If there’s one way to get a read on what we’ll actually be wearing next season, it’s by examining the street style trends of the previous fashion month. Yes, what comes down the runways is always important, but often, it’s what happens outside the shows that carries even more influence, especially in our day-to-day wardrobes. There’s just something about seeing real people styling trends for real life (okay, fashion week) that makes them seem much easier to re-create.
The street style set—whether it’s editors, influencers, buyers or celebrities—have, for a while now, been masters of both following and setting trends. And although some looks can still be a little out there (any of the Loewe S/S 23 collection is a case in point), the majority are elevated takes on everyday outfits. So they’re our first go-to for clever styling tricks, unexpected combinations or hero pieces that ignite the trends we end up wearing for many years to come.
So what was worth taking note of outside the spring/summer 2023 shows? As the fashion crowd was still getting used to the return of the full schedule, showgoers seemed to either embrace a more casual tone or go all out. Knitted dresses, leather staples and oversized jumpers paired with loose trousers were at the more relaxed end of the scale, while bold suits, miniskirts and colour-pop bags were at the other. Our favourite spot, though? Probably the clever layering of tonal shades that you can bet we’ll be replicating as soon as the risk of muddy puddles subsides. Don’t even mention snow.
So keep scrolling to see and shop the best street style trends of 2023, and make next year your most stylish yet.
