Say goodbye to stark styles and hello to vibrant hues and bold silhouettes. This season is all about bringing back nostalgic trends, but with a modern and fresh twist. From cargo pants to sheer dresses and fun accessories, we're going big this year. Experiment with different fabrics and textures, colors and styles - add layers and play with a wider color palette. If your wardrobe needs an update, this list is for you. We've rounded up the best street style trends from spring/summer 2023 fashion weeks that are sure to inspire you.
Sets with the same prints
Nothing beats a matching print. Not only are they super cute, but they're easy to wear just about anywhere. Without having to pick a complementary color, you can rock this look effortlessly and effortlessly. Try wearing a striped suit, jacket and miniskirt, or a long tunic with an identical pair of trousers.
The special thing about these outfits is the streamlined effect they give to your body, you can elongate your limbs and instantly create a fun silhouette. Accessorize it with complementary shades like socks, shoes or a bag, or add something in a completely opposite shade. Plus, you can mix and match with other styles if you want—it's multiple looks in one.
Neon accessories
Shades brighter than the sun have gone in and out of fashion over the past few years, but now they're making a comeback with a bang. While we're not seeing as much neon-hued clothing this season, it's all about the accessories. Think shoes, bags, sunglasses and jewelry. Add fresh life to neutrals by incorporating these pops of color into your look—a pair of yellow heels is sure to liven up an oversized blazer or simple black trousers. The key to creating this look is choosing your accessories - to create a cohesive look, choose items that are similar, if not the same colors.
Transparent dresses
Inspired by Dior and Prada, sheer dresses are back this season. This trend can be styled in a variety of ways, whether influenced by the 1947 New Look or grunge. Pair these sheer styles with a simple white tank for a laid-back, effortless '90s style, and throw on a bomber jacket for extra cool. Alternatively, go for a corset silhouette and A-line skirt, minimal jewelry and sleek heels. Play with textures for a multifaceted look - an updated take on a classic fabric.
Bright multicolor knitwear
As the weather gets colder, we naturally gravitate toward neutrals, but this year, why not go the opposite route and say goodbye to those old gray knit sweaters? This season, bright colors and fun patterns, vibrant hues and bold prints are all the rage. Worn with blue jeans, shorts or a miniskirt, they add a new layer of unexpected style that is fun and unique. The beauty of this trend is its versatility; pair it with a white t-shirt or turtleneck, or wear nothing at all. You will provide sunshine every day, even if it is cold outside.
While you might not have expected cargo pants to become one of fashion week's biggest trends five years ago, trendsetters are here to prove they're cooler than ever. Wear them with a simple white tank for a casual yet elevated trend. To avoid looking like you're fishing, swap your sneakers for stiletto heels or ankle boots. Another important element to incorporate into your look is layering, bright colors are a fun addition to military khaki. However, you can stay within the palette by adding similar shades in the form of cardigans or jackets.
Dresses with cutouts
From weddings to the runway, cutout dresses have been all the rage for years, and they're here to stay. Instead of the traditional torso cutouts we're used to seeing, expect a silhouette that shows skin from the side, under the bust and ribcage, or across the entire side of the body. These body-hugging styles are bold, but can be covered up with a long cardigan or coat. To take your look from day to night, swap your boots or sneakers for heels or sandals, and style your hair in an elegant bun.
Ballet shoes
From the early 00s until today, ballet flats have been a controversial style that you either love or hate. Regardless of your opinion, this trend is here for the season and can be worn in so many different ways. Stay true to the aesthetic by pairing an ankle-length maxi skirt with a cardigan or long-sleeve shirt—pale shades like white, pink, cream and blue are perfect for this trend. Alternatively, you can try a mix of aesthetics, including those inspired by the 80s.
