Fashion Trends to Watch in 2023

Fashion is an ever-changing industry, and as we approach 2023, we can expect to see a lot of exciting new trends. From bold prints to innovative fabrics, the upcoming year promises to be full of fashion-forward looks that will keep us on our toes.

 

Here are some of the top fashion trends we can expect to see in 2023:

Bold Prints:

Bold prints are set to make a comeback in 2023. From animal prints to geometric designs, we can expect to see a lot of eye-catching patterns on the runway. These prints will be used on everything from dresses to pants, and will be perfect for adding a pop of color to any outfit.

 

Sustainability:

As the world becomes increasingly concerned about the environment, sustainability is set to become a major trend in the fashion industry. Expect to see more designers using eco-friendly fabrics and ethical manufacturing practices to create their collections. This trend is not only good for the environment but also provides an opportunity to support socially responsible brands.

 

Oversized Silhouettes:

Oversized silhouettes have been popular in recent years, and they are set to continue into 2023. From oversized blazers to baggy trousers, expect to see a lot of loose-fitting garments on the runway. This trend is perfect for those who value comfort and freedom of movement.

 

Experimental Fabrics:

Innovation in fabrics is a trend that is set to take the fashion world by storm in 2023. From sustainable materials to high-tech fabrics that can change color or texture, designers are pushing the boundaries of what is possible in textile design. These experimental fabrics will be used to create one-of-a-kind garments that are both visually stunning and highly functional.

 

Elevated Athleisure:

Athleisure has been a popular trend for several years now, but in 2023 we can expect to see an elevated version of this trend. Think tailored tracksuits, high-end sneakers, and luxe activewear. This trend is perfect for those who want to look fashionable while still feeling comfortable.

 

Neutrals:

While bold prints and experimental fabrics are set to be big in 2023, neutrals are also going to be a major trend. Think beige, taupe, and off-white. These understated shades will be used in everything from suits to dresses, and will provide a timeless, classic look that never goes out of style.

 

Statement Sleeves:

Statement sleeves are set to be a major trend in 2023. From puffed sleeves to bell sleeves, designers are using sleeves as a way to add interest to otherwise simple garments. This trend is perfect for those who want to make a statement without going over-the-top.

Dent May Releases Stream Of 'I'll Be Stoned For Christmas'

American singer-songwriter Dent May has shared a new Christmas song, "I'll Be Stoned For Christmas," just in time for the holiday season. The song was produced by Cole Furlow of Dead Gaze at his house in Oxford, MS and is inspired by partying with old friends on Christmas night after the family festivities have wrapped up.  

About Dent May:
Warm Blanket is the third album from Mississippi songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Dent May. Recorded in solitude in a reportedly haunted Victorian house by the bay in St. Augustine, Florida, the album arrives just barely a year after the release of his previous LP, Do Things.
Dent's most ambitious undertaking yet, Warm Blanket is another kaleidoscopic odyssey through the restless musical mind of a DIY pop auteur. He played almost all of the instruments on the album, making use of the house's antique grand piano and recruiting Florida locals to fill in on horns, strings, and pedal steel guitar.
The result is an album of existential pop, psychedelic funk, and melancholy soul with soaring arrangements ripped from the pages of classic American songwriting. Lyrically, Dent investigates life's timeless mysteries, touching on youth, mortality, alienation, and unrequited love with startling honesty and humor.
delightful mix of organic textures, analog synth squiggles, inventive vocal melodies, and sincere wordplay, Warm Blanket is a bold step forward for an artist who shows no signs of slowing down.

The Top Fashion Trends Of 2014 That We Can Wear Next Year

(The Huffington Post Canada) The end of the year means we all win. First, we can reflect on what we did right over the last 365 days (congratulations), and then, to reward ourselves, we can ransack clearance sections to “invest” in the trends we weren’t sure about earlier.

Fortunately, this list goes hand in hand with that M.O., because let’s face it: it’s not like this year was lacking in fashion trends. Here are ten of the biggest, best, and brightest (in some cases, literally) that you can lay down your hard-earned dollars for 'cause you know they'll still be fine to wear next year.

Crop Tops

Miley started it last year, '90s nostalgia kept it alive, and now 2014 is the year responsible for cementing crop tops as a fashion go-to. And not just for us "Clueless"-obsessed millennials: designers like Jil Sander and Calvin Klein dressed up the trend for the conservative crowd, while Taylor Swift bridged the gap between teen-esque mall-wear and the former. Just remember: the higher the pants, the closer to God. (Or more specifically: the shorter your crop top can be.)

Logo T-Shirts/Sweatshirts

2014 put it plainly: if your sweatshirt doesn’t say anything, then it has absolutely no place anywhere, but especially on you or in your closet. Jeremy Scott set the bar high with his homage to McDonalds for the fall/winter 2014 collections, but literally every other brand followed suit, with even Calvin Klein going old school for its men’s collection. Just remember that chains like Value Village allow for the ultimate logo top investment with minimal monetary risk. (So you’re welcome, and pick us one up while you’re at it.)

Fur

No one here’s going to suggest anybody go out and buy real fur (for a million different reasons), but you can easily find faux versions that interpret fall/winter 2014 looks by Sacai or Prada. In fact, the faker-looking the better: the nineties were rich in kitsch (see: dyed, fuzzy sweaters you wore to YMCA dances and are seeing again at chains like H&M and Forever 21), so if your true teen self would’ve been partial, it’s a slam dunk.

