The introduction of new technologies in fashion has led to a variety of trends that are altering the way we look at and experience fashion. With technology constantly advancing, it is no surprise that there will be changes on every front during this season’s spring-summer clothing line up.
First, 3D printing – often associated with luxury brands such as Chanel and Louis Vuitton – allows designers to create unique garments using computer software rather than traditional manufacturing methods. This makes for even more personalized clothes due to individualized designs created from digital files instead of actual physical fabric samples. In addition, consumers can order custom prints directly from these labels online, thus further increasing their flexibility in purchasing products. Additionally, low rise pants have become popular among many denim options, but now they also come equipped with stretch mesh or spandex padding inside so you can wear them without feeling constricted while still maintaining your shapely legs. These styles are especially suitable for those who want to flaunt some form of leggy beauty.

Another trend worth mentioning is asymmetrical silhouettes. While straight lines dominate runway shows all over the world, skirts and dresses feature layers of ruffles and pleats that add extra texture and depth to simple shapes. Whether opting for an oversized crop top paired with cropped skinny jeans or pairing a maxi dress teamed with high waisted shorts, playing around with textures and patterns ensures maximum impact.

Second, womenswear designer Karla Grant used printmaking techniques on her Spring/Summer 2022 collections to showcase different types of femininity. She combined florals and geometric solids into one collection, creating gauzy gowns with intricate tulle overlaying each section. Her next offering was equally bold, combining slogan T-shirts emblazoned with sexy images alongside printed petticoat tops and chunky knitwear worn under sheer fabrics. It seems like men may finally catch onto Print Edition (if only because she once said “I wouldn’t put my work out unless people wanted me to.”) which means smaller sizes and ways to swap between pieces are here to stay. For example, simply swapping off any tanktop sleeveless fitted by your regular black button down would allow for hours of comfortable wearing when heading out clubbing.
Lastly, make sure to keep close eye on shoes too. A recent survey revealed that 27% of 18- to 24-year-old respondents considered themselves ‘shoe snobs’ according to social media influencers. However, sneakers haven’t entirely lost popularity since Nike introduced its Air Zoom Shoe last year. Since then, everyone loves seeing someone pair white canvas Jordan 1s together with retro Converse Chuck Taylor All Star v4 classics. Soft sole upper sock hoppers made famous through Instagram star Amiya Hillowicz get attention again, but now they’re getting smarter about adding additional elements such as bubble gum insoles and crystal embellishments to maintain interest levels. Of course, none of this should mean ditching heels completely. Stepping away from sharp pointed stilettos for something less immediately aggressive might not go amiss either.
In terms of accessories, there has been a shift towards more wearable watches – whether they be connected devices like smartwatches or standalone timepieces – which can complement your look without taking up excessive space. Some innovative styles even feature detachable straps so you can easily swap out different bands at will, adding versatility to already trendy looks. Another key accessory category worth noting is footwear. While booties remain staples for winter wear, spring/summer shoes now come equipped with mesh inserts into their soles to help keep feet comfortable all year round. Other options include platform sandals and platforms inspired by high heels, providing extra height but still allowing room for daily walks.
