✦ Trendoscope: Spring Summer 2022✦

Welcome to Trendoscope: where, just like a weekly horoscope, we predict trends that are emerging at the right place, right time for future seasons. This week we focus on the latest trends from Spring Summer 2022 collections that just finished hitting the runway. 

✧1: Socks & Sandals

Sultry Virgin SS 22 RTW

Socks are traditionally thought of as an undergarment but, designers this season decided to make it known as an added accessory to make outfits more chic. Not only do they add a level of comfort but they can also: emphasize one’s footwear or be a statement element of an outfit. An example of a statement sock comes from the Acne Studios SS ‘22 RTW collection where Jonny Johansson adorns models with knee high socks that have a lace up detail.*This added detail brings the eyes right down to the legs. The contrast between the white socks versus the gold heel makes the footwear standout.

✧2: Speaking Volumes

AZ Factory SS 22 RTW

Spring Summer 22 welcomes designers to “speak volumes” by showcasing garments with a grand structure. The focus of this trend is on the use of tulle. Tulle is a light weight, stiff netting; because of its’ stiffness, when layered, this textile can create volume. The way designers have been utilizing this fabric is by creating flower-esque structures as a foundation or as adornment for their garments.

✧3: Make It Mini

Welcome to Trendoscope: where, just like a weekly horoscope, we predict trends that are emerging at the right place, right time for future seasons. This week we focus on wardrobe essentials and styles we think will continue to take off as we get closer into the Fall season.

Subversive basics is a new fashion trend emerging in the fall where basic garments are being rethought. Key elements of this style include: “interesting cut outs, sheer fabrics, unconventional straps, and artful layering” (CRFashionBook). This new trend is a movement to add individuality to a minimalistic wardrobe. Subversive basics have been a perfect fall trend because the typical color scheme of these pieces include neutral colors such as creme, beige, tan, brown, black, white, etc. Garments within this trend are perfect for fall as they make a statement & are still surprisingly comfortable. An added plus to subversive basics goes to the sustainability aspect; garments within this trend that aren’t already pre-designed are being made from upcycling old clothes. 

✧2: These BOOTS Were Made for Walking

Knee high boots have become a staple in women’s wardrobes for this upcoming fall. This trend is being especially carried out by being worn with skirts, dresses, or even shorts. The new popularity for knee high boots comes from the erogenous zone of the legs being in style nowadays. Boots within this trend have a heel to them; femininity is being highly appreciated within street fashion nowadays over the previously popular “street-wear/hype” style. The most favored materials for boots have been latex or leather with no real preference for color. Women have been styling boots to be either: the standout piece to their outfit or to be an “essential”. Knee high boots are perfect for the fall because they cover a good amount of the leg as protection from the cold, are water resistant (for when it rains or snows), and allow for women to continue wearing bottoms other than just pants. 

✧3: Lengthy Coats

Lengthy trench coats have always been considered as an essential for anyone during the Fall season. This season they are being paired with a classic pair of jeans/ trousers or with a dress. Trench coats are being dressed up and down this Fall as “hype” and femininity battle each other as the most desired style aesthetic. For this trend, most of the trench coats seen have been in muted, neutral toned colors that align with the typical fall color scheme. This new era of trench coat is different than before because there is a bigger focus on green. Lighter shades of green such as olive or sage have been what people are quickly grabbing up. This is perfect for the fall because people have been able to restyle a classic garment; this garment is known for its’ comfort and protection during the weather of the season. 

✶ Summary: This Fall, we think the stars of the season will be subversive basic garments, knee high boots, and trench coats. Check in next week for
