Is It Summer '22? Or The 80's, 90's, 00's? - The Smart Minimalist

Is It Summer '22? Or The 80's, 90's, 00's?

What goes round, comes around. 

By now, you probably know that fashion is cyclical. For summer 2022, elements of the 80’s, 90’s and early '00's are cool again.

The elements of these fashion decades that are cute again can be for everyone because they are a little more toned down and can done with pops of colour. As Vogue pointed out in March 2022, Kate Middleton was wearing a lot of '80s looks recently. This included polka-dot dresses, puffed sleeves and chunky 80’s style jewelry. Think- a casual Princess Diana.

Grunge fashion is making a comeback! 

The take away from grunge-aesthetic? Outfits that have an effortless vibe to them. The 2022 spin on this look is the effortless baggy vibe in all neutral colours. Think mini bag, loose fitting pants and oversize jackets and blazers.

Chokers and thick gold chains are current trends that millennials already know and love.

We have all seen that “Gen Z’s” has revived the fanny pack, but instead of wearing them around the waist, most people now wear them across their chest. You can get in on the trend while remaining sustainable and practical with our apple leather hip bag.

Double up the trend factor by getting your “ fanny pack “ in pink! Hot pink has been everywhere this year, but hot pink might be a little too much, right? The chic middle ground is this hip bag in a muted pink.
