1. Dopamine Dressing

Or colour blocking, if you will! The idea behind dopamine dressing is that you want to wear colours that will boost your mood. Some of the more popular colours to wear right now are oranges, pinks and greens. Go ahead and experiment with some bright colours this summer because trust me – it will definitely brighten your day!

2. Colorful Leather

As a fan of The Matrix franchise, I love leather so much that I can wear it from head to toe. This timeless material has been trending forever but, in 2022, this staple is going colourful! And here is a tip: it doesn’t have to be an item of clothing. A colourful leather bag or hat works too.

3. Cut-Out Couture

You might be scared to try this trend but I am here to tell you that not all cutouts are created equally! Sleeve cut-outs are great for my edgy fashion girls, whereas – depending on its placement – a waist cut-out can accentuate your figure.! Plus, the weather is hot so feel free to show off some skin!

4. Pleated Plissé

Last but not least we have plissé. This is that pleated material we have been seeing all over runways, in our store and on our social media feeds. From matching sets to formal, low-cut tops to long skirts and more, this fabric is flowy and just *perfect* for warm-weather brunches and hot and sunny holidays. Looking good, sis!
