From neon brights, sleek styles, and pared-back elegance which deliver a quieter kind of luxury, there is something for every kind of style. Here’s our definitive round-up of the season’s biggest trends to inspire you over the coming months.
Gothic glamour, punky grunge, and 90’s have been runway staples for a while, but for SS23, these trends collide in a perfect storm of moody, tartan, and angst-filled drama all with that 90’s vibe. If you’re looking to invest in something, you’ll get the wear out of a pair of wide-leg, puddle hem slouchy fit trousers. Jeans will feature the same traits, from high-waisted dark wash flares to effortless double denim, complete with floor-grazing lengths and looser slouchy fits. Other key items to invest in for this trend are a crisp, oversized white shirt, cargo trousers, flannel shirts and of course, Dr Martens will always toughen things up.
While metallics are an obvious choice in the festive season with all those after-dark events, for spring there is no shortage of shiny embellishments and metallic materials just in time for summer weddings and garden parties. Shimmering gold and silver pieces have transformed the metallic trend into a hot favourite to continue into the warmer months. It was all about glitter, sequins and lame fabric, or basically anything that shines. It's less about full sequins and more about adding liquid shine and turning the simplest of everyday items into styles to stand out in; this means with accessories and footwear too. With a softer, lighter colour palette than the winter months, look for pale pinks, nudes, and pastel shades.
Neon is always a summer favourite, but this season neon colours added a pop of colour against a monochrome and minimalist backdrop. Fluorescent shades of blue, green, and yellow boosted the summery allure of the silhouettes which came with a futuristic aesthetic. Add this pop of colour to your neutrals and monochrome outfits and you’ll be the bright star wherever you are.
This season it’s all about the reinstatement of simplicity and everyday dressing to our wardrobes, elevated basics that you will get adequate wear out of. While last season there was a clear ‘90s directive when it came to minimalism, now things have been pared back even further for SS23. Silhouettes are cleaner and the colour palette looks more expensive. The super sleek two-piece is a key feature alongside oversized blazers and wide-leg trousers all in a muted colour palette with a relaxed vibe. It’s a timeless look that still feels modern and with wardrobe staples like tailoring that is made from qualitative material, the look is slouchier and softer.
What would summer be without its sunsets? This season catwalks were awash with shades of a golden sunset evoking a sense of calm and relaxation. Drawing inspiration from the warming hues of the setting sun, starting at the palest yellow and reaching the richest rust brown via zesty orange, this Indian summer colour palette will make you dream of your next vacation. And, while it might have summery undertones with tie-dye and dip-dye, it will look just as good come the autumn months. Just swap out your tailored shorts and sandals for wide-leg jeans and heels boots.
This trend is more understated and embraces nudity in a subtle and chic way. While wearable when the heat is really up, translucent fabrics with lace trims, delicate corsetry, and sheer slips have made their way from the bedroom to the streets. Think breezy, dreamy, and romantic. Layer up now with knits and bombers, gradually peeling off as the weather turns sultry.
