Sequins
To say sequins and sparkles will be a big deal next summer is an understatement. In
every fashion capital, glitter prevailed, starting with Tom Ford and Marc Jacobs right through to
Gucci (pictured here), Dior and Chanel. Style yours with a sweatshirt to give them daytime
longevity.
Pastels
Whether lilac, pink, lemon or duck egg blue, expect to see an array of fashion’s
prettiest shades next season. But as Victoria Beckham (pictured) said “delicacy can be strong”;
saccharine these colours are not – consider tailoring in ice cream hues or wearing them in
unexpected ways like at Celine.
Checks
It looks as if heritage checks are going nowhere for the season ahead. Balenciaga’s
came via voluminous coats as seen here, while Victoria Beckham’s had a more traditional appeal.
Anyone looking for floaty feminine styles should turn to Sonia Rykiel where they were bright and
summer-ready. Burberry’s homage was perhaps the most overt – expect to see its check caps
everywhere next season.
Plastic
Perfect for British summers, waterproof plastics were a predominant look for
spring/summer 2022. As seen at Chanel (pictured), Isabel, Marant, Burberry, Topshop, Calvin Klein
and Fendi, plastic in varying shades will be everywhere in 12 months time.
