Top 10 Summer 2022 Fashion Trends

1. Pops of Neon

First in this list of Summer 2022 fashion trends are pops of neon. This one comes straight from the red carpet. You probably have been seeing a lot of neon pink in terms of hats, handbags, and even full out dresses. These are great ways to get your neon outfit going. Consider other colors besides pink, and more minimal always to incorporate a pop, even with shoes.

2. Checkers

Second in Summer 2022 fashion is a repeat from Spring 2022 trends. Anything with checkers or racing stripes is very popular. Great ways to incorporate this print into your look are with handbags, chunky statement hair clips, hats, and sections or panels on shackets.

3. Cutouts

Third are cutouts! We are seeing many bodysuits and shirts/tank tops that feature unique cutouts beyond your standard keyhole. Sections are being removed near the shoulders to add fun curves. You can even find plenty of cutouts on dresses, but those are sometimes more revealing.

4. Colored Matching Suits

Fourth are solid colored suit sets. Whenever I talk about suiting, I always fear that leans more toward runway and less toward wearable. Plus, are these not warm in the summer? Well, if you work a job that requires professional attire, you might want to make moves with a bold colored suit co-ord. We are seeing strong pops of color like pink, orange, purple, and so on.

5. Braided Sandals

Fifth, we have to talk about Summer 2022 fashion trends shoes! Braided sandals and slides were very popular about a year ago, and they are back just as strong as ever. Maybe they never even left! Often, the braids are puffy and soft against the skin, making these shoes comfortable. I recommend adding core colors to your collection like black, white, taupe, and brown, because these will match literally any outfit as that special final touch.

6. Tie Fronts

Next are tie front pieces. We are seeing this trend a lot with shirts, especially those that are more cropped and bra-like, where the entire front ties together. For a more modest look, a small tie at the bottom front is also fine. Even some Summer 2022 dress trends feature ties big and small.

7. Open or Tie Backs

Much like tie fronts, we are also seeing a lot of shirts with a tie back. When I say this, I mean completely open backs where the shirt comes together to be tied in a knot or a bow. Otherwise, backless or open back shirts, bodysuits, and dresses are also making a comeback.

8. Smiley Face Print

Have you been noticing smiley faces everywhere? You can find a smiley face plastered on t-shirts, necklaces, rings, and hats. Additionally, you can find smiley faces done as a print or pattern on so many different items. While we live in a time where mental health is perhaps the most important focus, incorporating a smile into your aesthetic can go a long way.

9. Retro Prints

I swear I can hardly enter a store without seeing a top or dress that is done in some sort of retro print! The patterns give 70s, 80s, or 90s vibes, without being too specific. If you are looking to add interest to your style, and maybe wear something unexpected, retro patterns are a great way to do so. Think about how they pair up with other trends in this list, like braided sandals, smiley faces, and tie fronts, to name a few.

The bright bold hue of Kelly green is available in every fashion piece under the sun, while sage has expanded to makeup and nails. Bright oranges, like sunset orange, are also having a moment. Get ready to transition your pale yellow hues into vibrant numbers. Cerulean blue also gives a crisp pop of color. Finally, Summer 2022 fashion colors would not be complete without black and white staples.
