As 2022 gets off to a cold start, Fashion Week lovers are getting ready for what is to come this Fall/Winter 2022 season. Fashion week might be our favorite event of this upcoming spring and with things looking up we are hoping that we will get to show off our spring styles out on the street. While we stay cozy at home and social distance, read some of our fashion predictions for the upcoming season.

Bright Colored & Patterned Knitted Sweaters

From Christopher Rogers to JW Anderson colorful knitted sweaters are a must for this upcoming year. In 2021 we saw the rise of bold colored and patterned sweaters and this year is no different. This 2022 calls to cozy up in the winter weather in bold prints and patterns. Colorful sweaters go great either by spicing up an outfit full of neutrals or by being paired with bright monochrome looks. Here are a few picks of our favorite sweaters of the season:

Cecile Bahnsen Greta Rib Cutout Mohair Blend Sweater $510

The Cecile Bahnsen Greta Rib Cutout Mohair Blend Sweater is a staple piece and beautiful sweater that represents the spirit of the upcoming fashion this Spring 2022. This sweater is delicate and detailed yet extremely simple. Its deconstructed style and perfect monochrome look is a staple look that I simply can not get enough of.

Plaited Stitch Recycled Blend Crewneck Sweater $21

The Plaited Stitch Recycled Blend Crewneck Sweater is perfect for all fashion lovers on a budget who are trying to stay on-trend. We love this sweater not only for its beautiful lavender color and chunky texture but because of its recycled-fiber blend. This sustainable sweater really encaptures the most important fashion mission of 2022: sustainability. But it here at Nordstrom for $21.

Sparkles and Metallics

This is the year for all of those who are looking to shine. This 2022 be daring and add some sparkle to your wardrobe. Metallics are back in a Y2K nostalgia and golds and silvers will be a staple of the season. Bejeweled pieces, as well as crystal embellishments, will be crucial for staple pieces from shoes to dresses. The roaring ’20s are coming to life and you better make sure you have a shimmering dress as your secret weapon. Below are a few recommended clothing pieces that will make you the main character everywhere you go.

The Amory Ankle Strap Pump from Steve Madden is the perfect touch of sparkle to add to your outfits this 2022. This heel’s elegant silhouette and mix of color and shimmer are perfect for a night out or more elegant occasions.

Sequin Long Sleeve Body-Con Midi Dress $75

The Sequin Long Sleeve Body-Con Midi Dress will hug all your curves and is the perfect showstopper dress for a night out. This dress reminds me of Oscar de la Renta’s Matrix dress worn recently by Carrie-Anne Moss. Sequent dresses will be very in this year and this an elegant subtle dress with some shine. Buy it here at Nordstrom for $75.

Skull Mini Leather Shoulder Bag $1040

While we must admit that this bag may not be accessible to everyone if you are looking to splurge or invest in a handbag this year we would recommend this little clutch. The Skull Mini Leather Shoulder Bag is a perfect staple bag and if you are not into wearing metallics a handbag can be the perfect solution. With an Alexander McQueen staple gothic charm this handbag will make heads turn when you walk into a room. While this year we expect bigger handbags to be more common a clutch is unbeatable for all those who like to carry little stuff. Get it here at Nordstrom for $1040.

Neutral Monochrome Looks

The surge in the past year of bold colors and funky patterns has called for some trendsetters to go back to minimalist looks. While we strongly believe that eccentric looks will continue to be in, everyone must have a neutral ensemble. By neutrals, we mean soft pastels, nudes, browns, and white. These colors are perfect for this wintertime and will continue to thrive through the spring. While bold colors and patterns are perfect for the summertime. Below are some pieces that you can add to your neutral ensemble.

Fits Everybody Square Neck Sleeveless Bodysuit $58

SKIMS has fastly become a cult favorite with its fits-all pieces and body-hugging bodysuits. SKIMS is perfect to give anyone an hourglass figure and we think the Fits Everybody Square Neck Sleeveless Bodysuit is a must-have. This bodysuit comes in all ranges of neutrals and pastels as well as a couple of bright colors. This bodysuit will be the perfect base for your minimal monochrome ensemble. Purchase it here at Nordstrom for $58

Relaxed Flare Jeans $45

The Relaxed Flare Jeans are a perfect and affordable option to add to our ensemble. These beautiful pants are perfect for anyone no matter your size or curves and have a meticulous construction. These pants have some retro vibe perfect for the Y2K nostalgia while having a very classy silhouette. These pants go great with a cropped jacket or an oversized coat.

We would recommend pairing with some cute white ankle socks for our neutral monochrome look. Buy them at Nordstrom for $150

While we predict some other trends such as cropped jackets, large handbags, low rise jeans, and the return of the UGG’s, we believe these are some predictions that involve basic essentials that you must have and that will outlast all trends. These pieces range from all prices and brands and if you are looking to treat yourself or change up your wardrobe we think these are some great recommendations.
