Trends are a reaction to the reality that surrounds us. The dresscode forced by domestic isolation and the collective desire to return to "normal" before the pandemic made the ordinary and normal the most desirable.
Wanting to feel more than the slick screen of the phone and the clatter of the keyboard under your fingers, "normcore" evolved into "gorpcore" - a style inspired by outdoor clothing and communing with nature. Functional jackets and practical cargo pants, which previously occupied a place at the bottom of wardrobes in anticipation of a weekend trip to the mountains, today can be found more and more often in the urban space and at the shows of the greatest designers - Loewe, Burberry or Isabel Marant.
Brands that have specialized in technical clothing for decades are blurring the lines between mountain climbing enthusiasts and fashion lovers and trendsetters, establishing fruitful collaborations with the big names of luxury fashion makers. Full of technologies and at the same time eye-catching designs can be found in the dedicated Moncler Genius line, the premieres of which are always widely commented events in the industry, or in the Salomon "Advanced" shoe collection.
Entering adulthood is often associated with adjusting your image to the applicable standards. Grow up, get serious - they said. Kidcore is a throwback to the style we were looking for before someone told us what is trendy and what is not. Juicy colors, fancy prints, flowers and spots, colorful sneakers, men's jewelry with slogans made of beads - everything that causes a smile on your face and nostalgia for a carefree childhood.
Forget about shame - mix, match and experiment. First and foremost, fashion is fun. Don't take everything so seriously. The most famous fashion houses eagerly cooperate with the heroes of cartoons (Balenciaga x The Simpsons) and comics (Iceberg x The Peanuts), with the smiley face of Smiley or simply with artists who do not lack children's imagination (Givenchy x Chito).
The office dresscode softened when we sat in front of the cameras in unique styles, combining an elegant shirt with pajama pants. Following the principle that rules are made to be broken, the new version of elegance pushes its boundaries.
Combine the most obvious into non-obvious combinations. Let classic wardrobe items surprise you with their uniqueness!
The spring / summer season belongs to the colorful Jacquemus jackets and patterned Etro shirts. Bet on creased shorts, elegant flip-flops and sandals from J.W. Anderson, eye-catching jewelry in unlimited quantities and fun shapes of Lanvin cufflinks. This season, men's fashion is eager to borrow elements from women's wardrobe: check out the latest Saint Laurent collection, full of sensual transparency and lace.
This year, we are throwing off unnecessary... sleeves for the summer! There are so many possibilities that everyone will find something for themselves.
Elegant sleeveless shirts were presented on the Saint Laurent catwalk, casual ones by Vetements, and oversized tank tops have been Rick Owens' specialty for years. Warm and quilted vests in spring colors can be found at the pioneers of outdoor fashion - Stone Island and Moncler. Choose timeless jeans in a vintage rock style or military-style tank tops with multiple pockets, such as from the Givenchy and Burberry shows. Experiment with layers!
Formal vests gain a completely new look - opt for Vivienne Westwood's characteristic plaid, decorative cutouts or a Saint Laurent lace finish. Not only for gym regulars - this season we stretch our arms to the sun!
A trend that probably doesn't need to be convinced - thanks to the returning Y2K fashion and nostalgic sighs from the iconic styling of the hottest couple of those years - Justin Timberlake and Britney Spears - low rise jeans are back. From casual stylizations to elegant combinations - denim enters the salons.
Don't miss the latest designs from famous fashion houses that know everything about jeans, like Diesel or Dsquared2. The hit of this season will be total looks, abstract prints and eye-catching logos or monograms - or maybe all at once?
Your wardrobe should include a workwear shirt, baggy pants with wide legs and a cream denim perfect for summer. Versace denim sets inspired by psychedelic travel, oversized Balenciaga designs for streetwear lovers or Dolce & Gabbana jeans with numerous holes and abrasions?
