The Best Jumpsuits for Men in 2022

If you’re a guy who follows fashion, you’ve likely seen a peculiar trend cropping up in menswear over the past year. A one-piece garment trend, to be precise. Seemingly all of a sudden, dudes are splashed across the pages of fashion editorials wearing “onesies” in all manner of cuts, fabrics, and styles. The athletic hooded romper. The iconic blue-collar coverall (or boilersuit, as it’s known in the U.K.). The rakish jumpsuit with its flattering shoulder-to-waist ratio. And it’s not just the usual suspects (Carhartt, Dickies, et. al.) offering these workwear-inspired garments. Even high-end brands like Fendi, Gucci, and Bottega Veneta have jumped into the jumpsuit game.

It’s undeniable that the men’s jumpsuit, when worn correctly, offers guys the best of both worlds: supreme comfort and effortless style. The question is, why has this garment been such an overlooked category in men’s fashion?

There’s a reason that these one-piece garments have been worn by cultural icons throughout the 20th and 21st centuries, including Paul Newman, Brad Pitt, Devendra Barnhart, Kanye West, Ashton Kutcher, the Beastie Boys, even Winston Churchill. These one-piece garments offer the comfort and convenience of sweats with the tailored structure of high-end selvedge denim or fine suiting fabrics. Plus, it moves seamlessly from loungewear to workwear, and offers timeless working-class style. You can let it all hang out but nobody will ever know. No wonder your girlfriend has ten of these in her closet.

Best Jumpsuits for Men

Dickies Cotton Long Sleeve Coveralls

The Don Draper of jumpsuits, this model from Dickies has it all: a generous fit in the shoulders and chest, a bi-swing back for full mobility, and elastic inserts at the waist that are quite forgiving. Built out of durable twill with brass hardware, this jumpsuit is just as durable in function as it is in form.

The retro roots of this fitted jumpsuit are on full display with a nipped-in waist, tapered leg, and open collar. The perfectly proportioned fit makes it ideal for taking up parkour, dropping into a breakdancing battle, or just showing off the muscle tone and flexibility you’ve developed during lockdown. Along with the pale blue acid wash, we like the responsible sourcing of this jumpsuit’s material.

Tips for How to Wear Your Jumpsuit

Never belt! (Unless the belt is built into the jumpsuit, that is.) If you want a more structured look in your jumpsuit, choose a more fitted model or get your jumpsuit custom tailored.

Buttoning your jumpsuit up to the neck gives your look some ultra-mod polish, while folding up the leg cuffs and popping the collar makes you effortlessly debonair. For casual style with a little extra sizzle, roll up the sleeves to the elbows and unbutton or unzip enough to show a tank or tee underneath.

Mix up your jumpsuit’s monochromatic look with a bold striped tee underneath. If you’re feeling extra daring, roll the legs up to mid-shin and wear a matching pair of rugby socks pulled up high underneath.

Formalize your jumpsuit with a crisp collared oxford shirt, buttoned all the way up, underneath a partly undone upper half.

Ben Sherman gets help from Denny McCarthy for new golf drop
New Golf Drop won't improve your putting game, but you'll look better
Denny McCarthy in Ben Sherman Golf

Ben Sherman became one of the premiere shirtmakers in the men's style industry when they launched his first button-down after watching jazz musicians rock the button-down shirts. When the Mod Movement moved through London and eventually the rest of the UK, men began dressing smartly in tailored suits, skinny ties and lapels, and pointed shoes. Men would spend more on the Chelsea boots of the Swinging Sixties and the collared shirt, making Ben Sherman a mainstay in their closet. Now, the brand spans the spectrum of men's style and has launched a golf line that offers style and comfort. The Ben Sherman Golf Collection, endorsed by Denny McCarthy, is a stellar continuation of the line but with only one setback.
Won't make you a better putter, but it'll make you look like one

Denny McCarthy is one of the best putters in the world. On the PGA Tour, he averaged twenty-three puts in a round, five fewer than the average golfer on the tour. He is the guy you go to watch if your putting game is as bad as ours. He is also one of the tour's better-styled golfers, as the spectrum spans from Tiger Woods and his basic colors to John Daly with his "just rolled out of bed and still smoking his morning cigarette" look. McCarthy is a guy who found the middle ground with attractive looks and colorful options without going overboard. His endorsement of the Ben Sherman Golf Collection gives you the guidance you need to look like Denny on the course. While Ben Sherman can't make you one of the greatest putters in the world, they can at least help you look like one.

Tua Tagovailoa uses inspiration from his roots in collab with Perry Ellis
Perry Ellis x Tua Tagovailoa are Always Ready
Tua Tagovailoa in a Perry Ellis Suit

Perry Ellis was a pioneer in the fashion industry. He never seemed to want to do things the way everyone else did. He was the kind of man who was always forward-thinking and wanted fashion to be fun, not just stylish. His brand continues to be on the cutting edge of fashion, always making statements you can carry in your daily wardrobe. The brand does it again with another Perry Ellis x Tua Tagovailoa collaboration that blends the superstar quarterback's elevated fashion sense with his roots in Hawaii.

"I don't make fashion -- I make clothes," the late designer once said. "The clothes cross all the points of my personal lifestyle. They're to wear in the city or the country, to work, or to go out." The sentiment rings true still today with the new collection with Tua, who finds the same cross point with his style and his heritage.

Subdued colors and luxurious fabrics define Buck Mason FW2024
Fall blues, browns, and grays dominate the collection
Buck Mason coat and sweater

The fall season is when the colors of the world begin to show off. The brilliant oranges, reds, yellows, and greens shine through the summer's looks of vegetation to remind you that, while the season is the sign that change is coming, they are still alive and well for the time being. For the man's wardrobe, that tends to be the opposite direction. While the world is showing off its majestic hues, we men tend to subdue our colors and go in for the deeper colors that don't shine as brightly. Burgundy, forest green, brown, gray, and blue seem to reign during these months. Maybe we don't want to steal the Earth's thunder. In any case, Buck Mason leaned heavily into the idea with their new fall lineup. The Buck Mason fall collection lands with a healthy grouping of cashmere, flannel, and some very select colors perfect for the autumn.
A collection of blues, grays, and browns

When you look at the new collection from one of our favorite brands, the first thing that will stand out is the commitment to the subdued hues of the fall tradition. The browns of the tweed overcoat and the rugby polo will work perfectly as you walk through the park in the changing foliage. The blues of the sport coat, suit, and denim will keep you stylishly casual in the office, and the gray scale from black to white will bring it all together in a sensationally timeless capsule that speaks volumes for the season.
