Crochet sets of the 70s fashion are, arguably, a blowing fashion trend pumped up by Harry Styles and his pop-culture phenomenon “Watermelon Sugar” video.
The clip features Styles and a group of revelers on the beach, eating fruits while clad in an extensive array of brightly colored crochets, vintage-printed swim, and resort wear.

Ever since the launch of the video, the popularity of crochet has continued to rise.
According to the fashion search engine Lyst, searches for crochet clothing rose by 85% since last July, particularly for crochet dresses and crochet sets.
From Lucy Williams to Bettina Looney and Chrissy Rutherford, crochet sets have become the style of choice for beachside holidays and summer staycations.

Hoodies Under Blazers
EDITOR’S NOTE:
“It works wonders with oversized, boxy blazers, but you can also get thinner hoodies to work more tailored blazers, so you can’t mess it up no matter what.”
AS SEEN AT:
Off White, Gucci, Stussy, Noah NYC, Awake NY, Palace
One of the most popular styles rocking the current fashion trends is the ever-so cozy hoodie – however, worn with a twist.
Wearing a blazer with a hoodie is no longer just another street style cut, but a mainstream look that transcends generations.
Wearing a quarantine staple-piece hoodie under a blazer adds an extra stylistic layer to your overall look.
Look for a slim, tapered hoody — preferably a darker, solid hue, without too much embroidery or graphics.
Pair it with a dark, solid blazer. Slacks or denim are up to you — either will work, depending on the occasion.

Women’s Oversized Bomber Jackets
EDITOR’S NOTE:“Match it with high-rise sox and oversized women’s sneakers, like Air Jordans, for a super-casual London look.”

Bomber jackets should always rest loosely on your hip – unless you’ve opted for a slightly cropped style.
The clingy cuffs shouldn’t go past or above your wrists, no matter the fit.
The cuffs should be relatively tight, so if it hangs over your hand loosely, try a smaller size.
The hues, in this case, are almost always neutral, somehow empowering the underneath attire for an effortlessly chic aesthetic.

Cropped Cardigans
EDITOR’S NOTE:
“For an extra cute look, mix your cropped cardigans with lounge-ish sweatpants or a midi skirt.”
AS SEEN AT:
Bethany Williams, Gucci, Faith Connexion, Maison Mihara Yasuhiro, Prada
Very popular also in the 90s fashion, nothing defines the contemporary fashion trends quite like the humble cropped cardigan.
A vintage-inspired trend kicked off by high brands like Alessandra Rich and LoveShackFancy, quickly copied by Zara and Forever 21, and other fast fashion brands.
Regardless, if putting together a cute outfit seems like too much to handle right now, a skinny knit with your favorite jeans – from our best jeans for women – is the perfect answer.
Styles range from basic button-ups to embroidered, embellished, or printed knits, so there’s pretty much something for everyone.
You can wear these shrunken knits with slip skirts and a leather jacket, especially if you need another layer of protection.
Of course, jeans and boots are also great accompaniments for a cropped cardigan.
But however you style it, be that Fairy Grunge or e-Girl, make sure you’ll be comfortable all day long.

Casual Trench
EDITOR’S NOTE:
“If you’re looking for something different, grab a Nanushka faux leather trench and wear it over a floral dress or a ribbed wool turtleneck with matching heels.”
AS SEEN AT:
Burberry, Nanushka, Valentino, Sportmax, Brunello Cucinelli, Dolce & Gabbana, Magda Butrym, Palmer//Harding
Not a fashion season has passed without the trench putting in an appearance, and the most recent fashion shows were no exception.
With a perennially stylish military cut, the super practical trench coat has been a fashion staple since the First World War.
Also, thanks to the Gabardine fabric, the casual trench is perfect for drizzly days.
The coat of choice for iconic women for decades, the casual trench is brought back to life by Meghan Markle’s recent royal visits.
Great with a cashmere roll neck and Prada tractor-tread boots to create that stylish yet military-inspired outerwear look.

Also, boiler suites are very popular amongst extended sizes, offered by some amazing plus-size fashion and petite clothing brands.
Beloved by celebrities such as Giambattista, the Hadid sisters, Rosie Huntington-Whitely, and Irina Shayk, this versatile all-in-one is your swiftest route to utility chic.

The Leather Jacket
EDITOR’S NOTE:
“A winner of the 80s fashion styles, a leader of the 90s fashion trends, the leather jacket is a must-have outfit for smart casual dress code, officewear, streetwear, or even dinner dates. In 2021 we saw a failed attempt at launching the oversized leather jacket trend, coup crashed by high-end designers returning in 2022 to clean-cut bomber leather jackets and classic style biker jackets.”
AS SEEN AT:
Dolce & Gabbana, Ermenegildo Zegna, The Jacket Maker, Diesel, Brunello Cucinelli, Tommy Hilfiger, Michael Kors, Acne Studios, Dunhill, Dsquared2
Not a fashion season passes without a leather jacket for women putting in an appearance, and this year is no exception to the rule.
A perennial of the most popular fashion trends, the leather jacket sports several variations, reiterations, cuts, styles, and trends.
Yet, after a half-decade of cruelty-free and vegan leather jackets – in various colors and styles, from plus size clothing to workwear – in 2022, we see a return to classic, clean-cut bomber and biker leather jacket styles.
