NEWS FOR HER# WHAT'S TRENDING... S/S23 FASHION

Fashion for Spring/Summer 2023 is all about polar extremes ladies. On one hand you have the manly, tough utility and cargo wear dominating all the major shows including Versace and Miu Miu and then you have delicate, billowing, sheer fabrics taking centre stage at Christian Dior and Prada among others. Manly v Feminine. Hard v Soft.

Here’s our pick of the top looks that rocked the S/S 23 runways and will be rocking your wardrobes this year.

TOTAL UTALITARIAN

The Net-a-porter site almost crashed when Frankie Shop’s multipocketed cargo trousers landed last year. This trend is set to continue well into 2023 with Fendi (pictured right), Givenchy and Versace all favouring beige, camel and khaki wear with multi-pockets and zips. Handy to

keep anything (and everything!) in if you want to go for a night out, sans handbag ladies. We counted 40 pockets on Marine Serre’s multi-tasking coat but preferred the more subtle approach to the trend from Diesel (pictured left) with just 14 pockets.

SHEER INDULGENCE

The trend for billowing, barely-there sheers on the runway blew us away. Underwear as outerwear is a trend that we will be seeing more of. Maybe it’s a throwback to the tough financial climate – we can get all sexy with our fashion and that makes things easier to handle. Our fashion editor’s favourite picks include Nensi Dojaka’s sheer dress (pictured right) and Ermanno Scervino’s white goddess look pictured below. Gucci also nailed the trend as shown by their trio of models indulging in sheer panelling.
