The new year is the perfect time to inject a refreshing dose of colour into your wardrobe. And if the runways have taught us anything, it’s that this year, the bolder the better. Once part of the dopamine dressing trend, lime green, orange and bubble gum pink make a re-run as the top colour trends for the year ahead, particularly in the form of platform heels, sneakers and party-ready bags and accessories.

2023’s tailoring trend is set to be anything but boring. Relaxed cuts take the limelight in neutral palettes that’ll go with anything and everything. Think shirts with dropped shoulders, wide-legged trousers worn with white trainers and oversized blazers that look just as chic worn over your going-out dress as they do when paired with matching trousers and a tote bag for the office. 

Function meets fashion-forward thinking with the return of utility style. This spring, swap your beloved boots for a chunky loafer or trainer. Cargo-style dressing in the form of pocket-heavy shackets and coats remain handy layering tools during the changing weather. And when it comes to accessories, the bigger the better. Get ready for the return of tote, bucket and shopper bags – ideal for carrying all those essentials between appointments.

Softening the mood, diaphanous fabrics and tactile details represent this year’s important fabric trend. Fringing, tassels, feathers and tulle all lend into liquid silhouettes, making for easy body and movement. A more glamorous take on the traditional boho style, you’ll see fashionable textures come to life in every form: from classic cocktail dresses to your favourite handbags, shoes and accessories. 

The perennial off-duty fabric of choice, the latest denim styles appeared in more than half of the Spring/Summer 2023 catwalks – and it’s clear that our love for denim isn’t set to disappear anytime soon. Get ready to see double denim reclaim its spot in our wardrobes, while our favourite colour and style of jeans are re-worked with embossed logos, studs and bleach designs for 2023. 

A trend which resurges every year, athleisure is one we know well. But for 2023, it gets serious elevation. This take on activewear not only guarantees ultra-modish looks but a comfortably sporty feel too. Thanks to a resurgence of ‘balletcore’ (worn by the likes of Bella Hadid), expect athletic clothing that’s reminiscent of the 90s and early 00s: cashmere, ballet flats and bow accessories, as well as colourful sweaters, sneakers and velvety tracksuits.
