1. Mapping Out the 2023 Fashion Scene
What Will the Foresight be?
2023 is around the corner and fashion is a ever-evolving industry. We take a look at the design choices, colors, and materials that will shape the world of fashion in the coming year.
Novel Color Palettes
Let’s start from the top. Look out for colors that are out of the ordinary. We can expect to see new hues that are bold and impossible to miss. You guessed it, neons are here to stay. From pop greens to mellow yellows, you will be able to create unique and interesting looks when sporting such trendy tones.
Texture is In
When it comes to texture, fabrics such as chenille and corduroy are coming back in a big way. These fabrics give off a modern bohemian vibe that will add an effortless edge to any look. On the other hand, the classic denim is en-vogue and statement denim pieces like shorts, cargo pants and overalls are seeing a surge in popularity.

Yesteryear is making a comeback big time. When it comes to classics, think:
- High Collar, Balloon Sleeve Tops
- Wide Leg Pants
- Linen Blazer
- Thick Strap Sandals
These items may look retro, but they include modern accents and cuts. Check your closet, these timeless pieces may just be waiting for you to bring them back to life.
The Best of Accessories
Characters like Michael Jackson and Diana Ross have left a heavy impression in the fashion world. In 2023, their influences will still be seen in the style of the season. Look out for statement accessories like chunky belts, gold chain necklaces, and big hats. As earrings continues their celebrity moment, metal and beaded designs will dominate the accessory market.
2. Must-Have Pieces for a Look Ahead of the Curve
The world of fashion keeps pushing the boundaries of style, and if you want to stay ahead of the curve, it’s time to update your wardrobe. Lifting your everyday look doesn’t need to require a huge financial investment. There are plenty of must-have pieces to elevate your style without breaking the bank.
Start with basics and give your outfit a boost with cool accessories & stylish sneakers. Transform an everyday look into something special by adding a contemporary die-cut bag or timeless leather jacket.
Here are our top picks for getting ahead of the fashion curve:
- Bright & Bold Sneakers
- Printed Bomber Jackets
- Faux Fur Coats
- Extremely High-Waisted Jeans
- Dramatic Statement Bags
These trendy pieces, combined with classic items like leather jackets, blazers, and timeless denim, will keep your wardrobe looking super current season after season.
Elevate basic business suiting with some sparkle. Add an eye-catching sequin skirt to an evening top & tailored blazer for a glamourous look. Tone down a busy print with a contrasting pattern for a classic, always-modern silhouette.
3. Experimental Designers and Bold New Styles
Creative experimentation with a desire to explore daring new fashion trends seems like one of trends that will never go out of fashion. Driven by the desire to make a bold statement, experimental designers are working hard to bring us the latest looks.
One of the most obvious trends this season is the appearance of all things oversized, which was highlighted by some of the latest catwalk collections. From XXL coats to chunky knitwear pieces and bright color blocking, oversized looks are everywhere. A simple style tweak to oversized items allows you to construct a unique but stylish look that makes a statement.
Power dressing is certainly making a comeback, with more daring designs making an impact. Throwing away the traditional workwear silhouettes, experimental designers are working with items that combine textures and colors to bring something new to the table. Look out for items like structured blazers covered in glitter, electric blue trousers, and neon wrap skirts that make a real impact.
At the same time, there’s a huge focus on sustainability in fashion, with increasing numbers of experimental designers creating collections crafted from recycled and upcycled materials. Going up a level from simply buying items made from ethical fabrics, these designers are pushing the boundaries of what can be created from recycled materials in terms of style and texture.
At the same time, existing materials are being pushed to their limits in terms of creating daring new styles. Denim, in particular, is seeing a surprising new resurgence, with a mix of experimental techniques being used to give items a unique twist. Think intricate embroidery, strange patchwork, and frayed hems that cause denim to look like something from another world.
4. The Art of Accessorizing: Making the Old New Again
There is something special about the art of accessorizing; the ability to take an old outfit and make it feel new again. Whether it’s jewelry, hats, bags or scarves, adding a single item can transform your entire look.
If you are looking for a subtle way to bring something fresh to your wardrobe, we suggest incorporating unique jewelry into your look. A playful jangle of bangles or a pendant necklace can bring a bright surprise. Another great accessory suggestion is layering necklaces, stacked in different sizes with both delicate and chunky elements. Arm candy can also make a fabulous addition, with a collection of bold bracelets.
If you have an extra desire for glamour, there’s no better way to add some pizazz then with statement-making headwear. For a bold take on a timeless classic, think berets, wide-brim fedoras or a classic felt cloche. And no occasion should go without a hat; choose something that reflects your unique style and personality.
Don’t forget the details! Adding a few accessories like a hands-free bag or pair of sunglasses can help tie your look together. Accessories are also useful to switch up a daytime look to something more appropriate for nighttime erring. Consider adding a few new pieces to your closet:
- Sunglasses
- Vintage brooches and pins
- A brightly colored belt
- An eye-catching scarf
- Metallic shoes
Put your own spin on accessorizing and watch as you bring your old looks back to life.
