Spring 2022 trends from NYFW

  • Ulla Johnson NYFW SS22 photo: IMAXTREE

The last model has walked off the runway in New York, and the last video has been released. This means we have a whole new set of fabulous trends to covet for the upcoming spring/summer 2022 season. Love!

There are several trends from last year which appear to be continuing into 2022. We are looking at the continuation of the Power Suit, vivid colors, all-white ensembles, exaggerated shoulders, shoulder pads, and wide leg pants.

As we head into 2022, look for more tailoring on clothing in general. Loungewear is taking a backseat, as is urban street-wear. We are looking at getting dressed again. Think skirts, dresses, and powerful pants. Handbags are medium to small, and will hold only the necessities.

The decades of influence include the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s. Think late1900s. There will be grown-up florals, groundbreaking right? haha, and solid, all-one-hue ensembles. Orange, baby blue and pink appear to be the favorite hues of New York designers for spring/summer 2022. The orange power suit will be huge, HUGE!!!

We are also looking forward to daytime sequins, one-shoulder looks, blazers over anything, and much more structure than we have seen in recent seasons; even with wider leg pants. Get ready to dress up!

So, if you are looking at what to keep, store, donate, or sell from your closet, keep and store anything structured, or in brighter hues. Keep blazers, one-shoulder looks, and sequins. Donate extra loungewear, you only need some, not a closet full! Same with sweatpants, only keep what you need for the gym or wearing around the house. Next spring, casual days will include jeans with blazers and casual dresses. Sweatpants and flip-flops can stay home. That being said, look for comfort sandals and street sneakers paired with dresses and dress pants in spring 2022. Your feet can stay happy.

Thanks for stopping by!

BAF Weekly IT List

fall trends

BAF Weekly IT List from top left: beige tee (under $50) / Chanel fall nail polish / Dior fall nail polish / chocolate brown chain pouch / chunk knit cardigan sweater / lug sole boots (waterproof!) / grey satchel / sneakers (under $100) /

We are all gearing up for fall! This is the perfect time to stock up on basics for the upcoming fall season. Look for everyday tee’s, sweaters, shoes, and bags. Adding a bit of fall to our nails is also an easy way to move into the fall season while summer temperatures are still soaring.

I am loving the fall nail colors this year. Aren’t they fabulous? You can go for an iridescent metallic, or vivid neutral hue. Street sneakers are also a fabulous trend; and comfortable too! Also loving that the lug sole is still an important part of shoe fashion this season. These lug sole boots are waterproof too. Love!

Of course, it’s important to have at least one IT bag! You can go for a fun one, such as this chain pouch, or a practical yet fabulous everyday bag, such as this slouchy grey satchel. Or, you can go for both! Why not?

What are you excited about for fall?
