My rule of thumb as a fashion editor is, if I see something out in the wild—i.e., not on a runway or in a fashion publication—three or more times, it’s a trend. Or at least it’s a micro trend that’s primed and ready to become a full-fledge moment in the weeks and months to come. Late spring has always been a peak time for new trends to appear as we get ready to shed our well-worn puffer coats and array of boots for lighter, warm-weather pieces, like sundresses and sandals. And while there are definitely pieces from 2022 I’ll happily break out again this year (looking at you, loose-fit denim and cut-out dresses), there are plenty of new trends I’m itching to incorporate into my summer outfit rotation.
