ACCESSORIES

Shop the accessories first to make sure you don’t run out of money before you even fasten your new punk belt and count the butterflies in your hair.

HAIR ACCESSORIES

Yes, just like last year, summer 2022 is all about the hair accessories. Pearl and butterfly hair accessories are the most fashionable this season. But there are a few more hair accessories we will be wearing this year. Be sure to go through the extended report on SS22 hair accessories to find out what other hair accessories are in style for summer 2022. But for a start, get this headband and these pearl bobby pins. I bought them too.

MUST HAVE HAIR ACCESSORIES FOR SUMMER 2022

NEW TRENDY BAGS

GLOVES

Partially thanks to Bridgerton, gloves are very fashionable for spring summer 2022. 2022 is the year of fancy tulle gloves and long gloves. I already have a pretty nice collection of long gloves in my wardrobe. Hence I will put my hands on/in these stunning tulle gloves.

TIGHTS AND SOCKS

Fishnet tights, monogram tights and graphic print tights are very fashionable for spring 2022. Also mid-calf socks and cute white socks with ruffle trim that you wear with loafers on a mini skirt or a mini dress.

I just bought myself these cute ruffle socks. Ps. Check the styling trends to see how to style tights with sandals for spring summer 2022. The most stylish combination might shock you.

BELTS AND SCARVES

Skinny scarves and a fashionable belt – this season a punk belt, canvas belt, XXL wide belt, pouch-detail leather belt or a chain belt offer a fun way of elevating your outfit for a casual day. They are the perfect accent, especially when emphasized with matching jewellery. 

JEWELLERY

For summer 2022 shop for pearl jewellery, Y2K jewellery – fun plastic jewellery, resin ring, a diamond watch, gold chain necklace, divided necklaces, a bubblegum ring with embellishments, lace choker necklace, choker, two-tone bracelet set, Hellenistic jewellery – this arm cuff and this bangle are a must have, safety pin jewellery, waist jewellery, silver jewellery, and cocktail jewellery and bracelet sets.

If you wear earrings, shop for XL large earrings and hoops. If you don’t, get this stacked earrings set – it’s a set of ear cuffs. Oh yes, earrings are a must for summer 2022.

Mono earrings, hoop earrings, and shoulder-grazing earrings are still in fashion for 2022, too. By the way, if you want your last year’s favourite shell necklace to look fashionable for 2022, be sure to style it with pearls. I’m sure you can master the layered look with strands, pearls, and shells.

HATS

Spring 2022 brought back baker’s boy hat, a rancher hat, and a hat with a veil.

HATS YOU WILL WEAR ON A GOOD HAIR DAY, TOO

Yes, bucket hats are still in style, too. But they did get an update for summer 2022. Wide-brimmed bucket hats and crochet bucket hats are the most fashionable now.

Indeed, the crochet trend is big for summer hats 2022. Everyone is wearing a crochet hat now – when they are not wearing 1920s swim cap, or a baseball cap, obviously.

Luckily, you can buy into both trends – the crochet and baseball cap with only one purchase – this crochet baseball cap is the only hat you need for summer 2022. I will wear it every time I won’t be wearing this crochet swim hat or this baseball cap – the prettiest baseball cap ever!

MORE HEADWEAR TO ADD TO YOUR CAPSULE WARDROBE

For summer 2022 shop for a wide-brim sun hat. a chin-tied hat, and a headscarf.

Ps. You can wear your new headscarf tied in the back or tied under your chin. Like Grace Kelly would. Only with slim sunglasses.

SUNGLASSES

While XL sunglasses will never go out of style, everyone fashionable is shopping for Y2K sunglasses right now. Rimless sunglasses, sunglasses with plastic frame – I will buy these, sunglasses with bright lenses and thin oval sunglasses are the most popular sunglasses for summer 2022.

SHADES TO INVEST IN 2022 – THE TRENDIEST SUNGLASSES OF THE SEASON

Other sunglasses in fashion for SS22 are cat-eye sunglasses with pointed corners, and sporty sunglasses.

Ps. Check the extended eyewear fashion trend report to find out more about sunglasses in style for 2022. But first, shop for spring-summer capsule wardrobe must haves.

Now that you are all accessorized and up to date with the latest accessory trends – let’s fill your closet with some new season’s clothes and shoes.

TRENDY UNDERWEAR

Well, we might need to shop for fashionable underwear first. Underwired and push-up bras are back in fashion, and there are so many pretty bras to shop for summer 2022.

Browse through the widget below to see what lingerie I bought recently. Ps. I purchased all these low-waist hipster panties to wear with high cut bodysuits.

STYLISH DRESSES FOR SPRING 2022

Get a jump start on spring with the most fashionable dress of the season – cutout sheer-short-tight dress or bet on midi ruched halterneck dress in cool pastel tones, or ruched stretch-jersey mini dress.

