Trends to be seen in this Spring Season
With the days now getting longer and apparently warmer, we’re finally able to turn our attention to Spring/Summer 2022 fashion trends. Now, you are probably wearing a warm jumper with a cup of tea in hand whilst reading this article! But, let’s just all think positive and start to manifest warm sunny weather with lighter mornings and lighter evenings. Linen shirts, floral dresses, and bright colours are just around the corner.
The best part about transitioning from one season to the next? Swapping out your current wardrobe for the clothes you’ve kept packed away for months. So, with that in mind, I am here to share with you the Spring Trends to be seen in this season. You don’t have to go out and purchase every single trend, but picking up one or two and adding them to your existing wardrobe, will update and refresh your look, whilst also looking super in the know and on trend.
There’s definitely a touch of the 90’s being seen in these trends with hemlines rising up, the return of the pencil skirt and the daring cut outs seen on the runway from Jacquemus and Bottega Veneta. So which sexy trends are back this season?
The Mini Mini Skirt.
The shorter the better in this case. I have always loved a mini skirt and welcome its return. It may be on trend now, but I always have a few on rotation. Remember if your legs are on show, cover up more on top i.e., shirt/body top with long sleeves. Let your legs be the main event! I always add a light layer of baby oil on my legs, for an ultra-flattering glow.
Cut Outs and Sheer Panels
Now this trend may not be for everyone. I only wish I could wear a bralette with a high waisted skirt! But there’s ways to make this trend, well more wearable for everyone. Cutouts come in all sizes and shapes, meaning there’s a style for everyone interested in trying the trend. You could wear a cropped blazer or a short boxy t-shirt with a high waisted pencil skirt, with only a small sliver of your waist on show. Or you could have a sheer panel in your top or skirt or a dress with peek-a-boo panels. They don’t have to be huge. In fact, I think the smaller the cut out, the more flattering and chic it is.
Bras as tops
Lingerie as outerwear. Are we ready for it? Again, another trend that’s not totally for me. But for a young fearless fashionista, I think it can look class. Michael Kors had it styled with high-waisted skirts, that looked stunning. For me, I would wear a triangular-shaped bra or lace bralette, that I can layer underneath blouses and blazers. More of a subtle nod to the trend.
Disco Diva
Think rainbow brights, fuchsia pinks, feathers, fringing, pleating and fabulous sequins! I think we are all programmed to think sequins are just for Christmas. This season doesn’t have your usual Spring trends with florals and pastels. Oh no! Let’s all embrace this new trend and boost our moods with a little bit of sparkle and colour – pure fun! For a subtle way to wear this trend and bring a look to life, you can add an embellished clutch to your outfit.
Lime Green and hot pink are everywhere this season. In fact, all the highlighter colours are. Head to toe tonal dressing is always very on trend. If the barbie look isn’t for you, you could team a blue skirt with a blue top for
the ultimate power tonal look.
Make the most of this trend with a fringed, shimmery slinky dress for night time or slightly thicker fringe in neutral colourways for daytime.
Add a Studio 54 inspired glam to your look, with pressed pleats in shimmery fabrics. Metallic midis and maxis are having a real ‘moment’ and I love how impactful this trend is – simply slip on a metallic pleated skirt and your whole outfit is instantly transformed.
Suiting
Are you debating on investing in some tailoring? This season, look for a suit in a statement colour, oversized with an 80’s padded shoulder look and wider trouser legs. For the cool trendy girls, oversized suiting with runners is the look for you. For a more classic and timeless look, which is more my vibe, wear your suits with a beautiful blouse or body and high heeled mules. The best part is you can break down the suit into separates to make a variety of beautiful outfits.
Low Rise
Can you actually believe the low-rise trend is back? The most 90’s trend of them all and I for one am NOT into it! I did love it when I was like 16 and trying to copy a Britney Spears look in her latest music video. But as a 38-year-old woman, this trend is not for me! Matching midriff sets are what’s on trend, but I’ll be sticking to high waisted all the way!
Halternecks
Another trend that brings me right back to my early 20’s! I used to love a good halter top! And they can be so flattering around the shoulders and décolletage area.
Criss-cross and ornate loop details are all over the runway this spring/summer. Will you be partaking in this trend?
Chunky boots
Chunky boots are here to stay this Spring. I’ve said it before, I love how a chunky boot toughens up a pretty dress for an effortless chic look.
