Whatsoever, here are key fashion trends for winter 2022.

THE KEY WINTER FASHION TRENDS FOR WINTER 2022

From what we have seen on the runways in New York, London, Milan and Paris, these are the key fashion trends for winter 2022.

1 SUSTAINABLE FASHION

The most important winter 2022 fashion trend, the key fashion trend for 2022 is sustainability.

The fashion industry is trying to minimize its impact on the environment and no longer be the biggest polluter. Hence 2022 will be a year of changes to cleaner, sustainable fashion.

Recycling, borrowing, even stealing from your mom’s closet is the latest trend.

Obviously, we will still shop for new clothes this winter. But we will make smarter purchasing decisions, shop smarter, invest in quality pieces that won’t fall apart the second time we put them on.

Moreover, we will buy clothes made of more sustainable materials like faux fur and vegan leather and recycled fabrics, such as recycled denim, recycled nylon, recycled jersey, and recycled cotton.

By the way, if you don’t know how to follow the biggest winter 2022 fashion trend, how to be more sustainable in fashion – check carmitive on Instagram. My friend Carmen is a sustainability enthusiast who can help you be more sustainable in 2022, and the following seasons.

2 DIY FASHION

Following the most important winter 2022 fashion trend, DIY fashion is in style in winter 2022, too.

I guess everyone will be knitting this season again. Luckily, many fashion houses support this fashion trend.

Loewe, Ganni, Dior, and Alexander McQueen are some of the fashion brands that share tutorials and set challenges to inspire the fashion crowd to sketch and embroider at home.

Still, DIY fashion is not the fashion trend I would be able to follow blindly. Even though I’m excellent at sketching and designing, I just can’t knit or sew.

But I will follow the next key winter 2022 fashion trend blindly!
