The Biggest Fashion Trends For Spring 2022

Dresses Over Trousers

This nostalgic styling trick is poised to take over 2022, thanks to the resurgence on the runway. There are really no rules to the look, save for throwing a dress over trousers; there's no limit to silhouettes, occasions, or styles. The effect varies with the style you select, whether you opt for a contemporary sheath (as seen here on the Proenza Schouler runway) or a floaty, bohemian-feeling tunic. We love a trend that's open to interpretation.

The Y2K Halter

The tie-up halter styles that were big in the early aughts are here again. While the style is subtly nostalgic, it also conjures up effortlessly sexy vibes — the kind of style you might pack for a holiday — though with sleeves, the look gets a modern reimagining.

Pedal Pushers

Longer than Bermudas and shorter than capris, this pant silhouette hits at the shin and looks particularly cool worn relaxed and baggy, perhaps layered over high-waisted boxers like Rihanna would, or low-slung with sneakers. Fancier iterations come by way of Michael Kors Collection and Ganni, so perhaps you'll even consider wearing the pedal pusher with a slingback for a future outdoor wedding.

Saturated Tie-Dye

Is it possible to transform tie-dye from season to season? The 2022 runways are proof that it sure is. While groovier paint splashes and swirls hail from the '70s, this reintroduced Y2K fade has an ombré effect and a smoother transition from shade to shade. Prabal Gurung played up the saturation with sequins on his runway, while Alejandra Alonso Rojas showed it in a pajama-like silk and Retrofête took on denim.
