3 Men's Lifestyle Trends in 2022

It's a new year and, for the first time in quite a while, it feels like there is a semblance of normality within the world. The year ahead promises to be exciting as we return to old favourites such as travelling and—you know—socialising with other people again.

However, we're now living in the age of the 'new normal' and things aren't the same as they once were. In this blog post, we will highlight three of the biggest men's lifestyle trends to look out for in 2022.

From new travel habits to virtual reality fitness, this year is going to look a little different.

1. Virtual Reality Meets Fitness

The metaverse, the so-called digital environment where we will be spending more and more of our time, has gotten a lot of attention in the past number of months. A lot of this attention has been on its ability to create virtual business meetings even when staff is working remotely.

However, there are also major implications for fitness, too. Virtual reality fitness technically is coming on-stream and it's a way to freshen up your at-home workout sessions. From immersive fitness-based games to tried-and-trusted HIIT workouts, virtual reality fitness is going to take 2022 by storm.

2. It's Time to Travel

British people are planning to travel in 2022. In fact, 55% of us say that we are planning to take more than 2 holidays this year. While many of us are looking forward to returning to old favourites, 44% say that they want to try somewhere new.

One of the big travel habits that we will see this year is self-drive road trips. In addition to the health and safety benefits of travel away from the crowded masses of airports and resorts, luxury caravanning and glamping let you travel at your own pace and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature. The Channel Tunnel is your gateway to an incredible holiday this year.

3. Say Hello to Trainers

Trainers, or sneakers as our friends across the pond say, have their roots in sport and physical activity. However, these days they can be worn pretty much everywhere, and 2022 is really about to put this to the test.

From old school and minimalist trainers that you can pair with jeans to smart trainers that can be worn to the office, this year we will see that anything goes.

As an example of men's lifestyle sneakers for 2022, just take a look at these recently released James Bond 007 Adidas trainers, perfect for your next virtual reality workout.
