes, like that suit you keep tucked away, a couple pair of dress pants are nice to have in your wardrobe too, but you’re sure to spend more time in the essentials. Make sure to stock your closet with a range of pant options, from looser fitting casual athletic shorts to slim-fitting denim jeans, jorts and athleisure-style joggers.
- Denim: A classic fit, a distressed pair, shorts — there’s no such thing as too much denim! Are you a jeans junkie? Check out our Do’s and Don’ts of Styling Men’s Denim.
- Running pants
- Athletic shorts
- Casual canvas or cotton pants
- Casual chino-style shorts
- Fashion sweats or joggers with tapered cuffs and ankles
Finish Your Fit
NBA star LeBron James is the epitome of cool. Even if he’s wearing sweats, you’re hard-pressed to miss the studs in his ears, a bracelet or two on his wrist and a gold chain around from his neck. Accesories round out and finish off your fit. Complete your look from to toe head with jewelry or if bling isn’t your thing a simple watch, hat or a pair of shades can do the trick.
