Every year, fashion is often guided by trends, and that’s how most of us love to dress up. from picking the trendiest colours to styling ourselves using silhouettes that made it to celebrity wardrobes, trends weave the style mood for both designer runways and our wardrobes. And as we step into 2023, here are some fashion predictions, that we think will transform into reality this coming year! So, to help you remain ahead of time, and shop your favourites of the year, here are some of our style predictions for 2023.
Mermaidcore
Well the ‘core’ in the language of trends, has decided to stick to mermaid this year. As seen in the second half of 2022, mermaid hues made a cameo in almost every celebrity look, be it accessories or a party dress. A delightful trend in the category of resort wear, the trend is a mix of dewy shades, topped up with a pinch of purple, shimmer, and will headline eye looks, bikini sets, and handbags this year. From aquamarine to see-shell jewellery, and fish-tail cuts, Mermaidcore will help every ‘it girl’ dress up.
Sporty Chic
Fashion this year is inviting sports enthusiasts to make a delightful trend of 2023. A version of street style, sporty chic will inspire your wardrobe with quirky athleisure, jersey tees appropriate to party in, and baseball hats. Through this trend, comfort, and practical clothing will enter the chat. Finally wearing your sneakers, and oversized bomber jackets will help you weave a stylish look.
Flashing Under And Side Boob
Say goodbye to plunging necklines, and welcome a gamut of infinity, and underboob cuts this year. With the arrival of 2023, designers are curating their fashion mood boards with chiselled crop tops, inverted halter cuts, tiny hems, and a little flash of thy underboob using cholis in the category of Indian ethnic-wear. You may take style cues from Bella Hadid, BLACKPINK’s Jennie or Deepika Padukone, and Kiara’s infinity blouse to dress this year.
Hood It Up
Move over hoods in a winter-friendly hoodie, and welcome the reign of hooded gowns, and dresses. Hoods this year will not only save you from the cold breeze, but will curate some of the biggest red carpet trends through dreamy silhouettes, and haute couture. As already sported by our favourite Deepika Padukone, and Margot Robbie, keep ’em heads covered with this new goddess-trend of 2023.
What Colours To Wear
2023 will enjoy the hangover of 2022’s overdose of pink, through a range of hues in the colour. From Barbie pink, hot to subtle chic, pink will remain popular this year as well. Besides that, Pantone’s colour of 2023 will push you to sport something in Viva Magenta this year. In this category–Rust Married, a colour predicted by Pinterest will remain a favourite amongst wedding guests, and brides in 2023.
Rom-ComCore
Welcome the romance of a good old 2000s film with Rom-Comcore this year. This trend will be guided by some of our favourite go-to movies/shows like–How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, The Devil Wears Prada, Legally Blonde and more will help you channel the main character energy this year. Fashion’s favourite darlings on the big screen, will inspire wardrobes, and be your inspiration for the year 2023. To be a lover of this trend, one can make sure to build a stack of colour block slip, vintage/thrifted dresses, Carrie Bradshaw-tulles and more.
Body Jewellery
The biggest accessory trend of the year will help you dress thy body. As sported by Priyanka Chopra, Radhika Madan, and Malaika Arora, pieces like the underbust gems, and body chains will overrule shirts. Interesting jewellery designs will collaborate with peephole crop tops, and plunging necklines for an embellished look. In this category, label–Misho’s famous body piece will push you to skip your ethnic blouses for it and style a saree in a contemporary manner.
Welcome To The Future
In the era of the metaverse, technology will drive designers towards innovation. With this, get ready to welcome futuristic fabric, couture, cuts and monumental silhouettes. Besides a heavy overdose of metallics, conical bustiers, tech face masks, and avant-garde, NFT projects will be more well-received than ever. An example of its presence in India is designer Shubhika’s label–Papa Don’t Preach, with a brand-new collection for the metaverse.
Mindful Purchases This Year
The year 2023 will inspire you to re-style your good-old closets. Much like Ananya Panday raiding her mom’s old wardrobe, and celebrities embracing vintage fashion this year, sustainability will walk an extra mile, with a sincere approach towards fashion. Designers will also make sure to put up a show with conscious clothing, and follow the reduce, reuse and recycle chain.
