2022 has brought a lot of great looks and fashion trends to the runway and the red carpet. Some of these looks may not make it to next year, but let’s recollect some of the impeccable and showstopping fashion trends that took this year by storm.
Knitwear & Distressed Knitwear
Knitwear and Distressed Knitwear are trendy items in 2022. Comfort is imperative so rather than fitted knitwear, looser sometimes oversized knitwear fits were the approachable trend of the year. Knitwear can incorporate itself into daily unisex fashion with muted-colored vests and sweaters as well as DIY knitted cardigans.
Knitwear is pretty flexible so it could fit in semi-formal fits as well as preppy styles. The distressed knitwear style adds texture to the looks and can be used in grunge and punk styles as well.

Preppy/School Looks
The preppy look is a classic by putting a sprinkle of 2022 style on it, it’s developed even further. The Miu Miu skirt set that was viral earlier this year took the preppy school look and mixed it with a Y2k low-rise mini skirt et voila! A viral sensation.
Preppy/school looks have always been somewhat of a staple but they have evolved over the years. Preppy can be made more elegant or sporty with the simple addition of a crewneck and sports socks or heels and a blazer.

Low-Rise Jeans/Pants/Skirts
Low-rise bottoms are meant to sit below the hips and show off your torso. This Y2k trend came back in 2022. Street fashion was especially taken over by this trend. From low-rise jeans to low-rise cargo pants and skirts. It can be paired with a simple crop tee or a Y2k staple Baby T-shirt which is also a trendy item.
Subversive Fashion
Subversive fashion or subversive basic is an aesthetic that follows cutout, asymmetry, layers, straps, and more. Subversive fashion often stays in muted tones and involves a lot of textures and shapes. It can look cyber-chic and futuristic or dystopian apocalyptic. Overall subversive fashion is rebellious and fun.

Platform Uggs
Platform shoes are so common now that everyone wants a little height boost. Platform sneakers have always been in fashion for the past 3 years and platform crocs boosted its trendiness last year. This year another platform has taken over and it’s the platform Uggs.
In low ankle and Chelsea form, the platform Uggs are one of 2022’s trendy items. It has functionality and comfort in mind and it’s great for a warm fall/winter cozy look.

Leg Warmers
Leg warmers aren’t just to keep your calves warm in the winter but add some texture and a longer silhouette. It was commonly seen in Harajuku fashion and Schoolgirl fashion styles but this year, leg warmers grew to be loved by more people. Many have opted to make DIY leg warmers with unused hoodies and pants. Pair it up with loafers, Mary Janes, or sneakers, and it’s perfect!

Corsetted Dresses
The main purpose of a corsetted dress is to show off an hourglass silhouette. This burlesque fashion trend doesn’t seem to leave the mainstream. The daring and rebellious look of wearing innerwear as outerwear is an entertaining and fashionable idea.
Corsets can be paired in both formal and informal ways, corsetted dresses can be worn on a night out or to an event. Corsetted dresses accentuate beauty, grace, and elegance with their shape.
