Besides celebrations and hopefulness, 2022 is all set to bring forth a host of new trends to the fashion world, and we couldn’t be more excited! The last year saw many fashion trends make a comeback from the ‘90s as well as the 2000s. While some of these might spill over to the new year as well, we’re here with a list of some super exciting fashion trends that you might want to consider investing in this year.
Conscious Consumption
Be it sustainably made products or the concept of circularity in fashion, 2022 will see a bigger wave of conscious consumption than the last couple of years. With unique innovations set to kickstart this year and the new digital fashion trends in play, sustainable fashion is definitely going to be the new black this year.

Cut-Outs
This Y2K trend has taken on a life of its own in the past year and the trend is set to get even bigger in 2022. The trend was seen dominating international runway shows like Prabal Gurung, PatBo, Saint Laurent and many more. While we saw a whole lot of cut-outs in dresses, be prepared to see some really unique cut-out outfits in tops, pants and skirts as well.

Oversized Silhouettes
There’s no doubt that oversized is a much-loved silhouette and the last few years have only made it more popular. Be it the statement suits from the ‘70s or the baggy jeans and trousers from the Y2K time, the oversized is here and how. 2022 will only see more dynamic versions of the oversized style, making fashion more comfy yet chic.

Regency Core
Make way for corset-inspired tops, pearl accessories, lady-like cardigans, puffed sleeves and a lot of elegant-chic vibes. While it was the Netflix hit, Bridgerton, that sealed the successful fate of Regency Core fashion in our closets, the trend has only seen an upward climb ever since. Right from street-style stars and Bollywood starlets, the Regency Core curiosity has everyone’s attention and it’s only here to stay.

Digital Fashion
If there’s anything the pandemic has introduced to the fashion world, it’s the induction of digital fashion. You might have heard all about fashion NFTs making the headlines in the past year, and you can take our word when we say it’s only going to get bigger. With Metaverse platform Decentraland set to host a fully digital fashion week in March this year, you can expect more buzz around fashion NFTs in 2022.
