Trending Now: 9 Must-Have Seasonal Updates

We’re calling it: 2023 will be the year of the denim maxi skirt, with designers including Khaite and Christopher Esber creating crisp, floor-skimming styles that conjure Y2K fashion references in the best way possible. Esber dips a toe in the trend with his ‘Walnut’ jersey skirt, trimmed with a raw-cut denim waistband, while Khaite creative director Catherine Holstein has gone all in on the ’00s nostalgia with her fluted, light-wash denim design. For a 2023 spin, add mid-heeled ankle boots and an oversized cashmere knit.

Collegiate-inspired varsity jackets have been a street-style mainstay for several seasons now. Their popularity lies in their chic sportif vibe and seamless blend of statement colors. These styles by Acne Studios and Sporty & Rich are the ones to add to your basket now – ideal for layering over low-cut, wide-leg jeans and crew-neck T-shirts to channel early ’90s cool.

On cold and dreary days, turn to kaleidoscopic knitwear to boost your mood. Alanui’s ‘Over The Horizon’ sweater is, according to the brand, a reminder to “keep looking forward, because you never know what’s out there” – an aesthetically pleasing prompt to seize the day, even if it is sub-zero outside. Likewise, Stella McCartney’s ‘Tree of Life’ sweater is inspired by rewilding and reconnecting with nature, and will galvanize you to go for a stroll, even when wellies and a warm coat are in order.

Believe the hype about High Sport. Created by Alissa Zachary (an alumna of The Row and Khaite), the name truly says it all: this is an elegant high-fashion brand with a sporty, easy-to-wear sensibility – ideal for busy women who want to look chic in a second. Add low-maintenance, high-impact styles such as this strapless red mini dress and pale-yellow raglan-sleeve sweater – both NET-A-PORTER exclusives – to your closet, and you’ll never look back.

With the mid-’90s and early ’00s heavily influencing the runways right now, it’s no surprise that subtly flared pants are back en vogue. For off-duty days, Courrèges’ black ribbed-knit style are the perfect choice; simply pair them with an oversized sweater and retro sneakers. For the office or a dinner date, Joseph’s dark green style have a polished feel that will complement loose blouses, sweater vests and sleek blazers.

Adding rainbows of color to your home, or just some simple splashes, can transform your living space. La DoubleJ’s bright ‘Baby Egg’ vases are perfect for dotting around your living room, or can be grouped together as a vibrant centerpiece for your dining table. In another brilliant meeting of creative minds, Sister by Studio Ashby has teamed up with Completedworks to create a finely formed ceramic vase, offset by a dainty peach-colored paper flower. Give it pride of place on your mantlepiece for guests to marvel at.

Wearing one solo but stunning earring makes for a striking look. The trick is to mix a pretty drop earring with smaller studs or huggies. Foundrae’s ‘Gemstone Heart’ hoop earring, made with green prasiolite, is a romantic choice, perfect for special occasions, while Anita Ko’s 18-karat-gold and diamond style is sure to become one you never want to take off.

With the hotly anticipated release of Greta Gerwig’s Barbie slated for this summer, the Barbiecore trend has been infiltrating everything from our closets to our interior color schemes. Embrace this saccharine shade in a subtle way with a powder-pink handbag that will complement soft-toned neutrals. Gucci and Altuzarra have equally covetable options.

Unexpected throw-back trends cause a big stir in fashion circles, and the return of the wedge heel is something we’re sure to start seeing a lot of. Unlike quaint summer wedges with plaited soles, 2023’s wedges come sleekly sculpted from sensual patent leather and boldly colored acrylic, lending them a seductive, evening air. Our top picks? Gianvito Rossi’s ‘Futura’ sandals and The Attico’s ‘Cheope’ style are both great excuses to go dancing.
