The Biggest Fits of 2022

The most memorable looks of 2022 proved that it’s not what you wear, but how you wear it that matters—unless we’re talking about Diddy’s fur coat, in which case what really does matter.

When you’ve got sculpted scapulas like Timothée Chalamet’s, it’d be a crime against fashion not to show ’em off. Thankfully, designer Haider Ackermann’s shimmering halter-top-cum-jumpsuit situation ensured Timmy arrived elegantly bare-backed to the Venice premiere of Bones and All.

The multitude of grails in this photo—from Rocky’s Gucci x Adidas gloves to Rihanna’s disco ball headpiece—are all just background noise compared to the one true (prenatal) star of the show.


Donald Glover

NYC, July
ARIS

Sometimes the biggest fit you can wear on the streets of Manhattan is actually not so big at all. In fact, it’s tiny. Barely there. Case in point: the Atlanta star baring almost everything in color-coordinated short shorts and a bucket hat, with dark shades and two gold chains that set them off.


Alana Haim

London, March
Joe Maher

Judging by her flared leather trousers, big-collar jacket, and beefy striped tie—all courtesy of Louis Vuitton—Licorice Pizza’s ’70s-era energy rubbed off on Alana Haim in the best possible way.


Adam Sandler

LA, October
JAST, STAR

Some designers spend years attempting to clash patterns and colors on baggy silhouettes as naturally and artfully as noted anti-fashion icon Adam Sandler does.


Jerrod Carmichael

LA, September
Brian van der Brug

To pick up his first Emmy, Jerrod Carmichael called in a favor from a legend. “Puff Daddy wore this fur in a music video,” he explained on the red carpet. “That’s iconic. It might as well be the Shroud of Turin.”


Justin and Hailey Bieber

Las Vegas, April
Jeff Kravitz

Gigantic suit BF, tasteful gown GF. At the Grammys, the Biebers personified the full spectrum of fashion in 2022 by showing up in the year’s two hottest designer labels: Demna’s Balenciaga and Saint Laurent by Anthony Vaccarello.


Bella Hadid

NYC, September
Jared Siskin

The seemingly random arrangement of a motocross jacket, low-top Uggs, slouchy socks, and wraparound shades is a pro-level style move, but doing it while chowing down on an expertly folded slice is what makes this a supermodel-caliber fit of the year.


Frank Ocean

NYC, May
Gilbert Carrasquillo

Frank Ocean is an established fashion killer, but as this Walking Emoji Guy cosplay proves, he also has a knack for making simple, relaxed clothes look downright transcendent.


Steve Harvey

Dubai, March
Elly Karamoh

Steve Harvey’s transformation from dowdy Family Feud host to honest-to-goodness menswear god is complete.


Nicholas Cage

NYC, April
Gotham

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent? More like the unbearable weight of a massive fit, worn by Nick Cage to the premiere of his latest Hollywood triumph.


Shai Gilgeous-Alexander

Washington, D.C., November
The Hapa Blonde

Shai is an early contender for Most Improved Player on the court this season, but he’s long been an MVP-caliber dresser off of it. This bonkers combo of a Martine Rose berry leather shirt with parachute cargoes keeps his hot streak going strong. 


Joe Burrow

Kansas City, January 
Icon Sportswire

Even before he led the Cincinnati Bengals to their first Super Bowl berth in decades, Joe Brrr single-handedly won the AFC Championship game by showing up in this ice-cold fit: smoky Cartier shades, an oversized sherpa jacket, and a turtleneck-and-chain pairing so strong even The Rock had to applaud it.  


Jonathan Majors

How did Jonathan Majors make his grail-level Visvim vest feel even more, ahem, major? By finishing it off with his signature accessory: a handmade ceramic mug


Steven Yeun 

LA, October
Backgrid

For a guy as stylish as Steven Yeun, even a trip to the chiropractor is an occasion worthy of an A+ off-duty look. Here, he leans on an international assemblage of low-key staples: a embroidered crewneck from France’s Maison Labiche, a techy belt bag from Japan’s Porter-Yoshida, swishy shorts from LA’s Undefeated, and a pair of backwoods-ready Nike ACG kicks. 


Brett Gelman

NYC, May 
Theo Wargo

The man who coined the term “Jaddy” took the Stranger Things fourth season premiere by storm in a head-to-toe Bode ensemble for the ages. 


Luca Guadagnino

Venice, September

There’s perhaps no place on earth better suited to a sunwashed Loewe polo and baggy white jeans than Venice in late summer—a fact Bones and All director Guadagnino understands all too well. 


Elliot Page

NYC, June

The talk show semi-formal dress code is difficult for many to navigate but Elliot Page absolutely crushed it in a sharply-cut Gucci blazer and perfectly washed A.P.C. jeans. 


Serge Ibaka

Paris, June

At Paris Fashion Week, the Bucks center (and scarf aficionado) sought to confirm his place as the Most Stylish Man Over 6’10” by stepping out in this striking Thom Browne tunic-and-skirt set, complete with matching sailor’s hat. 


Eddie Redmayne 

NYC, October
Gotham

Eddie Redmayne managed to make the tried-and-true combination of a sweater and slacks look delightfully freaky by playing with the volume of each: extra-fuzzy, mind-bending mohair up top courtesy of Loewe, and a clean, crisp, and extremely cropped pair of gray trousers down below. 


Tyler, the Creator

NYC, September
Gotham

Tyler doing what Tyler does best: smashing together understated prep staples, high luxury accessories, and offbeat colors in the way only he can. 


Dwayne Johnson

LA, July

Our advice for pulling off a tight tank with flowy pleated trousers, à la The Rock? Don’t skip arm day. 


Seth Rogen 

LA, January

Seth Rogen kicked off a year full of elite fits as strongly as possible, showing up to the Pam & Tommy premiere in a roomy, wide-lapelled, razor-sharp Fear of God suit. 


Benedict Wong

LA, May

Benedict Wong might play Doctor Strange’s sidekick, but that shiny, expertly tailored, midnight blue dinner jacket positively screams leading man. 


Pusha T 

LA, November

Pusha T outdressed a roomful of true-blue style icons at GQ’s Men of the Year party by leveling up his Thom Browne tuxedo with a galaxy of blinding diamond jewelry on his wrists, lapels, ears, and–crucially–in his mouth.
