A new year means new trends. Already we are seeing an influx of new ideas in fashion with the year just beginning. Some trends carrying over from 2022 and other fresh ideas… and tights as pants? Below is a compiled list of 2023 fashion trends you can shop right now.
Dresses with Floral Appliqué
These floral dresses are taking over my social media feed with stars like Hailey Bieber, Elsa Hosk and Lori Harvey sporting the trend. You can shop this style of dress many places ranging in price points, but designer Magda Butrym serves as the ultimate inspo.
House of CB, Caterina Floral Embellished Cutout Minidress, $239
Mango, Appliqué draped dress, $45.99
Tights as Pants
Perhaps the most questionable trend we are seeing in 2023 is tights worn as pants. If you want to channel your inner Kendall Jenner, I recommend pairing these with an oversized jacket and high heels for a chic, high-fashion look.
Mugler, Black Spiral Leggings, $590
Wolford, x Mugler A Tight, $175
Tie-Up Tops
These relatively simple tie-up tops are the perfect basic to ease your way into a trendy fashion season. These tops come in a range of styles and colors and pair amazingly with denim, a mini skirt, or vegan leather pants.
With Jean, Adeline Top, $189
16Arlington, Solaria Sequin Top, $234
Baggy Denim
In 2022, we ditched skinny jeans and our pants seemed to get more relaxed with wider, baggier and looser styles available. While skinny jeans are rumored to make a comeback in 2023, baggy jeans are still very much trending.
AFRM, Turner Jeans, $98
GRLFRND, Bella Low Rise Boyfriend, $225
Leather Jackets
A leather jacket is a simple addition to add a sporty touch to any outfit. Throw it on over a slip dress, a tee and jeans or even a sweatsuit for an effortlessly chic look. Whether you love a moto style, a bomber, or a classic jacket, you’re bound to find a leather outwear piece you’ll love.
Miaou, Vaughn Jacket, $495
Worn Vintage, Vintage Leather Jacket, $528.48
Cargo Pants
Another trend carrying over from 2022, cargo pants are an easy way to add an element of cool to any look. Cargo pants can elevate your streetwear outfit by pairing with sneakers and a trucker hat, or dress down your nighttime outfit with a silk top and pumps.
Zara, Satin Effect Cargo Pants, $49.90
BY.DYLAN, Lexi Cargo Pants, $119
Remember that just because something is trending doesn’t mean it’s the only thing acceptable to wear. Always wear what you love and feel most confident in, but let this serve as a guide to the latest it-items trending this new year.
