To make it easy, we’ve gathered 10 of the most wearable trends to add to your shopping list, looks straight off the runway that will easily translate into your everyday wardrobe. Happy shopping!
Neo Minimalism
Simplicity is key. Pared-back basics and clean lines were abundant on Spring 2023 runways. To achieve this look, shop for elevated basics in luxe fabrics.
Classic neutrals as well as rich versions of navy, olive and teal are on-trend choices.

Soft Tailoring
We can always expect an adaptation to suit each season. With oversized silhouettes a notable trend in seasons past. Suiting has resurfaced in 2023 with softer, slouchier shapes making these polished pieces a sartorial staple.
Wear all at once, or mix and match separates with a basic white tee.

Acid Green
Add high energy to your wardrobe by adding acid green or any of its variants to your closet.
This zesty take on Key Lime is peppered throughout many Spring and Summer 2023 designer collections. Wear it sparingly or go bold in full-on looks.

Baggy Jeans
In response to our post-lock-down world and the quest for comfort, the trend for longer, loose denim styles is taking over. Gone are the days of skinny jeans.
Wide legs with a high waist or low-slung waist options are equally stylish choices.

High Octane Sequins
Proving that sequins are not just for holiday parties; shimmering sequins were a surprising standout this spring.
Pair sequin-adorned separates with a classic white tank or menswear-inspired shirt for a little “everyday” glamour.

Mad Maxi
Floor skimming lengths in slim silhouettes or full skirts. We see iterations in denim and leather, as well as feminine ballet styles. A look you can wear well into fall.

Distressing/Frays
A trend we are seeing in both denim and knits, these frayed-edge details have a certain nonchalance.
We see cobweb-like crochet with undone edges, as well as classic distressed denim looks or skirts with frayed hemlines.

Statement Shirt
Borrowed from the boys, button-downs never really go out of style. This season, take a cue from the runway with options that have striking details, like voluminous sleeves or dramatic pleating.
Create a classic pairing with tried-and-true denim or a more elevated look with a leather maxi.

Luxe Leather
Often regarded as a fall/winter staple, lightweight leather is making a play for our attention this spring.
Ideal for transitional dressing, it brings an edgy sensibility to spring silhouettes such as skirts, dresses, tank tops as well as jackets. Without a doubt, leather weather is better weather.

Draped Jersey
In true Grecian style but with a little nod to the ’90s, slinky draped jersey dominated the runways for the Spring 2023 collections. It was a season of cowled necklines, strategically placed cutouts and hooded dresses.
Whether you want to channel your inner Grace Jones or the goddess Aphrodite, draped jersey is the ultimate way to spice up your party look.
