This afternoon my good friend Lisa Babineau joined me on the show to talk about upcoming Spring Fashion trends for 2022. Lisa Babineau is the owner of the Consignment Boutique Twice as Nice out in Stony Plain.

 

 

She says the outlook for spring and summer is that there is a time and place to be extra fabulous but still a strong demand and a necessity for easy, simple, luxurious, gorgeous clothes and outfits you can fling on in a hurry.

Bold, brave brights are here to stay as we continue to embrace fantasy fashion and experiment with all colours and unique prints more than ever before. Bright tones have shifted from pink to green as the top invested colour. Green apparel online has grown 28% while orange is up 15% and pink and yellow are both up 5%. These are bright and VIBRANT colours that she is suggesting. Trends to watch include bold neon colours, plenty of greens, and oversized pant suits. (Gotta love a good pant suit!) Even Green high heels are rocking the spring wardrobe. Lisa says be BOLD in the show! Even green flats and tennis shoes are going to make appearances.

You can also incorporate green into other areas of your outfit with accessories like scarves and handbags. Think about knitted style still in your scarfs for Spring 2022.

Pick Spring jackets in bright colours and oversized cuts. Spring is the perfect time to break out those jackets that are too brightly coloured for fall or winter. Oversized looks continue to dominate especially when layered over more form fitting tops.

Lisa says “THINK CLUELESS and The 90’s!!”

Preppy skirt suits paired with crop tops. Plaid is also popular and can be worn with multiple plaid pieces or one statement piece. This look transitions well to spring in light colours like the light to green plaid suit to incorporate that green colour again.

 

Slip dresses will still be everywhere in Spring 2022 and they’re extra sexy with a chunky knitwear sweater or oversized blazer. Get bright and cheery colours like pinks for spring and pair with choker necklaces and saddlebag purses for a refreshed late 90’s and early 2000’s look!

 

Expect to see A LOT of neon colours this spring and summer. Oversized t-shirts and button-ups are also part of the embrace of more gender neutral cuts in 2022! “BORROW YOUR HUBBYS BUTTON UPS GALS!!” Loafers are a must have in Spring 2022.

She also had some tips on cleaning out your closet for Spring:

  • Start pulling the clothes you don’t wear to the front and challenge yourself to wear them
  • Your Hero pieces: The items you’d never consider getting rid of because you reach for them time and time again.
  • Pieces you feel like you need: The pieces you think you should prioritize purchasing next.
  • Colour coordinate and get with the trends!
