It's time. New fall/winter 2022 designs from major fashion houses include longer sleeves, more layers, and chunkier shoes . Camion's fashion team combed through editorials, catalogs, and periodicals to identify the season's top five trends . Our curated collection of mood boards reflects the current style landscape with its wide range of influences, from vintage to modern (after all, fashion is a perpetual renaissance).
From the leather -clad villain of the 50s to the minimalist military style of the 70s, to the stylish jeans and Parisian trousers of the 50s, there's something for everyone (good) tastes. Enjoy!
50s bad boy trend
James Dean, Elvis Presley, and John Travolta . It smells good (copper and brilliantine) and feels good (silk and gasoline). We're off to the States after a 70-year absence.
Beneath their greasy, dark hair, a group of black jackets peers from behind their Ray-Ban "Wayfarer" sunglasses as they watch pedestrians pass by on a dimly lit street in an East Coast city. They carry a serrated knife in the back pocket of their black pants and a 15-minute sale for anyone unlucky enough to cross their path. The bad boys of the 1950s are back, but this time they're armed and dangerous .
A white T-shirt is replaced by a piece of soft wool, sneakers become a little more sophisticated, and glasses a little more square. Among the iconic pieces, we still find the leather jacket and black jeans.
Over the past decade, knee-high boots would have been a must-have for this ensemble. But in 2022, we're slipping on the sock and teaming it with a pair of Derby Adieu shoes , this time with a ridged sole to maintain the original feel, a point further accentuated by slipping on our favorite Ami jeans. Another evolution towards updating the ensemble is the introduction of a lightweight merino wool sweater from Scotch & Soda in a soft , yet not-so-contrasting green .
It contrasts nicely with a Chevignon leather Perfecto , the only real remnant of the bad boy stereotype of yesteryear. Finally, Izipizi sunglasses become rounded , elegant and sophisticated , completing the desired softening effect of traction .

The Brooklyn Technicolor Trend
Without a doubt, the trendiest neighborhood in New York is Brooklyn. There are fewer tourists than in Manhattan , but more people than in Queens , making it the place to be for anyone who wants to experience New York without being overwhelmed by dizzying heights and constant sirens. However, before it became the hipster haven it is today, some areas of the borough were considered dangerous , frequented by " pimps " or American-style gangsters.
This was during the golden age of Technicolor , around the 1960s and 1970s. Our style bridges the gap between then and today, making Huggy the Good-Tip a suave, gentle- as-a-lamb gentleman .
The Fall/Winter 2022 menswear season isn't afraid to experiment, introducing bold new hues into our wardrobes. This new color palette welcomes earthy tones like cognac and camel to coexist with sand, clay, and terracotta in the glow of organic tones . Here, we put on our best " unsheathed " face by donning a pair of oversized Tom Ford aviator sunglasses and an Oakwood jacket with a vintage leather face .
The rest of the outfit is more sophisticated , consisting of velvet pants (always ubiquitous this season) from Ami, classic white sneakers from Jak' , and a thick flannel or heavy cotton shirt pressed over a t-shirt to emphasize its cocoon shape. At APC, this is our go-to option because of its reliable quality.
Commando trend
It's time to clean up this collection after the thug and the pimp. When it comes to discipline, who better than the military ? Roomy yet sturdy pants, technical sleeveless shirts, versatile vests , and tall, crater-soled boots are just some of the military clothing items that have become an integral part of our wardrobes. Pieces like these have found their way into our wardrobes due to their functionality and quality of design , whether they were originally released as top-notch military surplus or have been reinvented by brands producing workwear or casual wear.
This season, however, the military aesthetic is less heavy on combat boots and more on organic textures and muted tones.
Basically, "Rambo" is over. Indiana Jones is the latest movie celebrity to adopt a military style. This season's motivation is less about stealth and more about exploration and archaeology .
Even though traditional military green is still present in uniforms , it becomes more vibrant and appears as an "extra" element when used to complete a silhouette . You should give it beige, coffee, softer colors that appeal to minimalism . Flat pockets are now more discreet , lines are cleaner, and velvet has joined nylon and twill, but the " bulletproof " quality is still there in the form of practical and durable components like reinforced stress points and hidden zippered compartments.
Here we see the classic combination of a pair of Palladium shoes with a Carhartt vest and a sleeveless Chevignon technical vest. Ralph Lauren 's iconic baseball cap is now available in a coffee shade (oh, how I love coffee !) and dad jeans are getting a third chance at life. So, we're selling this lightly used acne piece.