Beanies

And then, every so often, practicality and style go hand-in-hand. Enter: the globalized acceptance of beanies (or toques, duh), brought to new life by the likes of Cara Delevingne, who designed her own line for DKNY. Basically, this year gave all of us permission to wear hats again, which seems like only a novelty for anyone who’s never lived through the polar vortex.

Wide-Legged Trousers

Can you believe they came back? (Of course you can because that’s how fashion works.) Phillip Lim brought his interpretation of the trend to fall/winter 2014 runways, while even Cheap Monday -- skinny jean connoisseurs -- brought their versions to spring/summer 2015 shows. But don’t throw your skinny pants out just yet (because what a waste of money that would be): if anything, 2014’s fashion landscape just allowed for more wiggle-room. Which, in the case of wide-legged trousers, is literal.

Jogging Pants

Let’s get comfy! (And other mottos we can apply to 2014.) Faux athleticism ruled the school, which meant that instead of stiff, uncomfortable anything, we found ourselves in elastic waists and cotton. And who’s complaining? On the high end front, Nike and Pedro Lourenco teamed up for “luxury gym wear,” while at the mall level, American Eagle added sequins to their styles because, bless us everyone, this year didn’t care about your rules.

Wide-Brimmed Hats

It takes a bold person to wear a hat, but Kenneth Cole and Tibi worked hard to convince the masses that each and every human was bold enough. Turns out they were: wide-brimmed, Indiana Jones-esque hats were seen everywhere this summer, evoking the best parts of the 1970s for some, and the look of the Quaker Oats guy for others. (Even though it somehow still worked. Damn him.)

Sneakers

The comfort continued with the acceptance and promotion of sneakers as everyday, go-to footwear thanks to Marc Jacobs taking the slip-on route, and DKNY going high-top happy. And they weren’t the only ones: sneakers found themselves on shelves in some capacity in malls everywhere, all while Converse got to stand back, lean casually against a wall, and say, “See? Told you so.”

Leather

What will automatically help you avoid looking too comfortable while wearing stretchy pants? Leather. (Because we all know this: add leather to any outfit and you will immediately look on-point and/or terrifying. Either is fine.) 2014’s affinity for leather was one for the books, as is its incorporation into pants and skirts. Kenzo’s use of leather grounded bright colours and metallics, while even Karl Lagerfeld issued a pair of blue denim pants earlier this year. Basically: add a leather thing to any outfit, and boom -- you’ve got yourself 2014.

Blanket Scarves/Capes

Scarves as blankets! Blankets as scarves! Here’s the fashion industry’s answer to getting cozy: designers like Burberry helped spring’s cape trend evolve into something winter-appropriate (see: scarves that double as small blankets), while the trend was carried on by store brands like H&M, whose jacquard-weave scarf could probably be made into a fort.

The Olivia Palermo-Approved Jacket You'll Wear Well Into Spring

One of the best aspects of loving fashion is the act of dressing up, but there are some pieces we steer clear from for fear of appearing kitschy or overly costume-y. The band jacket definitely falls into this category, but thanks to style savants like Olivia Palermo, key spring runway collections like Tommy Hilfiger and Gucci, and the overarching '70s trend that's huge for next season, we have a guide on how to pull off the look.

Dress up in your finest; make a style statement

Oscar Wilde once said that ‘looking good and dressing well is a necessity!’ This popular quote not only applies on women, but also on men. If you (read men) dressed well, you are bound to make an impression on onlookers or people around you. On the other hand, if you don’t care of your dressing, then you may face difficulty in making an impression on other people. And since first impression is the last impression, bad attire may create trouble for you.

But, what makes style? You can say style includes many things, but broadly, it refers to the way you dress. Your sense of dressing not only adds a punch to your personality, but it also reveals the way you want to explore yourself to the world. Good ensemble also boosts the confidence level of the wearer and helps in making a positive impression.

No matter, whether you are a student or a working professional or a businessman, good attire can do wonders for you. As a student, you can make a positive impression on the teacher with your good dressing. Even if you are a businessman or a working professional, your dressing will help you in making a positive impression on clients. It is true that all successful businessmen dress well.

Colour combination is very important. For instance, you can wear a white linen shirt with a pair of blue denims and sneakers on any casual day out with friends. You can wear grey or black business suit styled with a white shirt and black or brown formal shoes on any business meeting. A pair of casual clothing is ideal for a romantic date.

Now, the question arises how to style your clothes? Before finalising apparels, you must consider the occasion you are going to attend. Select appropriate attire for the occasion. Style the dress with right accessories and you are sure to mark your presence. Wearing rare accessories help you in standing apart from the crowd. Like if you wear a rare Swiss analogue watch then your watch is bound to receive attention from onlookers. Similarly, if you are wearing cufflinks, a bracelet, a tie pin, a pocket square and other accessories, then you will definitely receive accolades for your good dressing sense. Also, wear a right fragrance and leather accessories to complete your look.

In short, good attire will boost your confidence level and help you in making an impression on onlookers. Wear something that makes a lasting impression on people you met.
