Hello Design Land readers,

We are back with a compilation of trends we will be seeing everywhere in Spring. From sheer fabrics, to feathers and fringe here are the 10 main trends emerging in the next Spring season.

Maxi Hemlines

Hemlines are dropping to the floor next Spring with Maxi (or better yet, floor length) dresses taking the spotlight. Spring 2023 catwalks showered us with a great variety of maxi dresses, from printed satins and chiffons, to jerseys and knits, there really is no limitation when it comes to color, with silhouettes remaining straight and body-hugging.

Low Waisted bottoms

Both low waisted and dropped waists are having a major comeback next Spring, both generously featured on S/S2023 Ready to Wear shows, but fear not! Low waisted bottoms aren’t becoming a wardrobe staple just yet, as we see more early 2000s trends return and make a fleeting appearance on the catwalk. We predict a certain variation of this style to be of central focus next year, adapted for our 2020s.

Corseted Looks

The corset isn’t going anywhere yet. While 2022 has seen a great variety of corseted tops and boned looks, it seems that the cinched waist is here to stay. With a modified silhouette, from the addition to a peplum, to exaggerated shoulder volume, we see an attempt to recreate a simultaneously structured and romantic feminine hourglass shape.

Cowl or the Draped Hood

The hood becomes a seamless element of the ensemble. Ready to Wear Spring 2023 shows have finally embraced the cowl-draped hood that becomes the perfect addition to an elongating chic silhouette. Along with the 80s silhouettes that are making a significant comeback this upcoming Spring, the hood comes in a stylized attachment, yet becomes the garment’s own draped extension. We are especially loving this trend!

Sheer Fabrics

All over sheer dresses and catsuits occupied so much of the Spring 2023 runway, that it’s not easy to avoid seeing this as perhaps the biggest trend this upcoming season. Whether in combination with other fabrics, or layers of varying opacity, we will be seeing sheer garments in a spectrum of applications. This Spring, you can choose to show little to more skin, from a voluminous sheer top, to a layered all-over sheer dress.

Feathers and Fringe

Fringe, feathers, or fringe designed to look like feathers, all are wonderful choices! We are seeing fringe at hemlines, full skirts and even all over fringe items. Fringe and feathers are more than just an embellishment this season around, they serve to modify silhouette, add volume and transform shape.

Bows

Bows as embellishments is one of the more unique trends that walked down the runway. Whether all over, a major focus of the outfit, or an element to tie the look together, bows were silently (or loudly so) everywhere this season’s Spring 2023 shows.

Spots

We are seeing spots. There really aren’t any rules for spots, in Spring 2023 you can choose to wear them any way you like. From oversized spots, polka dots, or localized spotted prints, to all over spotted jumpsuits, there is no way to go wrong.

Mesh

Right along with the sheer catsuits and sheer floor length dresses, the all over mesh moment is likely the most unexpected trend of them all. On the Spring 2023 catwalk we saw a variety of mesh sizes and applications, giving catsuits and maxi dresses a softer, body-hugging quality. If the sheer trend is what you are excited for this season, look out for all over mesh items, especially ones with novelty oversized mesh!

Bling & Shine

Sequins, rhinestones, beaded mesh and other shiny applications will be present this upcoming Spring. If you have an all over sequin dress you’ve been dying to wear, now is your time to shine!
