Fashion trends for winter 2022/23: what prints will be in fashion in the new season

Unlike clothing styles, there aren’t that many key fashion prints and they rotate and replace each other season after season. For example, do you remember how in The Devil Wears Prada Miranda Priestley snapped in disappointment, “Flowers? In spring? How original? Floral patterns regularly appear in spring collections. And winter, like this year. But does that mean you can simply pick a floral dress and wear it all year round and hope to get compliments from famous fashionistas?

Not at all: the prints change a little, slightly deviate from the canons, and it is with such details that you can come up with a real fashionista. Catch our little cheat sheet on the fashion prints of the coming months and the nuances you need to take into account to be on trend.

Let’s start (or rather continue) with a floral ornament. Brands from Richard Quinn to Dries van Noten recommend wearing big buds as a bright accent. And don’t be afraid to overdo it: in fashion, dresses and skirts are completely covered with flowers, and it is not necessary to choose pastel shades. The main thing is that such elements should be modestly monochromatic, for example, an ordinary golf or shoes – then harmony will be preserved in the image.

It is unlikely that there will be a year when predatory prints do not show up at all. Designers regularly turn to them and revise patterns for leopard, tiger, giraffe and zebra. We especially like the last option: the black and white color scheme is easy to combine with a basic wardrobe, but the print does its job and adds a smart twist to your look.

And here the classic caught up with us again – the strict crow’s foot will not disappoint you. Although not, a puncture may occur if you take the “Chanel” print too seriously. In the 2022/2023 season, it is fashionable to combine this geometric pattern with juicy shades and unusual styles. A straight-cut houndstooth jacket is a must-have in your wardrobe, but why not give it a breath of fresh air with a mini, shoulder jacket or hot pink coat? In addition, this technique quickly rejuvenates the image!

That’s right, not just a cage, but its punk version, i.e. contrasting, saturated, dramatic, often using black. The aesthetics of grunge and punk remain prevalent this year, so designers once again play on contrasts and try to subdue this style a little with straight lines. The combination is incredibly spectacular – Vivienne Westwood is thrilled!

And if you’re still afraid to introduce bold, non-traditional prints into your wardrobe, we have great news: mixing incompatible patterns in winter 2022/2023 is all the rage! Ethnic with geometry, flora with a tie and straight lines – there are a lot of options! You can start by adding a peacock stole to a monochromatic look and then, you see, you’re already wearing an ethnic sweater with a floral print bag. We start small – and there, believe me, you will awaken the appetite for fashion experiments!
