Sheer Elegance: Transparent Fabrics and Cutouts

Designers seem to think that enough time has passed for you to move past any tie-dye burnout and have introduced a more elegant version of the trend for 2023 with dip-dye. Dip-dye encompasses the same multi-tone color story as tie-dye without all the neon swirls. The subdued ombré coloring gives garments a one-of-kind appearance and naturally showed up on Ulla Johnson’s boho runway and on Peter Do’s. Though dip-dye may seem like a more casual trend, designers like Altuzarra upgraded the look to formal wear with dip-dyed gowns.

A shirtdress can easily swallow you up and make it look like you’re wearing the wrong size or an oversize style if you’re petite. Try a gathered or wrap dress instead to ensure your look is falling just right. Known initially for its experimental jewelry, it’s now a globally recognized unisex fashion brand. In this collaboration, they further their exploration of web3 technologies and digital fashion. As the Korean Wave continues to impact much of the world, luxury brands will maintain their geographical pivot to Asia acknowledging that what was once seen as a trend has now shifted to becoming a movement.

BTS’s Suga Admits He Can’t Rock This Cool Fashion Trend Like J-Hope

Designers like Blumarine have taken a more literal approach to mermaidcore with multiple iterations of a seashell bra top incorporated into the spring/summer ’23 collection. Bottega Veneta made an aquamarine skirt that could take you from the office to the ocean. Emily McCullar is a senior editor covering pop culture, news, and Texas history.

Puffer-jacket weather is a distant memory, but that hasn’t stopped summer’s cutest accessories from swelling up. From Polly Pocket shoes at Loewe to inflatable bows at Moschino, this season’s details are simply more fun when they look like they’ve been stung by a bee. From asymmetrical necklines to oversized sleeves, here are the best red carpet trends of 2023 so far. While gold has been the color of choice for the fashion crowd over the last few years, Gen Z is turning the tide and embracing cooler, rocker-chic color palettes—including going back to silver.

Why Luxury Fashion’s Fascination With Korean Pop Culture Is Not Just a Trend

If there’s anything I can admit about myself, it’s that I’m easily influenced. I’ve dabbled in Djerf’s sustainable, ethical clothing line, Djerf Avenue, as well as her overall chic Scandi aesthetic. Not only is it incredibly timeless, but it’s flattering—being insusceptible to trend cycles and devoid of feeling dull and old come next year. Breezy button-downs, tailored pants, and well-constructed blazers are now my go-tos. When it comes to trends, there is one question that reigns supreme—would you wear it? With mermaidcore, rosettes and shades of lavender dominating summer trends, you can see your favorite celebrities rock a trend before you decide if you want to yourself.

Since it’s long-sleeved, you’ll be able to wear it well into the fall too. Kicky daredevils in red lipstick and shiny satin tops rode bucking broncos and dangled upside-down from their saddles, wowing a crowd still unaccustomed to women in pants. But ghastly injuries and the return of men from the war brought a shift by midcentury to rodeo queens and beauty pageants.

As South Koreans are currently the world’s biggest spenders on luxury goods, it comes as no surprise that brands want to capitalize on consumers in this market. Haute couture is often seen as out of reach and difficult to wear unless you’re on the red carpet. Trompe l’oeil is perhaps the easiest way to transform your wardrobe into couture without having to pay for a custom designer piece. Whether it’s with a sheer or over-the-top piece, playing with the optical illusion of an item can make it easy to invoke the same feeling of the runway in your wardrobe. Although these optical illusions aren’t fooling anyone any time soon, some appear strikingly realistic.

In the past couple of years, luxury brands have made it a point to stage major fashion spectacles in South Korea due to the rising affluence, as well as cultural influence, in the market. Recently, LV and Gucci followed in the footstep of Chanel‘s Resort 2016 and Dior‘s FW22, becoming part of a growing list of luxury brands to show in South Korea. With Chanel Resort 2016, the late Karl Lagerfeld was one of the first to recognize the nation’s distinctive elements, even referencing Korean tonsorial traditions to keep the hair concealed under big hats.

Tip #5: Try corsets and structured shaping instead of boxy tops

Feather trims, feather gloves, feathers paired with sequins — we’ve been loving it all. Dig out that feather boa you bought for Harry Styles’ Love On Tour if you want to go the extra mile. Gothic frills, lace-up detailing, corset tops, and bows are all you need to achieve peak Wednesday Addams energy.

Not every optical illusion is meant to make a joke or statement via fashion. You will also see these tricks used to showcase inspiring pieces of art. We’ve seen examples from the sheer top trend that take a mesh clothing piece and turn it into a real work of art. Although you are just wearing a sheer top, the actual fashion moment is the pattern or artwork painted on top. Using fabrics such as mesh or tulle makes it easy to create the illusion of another work of art on top and is the simplest way to introduce trompe l’oeil to your wardrobe.

The social event of the season is here, and we all know what that means – blockbuster premieres, controversial screenings, and some seriously showstopping red carpet looks. We’re sharing the seven hottest red carpet trends – and what they mean for your summer wardrobe – here. One way to spot a rising trend is to look at the aesthetics of recent movies and TV shows, like the all-black gothic vibes of Jenna Ortega’s statement collars and Mary Janes for Wednesday Addams.

When it comes to Cannes fashion, romance and whimsy are in the air at this slightly more relaxed event (as compared to the Oscars or the Met Gala). This is at least partially attributable to the fact that the event comes in the summer, instead of the heart of winter, when most of us are still in our hibernating hidey-holes from which we haven’t emerged in days (weeks). It’s a time for play and experimentation, and can set the tone for summer fashion while we see which trends A-listers are gravitating toward as the weather heats up. And they take their assignment seriously, because although their on-screen talent is unmatched, they know we’ll be watching their red carpet performance just as raptly – and they generally rise to the occasion. If you visit Manhattan’s Lower East Side neighborhood right now, you’ll see a strong presence of the city school aesthetic.
