In 2022, fashion will be hedonistic, whimsical and will show a lot of skin

2022 invites hedonism, caprice, showing skin everywhere, hence the return of transparencies, miniskirts, corsets, the necklines or the shine, fun and opulent trends that are balanced with artisanal and bucolic designs that embrace the rural lifestyle.

The intention of fashion this new year is to provide a dose of beauty, joy and fun, but also seduction making use of the game of showing and not showing. Just showing skin, insinuating and enhancing the sexy.

And so, the body is exposed again, an aesthetic whim that comes with the rebellion of low-waisted pants, the mischief of the tiny miniskirts, the impudence of crop tops, the provocation of the garments dropped waist or the subtlety of transparencies, openings and necklines.

The 60s are the inspiration

In the sixties, years of optimism, freedom and social unrest, the miniskirt brought an air of modernity and freedom, the woman felt the need to free herself from ties, an idea that this new year returns with the intention of enjoying to the fullest and making up for lost time.

Velvet, lamé and sequins, “shine, shine and shine”, advances Álvaro Castejón and Arnaud Maillard, creative directors of the firm Alvarno, who propose by 2022 “a emotional, respectful and meaningful sewing”.

“Recycle and customize. Destroy to build again”, is the new philosophy of this creative tandem that is in the vein of “breaking the codes and mixing a lot”.

And in this line of mixing, combinations emerge such as trousers and dress at the same time, an opulent equation that invites you to give a new opportunity to dresses with a more festive and nocturnal air in broad daylight to go to the office.

The passion for the conquest of space is also recovered from the 60s and through wide silhouettes, cape-dresses, military suits, galactic graphics, rich metallic embroideries and strident colours, now Louis Vuitton, with garments of sporty air, but sophisticated, winks at that space race with which the innovation of André Courrèges and Paco Rabanne is remembered.

Other firms such as Miu Miu propose more daring models such as very low-waisted micro skirts that could easily pass for dropped belts, a garment that combines with short sweaters almost below the chest and loafers with socks, a bold mix between sexy girl and good girl.

Givenchy, Burberry or Dolce & Gabbana is committed to bringing out the corset, which becomes the star item of the season, very much in line with the idea of ​​showing skin and sensuality, especially in neutral tones, although black is on the rise.

Butterflies in the spotlight

The aesthetic of the 2000s is also going to hit hard, so butterfly tops, wide leg pants along with the “preppy” style with its mythical cashmere turtlenecks, loafers, short-sleeved polo shirts, sneakers with high socks, white linen dresses or cotton sweatshirts with university shields will be a must.

The “boho-hippie” also has a place and the denim garments with “patchwork” will attract attention, which will walk alongside minimal designs such as jackets, dresses or pants, garments without dressings or extreme cuts , made with quality fabrics, which watch over the environment and invite comfort and a quiet life.

Jeans, which go well with (or almost) everything, will continue to be a basic to which the printed dress is added. No matter the plan that is planned, any model combined with boots, ankle boots, trainers or espadrilles will fit, they are perfect wild cards that only require playing with the odd accessory.