DRESSES TO WEAR FROM MARCH TILL JUNE

If it is enduring favourites you are after, then opt for an elegant cutout dress or this chic mini bodycon dress.

THE MOST FASHIONABLE SPRING DRESSES 2022

Revamp your entire mode with an updated cable knit mini dress, cutout ribbed knit dress or try something entirely new – like a drop-waist dress, or even better – the trendiest TikTok dress of the season – midi gathered mesh dress.

Oh, and also the denim dress. Yes, a denim dress is back in style in 2022.

Ps. browse through the widget below to see/shop for the spring dresses I recently bought for myself.

CHIC DRESSES FOR THE PARTY

No closet is really complete without at least one little black dress hanging up in there.

 Ps. If you don’t know what little black dress to buy for spring summer 2022 – check the list of the most fashionable little black dresses. It will help!

SUMMER DRESSES FOR HOT SUMMER DAYS

For an updated summer look, get a mini ruched dress and explore bodycon dresses with slinky straps and keyhole cut-outs. You heard it here first – the silhouette of summer 2022 is going to be fitted and sculpted with cutouts that flatter in an elegant way. And the most fashionable summer dress in 2022 will be mini halter neck dress. 

Ps. If you prefer midi lengths that frame your body, get this sexy cutout crisscross halterneck dress or this crossed halterneck dress.

Also fashionable for summer 2022 are the mini tight dress, gradient dress, ombré dress, bow dress, plunging V-neck dress, sequin dress, one shoulder dress, shirt dress, feather dress and smocked mini dress. Plus, all the dress styles that are in fashion for spring 2022 – only made of thinner materials.

LIGHT SUMMER DRESSES FOR THE CITY

Another summer dress I’m pretty sure you will be happy to wear again is a satin dress. And a tulle dress. Super sheer dresses are very fashionable for summer 2022.

STYLISH SUMMER DRESSES FOR THE BEACH

Good news if you prefer crochet over tulle, a fringed dress is a must-have summer 2022 dress. A fringed dress is on the IT list, too, though. I like this one.

SPRING SUMMER KNITWEAR

It won’t be long until the next big event, where we can finally re-emerge looking our very best. Let us bring some glamour back! Every once in a while, we need a transformative moment and a one-of-a-kind pieces to steal the spotlight.

Lightweight and versatile knitwear is perfect for this period as we shirt towards summer.

Choose between neon turtleneck sweater, checkerboard knitwear, Peter Pan collar sweater, new wave sweater, ribbed-knit drawstring jumper, sweetheart neck ribbed knit sweater, college sweater, flared cuff rib knit top, or oversized check sweater that is my preferred statement sweater as we look forward to the future. Oversized checks will be very fashionable for fall winter 2022/23, too.

LATE SUMMER KNITWEAR TO WEAR ON COLD SUMMER MORNINGS AND CHILLY SUMMER NIGHTS

Stylish short cardigans are perfect for those chilly spring mornings.

Embrace throwback elegance with a collared cardigan or a cardigan with pearls that is perfect for a casual dinner date or a night out, too.

Something knitted is not essential only for spring 2022 but for summer 2022, also.

SUMMER KNITS TO ADD TO YOUR SUMMER CAPSULE WARDROBE IMMEDIATELY

For summer 2022 fill your closet with a cropped cardigan, cardigan set, halterneck knit top, short sleeve sweater, knitted polo shirt, front tie rib cardigan, cropped knit tank top, fuzzy knit crop top, and crochet swimwear.

Surely you can find fashionable knitwear that matches your style. I’m adding these knitted pieces.

CO-ORD SETS

Prepare for the season ahead by snapping up hey pieces that will mix and match seamlessly with what you already own. Double down on a co-ord set that looks great together or styled solo.

I bought myself this chic tweed skirtsuit. And I plan to buy this yellow pantsuit next.

JACKETS AND OUTWEAR

Thinking about how to stay warm as the weather stays cold? Spring layering is all about layering up without sacrificing style.

Try this padded jacket or a diamond-quilted jacket, or fall for the irresistible charm of this season’s most fashionable jacket – oversized bomber jacket.

TRENCH COAT IS A MUST ADD TO YOUR CAPSULE WARDROBE

On the other hand, a trench coat will never lead you astray. A trench coat is a wardrobe staple worthy of investing in.

I have this chic taffeta trench coat. You might want the same taffeta trench coat, too, to keep the look modern.

THE MOST FASHIONABLE SPRING JACKETS

An instant pick-me-up, a beautiful jacket is the one item that really pulls an outfit together. I plan to buy this stunning tweed jacket from Sandro and this trendy cropped leather jacket for more casual spring ensembles.

