The summer of 2022 will be one to remember for many, particularly with the lifting of Pandemic restrictions in many places. This means you can’t only travel this summer but also mingle with other people. Of course, this means you want to look your best, so you better brush up on the season’s must-have fashions that you will find below.
1970s
The 1970s look is big for SS22 and we’ll see how that affects it in a number of ways. The first is with knits that will appear in cardigans, vests, even swimwear. To really go top of the crochet tree, buy or make yourself a 70s floral power-inspired headband.
Another 70s trend that will be popular this year is platform shoes. Indeed, all shoes will provide the platform treatment from strappy part numbers to flip-flops. Most of the 70s looks were closed platform shoes with reverse heels. Think clumsy and high and you cannot go wrong!
Lastly, with regards to channeling the ’70s this season, it is time to embrace the fringes! Fringe on dresses, skirts, knits, and even coats will make you look that way in 2022. The longer the better. Just ensure they are not so long that they create a tripping hazard.
Oversized blazers/jackets
The oversized jacket trend seen in 2021 is here to stay and make its way into smart, angular blazers. Pair it with the most miniskirt for a sharp look that’s sure to turn heads.
Alternatively, if a blazer is a bit formal for your wardrobe, a large checkered shirt and cropped jean jacket can even complete the look.
Bikinis everywhere
If you were expecting bikinis to be just on the beach this year, you’d be in for a surprise. Indeed, it looks like the absence of vacations over the past two years means that people will jump at the chance to rock a bikini on ANY occasion!
In particular, strappy swimsuits are in this season, and they go for all sizes and shapes of individuals, no beach-body rules required. The vintage look also continues to be popular high waisted bikini bottoms giving it a classic look that harkens back to the 50’s and 60’s. Not to mention the supreme practicality of high-waisted beachwear.
White cotton
Structured, lightweight, embroidered or plain white cotton dresses are all the rage this summer. The amazing thing about such an outfit is that it can form the basis of your entire summer wardrobe as it can be worn over a beach outfit, jeans or alone with some nice (platform shoes).
(When wearing a white cotton dress only, choose nude underwear for an understated look, or pop something bright for contrast!)
Decorate with oversized jewelery from a jewellery store in Dayton, and enjoy the sensation of staying cool even in the heat of summer with a straightforward white cotton dress. For extra style points, find one in a puffball style or a long maxi with tiers and embroidery that can be teamed with your 1970s items for a entirely cohesive look.
