While the 2021 season was all about hot pink, logomania, color blocking, and the “hot goth” trend, the 2022 season is all about sexiness, and we couldn’t be more excited to update our work-from-home clothes. As the lockdown limitations gradually ease and the future begins to look a little better, last year’s need for complete escapism has given way to an all-out celebration, and 2022 is all about dressing appropriately.

There’s no need to read between the lines while making a statement because there’s a straightforward formula.
As fashion becomes more two-toned and graphic, the larger, bolder, and more in-your-face, the better. Stripes adorn skirts, suits, and shirts in place of the Breton.
