Fashion shows teach us that identifying what will remain relevant for more than one season is the key to not only guide our purchases but also our outfits.
As we approach the new year, it's important to ask ourselves which clothing and accessories from the Fall-Winter 2022/2023 collection will continue to be on trend in the next four months. To optimize new purchases, face sales with awareness, and navigate through trends.
It's no longer a surprise that the most relevant trend of the period is the long-lasting trend. Identifying what will remain relevant for more than one season is the key to guiding not only our purchases but also our outfits.
Despite the frenzy of the industry and micro-trends, for the benefit of the budget and sustainability, here are the top 10 fashion trends of the Fall-Winter 2022/2023 collection to keep an eye on for Spring-Summer 2023. Invest in timeless, long-lasting items or, for those who already have them, take care of them and bring them out when necessary.
1.- See-through elegance
Show off your grace with refined boudoir-inspired touches that invaded the winter fashion shows and will continue to be a trend in the upcoming warm season with transparent dresses and tops in neutral colors with a nude effect.
2.- Ballet flats
2022 was the year of ballet flats. The good news is that what appeared to be a micro trend driven by Miu Miu's Fall-Winter 2022/2023 collection is ready to explode for Spring-Summer 2023 with new shades and updated designs.
3.- Extra-long skirts
Floor-length skirts have touched the ground this season and show no signs of shortening for Spring-Summer 2023. Fashion trends no longer have middle grounds, but a prototype that is becoming increasingly popular is a solid-colored, shiny fabric tube skirt, as seen at Saint Laurent and dictated by Gabriela Hearst.
4.- Fringes
Charleston, long, flowing or bohemian, for graceful moving outfits that shine with elegance. Fringes are becoming increasingly decorative, precious, ornamental and folkloric. They enhance the hemlines of dresses and tops.
5.- Large bags
The trend towards increasingly spacious and practical bags goes hand in hand with the increase of opportunities and post-pandemic commitments. A bag where you can fit everything, absolutely everything, without giving up style: the old/new investment of the season, according to Louis Vuitton and Bottega Veneta.
6.- Motorcycle
The bikercore trend of 2022 continues to march on in 2023 and takes the form of increasingly easy-to-wear pieces: a motorcycle jacket, as taught by Christian Dior and Dion Lee. And off we go, running towards spring.
7.- 3D flowers
Roses in winter, lilies in summer. The runway focuses on natural details to make micro-dresses and jackets flourish: from Coperni to Loewe, everything is in bloom.
8.- Navy blue
Among the shades that reappeared on the Fall-Winter 2022/2023 runway, the timeless navy blue. A nocturnal tone that is versatile and easy to match with any other color, and doesn't even fear the competition from magenta and frog green.
9.- Bracelets
Among the jewels that we can easily dust off now and in summer, the rigid bangles. Stars of the Givenchy and Chanel catwalks, they are worn all year round, over sweaters or skin: always chic.
10.- Relaxed jeans
Loose, relaxed, mid-rise. The jeans of the moment will keep us company throughout the hot season: invest in several pairs.
