Fashion Trends of women in 2022

Introduction:

Seven months into the year, you might be tempted to overlook 2022's biggest fashion trends in favor of a 24/7 sweatpants existence. Lucky for you, soft clothes are a piece of the 2022 style puzzle. That said, they’re not the only items on deck. Nostalgia is the name of the game.With Y2K fashion peaking higher than ever, the summer and remainder of the year have plenty of fun trends in store. Spotlight-stealing attire with a joyous mood is taking over, from vivid colors and prints to bold silhouettes like bubble dresses, volume tops, cutouts galore, and ultra-low rises on pants and skirts.Accessories are in on the fun, too. Think: chunky-AF platforms, rainbow-bright bags, and a more-is-more jewelry aesthetic combining beads, pearls, and rhinestone-decked baubles. Oh, and if your 2022 resolution was to adopt a new signature color, you better make it purple — it’s the 2022 hue in all tints, from Pantone’s Very Peri color of the year to saturated violet and lavender shades. Ahead, a deeper dive into 2022's biggest fashion trends. Naturally, with an edit to shop. 

Whether an oversize, fleece-lined jogger is your jam or you’re more the elevated soft-pants type, preferring knitted flares and flowy culottes, leisurely bottoms are a 2022 constant, mostly thanks to the continuation of hybrid work setups.

Getting in the loungewear is the easiest thing one can do while looking trendy and stylish. Post pandemic when the world worked entirely from home, then making extra effort to step out became a huge deal. But all thanks to loungewear that it made the look absolutely chic whether be it in the house or outside. You can sport the same look everywhere all through the day.

The catsuit is one of the year's most unexpected trends to emerge. But lest you relegate it to runway only (as seen multiple times on Saint Laurent's and at Burberry)—know that everyone from Hailey Bieber to Lizzo has already worn it out in the wild. It's like your favorite yoga one-piece got a sudden after-dark update.

If you're picking up on a '90s/early aughts vibe overall, you're not wrong. Go all in with a chain belt or belly chain worn around a knit dress or directly above your navel. Designers are all about having a good time in 2022 if you are. 

The seemingly simple long fitted turtleneck dress actually contains multitudes. It's sleek and sexy, can be dressed up with heeled boots, or dressed down with easy flats. It calls to mind almost all of Met Gala ladies, and is the ideal backdrop for all of the best accessories—from chain belts to bangle bracelets.

Jackets are becoming about the size of our collective patience for this endless pandemic. Read: very small. Lean into a leaner, more tailored silhouette, as at various luxury brands across globe. Paired with everything from slim pants to miniskirts, the micro blazer opens up a whole host of new styling opportunities.

Tiny blazers not your vibe? Big, boxy jackets aren't going anywhere anytime soon. Executed best in black, they work well in tan and white too. Pair with denim, easy skirts, knit dresses, or coordinating pants—in other words, almost anything.

Don't hide your light under a barrel, ladies. Labels from across the globe are embracing high shine. From maxi skirts to minidresses, these looks call for a dance floor moment—or five. Even Gigi Hadid can't resist herself from embracing the fashion trend.

Major lux bags bags retained up to 90 percent of their value in 2021, according to resale site Rebag's annual report. That includes bags in green and bolder and brighter iterations. The conclusion: Your handbag doesn't need to come in only black, brown, or tan. Embrace the rainbow from classic labels or the one that resembles with the classic label designs.

While the economy doesn't currently support that whole hemline index idea, why not put on a sleeky, stylish wham mini anyway? Showing a little leg can make anyone feel lighter, more playful, and rich.

A new silhouette seems to have emerged, and it's as light and carefree as we want to be. The equation: a flowing oversized button-down, paired with flowing oversized trousers, buttoned insouciantly in the middle (as seen on Gigi Hadid).

Put on some EDM and a bucket hat (but maybe keep your glow sticks at home),because life is a rave and everyone is invited. Pieces that speak volumes (from color to graphic elements) add up to every day looking a lot more fun.

Don't let the term low rise trigger you. These are not your Britney Spears thong-revealing jeans (not that our Britney love doesn't run deep). In the current hands of  leading designers, trousers and denim are loose and sit coolly at the hips, revealing a banded logo underneath or just a hint of midriff.

Whether office casual is getting very liberal at your current workplace, or you're ready to turn up your suit look for an evening out, a bra top is the best way to infuse a little modernity into your tailored separates. Try it with an oversized suit like Emily Ratajkowski, with a sleek pencil skirt as seen at fashion weeks, or paired with a somber shade.

All the current oversized silhouettes, from baggy trousers to raver styles, call for a shoe with a little heft. The chunky loafer or lace-up lends a classic shape with just the right volume to balance the visual weight of your new low-rise trousers or ground your chic new mini.

Optical, black-and-white stripes breathe new life into neutral colors. Try pairing these graphic pieces with even bolder knits and accessories, like white tights and colorful hair accessories, for a mesmerizing and revitalizing look. 

Micro-textures might not seem universally flattering, but in the hands of new-guard designers l bubbly knitwear is positively chic. In pastel colors and delicate patterns, these voluminous pieces work best with minimal styling—let the texture do the talking.

There is no print too bold for spring 2022. Blurred tie-dye and  abstracted zebra patterns are just two ways to give your wardrobe an injection of new energy and levity. When in doubt, add another bright color or maximalist print to a look—it will be a conversation starter at the season’s parties.

Why wear floral prints when you can wear three-dimensional blossoms that drip off collars, hems, and hip bones? Rodarte does it best with textural blooms that bring the wild beauty of nature to life in fashion.

Leather jackets, dark blazers, and denim chore coats will never go out of style—so why don’t you experiment with a color-block track jacket or bomber this spring? In shades of cobalt or hot pink, the style has an arty new look that’s more suited for a trip to the museum than the sports field.

Latticed knitwear offers the best of both worlds: It’s warm enough for springtime breezes but still allows for optimal sun exposure. Plenty of designers are purposefully punching out their sweaters to show a little skin. Wear yours with a maxiskirt and sleek sandals for a long, lean look.

Sophistication without any stuffiness? Yes, all of the way. Thanks to lighter color and fabric options, the summer season's abundance of suits won't weigh you down. While dresses are an easy summer go-to, suiting is a great alternative that provides that same head-to-toe look but with a fresh twist. If head-to-toe suiting isn't your style, break up the look with sleek separates, like a white blazer and jeans or cream trousers paired with a breezy tee.

Skin is in, and summer '22 is about the peek-a-book trend, from cutesy cutout dresses

at all the leading fashion weeks of the globe. To make the trend work for you, choose flattering cutout placements around the midsection or hips.

You don't have to play the field to look the part. Tracksuits, biker shorts, and polo shirts fit in on the streets but can lend a new take for beach and vacation wear. Pair your sporty separates with your favorite sneakers, or give your look a touch of femininity alongside slide sandals and a clutch.
