2022 FASHION TRENDS | trends I'm seeing as a fashion design assistant

Introduction

Hello friends! Welcome back to my channel. My name is Mallory, and if you’re new here, I live in New York and post a lot of thrifting content, fashion, and lifestyle vlogs. I work in the fashion industry, so be sure to subscribe for everything related to this world. I post videos on Thursdays and Sundays, and today is a Thursday video where I'm excited to discuss some of the new trends I’m noticing in 2022.

I have compiled a list of 12 trends that you see as noteworthy in the fashion world. Instead of focusing solely on what's coming up in spring, I want to provide you with an overview of current styles and what to watch out for while thrifting.

1. Bows

Bows are making a significant comeback! They're popping up on garments everywhere, from tops with bow prints to jumpers featuring rhinestone bows. I adore this trend, especially with shoes adorned with bows that remind me of Carrie Bradshaw. I’m excited to explore thrift flipping pieces into bows as a personal project this year.

2. Bra as a Top

Another trend I’m seeing is the use of bras as tops. Although I’m not sure I’m ready to embrace this trend fully, it’s being done stylishly under blazers or jackets. If you see a cute bra while thrifting, it might be worth trying it out as a fashion statement.

3. Crochet

Crochet is making waves, reminiscent of the boho styles of 2016. I love how cute and vintage crochet tops are becoming, especially paired with summer outfits or casual wear. Many thrift finds can reflect this aesthetic, and it’s a very versatile style.

4. Knit Everything

The popularity of knitwear has surged again, likely due to the pandemic. Knit sets are fashionable for both casual and work environments. Look for stylish knit pieces, so you can stay cozy while looking chic.

5. Maxi Skirts

Maxi skirts are back, and they are often styled with boots, delivering a 90s vibe reminiscent of Rachel Green. I see denim maxi skirts and other versatile materials thriving in this fashion moment.

6. 80s Revival

This season has seen a return to flashy styles reminiscent of the 80s, with sequins, oversized shoulders, and matchy-matchy ensembles. The vibrant and fun visual impact captures the essence of that decade, making it a trend worth exploring.

7. Quilting

Quilted fashion is emerging strongly, blending boho vibes with athleisure styles. Expect to see patchwork jeans and oversized vests dominating wardrobes this year.

8. Mini Skirts

Mini skirts are making a bold comeback, often in bold colors or with extravagant details like feathers. While this trend captures a playful essence, it’s more about personal comfort levels.

9. Feathers

Feathers are in, appearing in various garment details and accessories. I love the creativity of adding feathers to pieces, whether it’s sleeves or embellishments.

10. Dark Denim

Dark denim is also trending this year. It’s flattering and pairs beautifully with classic styles, exuding chicness while maintaining comfort.

11. Catsuits

Catsuits are creating discussion. While practical for skiing, they are also appearing as nightlife fashion, creating a mix of comfort and style that might not be for everyone.

12. Accessories and Styling

Lastly, I want to leave you with a teaser for my next video. Accessories are a fantastic way to elevate your outfits without having to buy a whole new wardrobe. Expect my next video to dive into the world of gloves, brooches, and types of shoes that will refresh your style!
