Utility outfits
More than ever, utility pieces are expected to be in prime focus in 2023, think cargo pants (that we loved!) with several pockets. The trend is now also expanding to jackets and skirts with trendy and strategically placed pockets and fabrics that are much different from the Y2K ones.

Denim overdose
Katy Perry
Good news for denim lovers because our most fave fabric is going nowhere. In fact, it is getting bigger and better with the denim-on-denim look going massive. The runaways had innumerable head-to-toe looks in denim and we are not complaining!
Reimagine denims in the form of boots, purses and cooler outfits.
Sheer
Dua Lipa
A trend that has been lurking around for a long time is going to take the centre stage in column dresses, skirts, shirts and even pants and we cannot wait for the hotness to go up! If previously we stuck to mostly sheer in black, this time we have seen on runaways sheer in shades like nude, pink and tangerine.
Corset craze
Deepika Padukone
Well-fitted Victorian-era corset that was one of the hottest trends in 2022 is expected to be in favour in 2023 too. The options now however are more varied in terms of cuts and what it is paired with. You can team it with blazer, over a top, with skirts and also tees. Think out of the box!
High shine
Beyonce
Shine and metallics are numero uno as far as fashion trends go at the moment and in 2023, it is expected to rule the fashion charts big time, particularly metallic silver. Brands like Michael Kors, Gucci and Valentino have infused high-shine in their latest collections for you to indulge in.
All leather
Kim Kardashian
The Spring 2023 runaways have been filled with heavy-duty leather everything! Think leather overdose jackets, pants, skirts, shoes, bustiers — it’s going to be leather weather all year round!
Power suits
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Who doesn’t love a good trouser suit? It’s time to invest in boxy, oversized suits that are bossy and make you look smart. The trend has already been seen on celebs and runaways. If you find the whole look too much, you can just opt for a well-tailored oversized blazer in a fun colour.
Flower power
Priyanka Chopra
Bold, beautiful and colourful, florals will rule big in 2023. London Fashion Week was loaded with big blooms via brands like Paul & Joe and Richard Quinn. Unlike the usual dainty flower motif, the focus is on being feminine but packing a punch.
Chunky accessories
Bhumi Pednekar
Goodbye trinkets, hello big and statementy accessories! This includes big bags, neckpieces, bangles and everything else! It’s the year to go all out and make your accessory turn heads.
Exposed innerwear
Rihanna
What’s fashion forecast without some risque fashion trends? Innerwear as outerwear, a trend that said hello in 2022, will gather steam. One can handle the tricky trend by a peekaboo of lacy lingerie under an oversized tee or shirt but if you are in the mood, the combo of lace or sheer with innerwear is going to be fiery!
