The new year is the perfect time to revamp your wardrobe and consider who you want to be for the year ahead. With so much exciting inspiration to choose from, it certainly is the year to experiment with new textures, colours and styles. Here is a guide on the top fashion trends for 2023.
Baggy Jeans
Skinny jeans have been out for a while now, and since then, it’s been all about the flared, boot-cut, or ‘mom’ jeans. However, now baggy jeans are back thanks to a resurgence in nostalgic 90s fashion.
If you prefer a style other than baggy jeans, try experimenting with wide-leg trousers or straight-leg jeans. These are great alternatives that will look chic and on-trend. Try wearing suit trousers, which are great for a day in the office, or with a t-shirt and jumper for a more casual look. Look out for a high-waisted silhouette with a looser fit on the leg.
Cargo
Until 2022, cargo trousers were initially worn by British military personnel in the early 90s and later were occasionally revived by a wacky tourist. But now, cargo is everywhere. The cargo look has exploded in popularity, especially with major celebrities such as Hailey Bieber, Emily Ratajkowski and Kim Kardashian – all of whom have been recently spotted looking incredible in these utilitarian trousers.
It’s no surprise after everybody banished their jeans to the back of the wardrobe for two years during the lockdowns. Pandemic life changed many people’s relationship with fashion, with the aim now being stylish but comfortable. Cargo trousers’ baggy shape offers maximum comfort (especially compared to jeans, which often dig in at the waist). They also have the practical element of having lots of pockets.
Blazers
Blazers have been back for a while and are here to stay for 2023. Whether you’re dressing up for an evening out in a glamorous blazer dress or pairing an everyday blazer with jeans and trainers, you can’t go wrong. Have some fun with this professional, clean look by adding bright colours and patterns to your wardrobe. Or, follow in the footsteps of designers such as Jil Sander, Peter Do and Elena Velez by embracing clean lines and beautiful materials.
Sequins
Everybody is very excited about sequins, which seemed to dominate everywhere during the festive period. The best part about sequins is they can be used for just about anything: clothes, shoes and even on accessories such as handbags. Brands such as judithleiber.com are leading the way with unique, glamorous accessories which can absolutely transform an outfit. A sequinned dress or handbag can leave you feeling – in the words of Taylor Swift – like you can make ‘the whole place shimmer’. Swift’s song and music video for ‘Bejeweled’ truly sums up this entire trend.
Sheer
The sheer transparent look has always been trendy, but recently has been spotted more and more on the Spring/Summer 2023 fashion runways. It was estimated that 77% of designers included transparent looks in their collections! Some gorgeous examples include Milan Fashion Week, where bedazzled mesh turtlenecks were worn underneath dazzling dresses, so it’s only a matter of time until sheer clothes are everywhere in the stores and online, too.
Comfort
Since coming out of the pandemic, comfort clothing has made a come back amongst the worlds population but fashion is only just taking this on board. This year there will be more than oversized tshirts and sweaters, you will see the appearance of wide leg trousers and lengthier evening dresses. HISA is one step ahead with their comfortable and beautiful minimizer bras to fit all curves. They design and make bras that are not only supporting women’s daily life, but also companying with them to discover their inner beauty. Making them the perfect companion to comfort clothing this year.
Incorporate this edgy but ultra-feminine trend by adding a sheer top to your fall and winter wardrobes, or to truly make a statement, wear a tulle-covered petticoat with a baggy t-shirt for the ultimate chic winter look.
