We know we can't predict the future, but the fashion industry is constantly doing its best to predict what we'll wear next season—from shoes to bags, jewelry to color trends. In turn, looking at the fashion of the future can subconsciously influence our mood and wish list.
But whatever happens in six months, we can be sure that at the first sign of a winter thaw we will feel the anticipation of warmer, longer days ahead. The spring 2023 fashion trends for women 35 and older will reflect these feelings. From weightless capes that Diego Abba, CEO of Italist, calls voluminous, editorial and simply chic, to fashionable and functional cargo pockets on every piece and bold colors, the spring/summer 2023 trends are worth looking forward to. Luckily for us, we can start buying them now.
Crazy about cargo
The khaki cargo pants we've been accustomed to wearing for years have gotten a bad rap. But this season we've learned that not all cargo is created equal, as evidenced by spring's abundance of precious cargo styles that strike the perfect balance of functionality and coolness.
From silky floral cargo pants from Dior to cool cargo jackets from Loewe, cargo is the old and new kid in town.
Raincoats of all shapes and sizes
As far back as the 11th century, cloaks have proven their ability to protect against the elements while offering warmth and an unrivaled level of sophistication. Trench coats have never ceased to be a wardrobe staple, but they have evolved from cape-like silhouettes with a hood for outdoor enthusiasts to fashionable trench coats that can transform almost any outfit, as seen on the Valentino and Gabriela Hearst runways this season. It's hard not to admire their superhero qualities. We recommend pairing them with tailored trousers and killer high heel boots.
Second skin
For spring, the most suitable dress is a form-fitting, “second skin” dress with thin strategic cutouts. From Altuzarra's long, floor-length cutout dresses to Bally's unexpected cutouts and Jil Sander's sophisticated bouclé midi dresses, leather gets the nod from the most prestigious design houses.
Denim clothes
It's no secret that denim is a favorite fabric, but spring's new wave of denim will go beyond your everyday denim category: the more denim, the better. From dramatic denim scarves at Alaïa to denim trench coats at Chloé and super-cool looks at Khaite, even denim haters (and they do exist!) will find a denim piece they love.If you're on the fence about head-to-toe denim, you can pair this season's maxi skirts, which have a vintage '90s appeal, with a simple wedge or a cropped white tee.
True Romance
We are partial to romance, so the spring catwalks were full of flowers, ruffles and feminine frills. From embroidered pastel flowers from Bottega Veneta to intricate lace and crinoline dresses from Christian Dior and floral motifs from Loewe, we can confidently say that florals can be innovative in spring. Choose neutral tones with romantic themes that you love.
Leather
For spring, designers are showing off their love for leather with rich leather pieces suitable for the office. As the weather warms up, bulky outerwear gives way to sleek fitted blazers and midi dresses. For spring, consider leather pieces, which are more stretchy and work as a first layer rather than just outerwear. If you prefer not to wear leather, there are a growing number of man-made alternatives on the market thanks to sustainable designers like Stella McCartney and Nanushka.
conclusions
Age is not a reason to deny yourself fashionable looks. After all, after 35, on the contrary, women develop an elusive charm and enchantment. Don’t be afraid to experiment, the main thing is to choose an image based on where you are going – be it to the office or to a party.
