ACCORDING TO FASHION EXPERT, Thérèse Hellström

Eye-popping colours and extra details are aplenty…

IT may still feel like a while away, but it’s officially time to start thinking about 2022 and more importantly, what we’re going to be wearing. With throwback trends and pastel hues lining the racks this year, we’re already expecting a major shift in trends over the coming months. Minus our obligatory working-from-home tracksuits, of course. They’re here to stay.

Paris-based Fashion Director and influencer, Thérèse

Hellström, already has over 85,000 eager fashion eyes on her, waiting to see what she dubs to be the trends of Spring/

Summer ’22 – and we’ve managed to get in there first.

It’s time to put away the woolly jumpers and beiges of winter and get ready for a colour infusion that gives normality the comeback it deserves.

What are the key trends for SS22?

It’s still an early stage to define the key trends, but I would say that three trend predictions we should definitely keep in mind are: marked shoulders (the bigger the better!), low-rise trousers (the 90s are calling?!) and another season of mid-riff cut-outs (are you tired of them yet?).

The trend I will mainly be wearing is the marked-shoulder one! I believe that whatever outfit you put on just looks amazing together with a statement blazer and big shoulders.

A colour that I saw everywhere at Fashion Week was orange — from runway right through to street style. For a more sporty look, wear a full orange piece, or if you want to be more discrete, choose orange accessories to accent — for example, a scarf (my favourite!) or shoes.

In general, we have seen more colours on the runway, and buyers are already commenting that they believe there will be more pops of colour for the coming Spring/Summer season. Maybe it’s finally time to take a step away from minimalism as the days of the pandemic slip away… we’re all in need of more optimistic fashion!

A shade dubbed by the fashion crowd as ‘Bottega green’ (inspired by Bottega Venetta’s grassy, jungle-inspired colours) has already ruled 2021 and it looks brights are here to stay. By the rules of colour therapy, orange stimulates us to be sociable, and is a warm, creative, and energising colour. Exactly what we could use some of right now! Say hello to your new daily dose of Vitamin C.
