Cargo Pants

The latest trend to come out of the Y2K fashion revival is cargo pants. But these aren’t just any utilitarian pants. Givenchy sent out pairs in tweed, pastels, and cropped lengths while Stella McCartney suggested elegant workwear alternatives to the casual style.

Metallics

Holiday dressing was a big Spring 2023 trend. In particular, metallics stole the show on the runways of Isabel Marant, Schiaparelli, and Balmain, which closed out its Spring 2023 show with a couture lineup of gold and bronze gowns (and a Cher appearance!). To avoid looking like you’re still celebrating New Year’s Eve in March, opt for daytime silhouettes in the form of jeans, slip skirts, and relaxed blazers.

Fringe

Flowing fringe was everywhere this month from New York to Paris. The latter worked most effectively at Koche and Vaquera, who sent out dresses and tops adorned in cascading fabric, as well as dramatic floor-grazing accessories.

Bows

One of the more sweeter trends from the Spring 2023 lineup, bows of all shapes and sizes appeared on the creations of Loewe, Thom Browne, and Dior. For those worried about looking like one giant present, fear not — designers are approaching the trend in subtle ways with barely there motifs appearing on otherwise minimal silhouettes.

Decorative Belts

“Unnecessary belts” continue to trend on the accessories front. This season saw double belts at Koché and Rokh as well as the decorative styles at Vaquera that seemed to exist for every other (ornamental) purpose except holding up the pants.

Designer Denim

We are in the golden age of denim. For proof see the many exciting trends that have recently emerged, from cargo jeans to balloon pants and double-waisted denim. If we are to believe the recent collections of Chloé, Givenchy, and Schiaparelli, this is just the beginning of the high-fashion denim renaissance.

Mini Bags

Don’t be fooled by the big bag takeover happening in fashion right now, teeny-tiny bags will also make their mark on spring fashion as evidenced by the mini variations of signature styles seen at brands like Stella McCartney, Chanel, and Longchamp.

Color Pink

We will still be in the Barbiecore pink territory come spring. Rochas, Chloé, and more designers offered styles in different variations of the can’t-miss hue.

Mesh Shoes

Previously seen at Jonathan Simkhai in New York, Nensi Dojaka in London, and Bally in Milan, the mesh shoe trend’s dominance was solidified when Chanel sent out sheer diamante booties during Paris Fashion Week’s final day.

Moto Jackets

While not necessarily groundbreaking, moto jackets have undergone a style update this season. To refresh the spring and fall staple for the new year, opt for interesting silhouettes and details (as seen at Schiaparelli) or a lighter hue like a beige or brown (Isabel Marant).

These Are Fall’s Biggest Fashion Trends — Shop Them Now

We’ll always savor long summer days, but, as autumn is here, we welcome the mood shift — and cooler days — with open arms. The biggest fall 2022 trends have much to offer as we move from sundresses and ballet flats in favor of chunky loafers, coats, and cozy layers.

From preppy wares to workwear-inspired standouts, there is something to satisfy all tastes and shopping impulses. A subversive attitude transpired in many designer collections from New York to Paris, offering a refreshingly rebellious take on closet staples. Think: deconstructed knits, re-worked tailoring, and lots of leather in the form of S&M and biker-style silhouettes. Similarly, a futuristic wave rippled through fashion month’s four cities with gritty, punk undertones influencing denim, dresses, cargos, and more. Plus, the official induction of the catsuit as a fearless approach to all-in-one dressing and trippy trompe l’oeil prints. 

A flapper-era opulence emerged on the more glamorous end of the spectrum; rhinestones, sequins, and crystal-decked designs proved both extravagant yet effortless in tandem with daily blazers and boots and the ultimate in glamour when worn in their scintillating glory. Outerwear underwent the extra treatment, too, from floor-grazing dusters to ultra-oversized puffers and supersized faux fur destined for statement-making days. 

As for fall’s boot du jour, get ready for the over-the-knee revival to pair with the season’s micro-minis, ranging from classic leather block-heels to second-skin silhouettes doused in color and rugged moto styles. And while skin-baring Y2K-style dresses and skirts remain a fixture, prepare for maxi dresses and skirts, spanning full-volume designs to slinky ’90s style shapes, to lure you in this season. 

Ahead, a deeper breakdown of fall’s biggest fashion trends for 2022, complete with an edit to shop.

Maxi Lengths

While minis no doubt remain, fall is all about floor-grazing skirts and dresses from voluminous shapes as seen at Proenza Schouler, Tory Burch, and Simone Rocha to weighty knits like at Alberta Ferretti and slim and slinky silhouettes á la Saint Laurent.

Not-So-Prim Prep

While tennis, golf, and country clubcore aesthetics have ruled spring and summer, fall ushers in an edgier version of prep. The new vibe, led by Miu Miu and Rokh, puts a fresh twist on classics from pleated skirts and blazers to varsity staples like bombers and knits via luxe touches like leather and faux fur. Plus, chunky platforms that add modernity and playfulness to schoolgirl styles like Mary-Janes and loafers.  Photo: Courtesy of Miu Miu.

Lots of Leather 

Leather undergoes a daring refresh this fall, as S&M and biker-style pieces emerged (see: bucked and overly strappy shapes like at Khaite, Versace, and Roberto Cavalli), as well as sleek and tailored head-to-toe looks in elegant neutrals and vibrant colors (Tod’s, Maryam Nassir Zadeh, and Sergio Hudson), offering slick options for even the most edge-aversed.

Deconstructed Staples

With a rebellious tone often teetering into a raver aesthetic, tattered knits, disheveled denim, and frayed finishes appeared as more than mere accents but, instead, focal-point pieces styled head-to-toe, as seen at Acne Studios, Eckhaus Latta, Dion Lee, and Elena Velez. Consider these capsule closet staples 2.0.Photo: Madison Voelkel/Eckhaus Latta.
