Trend #1: Platform Shoes

One shoe trend with many options to choose from is platforms. These shoes can elevate your height and make it look like your legs go on for days. You can have your pick from sneaker-style platforms – great for an edgy day look – or the high-heeled variety which are perfect for date night.

Trend #2: Oversized Sunglasses

This sunny season is going to be bright so keep your peepers protected while being fashion-forward by investing in a set (or hauling out) the oversized sunglasses. Styles reminiscent of the ‘70s are really having a moment, so make sure yours are large and in charge.

Trend #3: Crochet Sets

We know that matching sets were big business in 2022. And another ‘70s throwback that is going to be *huge* in summer is crochet. Wearing these two trends together as a matching set couldn’t be cuter! These come in their natural beige tone but also in fun shades for a pop of colour.

Trend #4: Extreme Cut-outs

The sun is out and it’s the season to show off some skin. And what better way to do that than with some strategic cut-outs? This trend can be found in clothing items ranging from jeans to body-hugging dresses. Who needs a low-cut top when you could have some hip exposed?

Trend #5: Micro Skirts

No need to cover up when the African sun is shining – this trend is all about having as little fabric as possible. Which is probs why the seasonal staple mini is getting even shorter for summer 2022. Meet the micro skirt, it's fun, teeny-tiny and designed to show off your fabulous legs and shout confidence.

Trend #6: Cargo Pants

Y2K fashion – which comes from the late ‘90s – is also back again. And it brought the iconic cargo pants with it. These rugged utility pants are comfortable to wear, are universally flattering and can be paired with anything from a basic tee to a pleather bralette to make a stylish impact.
