The times when fashion was something inaccessible and elitist are long gone. Now each of us has access to a wide selection of women’s clothing for every taste and cost: you can create trendy looks without effort and special investments, use the fashion trends of the season in your wardrobe, follow the advice of stylists or repeat the looks of celebrities. Women’s fashion now is not just a T-shirt and jeans worn with sneakers and the first bag or backpack that comes across (it is rather anti-fashion). We have the opportunity to observe the development of more global trends: capsule wardrobe, body-positive, mixing styles and shapes. What can now be attributed to the new style and how to take advantage of such trends for your personal wardrobe?
FREEDOM OF OVERSIZE
Tight dresses, skinny jeans, fitted jackets and tight trousers are things of the past. Now fashion is more about comfort than about the desire to emphasize every curve of the body, so I would rather give preference to clothes “with air”. The new fashion includes one-size hoodies (both on their own and as part of knitted tracksuits with joggers), loose A-line dresses and sundresses, batiste dresses with wide layered ruffles, oversize cotton shirts, casual loose-fitting suits with shirt or blouse and wide trousers made of staple cotton and viscose, oversize eco leather jackets, wide-leg jeans or hip flares. Such clothes can be combined both with each other and with elements of narrower styles (crop tops, T-shirts, tank tops, longsleeves).
BLURRED STANDARDS OF THE FEMALE BODY
The 90-60-90 parameters are no longer the standard of female beauty. The days of thin models from the 90s are also in the past, giving way to a variety of female figures both on the catwalks and in everyday life. Many brands place a lot of emphasis on plus size lines, which include the hottest styles in dresses, suits, skirts, trousers and outerwear. Size charts are designed not only for three running sizes, but include both XXS and XXXL. This is a very pleasant trend, because women all over the world can finally afford to be themselves, without chasing changeable standards, and choose trendy clothes for absolutely any type of body. In addition, thanks to the oversized fashion, you can now find things in a single size (for example, XL) for any customer: both thin and curvy.
A CAPSULE WARDROBE CONCEPT
Another super popular concept today is the capsule wardrobe. You no longer need a huge closet with growing number of clothing: the capsule is limited to 30-40 items and consists of a base that is relevant at all times and seasons, and fleeting trends that change from time to time. The good thing is that all the items and accessories of the capsule can be combined with each other and give you the opportunity to create different looks from the same clothing items.
How to change the wardrobe you are used to in accordance with the new trends? Choose the trends and concepts that you like and try to implement them into your life. If reformatting your closet into a small capsule is a difficult and intimidating undertaking, start small: buy a couple of new basics and some bright summer 2022 trend to combine them with each other. I’m sure it will work out step by step!
