Ready to take on a fresh new year?! We’re kickstarting 2023 by lookin’ ahead, checking out what’s trending and how to style the latest heat.
We know that fashion trends are switchin’ up all the time. To get you prepped for a new year and new looks, we’ve rounded up our top trends to watch for 2023! Takin’ inspo from the celeb world and cultural icons, it’s time to get into what’s comin’ up this year…
Sportswear Staples
Sportswear meets the sofa with the latest athleisure looks. After loungewear took over the scene back in 2020, we’re seein’ a move towards sleeker styles and clean-cut silhouettes.
For 2023, think bright and bold colourways, premium fabrics and cool cuts that work from the spin class to the brunch dates.
When you’re heading out, gear up for active days with sweat-wicking tights, tops, sports bras and more! Delivering essential comfort, but still keeping up a sleek, put-together look, sportswear is hittin’ the streets now more than ever. Smash your goals and look good while doin’ it with fitness-focused names like Nike and PE Nation.
Ivy League
From big and bold logos to contrast colourways, the varsity trend has fast-become a staple one to follow.
Classic sweats take influence from OG American sportswear style for a vintage, collegiate feel. With adidas Originals, Nike, and Supply & Demand on the hype, keep cosy in off-duty hoodies and joggers with varsity branding to elevate your look.
We’re predicting an uptake in bomber jackets with signature letterman detailing and big branding. A classic look that’s an easy layer as the weather heats up, bomber jackets are the perf’ choice for anyone lookin’ to build up their varsity-inspired ‘drobe.
With a nod to nerdy style, it’s time to elevate your after-school essentials with a campus-inspired look.
‘90s-Inspired Edge
‘90s vibes are here to stay!
Big brands are takin’ a look back through the archives to make waves in 2023. The ‘90s and Y2K vibes are moving away from those Legally Blonde and Mean Girls feels. This time around, the trend cycle sees a more edgy, grungy take.
We’re swapping out Sporty Spice-style track pants for durable denim, and our more streamlined sneakers for Dr Martens. Pull on oversized tees and sweatshirts for a laidback vibe.
Classic denim gets updated for 2023 with low-rise waists and boyfriend fits, as well as baggy cargos for a utility-inspired feel. Cop styles from Supply & Demand and Levi’s, as well as trucker jackets for Springtime layering.
Dr Martens have been spotted on the feet of some of our fave celebrities, so channel your inner Bella Hadid, Dua Lipa and Olivia Rodrigo when you lace up. Rooted in punk subculture style, Docs are quickly becoming a staple boot that works all year round, and adds an essential grungy edge to your ‘fits.
When you’re after more of a chilled look, retro runners are all the rage. Seen with the likes of New Balance's 530 silhouette, adidas’ Response CL and PUMA's Teveris Nitro sneakers. Step out in a chunky silhouette for an OG ‘90s and ‘00s feel.
Off-Duty Essentials
Last year was the first proper party season we had in a longgg time. Swap stilettos for slippers in 2023, with laidback footwear stepping onto the scene in a big way!
We’ve seen a huge comeback from UGG, and we’re welcoming this trend with very open arms. Any gal with an Instagram account will have seen UGG’s Tasman mules and Ultra Mini boots plastered all over their feed. Well-known for their fuzzy sheepskin styles, everyone’s been buyin’ up UGGs to keep cosy on off-duty days.
Crocs gained traction on the streets, becoming mega popular with celebs and influencers! If you’re not wearing Crocs, then seriously, WYD?!
Not stoppin’ there, you can cop The North Face’s Tent Mules for an outdoor-ready feel that keeps you comfy every time!
We all know that post-festive January slump, so make sure you’re feelin’ your cosiest when you kick back with stacks of loungewear and laidback kicks.
