Top Trends for 2022

From hats down to boots and all the apparel and accessories in between, there are a lot of exciting trends happening in the year ahead. Check out the top picks for 2022 from a few of our favorite brands.

American Hat Company

“The new Evergreen color from American Hat Company is sure to be a hit for 2022. It follows the same lines of putting a ‘twist on tradition’ that we forged ahead with in creating the Midnight Blue and Black Cherry. However, we are most proud of the homage it pays to our brave Green Berets of the United States Army Special Forces. We don’t know them all, but we owe them all, which is why our new Evergreen color, along with every hat that we make, proudly displays a flag pin on the back of the hat.” —Katie Lynn Armstrong, American Hat Company

Available in 10X and 40X wherever American Hats are sold. americanhat.net

Lucchese

“We are seeing more interest in colorful styles — not just the neutrals — especially for women. This spring is going to be more playful with material choices and hues. Additionally, over the past year, we have seen that tall boots are drawing in customers from the Western market as well as mainstream fashion, and it doesn’t look like it’ll be slowing down anytime soon. Our Priscilla boot is at the top of the market, and we are excited to continue offering it and adding more takes in the future.” —Victoria Mechler, Lucchese

Durango

“Heading into 2022, we are seeing Western influence trending in all footwear categories, but very much so in the work boot market. There is stronger demand for work products due to a growing number of construction and infrastructure jobs. Many of these consumers prefer the feel, look, and lifestyle of a core Western boot. The Maverick XP platform was designed with both comfort and technology in mind to satisfy those consumers who are on their feet for extended periods and want a core Western profile.” —Mark Recchi, Durango Boots

Double D Ranchwear

"Western motifs are really having a moment—saddles, horses, horseshoes, saddle blanket patterns—it will all have a heavy presence, as well as Western style itself, like twangy suits in comfort-stretch fabrics that can go from the office to the arena. The color story is going to be saturated rusty oranges, tempered with minty greens and turquoise. It’s bold and balanced; there’s a strength and a beauty to it.” —Cheryl McMullen, Double D Ranch

Wrangler

“Wrangler will always be the brand of authenticity for Western fashion. Collaborating with a TV series like Yellowstone brings the lifestyle we’ve embodied for decades into the spotlight and allows us to reach a new audience showing them what it means to evoke the cowboy spirit. We’re thrilled to be able to add a layer of authenticity to fans’ closets as the Western lifestyle continues to surge in popularity in mainstream culture and fashion.” —Holly Wheeler, Wrangler

The Diamondback rattlesnake belt with alligator tips is currently our best seller and has performed well in every location we have put it in.” —Bryan Wynn, Bull & Briar
