Like many, I adore summer - from the amazing weather to traveling with camera in hand and collecting new seasonal clothing and accessories, I always look forward to my favorite season where I feel and look my best. This also includes September Fashion Week, where many fashion shows are finally unveiled including Haute-Couture collections that luxury brands show off, especially now within historical venues around the world.
But as soon as the seasons begin to change I can’t help but feel a nostalgic feeling creeping in - one that’s all too familiar. Once September begins, I’m instantly reminded of the changes that are about to take place and because of this I embrace the ending of the year while preparing myself for both fall and winter. This includes my excitement for fall fashion, my already prized vintage knit sweaters, oversize coats and leather jackets and black boots out and ready. It always feels so good to be wearing leather again.
Here are some predictions for what the top products will be as considered as best sellers for the Fall/Winter 2022:
Clothing: Oversized trousers, mostly beige, tan, or white color, worn with or without belts. This includes low rise trousers as well.

There has been a sudden rise of white tanks and people are looovvvinggg it. I know I speak for many when I say I’m excited for this trend and see where it goes. Oversized blazers, brown leather and the iconic bomber jackets are also resurfacing and coming in hot.

Another big trend to discuss are pink and red color blocking. The more bright pink clothing and accessory statement pieces, the better! Ever since Valentino’s Haute Couture show this past July, pink colors and palettes have taken a sudden surge within fashion and digital media. Valentino after all, is the number one brand that knows best how to work with the color red. So it’s safe to say that these two particular colors are remaining for maybe some time, especially when resurfaced as bold pieces. This includes the new formed dopamine dressing (bright and bold outfits) which includes suits, tailored jackets and pants.
We also gotta talk about leather cargo pants and sparkly knit tops and sweaters. Strapless tops have also become an instant success. 80’s biker styling has proudly resurfaced and could be here to stay. This is a fantastic new trend that mixes perfectly with the dopamine, oversized blazers and jackets which could take over the entire 2023 year, even well into spring/summer. As the bleak, gloomy days of the pandemic and government crisis slowly begin to faze out (hopefully forever this time), fashion enthusiasts are turning to brightly colored and militaristic modern-day wear that anyone can use on an every-day basis.

In terms of accessories: Cat-eye silver/gold/metallic tone sunglasses, even in the shape of 50mm sunglasses has taken over by storm. These are fantastic pieces that anyone should absolutely invest in.
Vintage maxi ski sunglasses as well as 40mm irregular shields have rightfully made their mark. Mask sunglasses have slowly been taking over recently, but many predict even by the winter this trend will be a big one to consider when shopping for new eyewear pieces.

Rimless and dixie translucent iconic golden era shades is also a must and of course, acetate sunglasses - one can’t ignore the power of these. Bold and strong sunglasses can always make or break an outfit, no matter the season.
