RUFFLE SOME FEATHERS: After two years of doom and gloom, your customers are ready to make like a peacock and re-emerge into the world with eye-catching, awe-inspiring, feather-embellished pieces. From feather gowns to feather-trimmed bags and shoes, peacocking is a trend that’s taken the fashion world by storm this summer.

OLD SCHOOL COOL: With a return to the office and the classroom, many designers revisited their school days, and went to the head of the class with uniform-inspired looks. From Miu Miu to Dior and Lacoste, preppy pieces like pleated skirts, sweater vests, rugby shirts, over-the-knee socks and collared button-downs were all the rage on the runways and this trend is definitely on your customers’ wish list. Oversized sunglasses, a Chanel Classic Flap Bag and a silk scarf can effortlessly complete this look.

DESIGNER LOGO BAGS Logomania is here to stay in 2022. With the Y2K craze still ruling the catwalks and sidewalks, customers are searching for statement pieces that display a luxury brand’s logo and feels a bit nostalgic too. Whether you love them or loathe them, monogram bags are timeless classics that hold their resale value. From the Gucci Dionysus to the Louis Vuitton Speedy, and the Fendi x Versace Fendace collection, these branded goods are still worth the investment.

ALL WHITE EVERYTHING: Forget about the LBD, white hot is trending for Summer 2022. Pantone recently proclaimed pure and essential white is one of the trendiest hues of the season with designers sending fancy white dresses, tank tops, tailored blazers and eyelet skirts down the runways in linen, crochet, silk and cotton.

PUFFED TO PERFECTION: While puffer coats aren’t exactly in season, puffed up pieces are in style right now. From puffed shoulder dresses to puffball hems and puffer bags like Saint Laurent’s LouLou Puffer Bag, this niche trend is easy, breezy, beautiful and romantic. We predict you’ll be spotting puffed-up, ruched and tulle pieces by Selkie, Loewe and Celine all over this summer. It’s all very Carrie Bradshaw and we love it.
