fashion trends to have on your radar in 2023!!

Winter is creeping ever closer, and as the temperature takes a dip, we can't help but fantasise about what awaits us next season. Getting ahead of the game never hurt anyone, and what better way to occupy the gloomier months than by planning our 2023 wardrobe.

Regencycore

If you're on the hunt for a spring fashion trend to rep for prom 2023, this is the one. Regencycore embraces the feminine gloves, puff sleeves, pale pastels, and Empire-waist gowns of the late 18th and early 19th centuries, and the aesthetic can be seen in collections shown by Markarian and Dennis Basso who have both embraced the luxurious embellishments of regencycore.

80s Nostalgia

Grab your headphones and Kate Bush cassette tape, because we're rewinding back to the 1980s. "The ‘80s were all about embracing a sense of boldness from bright hues like cerulean, hot pink and citron to the art of power dressing through power suits," notes Becker.

Bright suits and streetwear have been big for awhile now, so it only makes sense that we've circled back around to the era of tracksuits, leg warmers, and brightly-colored athletic clothing.

Wide Leg Pants

For the last ten years or so, if you had asked a woman to wear pair of pants that weren’t skin-tight, she would have rolled her eyes in disgust.

In 2022, we gave skinny jeans and leggings undivided attention, but finally, 2023 will finally save us from another year of uncomfortably tight jeans for women.

Leg-wide pants, also known as baggy or puddle pants, have been rising for quite some time.

Utilitarian Style

If the simplicity of practical clothing speaks to you, you might enjoy incorporating some utility styles into your 2023 wardrobe. Utilitarian fashion tends to be functional because it draws inspiration from military, wartime, and post-apocalyptic styles. Think cargo pants, buckles and straps, jackets, and belts.

"What I’m loving this year is the range of iterations of cargo pants — you can find pink satin pairs, cool denim options, or chic cream pairs with more minimalistic pockets. There’s really something for everyone these days," explains Becker.
