It’s time to get dressed up in spring’s hottest trends if you see trees blooming close by. New-season fashions are suited for all seasons and moods, as is the case with warmer-weather fashion. It’s time to add spring essentials to your shopping cart.
Trends in Y2K fashion continue to be strong with ultra-low-rise and micro-minis, halter necklines, and playful mix-and-match jewelry. There are also a lot of twee styles and platform shoes (think: Darling wears a La Zooey Deschanel or Taylor Swift) that you should take note of. These drifts will inspire you when it comes time to bring out spring staples such as lightweight layers and toe-bearing shoes. You can also find cool casual pieces for the weekend.
Are you ready for a vacation? You are ready to go on a vacation? Designers like Ulla Johnson and Chloe Altuzarra, Rejina Poo, and Proenza Schouler be thanks. All of these labels, as well as many others, brought you dreamy, globetrotter-status clothing, accessories, and tunics that range from vibrantly saturated to beautifully embellished maxi dresses to intricately embellished tunics. The spring wishlist includes super-sized totes that you can fit into, as well as fringe and crochet details.
Closet classics such as button-down shirts and blazers are still a great choice for those with lower-key sensibilities. They’re easy to wear and have a refreshing, never-boring feel that you’ll reach back to again and again. (Especially during those getting-dresses-in-five-minute panic modes we’ve all found ourselves in.) This trend also allows for life to remain in limbo, where we alternate between hibernating in our homes and doing actual work. You’re probably still trying to figure out the perfect half-dressed bunny costume look that’s both (decently) professional on WFH days and legitimate head-toe for IRL time with clients or colleagues.
Here’s a closer look at the top spring fashion trends in 2022, along with an edit that you can shop
2022 Spring Trend: Y2K Yay
The Y2K era is alive and well, and will only get bolder in 2022. If you are really bold, live the aughts-style lifestyle in low-rise bottoms, miniskirts, and “whale tail” pants. Cutouts are also big this season. They are a trend that has been around since 2021 and proves skin is still fashionable in Lola bunny costume, regardless of whether it’s spliced or cropped. You can top it off with fun jewelry such as multicolored beads that are layered with pearls. You can do whatever you want.
2022 Spring Trend: Vacation Mindset
Anna Sui, Chloe, Gabriela Hearst, and Chloe all featured spring collections that are versatile enough to be worn every day, but also ready for a vacation at a moment’s notice. This trend is easy to wear: airy, lightweight dress bunny costume, and crochet tops. You can also try printed separates in crisp cotton poplin.
2022 Spring Trend: Big Bags, Huge
For spring, big goodbye to minis. Labels like Khaite and Tory Burch offer a variety of handbag options, including festive raffia and polished-for-work leather. These stylish carry-alls can double as stylish travel bags that can hold at least a few days’ worths of essentials in case your luggage is lost.
2022 Spring Trend: Romance isn’t Dead
A romantic Regency-core-meets-’60s-era glamour aesthetic emerged from designer collections, including Markarian, Jason Wu, and Carolina Herrera. Rhinestone earrings complemented the feminine style of floral dresses and bunny costume with their fitted bodices, puff sleeves, and ladylike suits with pearls, pointed-toe heels, and pearl sleeves. The collection has a professional and sophisticated feel that will make you want a new wardrobe.
2022 Spring Trend: Bolder Brights
If you are a color lover and want to experiment with new colors, then mega-saturation is the way to go for spring. However, we’re not talking just about accents. The modern way to do it is to use a variety of colors. Valentino, Saint Laurent, and Marques Almeida will be some of the collections you should look at for inspiration.
2022 Spring Trend: Basics Reimagined
You can’t have enough button-down shirts or well-tailored suits. Jil Sander and Peter Do, as well as Victoria Beckham, advocated for clean lines and neutral colors to maximize versatility. However, they also had hints of modernity like a spliced collar or a unique-shaped collar. If you are looking for shades like hot pink, yellow, or periwinkle, they also offer versions in these colors.
