Winter is getting closer, and as temperatures drop, we can't help but fantasize about what's in store for the next season. Looking ahead, the best way to navigate the dark months is to plan your 2023 wardrobe.
Fashion month definitely didn't disappoint—from the fringes and cutouts at Victoria Beckham's Paris Fashion Week debut to the playful plaid suits and LBDs at the Chanel show, there are plenty of 2023 trends you'll want to embrace.
Over the course of a month, the best examples of fashion were shown in New York, London, then Milan and finally Paris. While the fall/winter 2022-2023 season saw fashion go back to basics, the spring/summer 2023 season brought a festive spirit and sparked imagination with pieces that combined fashion and art.
The 2000s, which recently seemed to be gradually fading away, miraculously survived for another season.Cargo pants were also everywhere, highlighting the houses and labels' desire to serve fashion that fits into everyday life. When it comes to color, the Barbiecore trend has given way to softer shades, including blues, sunset tones and monochrome beige.
Tailoring
Slouched, oversized blazers were trending at Valentino, and even Chanel opted for relaxed versions of its signature boucle jackets in playful pink hues. If you're into tailored tailoring, luckily Victoria Beckham has come up with simple blazers.
Mini dresses
Speaking of the devil, minidresses are back, and the 2023 runway iterations are all about texture. Givenchy's pearl embellishments and Chanel's belted LBDs lend a certain luxury, while Versace's shimmery purple chromes are edgy in the best sense of the word.
Lace
Lace was at the peak of its popularity, with many designers favoring wide maxis with steep necklines. Burberry's belated London Fashion Week show featured lingerie-inspired pieces, while Dior and Versace exuded gothic glamour.
Fringe
Versace's buttery leather fringe had a cool-girl-meets-cowboy look, while Victoria Beckham rocked ra-ra minidresses and ultra-kinetic hemlines.
Thigh slits
The dramatic bombshell cut we're used to seeing on the red carpet is making its way into 2023. Silky slip dresses at Givenchy, colorful floral dresses at Dries Van Noten and glossy midis at Prada are paving the way—and there's a lot of love for it.
Denim
For the 2023 season, designers have made denim sexy - who would have thought? Asymmetrical fitted shirts paired with soft brown coordinates at A.W.A.K.E. had a certain hippie glam, while Bella Hadid's Givenchy buckle bra exuded utilitarian compassion.
Dresses with cutouts
Cutouts are all the rage right now, and British innovator Poster Girl is leading the charge with its stretchy, geometric designs. Next season, however, we'll love more voluminous necklines, inspired by brands like Andreadamo, Valentino and A.W.A.K.E.