I already have this denim jacket, but I also need a chic moto jacket (this one, too), a leather jacket with fringes, a color-block zip-up track jacket, and this wind jacket for rainy spring days.

Ps. Get a stylish windbreaker to do away with dull rainy day styles that don’t excite.

BLAZERS THAT SHOULDN’T MISS IN YOUR CAPSULE WARDROBE

As you manage a full day’s schedule, you will need some stylish blazers that are equally hard-working.

I already have an oversized double-breasted blazer; therefore I will only shop for this tweed blazer, this houndstooth blazer and a new boyfriend blazer – all from Sandro Paris.

For summer 2022, I plan to buy this oversized single-breasted blazer, this yellow blazer, and this white blazer – all from Pinko.

Why only from Sandro and Pinko? Because Pinko and Sandro Paris make the most fashionable and quality blazers. Their blazers don’t wrinkle, don’t look outworn the moment you take them out of the box. Plus, they are easy to style all season long.

SUMMER JACKETS TO WEAR OVER A CROP TOP

For not so warm summer nights, I will get cropped fine tweed jacket and a neon leather jacket that goes seamlessly well on my new skirt.

SKIRTS

Summer 2022 brings infinite possibilities for what lies ahead. Get excited for mini lengths and new skirt trends.

Get a mini fitted skirt, a mini skirt with slit cutouts, a mini belted skirt, a mini leather skirt, a mini tweed skirt, waist cutout skirt, wrap skirt, ruched mini skirt, towelling mini skirt, a mini black skirt, mini skirt with feather trim, a crochet mini skirt, and the No.1 most fashionable skirt of the season – low waist mini skirt.

SOME OF THE TRENDY SKIRTS I’VE ALREADY BOUGHT AND FASHIONABLE SKIRTS I STILL HAVE TO BUY FOR SS22

Live life to the fullest with vibrant splashes of colour. Mini orange skirt exudes a fiery passion, while a pink mini knit skirt (I have that one, too) will colour your mood in anticipation of spring.

Worry not; if you are not into the mini lengths, you can shop for a long 90s skirt, a long fringe skirt, or hi-low skirt, instead. The long 90s skirt is the second skirt trend you can follow in summer 2022.

PANTS

If you prefer pants over skirts, shop for low rise pants, low rise straight pants, low rise cargo pants, Y2K low rise cargo pants, wide-leg utility pants, silver pants, patent leather leggings, straight leather pants, wide leg trouser, bermuda, sequin shorts, or tweed hotpants – I just bought these.

JEANS

Jeans are once again the fundamential building blocks of any well curated capsule wardrobe.

Embrace the versatility of denim as you wear it with everything from pretty cardigans and simple shirts to going out tops.

Get a pair of trendy dark navy jeans; you will reach for those on a daily. I sure do.

For summer 2022 shop for low rise straight jeans, light blue jeans, baggy jeans, distressed jeans, embellished jeans, oversized jeans, and white boyfriend jeans. Oh yes, we wear denim in summer, too.

Bring some denim into the summer mix with bermuda jeans, and frayed denim shorts, too. They are both on trend for summer 2022.

SPRING SUMMER TOPS AND BLOUSES

Optimize your spring summer wardrobe by investing in items that will never disappoint. Look for signature silhouettes like white T-shirt, silk slip top and classic fabrications like a silk blouse (buY the way, I recently bought this shell button-down silk shirt and I just purchased this chic bow-tie silk blouse) for tried and tested styles destined to become mainstays you reach for time and time again.

THE MOST STYLISH SPRING TOPS

Keep your spirits high and do away with dullness by opting for high cut bodysuit, fringed top, fitted ruched top, retro printed top, second skin top, new wave print top, or a rugby top.

A BLOUSE IS ESSENTIAL IN ANY CAPSULE CLOSET

We are championing a return to full-on glamour with a standout chiffon blouse, a guipure shirt, a mesh shirt, and a Peter Pan collar shirt. Now it’s not the time to hold back; it’s time to shop for stylish blouses in fashion for spring summer 2022. All in all, this is the party season we have all been waiting for.

SUMMER TOPS TO ADD TO YOUR CAPSULE WARDROBE IMMEDIATELY

Refresh your wardrobe with trendy tops and tees for summer 2022. I will refresh my wardrobe with cropped tops. Cropped white T-shirt, cropped shirt, cropped poplin blouse, cropped polo shirt, cropped polo shirt, cropped tie waist top, cropped hanky hem top are must have tops for summer 2022.

IF YOU NEED 5 T-SHIRTS IN YOUR CAPSULE WARDROBE – BUY THESE T-SHIRTS ONLINE

We are not holding back in 2022 – not even when it comes to a simple white T-shirt. A simple T-shirt is somehow outdated for spring summer 2022.

