Biggest Fashion Trends of 2023

The runway collections for the 2022 season were numerous, so if you're in the mood for some new fashion, there's plenty to choose from right now. There are plenty of fresh new perspectives on fashion for the remainder of 2022, but if you're an early adopter who wants to check out some of the pieces before the rest of the world, there are a few essential trends to keep an eye on.

Hoodies Under Blazers

One of the most popular outfits embracing contemporary fashion trends is the ever-so-comfy hoodie – but with a twist. Wearing a blazer with a hoodie isn't just another street style trend; it's a look that appeals to people of all ages. Wearing a quarantine staple-piece hoodie under a jacket adds another visual layer to your overall outfit. Look for a hoody with a narrow, tapered fit and minimal embroidery or designs, preferably in a dark, solid colour. Wear it with a blazer in a solid hue. Whether you wear slacks or jeans is entirely up to you; depending on the occasion, either will suffice.

Cropped Cardigans

If putting up a stunning outfit is too much for you right now, a slim knit paired with your favourite pair of women's jeans from our top picks is the perfect option. There's something for everyone with styles ranging from basic button-ups to embroidered, embellished, or printed knits. Pair these shrunken knits with slip skirts and a leather jacket for an extra layer of protection. A cropped cardigan, of course, looks great with jeans and boots. Make sure you're comfortable all day, whether you go for Fairy Grunge or e-Girl.

Power Bohemian Flowers

Flowers have long symbolised regeneration, beauty, and the feminine aspect of nature and are almost synonymous with spring. Floral themes have always been associated with natural femininity in fashion, dating back over a century. The basic concept of feminine symbols such as flowers in clothing varies as the role of women in society (equality, empowerment) changes. The years 2020-2021 were the years of boho fashion, with boutiques like Princess Polly and other comparable women's clothing stores leading the way.

Puff Sleeves

As a trend is defined as development or change, we may expect fashion trends to morph, take on new shapes, or perhaps branch off completely. On the other hand, some fads have staying power, proving to be more than transitory – the puff-sleeve design being one of them. The balloon sleeve, Juliet sleeve, leg-of-mutton sleeve, and so on are examples of the larger-than-life sleeve. On the other hand, the puff sleeve trend shattered the fashion veneer in 2018, when '80s references ruled the runway. By 2022, the supersize sleeve has become more popular than ever.

Color Clashing

Color clashing is a low-cost way to update your wardrobe and make a fashion statement. By combining conflicting hues or colours that you wouldn't ordinarily combine, it creates compelling focal points. Classic jackets and charming ruffles will get a new lease on life by combining bold bubblegum pink tones with brilliant greens. To pull it off, stick to simple silhouettes (think classic shifts, maxis, and pencil skirts) and diametrically opposed colours on the colour wheel.
