Ermenegildo Zegna Continues to Refresh Menswear Staples for Summer 2022

Combining the sartorial finesse of the house’s roots with a functional, utilitarian mindset, the collection checked all the boxes from comfort, to elevated style, to wearability. Roomy, no-fuss silhouettes created a suite of timeless styles familiar to the classic menswear wardrobe, updated through the use of lively earth tones and offbeat, simplistic elements—like ties belting waistlines, sizeable pockets, and kimono-informed shapes. Modeled by men and women, garments were worn oversized, trousers implemented long hems and wide legs, and looks were styled in monochrome with understated accessories like large eyewear and workman’s bags.

“My aim at Zegna is to create an accord between the essence of tailoring, which is our reason for being, and the rhythm of the modern world. What I have done is a rewiring of luxury crafting, following a flow that frees the man while keeping the distinctiveness, offering pieces that are easy to wear as they are inventive. Effortlessness is the key,” said Artistic Director Alessandro Sartori.

Standout looks include an all-over brown pairing of a duster coat and trousers worn with white sneakers, a white suit with raw hems worn over a distressed t-shirt; and a khaki pairing that reminded us of a military pilot’s uniform. We also loved several of the more casual styles, like a knit polo and shorts in monochrome lavender,  a pale yellow t-shirt with drawstring pants, and a layered look featuring cream pleated trousers with a structured tee and a faded army green jacket.
