What to wear this spring? The Ultimate Guide to Trends 2022

It’s sunny, the hemlines are rising and bold, bright colors dominate the streets. This can only mean one thing: Spring 2022 fashion trends have arrived. Grab your gray knits and put away those wool pants. The spring 2022 fashion trends have an upbeat, offbeat feel to them.

The trends for spring 2022 are seen at runway shows in New York and Tokyo. They embrace joy and vibrancy. Bold stripes in black or white, some with flashes of grassy green at Tory Burch, signaled a new order. Prada and Chanel showed that swimsuits can be worn as ready-to-wear. Dries Van Noten and Marine Serre revived the fun popcorn tops from the ’90s, and Prada and Chanel both walked the catwalk in short-shorts and swimsuits.

Aboutfash has broken down eight trends for spring 2022, and how to achieve them.

Channel your holley spirit

Latticed knitwear is a combination of the best: It’s warm enough to withstand spring breezes, but also allows for maximum sun exposure. Raf Simons and Rick Owens are intentionally showing a bit of skin with their sweaters. For a long, slim look, wear yours with a maxiskirt paired with sleek sandals.
