Whether a follower of fashion trends as a sartorial starting point, or simply to provide a subtle update on a timeless wardrobe piece, the 2023 fashion agenda sees renewed classics alongside bold statements that can elevate any ensemble. Possible to be utilised to outfit both the everyday and a special occasion, from long lasting leather to a resurgence in ‘90s fashion trends, the eight aesthetics have every woman’s style mastered. Able to be styled both interchangeably or as a whole, discover the covetable fashion moments to invest in for this year’s outfitting.
Modern Femininity
Inspired by a ballerina’s aesthetic, evoke romance in your new season wardrobe through beautiful blush and beige hues, alongside voluminous tulle dresses and lace detailing. A nude-hued top can be paired with wide leg trousers of a similar shade for day-to-evening dressing, or alongside a longline skirt as an ultra-feminine combination.
When it comes to occasion dressing, more is more. Think embellishments, ruching and intricate detailing, perfect for everything from weddings to the races.
90s-Inspired Minimalism
As is common in the revolving door of fashion, trends often come back around. 2023 sees a minimalist ‘90s revival. Embracing tailored structures and clean sharp lines, colours are often in classic and neutral hues, or richer tones which in turn provide a bolder flourish.
Look to classic tailored combination with daring style details, a blazer worn simply with a lace bra underneath, or a statement retro chain belt.
Longlines and Maxi Lengths
New, longer lines provide an updated directional-yet-elegant structure to dressing. Floor length and ankle skimming, when it comes to this year’s agenda, the longer the better. Be it a maxi skirt coordinated as separates or an instant outfit in the form of a dress, it can be worn with longline boots and a trench coat now and a lightweight blazer and sandals later.
Metallic Designs
Bringing a glamorous flourish to every outfit situation, metallics – in particular the shade of silver – have become a modern essential. Not just reserved for evenings out and parties, dip a toe in through footwear, or experiment with a complete ensemble.
A Continuation of Leather
Leather continues to be an essential addition to every wardrobe. When cared for properly, it ages beautifully, providing true style longevity. Leather layers are set to have a moment over the coming months, the pairing of leather trousers with a coordinated shirt, completed with a premium trench piece. Be it in traditional black, or a playful coloured iteration, consider a fresh take on a classic with a foray into something different.
Long Boots
Every year, a different footwear style takes centre stage. This year’s contribution sees the longer, knee-high boot as a hero. Be it in a flat, riding boot inspired form, a classic black knee-high boot or a sultry over-the-knee design, there are plenty of variations to accompany the tone of any outfit.
Animal Prints
Whether a preference for zebra, snake or traditional leopard, there’s an animal print to suit every style. The leading prints for 2023 outfitting, an injection of animal design is able to break up a more classic outfit. Dare to be different by choosing an animal print design that works hard, elevated with additional details like feathers or military trims – bold details that reflect personal style.
All-Season Sequins
Whilst sequins may be solely associated with the party season, this year they have cemented their place as an everyday piece. Particular occasions may be preferred (note, avoid in the office) however for a day in the city or an afternoon out, pare back with more neutral extras. For example, look to an oversized knit jumper alongside a sequin pair of trousers to provide relaxed glamour.
