We’re turning over a new leaf, setting goals and leaving bad habits in 2022. After that comes the long awaited ditching of dopamine dressing and reliance on fast fashion. Neutrals are back. It’s time to build a capsule wardrobe - clothes that will survive fast paced trends that swallow up this generation. Looks including 90’s streetwear, off duty supermodel looks, Rachel

Green in Friends or David Beckham off the field, are making a clear cut comeback.

Biker Core

There’s a reason vintage Harley Davidson jackets are selling for hundreds on Depop and why you see rip off faux biker jackets in Zara. Leather is back by popular demand – and this time it’s biker core.

Out-of-office Office Wear

Who would’ve thought wearing loafers outside of the office or school would be cool? Well get used to it. A trend you need to get on board with is a good, comfortable pair of loafers. Minimalist. Leather. Loafers. Let’s get back to the basics this year.

As one season closes it can be tempting to by a whole new wardrobe, but with so many second-hand options you can easily find these trends anywhere. Let’s remember to choose sustainable and pre-loved pieces for our Spring/Summer closet.
