Endlessly changing, always reinventing, fashion is an exciting topic to follow. If you like to stay on top of trends and are curious about what 2023 may hold in store, you’ve stumbled across the right post. The runways have given us a lot to think about in recent weeks, and it’s time we took a deep dive into what it will all mean for the high-street shopper.
Below are five key trends you can expect to see in the coming months. Love them or hate them; these are the stars, so let’s take a closer look!
1. Custom Accessories
This year is all about individuality, but it’s not always easy to stand out in the crowd when trends are so universally followed. Ironically, one trend seeking to break this pattern is custom accessories. Whether through custom pins or custom patches, modifying your accessories to make them more unique is a big trend at the moment. Don’t just blend in; get involved!
2. Mini Dresses
Short and chic is the move, and we’re all for it. Givenchy and Chanel are the big hitters spearheading this trend at the moment, but it won’t take long for this to trickle on down to the high streets. If you want to stay ahead of the curve, a mini-dress is necessary for your wardrobe. Sure, it isn’t exactly the weather for them yet, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get prepared to wow your friends.
3. Fringe, Fringe, Fringe
What good is a straight edge anyway? Fringe is everywhere this season, and we are loving it. Fringe on dresses, fringe on jackets, fringe on sweaters. Everything’s coming up fringe, and we’re okay with that. Versace and Victoria Beckham are the most prominent names sporting fringed collections, using both leather and fabric designs.
4. Animal Print
Oh, animal print, how you divide a room – it’s the ultimate ‘love it or hate it’ in the fashion world. If you’re an animal print hater, we’re sorry (not sorry) to say it, but it isn’t going anywhere soon. The good news is that animal print arrives in different styles. There’s something for everyone: snake, cheetah, zebra (oh my!). Yes, even you, devout animal print hater.
5. Endless Textures
Lastly, it isn’t just how items look that matters; it’s how they feel. We’re going all out on textures this year, and that’s not just because of the increasing amount of fringe. Fluffy shoes, rugged sleeves, and metallic accessories are hitting the runway with a vengeance. We personally think you should be hitting the streets in the same way. Mix it up and get a feel for something different this year.
Be Bold With Your Fashion!
As Madonna once said, express yourself, and that’s the mood of 2023 if fashion is anything to go by. Designers are doing new and exciting things that we haven’t seen before, and even if you aren’t in love with all of it, there’s almost certainly something lined up for you. From custom pins to fringe dresses, it’s time to make your mark.
