Fashion trends to expect in 2022
With 2022 finally here, we are already in store for another crazy year of trends and comebacks. Every year there are pieces, brands and items that seem to take over the world and really capture the media’s eye, so getting ready for 2022 is going to be a rollercoaster.
As we already know, the early 2000’s fashion, as well as styles from the 90’s, have already been making a comeback for a couple of years, and it’s not going to stop. Since the very end of 2021 and the beginning of the new year, we have already seen certain pieces hitting Instagram.
Accessories such as the iconic trucker hat have been spotted around Hollywood and New York City being worn by your favorite celebrities such as Rihanna and Kendall Jenner.
The trucker hat, made widely popular by the brand Von Dutch, was worn by many celebrities in the early 2000’s such as the icon herself Paris Hilton and others like Britney Spears.
The Von Dutch trucker hat, selling at a minimum price of around $100, is already starting to be worn by more and more people on social media.
Other articles of clothing that we will see more of in the new year are definitely knitted and crocheted overwear.
Amongst the pandemic and people being locked at home they have begun to discover new hobbies, one being crocheting and knitting. Many people have begun knitting their own clothes to keep them busy but to also help them save money.
Companies have begun to catch on to this style of wear and have started to mass-produce clothing of this type.
Knitted clothing is such an easy way to add excitement to your clothing without having to break the bank. The colors and patterns that one can create with knitting material are astonishing and an easy way to bring creativity to your style.
As for shoes, platform sneakers, boots and even flip flops have been making an appearance because they help add height and dimension to a look.
Companies such as Converse and Demonia Cult have really been in control of the platform game recently. Demonia Cult has catered more towards the edgy rock style of fashion while Converse has focused more on the fun and wild side of style.
The platform shoe is such an iconic piece because it helps elevate an outfit by creating volume and dimension. With being able to bring height into your style, you can work with long pants and shirts to help elongate yourself.
Trends constantly change throughout the year and it’s completely okay. There is no need to try to hop on board with all the looks, because it can be boring and it’s fine to be different.
