e’ve come a long way from Coco Chanel’s guidance on accessories, “take off the last thing you put on,” which falls into the generally good advice category of “less is more.”
But for the next season in fashion, as the pandemic continues to wane, designers are letting us know it’s OK to subscribe to the idea that “more is more.” You want to make an ensemble out of all your boldest garments, along with those wild shoes you haven’t been able to wear outside since you bought them online? Do it. Spring-summer 2022 is the time to show off. THIBAULT CAMUS ASSOCIATED PRESS
ABOVE: Almost every runway show in fall featured sleeve lengths with enough fabric to cover models’ hands, including Valentino. The Italian design house achieves the hidden-hand look beautifully with a mix of textiles to elevate a cuffed white button-down into a new classic. RIGHT: French design house Lanvin was among those who showed plus-size looks in their ready-to-wear collections during fall fashion week events. Women with curves look great in body-contouring garments, and the ruched draping in this piece is universally flattering. Dramatic, saturated colors are also highly on trend for spring-summer 2022.
ABOVE: Strong shoulders should be achieved by expert tailoring, not padding. Saint Laurent’s ready-to-wear collection shows how it’s done without going full-on pagoda shoulders, made popular earlier this year by a certain Disney villainess designer. Those with small chests get a more flattering silhouette, and plus-size arms look smaller with that extra pop of shape at the top.
