As we step into a new season, fashion enthusiasts everywhere are eagerly anticipating the next big trends in women’s fashion. From the runway to the streets, there are a variety of fresh and exciting styles ready to make their mark. So what can we expect to see dominating the fashion scene in the coming months? Let’s take a closer look at some of the most promising trends on the horizon, from bold ’80s revivals to sleek minimalism and everything in between.

The 80s Revival

First up, let’s talk about the 80s revival that’s been bubbling up and is now ready to explode. I’m talking about strong shoulders, ruched fabrics, and eye-popping neons. Yep, fashion is taking a cue from the decade of excess and I am here for it! The key is to incorporate 80s elements in a modern way. Try a hot pink blazer with statement shoulders over your favourite jeans and tee. Or go for a ruched mini dress in a slinky fabric for your next GNO. Accessorize with layers of gold chains and you’ll be an 80s dream.  

Minimalism Makes a Comeback

On the opposite end of the spectrum, minimalism is also having a major moment and this trend towards paring back is only going to accelerate. Think clean lines, muted earth tones, and quality basics that can be mixed and matched with ease. A classic button-down shirt, straight-leg trousers, or a slouchy suit – these timeless pieces should be the foundation of your wardrobe. Invest in well-made separates in neutral shades of ivory, camel, black and grey. With a less-is-more approach, you’ll look effortlessly pulled together, never overdone.

Bold, Head-to-Toe Prints

Another trend I see being huge is head-to-toe prints. I’m not talking demure little florals – I mean bold, in-your-face, look-at-me prints. Printed pants have been around for a minute but this season it’s all about the printed suit, shirt dress, or maxi skirt. And don’t be afraid to clash your prints either! Unexpected combos like stripes with florals or polka dots with animal print are so fashion-forward. The more maximal, the better.

Retro Wallpaper Prints

On the print front, retro wallpaper prints are also on the rise. Those kitschy florals that look straight out of grandma’s house are very in vogue. Look for abstracted wallpaper prints on flowy dresses or blouses for a vintage vibe that still feels current. I love a wallpaper print with ruffles or lace for added romance. Lean into those Little House on the Prairie vibes and embrace your inner prairie girl.

Collegiate Prep Revival

Speaking of all things retro and nostalgic, collegiate prep is another trend to watch out for. We’re going back to school with varsity sweaters, jersey tees, rugby stripes, tennis skirts and preppy details like crests and letterman patches. To keep the look modern and not too costumey, partner collegiate pieces with more grownup separates – think a tennis skirt with an oversized blazer and loafers or a varsity cardigan over a silky slip dress. It’s The Official Preppy Handbook for a new generation.

The Common Thread: Optimism and Joy

So what’s the common thread tying all these trends together? A sense of optimism, playfulness and unabashed joy. After a few very long years of sweatpants and basic tees as our public uniform, fashion is ready to go bold, bright and maybe even a little over-the-top. Don’t be afraid to stand out and experiment with in-your-face styles. Neon pink crop top with zebra flares? Yes, please. Poufy tulle dress in highlighter yellow for the day? Go for it! Wear what makes you feel happy and confident.
