WITH throwbacks to the early 2000s, the trends for 2022 will be a bold mix of eye-popping style meets comfort in a way that demands respect and exudes confidence. Loose pants, gender neutral cuts, and bold prints on pants, oversized sweaters and jackets, you are just going to look great in these street style trends. Beanies are back Maybe beanies never left, but they’re out in full force in street style this winter season, even in climates where they might not be necessary — proving they’re not just a decision to keep warm, but an actual style statement (and a way to skip doing your hair). Yellow is also showing up big time in street fashion, in all shades, especially bold golden hues that are likely to stick around throughout the year ahead. Combat boots with miniskirts As a nod to the early 2000s, miniskirts and chunky boots are back, with combat style boots popping up everywhere. Other popular boot choices include UGGs and platform boots. Short cuts are popular on both dresses and skirts, with pleated skirts also making a strong comeback. For those not feeling the skirt vibe, oversized pant suits are a trendy more gender neutral alternative. Bold prints Whether it’s jackets or pants, bold prints are in — especially animal print with bonus points for also being yellow. Other trending prints include florals and colorful artwork, with bright colors everywhere. Graphic T-shirts are also resurfacing as part of the return of early 2000s fashion. Wide leg pants In addition to oversized leg room, cropped cuts are popping up, with the high water look coming into fashion. Denim is also big, with denim shirts and jackets showing up everywhere, sometimes worn with denim pants for a statement look. Hair accessories Visible hair accessories will continue to be a trend for 2022 with a comeback of oversized chunky clips and barrettes. Still have a banana hair clip hidden in the back of one of your drawers? Bring it back out for the new year. Crop tops and plaid Plaid is popping up all over the place, from skirts to blazers to suits. And, those crop tops we’ve been seeing everywhere are likely to stick around — in fact, don’t be surprised to see undergarments as shirts on their own and under blazers, vests, or cardigans, too.