Ribbed T-shirts, cropped T-shirts, embellished T-shirts, and embroidered-sleeve T-shirts are the trendiest t-shirts this year.

THE MOST FASHIONABLE 2022 SUMMER TOPS

Think ahead to that golden tan when considering your summer wardrobe. A halterneck top, knot-detail sleeveless top, tube top, tie front top, top with drawstring, bralette, top with crossed halter neck, polo top, one shoulder top, cutout corset, corset, bustier top, plunging V-neck top, tie strap top, bra top, open back tank top, cutout top, and a strappy tank top show up bronzed skin in high contrast. We are ready for that imminent getaway. Well, perhaps not. We still need to purchase swimwear.

SWIMWEAR

We are all dying to feel the warmth of the sun and sea. If you are already planning your well-deserved summer break, make sure you don’t forget to take fashionable swimwear with you.

Pack a trendy Tarzan bikini, string bikini, strapping swimsuit, a tube bikini top, a cutout swimsuit, floss tie bikini,  orange swimwear, high-leg cut swimsuit, crochet bikini, scarf tie swimsuit, or a square neckline swimsuit that doubles up as a bodysuit for the city.

If you are reminiscing about halcyon days of vintage glamour, try fashionable cutout gathered recycled halterneck swimsuit, halterneck bikini, halterneck swimsuit, crisscross halterneck bikini, or monokini, this summer.

Or perhaps bikini with waist jewellery, and swimwear with O-ring. You will love those details that add a fashion forward element to a typical beach look.

There is something irresistibly chic about wearing print on the beach, too. Everyone stylish will wear swimwear in cheetah print this summer.

On the other hand, a fashionable plunging V-neck swimsuit with 90s style skirt, a square neckline bikini top with shorts, or swimwear set with matching loose pants is the perfect bridge as we transition from lounging on the sand to lunch in the shade.

CATSUIT

Playsuit? No, we wear a catsuit this season. In fact, the catsuit trend is the only trend you need to follow if you want to be fashionable for summer 2022. All you need is a pair of fashionable shoes to match the catsuit and you are ready to go.

SUMMER SHOES AND SANDALS

Step into spring in the most fashionable shoes of the season. I hope you are not afraid of the heights because 2022 brought back high pointy stilettos and platforms.

Worry not; the platforms and extremely high pointy heels are not the only spring summer 2022 shoe trends trending for spring summer 2022. Nevertheless, once you see all those stunning platforms I bought/will buy for myself, you will immediately forget about other shoe trends.

So, what platforms will I buy for spring summer 2022? These Versace platform pumps – they are first on my list, platform loafers, these woven platform sliders, these platform Mary Janes, and these Aquazzura platform sandals. Ps. I have actually just purchased those stunning platform sandals.

THE MOST FASHIONABLE SANDALS FOR SUMMER 2022

With temperatures rising, we can’t wait to step into sandals. Ankle-tie sandals, flatform sandals, lace-up sandals, gladiator sandals, shearling sandals, ring finger high heel sandals, furry sandals, sandals with a chain, wedge fisherman’s sandals, ankle tie sandals, padded thong sandals, rope wedge sandals, squishy sandals and fuzzy sandals are the most fashionable sandals for summer 2022. These Fendi fuzzy sandals are high on my shopping shoe list, too. They are some of the most wanted summer shoes for 2022.

Flatforms are fashionable again, also. Shop for these platform flip-flops, and these flatform slides – they will be perfect for the poolside.

For the beach, get these padded thong sandals, clogs or puffy slides.

SUMMER SHOES FOR WORK

While sandals are not business formal, you can wear squishy sandals for work, too. Although I bet, you will want to seize the chance and wear your Valentino Garavani Rockstud leather pumps to work this summer. They are back in fashion! Just like second skin ballet flats.

Oh yes, ballet flats are fashionable again. I bought these buckled ballerinas for summer 2022. They go great on my new wide-leg pants. Surely, I will walk around in trendy pointy flats during the heatwave, but having at least one pair of summer-rain shoes is somehow a must.

For early spring rain, invest in trendy silver boots, wedge boots, neon pointy toe boots, thigh-high boots, lace-up military boots, or combat boots. By the way, doc Martens are very popular for spring 2022. I will get these pretty pink combat Dr Martens boots for myself.

I also bought these Valentino combat boots – they are some of the most wanted designer shoes of the season.

SUMMER DESIGNER SHOES TO BUY FOR SUMMER 2022

Other designer shoes worthy of saving for are Mach & Mach pumps, Attico mules, Miu Miu toe-cap heels, and Dior T-strap pumps – I will buy those pumps, too.

SNEAKERS

If you prefer investing in sneakers, shop for low dunk sneakers, high dunk sneakers, a pair of chic white sneakers, and wedge sneakers. And some running sneakers, of course.
