Over recent years, there has been an increase in men taking a much more targeted approach to personal grooming than in the past. According to Happi, today's men are more comfortable with grooming and with looking good than in the past.
From our ‘InBetweener’ trend, exploring genderless beauty, to ‘Mindful Men’, those that want natural and sustainable products, there’s a variety of men’s care trends brands can tap into for this Summer and beyond.
Macho Retrofit

InBetweener
The InBetweener overcomes stereotypes and likes to adopt female skincare routines. Serums, masks, patches – he knows his way through multi-step regimes and is not shy of using make up. His appearance is important to him, and he wants to be sleek and on fleek. As the beauty industry embraces greater diversity, the lines between masculine and feminine products begin to blur, which is embraced by this young and modern man. Click here to find out more.
