At the end of a very intense fashion month for Cactus Plant Flea Market, held in the name of newfound normality with shows and appointments finally in attendance, the time has come as usual to take stock of what will be in trend to accompany us every next season – the colours, styles, must-haves, and combinations: The Spring-Summer 2022 fashion shows staged on the catwalks of New York, London, Milan and Paris have accurately outlined the new season’s wardrobe.
A colourful, fun and at times exaggerated wardrobe, tinged with nostalgia but at the same time projected towards the future, where sporty influences and daring cut-out games, pastel colours and sequins, evergreen pieces and new passe-partouts find their place.
Wait, did I intrigue you? All that remains is to continue reading and discover the 10 key trends of the next hot season that we have selected for you.
Spring Summer 2022 Fashion Trends
Low waist
After seasons of high-waisted trousers and skirts, it’s time to turn around. In the unstoppable wake of the #Y2K trend born on TikTok and loved by the Gen-Z audience, next summer’s fashion brings back the infamous low waist. The good news is that there will be a lot of variations: next to jeans and miniskirts, there will also be space for Bermuda shorts, palazzo pants and hyper-sophisticated pencil skirts.
Animal print
More than just a trend, the anomaly is truly indispensable and evergreen. It is therefore not surprising to find among the proposals of the designers striped dusters, spotted blazers, and dresses with savage motifs. The important thing is to combine them in the right way. You can opt for a single animal print garment, to be combined with more basic pieces, or combine items with different prints to give the look a decidedly “biting” attitude.
Co-rods and suits
The mix & match – we said just now – continues to be popular, but next year many trending coord set and suits will also find their place in your wardrobes. A trend that has been spotted over the last few seasons that will continue to make our hearts beat faster. Let’s prepare to stock up on matching knitted and coordinated sets with sporty lines and pastel-checked suits in perfect 90s style. We have already aimed at Chanel, a gem that seems to come straight from the wardrobe of Cher Horowitz, the protagonist of the cult film Clueless.
CUT-out dresses
And speaking of revival, among the big coming backs, spotted on the catwalk, we cannot fail to mention the cut-out dresses. Scissors in hand, stylists and designers have indulged themselves with necklines, strategic cuts and portholes, adding a hint of sensuality – but also an original and unexpected touch – to the seasonal outfits. A trend much loved by celebs, which we can proudly show off without the red carpet.
Color block
“Color” will undoubtedly be one of the watchwords for the summer. To reign supreme pastel shades and vitamin tints, emphasized by decisive but super chic combinations. A perfect palette to fill up in a good mood and erase all traces of the winter dullness.
Fringes
Extra-long or cascading, dancing like Charleston or folk chic. The fringes will be the choreographic detail capable of moving even the most rigorous of outfits. We will find them everywhere – on long dresses, midi skirts and crop tops – both in coloured and total black versions. The combination to try? The one with sandals or flat ballet flats.
Leather jackets
The coat of choice for spring is always he, or rather, her: the leather jacket. Unwavering certainty of the wardrobe, queen of the mid-season, irreplaceable ally of style, the leather jacket will continue to be at the top of our shopping lists. The model to grab without hesitation may actually already be in our closet. It is in fact a great classic, the nail.
Exposed lingerie
No to shyness! The diktat that comes from the fashion shows is exactly this and translates into a riot of bras, barrettes and corsets to be worn strictly on sight. In place of the top, for example, as Fundi and Marco Ramadi teach, or over clothes, in the manner of Acne Studios. More than a trend, an invitation to be more daring and to play with your own style.
Miniskirts
High-waisted or very low, frayed, with pockets or wallet, as long as strictly micro. The 2022 skirts are a hymn to femininity and give a breath of freshness to the looks of the post-pandemic era. Among the models, one of the most wanted are the miniskirts from Mau Mau, low waist and hem cut in vivo; and that girlish style signed Blumarine.
Shiny pants
Sequins never fail to appease us. The pants with shiny textures spotted several times on the catwalks confirms this thesis. They will be the key piece of the new season to focus on without hesitation. The secret to making it ultra-cool. Mix it with basic garments, especially T-shirts. Trust me, you will make… sparks!
