New year, new wardrobe! With 2022 fast approaching, you’ll need to refresh your outfits a little so that you don’t look like you’re still stuck in 2020 when we start heading back to school, work and play.
We’ve rounded up what we think will be the biggest fashion trends of 2022, based on major trends that we’ve spotted on the Spring/Summer 2022 runways, as well as shopping trends that we’ve gleaned from international fashion e-tailer SHEIN.
This December, SHEIN is holding its year-end 12.12 sale where you can expect up to 90% off regular prices - just in time for the new year. Scroll down to read about the upcoming fashion trends, as well as suggestions on how to style them plus an exclusive SHEIN promo code just for you!
Read on for 6 major fashion trends in 2022.
#1 Modern Corsets

The trick to pulling off a corset is to modernise it so that you don’t end up looking like an extra on the set of Bridgerton. Think combat boots, loads of bold accessories, and if you’re trying to look a bit more modest, slip it over a white shirt.
Try these corsets:

#2 Preppy is in

There are so many ways to emulate this back-to-school look. Besides the usual suspects like varsity jackets, plaids, mini skirts and sweater vests, play around with proportions to keep the look interesting.

#3 Saffron-red

A major colour trend that we’re seeing? Saffron-red. This rich hue of red is flattering on most skin tones, and the best part is you really don’t need to be accessorising much because the colour will be doing all the talking.

#4 Anything-but-boring cardigans

This season, the shapeless and plain cardigan gets a more flattering glow-up. Try different fits - from oversized to cropped to off-shoulder - and don’t shy away from colours, patterns and decorative collars either.

#5 Suits + Bras

Bring sexy back to the office by wearing a matching suit… and nothing but a bra underneath. To make this major runway trend more office-appropriate, opt for a solid coloured bra top, high-waisted bottoms and button up the blazer. And if anyone questions, just say “it’s fashion darling, look it up”.

#6 Leisurewear

Thanks to the pandemic, loungewear and athleisure wear are having a moment. The world may be slowly opening up, but it seems like people aren’t ready to give up their comfortable loungewear just yet. Cue the rise of leisurewear, which is basically just relaxed fits that are good enough for a grocery run or a casual coffee catch-up with friends.

There’s a chance that social restrictions might ease and we will have to start returning to the office, so you might as well get a headstart on building your 2022 wardrobe! It doesn’t have to be costly either. At SHEIN, you can find on-trend fashion items at pocket-friendly prices, which is great if you want to try a trend to see if it suits you before committing to more pieces.
