The Prada Spring Summer 2022 Menswear Collection is All About Simple Pleasures

Into the sun.

The Prada Spring Summer 2022 Menswear Collection is All About Simple Pleasures
If the Prada menswear show last season was about touch and tactility then Miuccia Prada must have her mind on simple pleasures this Spring Summer 2022. And by simple, we mean primal pleasures — going to the ocean to soak up the sun, dancing to the rhythm of a beat without a care and because #trending is showing some leg. Body baring, if you will call it.

Let’s not forget Miuccia’s philosophy for design and specifically, her view on fashion. Fashion is made for one’s life and it has to be useful. It has to make people feel better so that they can live better, pieces of clothing that helps them define their personalities.

In short (quite literally, actually), the act of wearing clothes has to be joyful.


However with Miuccia Prada being Miuccia Prada, this instinct for the Prada Spring Summer 2022 menswear show has become a strong showing of what makes Prada menswear itself, quite in a league of its own — Belgian shrimp fisherman bucket hats with triangular logo pockets (perhaps, a nod to Raf’s heritage itself), no-brainer knits (again, a reference to Raf) and romper suits that are nod itself, to Fall Winter 2016’s sailor collection.

Also, we are in the mood where we hanker for a new proposition next season, the show has skorts. Yes, skorts. Continue scrolling for our favourite looks.

Look 28:
Another “Miu Miu Boy” trope that has seen its way into the collection, a biker jacket that toughens up something soft.

Look 31: 
Perhaps, it can be said that the Prada Spring Summer 2022 menswear show is a compilation of Miuccia Prada’s favourite things — in this look, it’s the nubby cardigan.



Look 33: 
The Linea Rossa sunglasses are back and ready to be introduced for a new generation of fashion fanatics.
