Luxury fashion trends
Luxury fashion trends are typically a combination of clothing styles inspired by the designs of prestigious brands. While we have naturally seen fluctuating trends through the years, since the late noughties and early 2010s, there’s been a growing preference for well-made but casual clothes, as seen in Palm Angels’ latest collection. Thus, the classic bourgeois clothing styles are no longer unanimous.
However, while casual minimalism is on the rise, out-and-out drama still has its place too – just look at the recent resurgence of towering platforms thanks to Valentino Garavani and Gucci’s penchant for feather embellishment. Some trends this year rely on more colorful look too, with many designers focusing on bright and deep colors such as candy pink, bright red Mars and Veri Peri purple.

Designers are also using classic clothes such as mini-skirts or micro-skirts for this summer’s clothing trends, with this classic character of some looks combined with rhinestones and sequins to bring more playfulness.
Choosing accessories
A carefully chosen accessory can elevate virtually any look, and determine your individual style. For that perfect summer 2022 style, pick statement pieces that artfully clash.

The handbag
The handbag is a must-have fashion accessory, and not just for their practicality. A perfect chance to add a pop of color or smarten up an otherwise casual look (or vice-versa), handbags have the power to carry (no pun intended) your entire outfit. For an evening look this summer, a classic YSL cross body can do no wrong, or for daytime convenience, go for a timeless Mulberry tote or a Loewe basket bag.
The shoes

Again, while shoes are naturally a vital part of any look, their power to elevate any outfit have made them a striking accessory too. Often considered one of the key indicators of style, no matter your own personal taste, picking the perfect shoe should be a thoughtful process. Opt for Dior’s slanted high top sneakers or Margelia’s replica sneakers to complete your casual attire, or assert your classic sartorial style with a Fratelli Rosseti loafer.
Finishing touches
Finishing touches like belts, jewelry, glasses or caps shouldn’t be ignored when creating a stand-out look. A casual pair of jeans and white t-shirt, for example, can be instantly transformed with a few flashes of jewelry, like the Christian Dior metal bracelet and a Givenchy belt.
Also, to dress classy this summer, opt for a card holder or leather clutches made by Bottega Veneta or Tom Ford. Similarly, luxury brands like Alexander McQueen and Palm Angels offer stylish sunglasses and caps to protect yourself from the summer sun.
