Trends forecast the development of innovative new materials and technologies to propel the circular model of resale in 2022 with upcycling, using plant-based techniques and homegrown garments made from recycled materials.
The year 2022 will see more of an amalgamation of western silhouettes and handloom. Unlike fads that wither away with time, Indian handlooms are evergreen.
Pantsuits are what comes to mind when you think of tailored looks, and they happen to be hot-ticket items for 2022 as well. Indian pantsuits are one to keep an eye out for.
Fashion’s future is about not compartmentalising clothes according to gender. With global stars like Harry Styles, men and women are now pooling pieces from each other’s wardrobes, while sparking conversations around conscious consumption.
Jewellery, in 2022, is focussed on maximal, pop-coloured additions; dainty chokers and a pair of classical hoop earrings. Simple daily wear pieces that work for both day and night events will enjoy mainstay attention.
Spotlight-stealing attire with a joyous mood courtesy of vivid colours and prints and bold silhouettes is going to be in this season. Not just clothing, eye-popping hues will make their way in the footwear segment too.
This year will all be about opting for relaxed fabrics defined by sustainability over structured garments. In the current world of the never-ending pandemic, it goes without saying that comfort and functional clothing has become an essential part of our wardrobe.
It will all be about crossbody bags, mini bags and most importantly uber-cool puffer bags. Shades of powder blue, blush pink, and mint will take the centre stage.
