Winter Fashion Trends - 2022
They're here—the Only Winter 2022 Fashion Trends You Need to Know
Winter Fashion Trends
As the weather changes, everything from clothes to make-up changes. Speaking of winter, choosing clothes in the season seems to be more difficult than in the summer because on the one hand the effects of the weather are taken care of and on the other hand it is necessary to follow the fashion trends. That is, they are warm to wear and stylish and trendy to look at.
There's something especially intriguing about a layering piece that doubles as a going-out staple, which is why we're so engrossed by the onesies that took over the F/W 22 runways. Spotted at presentations by LaQuan Smith, Ottolinger, Prada, Rick Owens, and more last winter, The Catsuit is quickly becoming one of fashion's favorite trends for its versatility and eye-catching appeal.
If you thought the cutout craze of summer 2022 would wave goodbye once the temperatures dropped, think again. Designers appear to be digging deeper into the trend and coming up with new and innovative ways to bring the peekaboo style into winter. Think long-sleeve dresses, tops, and jumpsuits with sleek slits around the shoulders, waist, and hips, as seen at Coperni, Mugler, Michael Kors Collection, Dion Lee, and more.
From bright-red outerwear at
Bottega Veneta to baby-pink handbags at Blumarine, a furry frenzy was
apparent on the F/W 22 runways. Clearly, despite fashion's move away from
2020's comfort-first mentality, designers aren't ready to turn their backs
on that cozy feeling just yet. This time around, though, getting comfortable
looks a little different, and by that, we mean fuzzy and luxurious.
You'd be surprised at what slipping on a super-shiny trench coat, tailored suit, or pair of low-slung trousers can do for your mood, even when it is 4 p.m. and already dark outside. At least, that's what today's top designers, from Off-White and Burberry to Peter Do and Gucci, would have us believe. With metallic and latex, fashion is taking a turn toward the reflective side for winter 2022.
Sure, we're almost fully reacquainted with the outside world again, but that doesn't mean that we want to be seen at all times. Thankfully, Ami, Celine, Dior, and Courrèges found a way to make going incognito look like a purposeful style move—with the help of balaclavas, baseball caps, headscarves, and trench coats that almost completely hide your identity.
Winter 2022's most ubiquitous and aesthetically pleasing pattern? Moiré, the wavy, textured print that Marine Serre, Tom Ford, Sandy Liang, and Melitta Baumeister all featured in their F/W 22 collections. And we can see why. From puffers and blazers to dresses and trousers, the moiré effect is coming for a winter wardrobe near you.
Sweater season has hit its stride, with designers steering away from straight forward knitwear and instead opting for silhouettes that are worthy of excitement—and perhaps a purchase or two. Gabriela Hearst clearly had knitwear on the brain, as she included it in multiple ways across her namesake brand and Chloé, where she became creative director in 2020. At Ganni and The Row, knit scarves were attached to oversize sweaters, which were also present at Jonathan Simkhai.
There's something charming about incorporating summer clothes into winter, like pairing a summery skirt with a massive sweater!
