Spring 2023: Must-Have Styles
A celebration of warmer weather and longer days, the must-know trends of Spring 2023 — from soft, cheerful colours to statement heels and structured, angular bags.
Spring Colours
After the dark monochromes and muted neutrals of winter, the fashion world is eager to embrace colours once again. This year’s spring shades are especially exuberant, with “Digital Lavender” — WGSN’s Colour of the Year for 2023 — leading the pack. Other refreshing but not overwhelming colours that you should be reaching for this season include bubblegum pink, burnt orange, denim blue and spring green.
Platform Heels
With fashion’s current obsession with the 90s and early 00s, platform heels are enjoying their time in the spotlight. Great for boosting both one’s stature and confidence, these larger-than-life shoes are unapologetically bold, and will certainly make a big impression. Keep your look understated with platform heels in black and nude or go all out with a shiny metallic pair.
Clear Heels
Unconventional elements can add a lot of visual interest, and serve to elevate a design from simple to striking. A more sophisticated cousin of jelly sandals, shoes featuring sculptural transparent heels are going to be the footwear to be seen in this season. Paired with classic silhouettes, they are eye-catching while remaining versatile enough for everyday wear. For extra oomph, opt for a pair in bright neon orange.
Boxy Bags
Chic and sleek, this season’s bag shape du jour is the boxy handbag. Featuring a pleasing geometrical symmetry, these bags bring to mind the charm of old-fashioned trunks and hat boxes. Their minimalist designs and clean lines give them a timeless appeal — they will polish up any outfit in an instant. Pair these structured bags with fluid, feminine ensembles to create a stylish contrast.
