Straight from the pages of Vogue and the runways of Paris, London, and Milan, the fashion trends of autumn and winter 2022 will soon start making their way into retail collections.
With hints at what is to come in their latest Autumn/Winter preview, online clothing wholesaler, Whispering Smith, has provided their guide to the predicted fashion trends of AW22.
Mesh or Sheer Dresses
Seen across the runways, sheer and mesh dresses are introducing a new touch to eveningwear. Perfect for drinks in the evening or party events, mesh and sheer dresses allow for some added sexiness to an outfit, with a slight hint of skin or visible underwear. Retailers can introduce this latest trend in a wide range of ways, whether that is with a simple black sheer midi dress or something more daring for consumers to try with prints and cutouts.
Preppy ‘back-to-school’ style
Preppy fashion style has always been a fun trend. Making its way back on the scene in autumn 2022, the ‘back-to-school’ style was showcased on fashion runways back in April this year, where we saw an array of white shirts, blazers, tailored trousers, and even the sneaky appearance of ties! Reminiscent of our youth, the preppy school style has had a 70’s esque style makeover, ready to take the fashion world by storm this autumn/winter.
As a retailer now is the perfect time to place your order for wholesale women’s blazers, tailored trousers, pleated skirts, and white shirts in time for the season transition.
Ultra-low waistlines and mini skirts
In line with the return of all the very best 2000s trends, fondly named Y2K, ultra-low waistlines and mini skirts are going to be popular for autumn and winter this year. On the fashion runways of the biggest designer names, we saw a wide range of ultra-low waistlines, perfect for those who are daring enough to showcase more than just their midriff. Combined with denim materials and super mini skirts, or as others are calling them – nano skirts, one of the golden ages of fashion has truly made its comeback in an exciting way.
Biker Chic
Fashion consumers have always loved the rough and ready look a leather biker jacket creates. Perfect for those colder months, the biker chic trend that we see quite often during this time of year is ready for its return once more. Not only are the standard leather jackets, leather skirts, and trousers back, but it’s also fun to see a new take on the biker chic trend this year. Many have taken a liking to the mix between motocross, car racing, and fashion. We’ve seen popular versions of vintage racing jackets plastered with obnoxiously large sponsorships taking the spotlight. While others will be very much embracing the racing silhouette with bold leather jumpsuits. Leather gloves and bags are still very much adored and make for the perfect accessory to an all-leather look this winter.
If you’re looking to add some biker chic to your retail collection this AW22, certainly do not miss out on placing your order for leather biker jackets.
