It might still be winter but spring and summer are fast approaching which means it’s time to pick out the trends we want to try over the coming months. Sheer fabrics and cut-out styles are likely to be big, while subtle shades are taking over from the bursts of colour we have previously been inundated with. Y2K style is staying for the summer and versatile holiday wear is transporting you straight from the beach to the streets. Whether you’re a minimalist or a maximalist, SS22 trends are proving anything goes this spring and there will certainly be a style to suit you.
Uncomplicated Co-Ords
The co-ord had a big moment on the runway for Spring-Summer as iterations of the easy to wear duo were pictured dancing down the catwalk. What once was restricted to a simple top and skirt pairing has now been reimagined in a range of fabrics from jersey to linen, silk to leather. With the addition of shorts and trouser combinations too, there really is a co ord for everyone.
Subtle Chic
While colours had their moment on the catwalk, neutral toned shades took over the SS22 runway in relaxed shapes and loose silhouettes. The looks might have been low-key but they were certainly not boring with the addition of some key stylish details, think asymmetric cuts and overloaded embellishments. Understated but chic as ever, these are the ready to wear staples you need in your wardrobe come spring.
Mesh, Cut-Outs & Baring It All
We’ve seen cut-outs before but this time they were accompanied by lace, ties, mesh and more. Conjuring up the ultimate illusion of sexy, plunging necklines, exposed midriffs and sheer fabrics complimented the styles we saw storm the catwalk.
Noughties Nostalgia
Skimpy silhouettes, long-slung waist lines, and a dose of double denim were just some of the Y2K-inspired styles that designers sent down the catwalk for their Spring-Summer debuts. Love it or hate it the 2000s style revival is not going anywhere in 2022.
From The Beach To The City
We might have just celebrated Christmas but that doesn’t mean we can’t think ahead to the styles of the summer and that is exactly what the designers of the moment are doing right now. We’re talking super short minis, bikini tops and platformed sandals. It’s the vacay-ready style that can be plucked straight from your suitcase and worn wherever, whenever.
