Winter Fashion Trend

A fashion trend means something from the fashion universe became popular. Whether it’s a silhouette, a color, or an item, when its popularity and influence increase to its peak, it has become a trend.

We are now in the middle of the Fall/Winter season and the beginning of winter marks one of the most expected fashion seasons. Let’s dissect how fashion trends work and what you should be wearing when Winter starts.

Famous Cycle

A trend is a cycle of popularity. Many things can influence the next trend. The first step is to enter the fashion world. Maybe an influencer is wearing an iconic outfit at an award event, or there is a designer show, or even a fashion merchandising company introduces the item into the world. After that, there is an acceptance of the item and a natural increase in its popularity. The demand for the item rises as more celebrities and fashion industry influencers, including those on social media, wear outfits that feature the element. You can also check the rise of the item’s appearance in fashion magazines like Elle, for example. People will also start to get curious about it. they will look for it in stores and talk about it online. Everything will end up contributing to its demand increasing until the industry listens to consumers.

Eventually, however, the peak will be reached through saturation. The majority of stores will have noticed and picked up on the trend, and it will be produced in large quantities and offered at a wide range of price levels. Then, when the trend becomes oversaturated, consumers will feel frustrated as they look for outfits that feel fashion-forward and unique. At the end of the cycle, the item is considered outdated and out-of-fashion.

Influential Fashion Trends

1970’s: platform heels and sleeveless vest. While jeans got wider, heels got taller. While the punk scene got popular, the hippie scene was also trendy, with layers and lots of loose fabrics. The sleeveless vest was popular because it could add another layer or it could be worn cinched on the waist helping create more curves and definition to the body.

1980’s: spandex and high-waisted jeans. The ’80s were responsible for aerobic fever. Legging, bold bodysuits, headbands, scrunchies, and bike shorts reigned back then. Everyone wanted to look like Brooke Shields in the Guess campaign so the high-waisted jeans with a simple T-shirt became like a uniform during that decade. In this case, the increase in the item’s popularity was due to strong advertisement.

1990’s: little black dress and combat boots. While grunge settled as a teen style, minimalism took place in fashion. The combat boots matched the grunge prints and patterns while slip dresses, sheer fabric, and a sober palette were conquering the runways. 

2000’s: tracksuit and rhinestones. With fashion icons like Paris Hilton and Brtiney Spears, we had the tracksuit and the all-denim outfit trending for years. On the other hand, we had rhinestones in jeans, spelling brand names in t-shirts, and everywhere else they could fit.

2010’s: skinny jeans and athleisure. The concept of walking comfortably while looking stylish has prevailed during the last decade. Skinny jeans, although considered a little bit outdated nowadays with the baggy styles coming back, still made their way through the mainstream and it’s still considered in fashion if well styled.

Winter Trends

According to Vogue, the 2022 fall/winter fashion show had a strong preoccupation with bringing up social issues. From the war happening in Ukraine to climate change, fashion designers had statements to show on their runways. Giorgio Armani even had his whole show in silence as a sign of respect. However, when it came to clothing, joy was a current theme with colorful flight jackets and their bold prints, for example.

White but not so basic tank tops were leading the shows, made of leather or even with transparent fabric, they were matching long skirts or leather pants. And these leather pants are also part of another trend which is the return of the waist through the comeback of more cinch clothes, corsets, and tight fabrics.

Going a little in the opposite direction, we have knitwear. This year’s fashion shows displayed exotic several-layer mushroom-shaped knit items. Together with the layering trend comes the “maxi drama” with lengths that go to the floor. Maxi coats, faux-fur fabrics, and floor-sweeping dresses stole the spotlight.

But if you think that everything is new, we also have some trends returning from past decades. The hard shoulders, common in the ’80s, are returning as a Balenciaga signature. The most common piece of this trend is the oversized blazer.

Pantone And The Year’s Color

Not everything in fashion is about shape and fabric. Color is also fundamental in fashion. With more vivid colors taking part in colorful patterns, the trend is walking towards flashing-color monochrome outfits and color-blocking matches.

This year’s color is the “Very Peri”, a kind of blue with a violet-red undertone. Selected by Pantone every year, this year’s choice was made after an extensive study of the influence of color around the world. The study took into consideration “the entertainment industry and films in production, traveling art collections and new artists, fashion, home furnishings, areas of design, popular travel destinations, as well as new lifestyles [and] upcoming sporting events”.
