Current Fashion Trends You’ll Be Wearing in 2023

The most current fashion trends are those that feel easy to wear but still look as though you made just enough effort to do whatever it is you do during these strange, strange days and nights. Whether that’s daily and a few essential errands, the occasional (safe!) outdoor dinner, weekend park outings, or in-person work, we all could use clothing that makes us feel a distinct sense of ease and comfort.

As we start to wrap up a year that’s been less than ideal for everyone, take solace in the fact that the current fashion trends you might have bought into in 2021 will only be more prevalent in 2022. Small victories!

Sweet Cropped Cardigans

This trend looks just as cute with lounge-y sweatpants as it does with jeans or a midi skirt. A cropped cardigan offers the fun of a traditional cardigan minus the extra fabric. It’s bulky but brief and to the point. The trimmed silhouette makes this the ideal option to pair with your favorite pair of high-waisted statement pants or to layer over a fall dress without totally stealing the show.

Boots

Seemingly every designer and retailer from. BOOTS which had a massive surge in fall 2021 and will only become more widespread next year. Characterized by an almost comically rounded toe and a thick, rugged sole, it’s among the current fashion trends that look as at home under a long dress or with a super-short skirt as it does paired with slouchy sweatpants or leggings. Consider this one of the current fashion trends worth the investment.

Sweatpants

Few items can replace your favourite pair of worn-in heather grey sweats, but this year—one that was defined by couch clothing—the demand for sweatpants in various colours, including pastels and juicy bolds, was strong. Blame it on the idea that, once we felt comfortable to go outside again, our commitment to comfort didn’t waver but we still wanted to shop for and wear pieces that felt a little more fun than what typically coloured sweatpants telegraph.

Puff Sleeves

The sleeves of a woman’s garment are gathered at the shoulders and caught in at the cuff to create an inflated, puffy effect. Her arms are thin and sinewy under the PUFF SLEEVE of her dress. The popularity of the puff sleeve has waxed and waned throughout the centuries. At certain points in history, puffed sleeves were deemed the height of femininity, while at others, they were considered overkill, and best kept on costumes. Often associated with Disney princesses and Shakespearean heroines, the puffed sleeve has undergone many transformations in size and shape over the years.

Blazers

The Blazer is a type of jacket resembling a suit jacket but cut more casually. A blazer is generally distinguished from a sports coat as a more formal garment and tailored from solid colour fabrics. Blazers often have naval-style metal buttons to reflect their origins as jackets worn by boating club members.
