After two years of staying under the radar, this year’s spring-summer collection marks the glorious return of the fashion industry.
Covid has forced the fashion industry to go into hibernation, but this year, the spring-summer fashion collection marks the triumphant return of fashion. Many fashion trends have also returned along with the spring-summer fashion collection. It is an undeniable fact that fashion will never disappear no matter what happens. Today, together with Illume emag, we will discover the fashion trends that will come back this year.
Y2K: The return of the 2000s fashion trend
According to the cycle of fashion cycles, about every 20-30 years, fashion trends have a certain repetition. So the fashions of the 2000s, also known as the Y2K style, appeared once again. The 2000s were shaped by rebellious counter-fashion principles. For example, low-rise pants that reveal your panties, color schemes that don’t go well, complicated layering styles, extremely bold cutouts (risqué), or printed t-shirts signal for social equality.
Color block color scheme
Color block often appears every time the Spring/Summer fashion season returns. This color scheme is strong and cheerful, so it’s also often applied to a warmer period of the year. However, the color block color scheme of the Spring Summer 2022 fashion trend is somewhat different from previous years. Mainly because the colors are combined together. Usually, color blocks combine colors according to the color wheel principle. These color combos are often contrasting or reciprocating. But Spring Summer 2022, the color combinations are more random, not according to the color wheel rule. This improvisation is influenced by the Y2K style. The counter-fashion of the 2000s was not limited to the form of the clothes, but also from the non-traditional color scheme.
Tassels
Fashion trends stand out on the catwalk Spring Summer 2022: Tassels
Tassels Spring Summer 2022 are not only made from fabric, but also use a variety of different materials. Tassels are a fashion trend often seen on the spring-summer catwalks, and the 2022 season is no exception. The tassels move rhythmically with each step, creating a sense of joy, making each step down the street like a joyful dance. Tassels are also a common decoration in the bohemian style: Floral print maxi dress with fringe hem, so liberal and feminine. Tassels Spring Summer 2022 are diverse in materials. There are dresses made from large, rough and impressive wool yarns. There are patterns with sequin tassels, glittering like a flapper. Tassels in Balmain are rips of fabric reminiscent of medical gauze. Dior even has fringe dresses made from tiny flowers. Who says tassels are monotonous and repeat every year, right?
Cape
When it comes to capes, people often think of medieval knights or superheroes coming out of comic books. Cape, not only a tool to keep warm, but also a symbol of courage. There was something dignified, stately in the long flap of cloth that fluttered behind them, as they headed to the battlefield to protect the weaker. Cape coat styles are a big fashion trend of Spring/Summer 2022. There are short models just down to the knee. There are long models that touch the ground. The designers also released their hands, not confining themselves in the old style of gown (must be worn over the shoulder) but combined the long gown with a shirt, evening dress…
Fluffy
In the social distance due to the pandemic, but the dress that reigns is sports fashion or athleisure. Hoodies, joggers, t-shirts, tight leggings… they’re comfortable, but also plain boring. As a result, everyone wears the same uniform. Social distancing is over, it’s time for us to find something more beautiful to adorn our lives. Squint is used for this reason. Just add a little ruffle, the outfit suddenly looks more interesting. A ruched part of the sleeve, a little ruffled at the hips, is a way to turn a casual outfit into a trendy item.
Gladiator shoes
Gladiator shoes are shoes with many laces wrapped around the ankle. Spring/Summer 2022, if ruching returns to act as a dramatic accent to the outfit, gladiator shoes do the same for the feet. For this year, they aren’t just monotonous with a wrap around the ankle. Shoes with crystal stone (Giambattista Valli) or Roman coin (Altuzarra) are a more fancy variation.
Giant handbags
Although the tiny bags (micro and mini) have not depreciated, the Spring Summer 2022 trend marks the return of the big tote model. We are finally leaving home after two years of staying in place because of the global pandemic. One tiny bag cannot fit all the miscellaneous items we need to carry around. Especially when the trips resume, when the closed-door situation ends. This is when we have to resort to big bags.
The magnificent return of Hobo bags
One of the ultimate easy-to-use bags is the hobo bag. This is a soft-bodied bag, usually with a semicircular shape like a handle, easy to store. Hobo bag models are very suitable for combining with the maximum size above, convenient for trips. Originally, the hobo bag was combined with a bohemian style casual outfit. But on the runway show Spring Summer 2022, from Balmain to Fendi and even Dior, the pretty shape of this bag style is coordinated with all kinds of different outfits.
