The designers showcased their fall-winter 2022-23 catwalk looks at the beginning of this year. With summer ending and fall just around the corner, the new season fashions are now trickling into stores. Now is the best time for all true fashion lovers to get ahead of the game and plan their wardrobes, and begin to invest in the latest and hottest pieces, for it is too late. 

Catwalk shows, trend forecasters, and high-end designers like Aquazzura have had their day, so what can we expect from our favorite designers this fall? Well, the good news is that wearable fashion is on trend, as is color to brighten the darker days. Here are the top trends to get your hands on now.

Dopamine Dressing

The first trend this fall has been dubbed dopamine dressing. It is making the connection between dressing and using color and texture to improve mood. When the weather is dull this fall, dress in bright and vivid colors to add extra pep to your step. 

The hottest colors of the moment are shades of green, blue, yellow, and pink. While it is strictly about hot pink, the other colors are available in all shades, with one to suit everyone. 

This season it is less about color blocking, pairing two intense colors together, and more about a head-to-toe bright outfit. If this is out of your comfort zone and you are not feeling that brave, then bright pops of color in your accessories is a great entry way into this trend. For example, try a pair of bright shoes from aquazzura.com or a bold clutch to add a touch of dopamine dressing to any outfit.

Leather

Leather is big for fall 2022 in the form of biker boots, tailored trousers, jackets, and coats. However, it is not just the moto look that is trending. Leather has experienced an elegant update with longline leather coats and leather belted trenches huge. If you want to invest in a statement piece, leather is a great option. It is a timeless classic that can be worn for years and only improves with age. 

Tailoring

If you prefer classic styles, you will be glad to hear smart tailoring is hot for fall 2022. The oversized blazer styled with jeans or leather trousers has been prominent for many seasons. But now the matching two-piece suit is set to take over. Beautifully tailored trousers with matching blazers or waistcoats lend themselves well to corporate dressing and can be styled for a night on the town.

Maxi Length 

Hemlines are getting longer as maxi dresses and skirts are seen across many designer shows. They are a great piece to invest in early as you can start wearing them now in the transition between summer and fall. Style now with sandals and simple gold jewelry and later with tights, boots, and a knit jumper when the temperatures drop. 

Bomber Jackets

Bomber jackets made an appearance last fall, and it seems they continue to be a key trend this season. The update this time around is the fit, which is more oversized. But don’t worry, if you still have a great bomber jacket in the wardrobe, get it back out.
