Hands up who among us has stood in front of our wardrobes at the end of the year and disappointingly declared that we “have nothing to wear”? After 12 months of getting dressed for work, for socialising, to keep warm, to keep cool, and more often than not, to look good, the usual failsafes we wear on rotation can start to feel a little same-y. As the New Year looms and we look back on the year that was, we often feel compelled to start afresh, and of all the New Year’s resolutions we promise to make (and likely drop by March), a wardrobe refresh ranks high on our list. But if you are looking for new inspiration for the season ahead, where do you begin?
Long before our editors have compiled reports and rounded up the best pieces to shop, fashion buyers are the behind-the-scenes experts who decide which brands are actually worth buying into, playing an instrumental role in championing new trends and in turn shaping people’s wardrobes across the world.
In a bid to find out which trends are worth investing in for the upcoming months, we reached out to six fashion buyers who know good dressing and asked for their tips on the years biggest trends and which pieces are on their wish lists to help inspire yours too. So keep scrolling for the 10 trends from the spring summer 2023 collections that you’ll be seeing a lot more of in the next 12 months.
