Here today and gone tomorrow, fashion trends are ever-evolving. The year 2022 came with its own fair share of fashion trends derived from runways and celebrities. This year is coming with its own twists and was derived from people like you and me not just from the runways and celebrities only.
When choosing easy trends, look for colours, accessories, and silhouettes that are high impact but that you don’t even need to think about how to style. Some are even holdovers from last year, but they are certain to keep heating up this season and beyond. So without further ado, read on to familiarize yourself with the trends:
1. Cargo trousers
This year sets the stage for the return of the cargo pant. For summer, this trend is translated into tailored silhouettes, interesting pocket placements, elevated fabrics like silk and organza, and colours that go beyond khaki and olive.
2. Sheer clothing
“Bare it all” which has been the motto since the end of the lockdown is back. From a cellophane-like dress, worn over a boldly hued maxi skirt to revealing undergarments, the previously risqué trend is coming not only for your weekend wardrobe but even workwear.
3. Denim reinvented
From double-waisted jeans to carpenter jeans, it’s been a while since we were this excited about denim trends. Whatever category you decide on, opt for timeless cuts and silhouettes that can stay in your closet rotation once the novelty wears off.
4. Maxiskirts
In response to the ultra unpractical mini skirts of 2022, maxi skirts are here to dominate the year. In line with the aforementioned cargo and denim trends, expect lots of low-rise, pocket-adorned silhouettes and floor-grazing jean skirts, as well as styles in various prints and unexpected materials like velvet.
5. Cobalt blue
The strongest colour story to come out of 2023 runways so far, cobalt blue has burst through the collections with the freshness of a sea mist on a hot day. It is the type of deep blue that will excite even the most colour-averse.
