The fashion industry is a strong proponent of sustainability. Paris, London, or New York, all fashion shows focus on clothes that are adaptable, functional, and relaxed. We will be seeing a focus on classic dresses and keeping things simple.
The fashion industry is moving towards sustainability. Paris, London, or New York, all fashion shows focus on clothes that are adaptable, functional, and recycled. We will notice that as we approach the end of 2022, we are focusing on keeping things simple and smart. Investing in classic, sustainable clothes is a great way to go. Here are some of the key trends that I believe will be the highlights for winter 2022.
Y2K Style (Late 1990s to early 2000)
Fashion Y2K is one of the most popular trends for fall and winter 2022-2023. This includes everything from micro mini skirts with knee-length boots to corsets. Y2K is appealing to both young and old. This trend is reminiscent of the early teens and childhood days with its bubble gum pink, metallic and translucent clothes, wide-leg denim trousers, and trendy couture.
Tailored Fits
Fitted clothes never go out of style. This trend is very popular this year. This trend can be worn for office, evening, and party wear. This is a style statement that cannot be missed. Autumn- Winter 2022 will see a trend of tailored three-piece suits and skirt suits. These structured garments offer comfort, elegance, and classic style. They are worth investing in.
Layering
Layering is another trend that will catch everyone’s attention. Almost every runway shows clothes layered on top of each other. Look out for shorts with leggings, overcoats with mini dresses, blazers with jeans, turtlenecks under dresses, and skirts over pants.
Catsuits
The catsuit was a big hit in spring and summer, but on the winter runways, they were in all shapes and sizes, whether it be leather, knitted, printed, or denim. Catsuits can be worn with a skirt, shorts, or overcoat by those who don’t feel comfortable.
Corset
Corsetry is another very evident trend. There are many different styles of corsets, as well as fit and fabric. Techniques such as busters, long sleeves and strapless, Gothic, and so many others, and materials including satin, fleece, and leather, denim all accentuate power and sexuality.
Monochrome
The trend will continue to be popular in the autumn-winter of 2022. Monochrome is the dominant style of this season. Style everything in the same color, from your shoes to your accessories. You can make your outfit more sexy by using different textures in the same color.
Tweed
The soft, flexible, and supple texture of this woolen fabric is one to watch. Designers use it in all colors and shapes on the runway. Chanel almost dedicated the entire line to Tweed. The list of jackets, skirts, and mini-dresses is endless.
Leather and Velvet
Leather was the most popular fabric this year. Leather garments are everywhere, from suits to leggings and pants in leather to dresses and coats. This material elevates any look. Velvet also made a comeback in 2018. These fabrics are available in black, ruby, and emerald tones for special occasions or evening wear.
Textures, Feathers, and Embellishments
The focus this season is on texture and embellishment to bring fun to clothing. Fur and feathers are used extensively to enhance garments. Knits are also a great option.
Accessories
The addition of knee-length boots, platform shoes and sneakers, gloves, bows, belts, hairpins, scarves, etc., will enhance your look.
