What you should put in your wardrobe in 2022

Are you a stylish Pinay who needs to get into the new fashion combos of 2022? Then this is for you.

According to the fashion spreads online, inspirations will be nostalgic. Culling from the 80’s, 90’s and the early 2000’s, classic looks get an update with the use of different fabrics and cuts. Words like “athleisure,” “eco-fleece,” and updated “mod” will be commonplace to the fashion populace.

Skin and form will still be a necessary element to fit in the 2022 trend but due to the growing understanding of growing markets, diversity and varying forms, there will be something for someone ... definitely. Voluminous silhouettes, platform shoes and even the overlooked colour purple take on mainstream fashion allowing for a little whimsy to the bunch.

So if you’re looking for the statement pieces for 2022, here’s something that you’ll definitely find off the rack … or get inspired to get the look for less.

1. CATSUITS

- celebrating the female form, Saint Laurent and Burberry puts it back on the runway and into their shops releasing numbers for Hailey Bieber and Lizzo … if that statement doesn’t get you into those body-hugging numbers rethink your 2022 wardrobe. Just remember to wear the proper undergarment to make you a fashion plate and not a fashion victim.

2. CHAIN BELT

- so, here comes the 90’s inspo with the opulent shiny chain belts that accentuate those revealed bellies to give a pop of excitement – daring and cheeky. If you have doubts, ask Chanel who’s leading the look.

3. MICRO JACKETS

- to create a tasty counter look to the big jackets of 2021 (which may continue to this year), 2022’s micro jackets accentuate women’s form … women who have put their frustration into working out, eating right and meditating during the pandemic. Think leaner and more tailored silhouettes as shown on the runways of Miu Miu, Jacquemus and Proenza Schouler.
