More than a hundred shows in New York, Milan, London and Paris shaped fashion trends from fashion designers for the next fall-winter 2022-2023 season.
A few spring 2023 collections, such as Mowalola's Paris Fashion Week debut, have already hit the runway, but plenty of trend evidence is yet to come.
Timeless denim
What denim lacks in novelty (on its way to becoming the next It combo) it makes up for in versatility. The future of denim looks a little different: denim bralettes and corsets on top, mini or maxi skirts on the bottom (and we can't guarantee you won't see a denim bikini). For spring, ditch the blue denim and try this trend in green, yellow or orange.
Goodbye shorts, hello lorts
Shorts have suddenly become the defining trend of summer 2022 (we're talking about ultra-long, especially baggy shorts), and fashionistas have begun wearing them with grandfather-style tops and heels.Before you write off this trend as a passing microtrend, it's worth considering that it could evolve into something more versatile, like thin long shorts in a variety of fabrics, colors and prints that can be worn with sneakers or business casual. casual.
Grunge from the past
If you've been secretly trying to shake off your collective nostalgia for 2000s fashion, you'll have better luck this year. While there's no sign of Y2K fashion going away anytime soon, spring 2023 could see an overhaul of the aesthetic (and you can already find a few trendsetters). Consider swapping your bedazzled patterned jeans for a more tailored, sultry counterpart from the era.
Dresses over pants
If there's one theme to fashion trends these days, it's that anything goes. The debate about self-expression in style is more relevant than ever, and with it comes more eclectic mainstream trends - some with unexpected layering combinations, like dresses over trousers. It's not a doubt until you try it: the sheer variety of dresses and pants on the market makes this a combo that looks completely different every time, whether it's styling a fishnet dress over jeans or pairing a long tunic dress with pants.
Updated models
Maximalism has been king for a few seasons now, but if the latest models to hit the runway and take social media by storm are anything to go by, we're going back to basics.However, the basics boom is never complete without a few twists on the norm—think jeans with standout details like cargo pockets or contrast stitching, dressier cargo pants, and basic tops with deconstructed or asymmetrical necklines.
Use lightweight fabrics
When fashion is in a state of extreme pendulum swings, as it has been since the start of the pandemic, it is not uncommon to see two trends at once that seem to be the opposite of each other. If you're looking to steer clear of leather and bright hardware as Y2K takes on a darker look, try instead using a mix of light hues and airy fabrics, like lightweight, sheer button-downs and flowy maxi dresses with ultra-feminine, spring-inspired details.
Transparent dresses
Sheer dresses have taken on a new purpose in fashion, moving beyond their role as beach cover-up to becoming a style that's on any fashionista's radar, especially when it comes to her going-out wardrobe. As the trend progresses into 2023, it's likely to see more creativity and risk-taking with looks (think bikini-style layering for more than just the beach, or adding a vest on top), as well as designers freshening up the classic dress from transparent material, adding elements such as deconstruction, statement silhouettes and embellishments.
