Written by Carrefour Langelier | March 16, 2023
The warm weather is not yet upon us and already the season’s top trends are making their way into the boutiques and very soon into our wardrobes. With just a few weeks to go before the season’s must-have colors and cuts take possession of our hearts, we present you with everything you need to know about the hottest trends to be at the top of fashion this season! Get inspired and dare to adapt these looks to your own style.
Key colors of the season
The color magenta
While magenta has been named Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2023, it’s not the only color to steal the show this season. While there is a range of mauves and lilacs, deep, saturated blues are taking a place on the catwalk this spring. We’re wearing this color from its lightest shade to its most pigmented, from head to toe or just on an accessory as an accent.
Gold
Gold shades are also a big hit this spring, especially with glitter or a high gloss finish. We especially love it on a fabric that mimics liquid gold for the most chic look. Perfect for the elegant outings to come!
The orange and its shade
The orange and its shades reminiscent of a sunset will not go unnoticed either. We wear them without moderation, from head to toe, like a flamboyant gradient that rivals the most beautiful sunsets!
This season's hottest styles
Cargo Pants
The 2000’s are at it again this season, this time with a real obsession for cargo pants. Inspired by streetwear and military aesthetics, this fashion essential is worn this season in oversized and low-rise versions. Pair them with a slim-fitting top to revive the cult look of the 2000s!
Transparency
Transparency is bold this season, and it’s making its way onto every fashion piece! If sheer fabrics have been popular for a few seasons, they completely steal the show this spring. We dare it with tulle, mesh or fishnet, worn alone or combined with other pieces to combine different materials and textures.
The total black
Not often associated with spring, black dominates as king and master this season. We adopt it in transparent version, of course, but also with pieces with bold cuts and shapes. The gothic style is reinvented this season in a slightly softer version, with the presence of knits, crochet or lace that gives it a touch of romance and femininity. So, dare to go all black and let the Wednesday Addams in you express herself!
Denim reinvented
This spring, denim is worn from head to toe, with bold pieces adorned with details, shapes and cuts. Nothing like our good old classic jeans! Studded pieces, accessories and layering are welcome. The top of the trend: dare to wear a maxi denim skirt, in raw denim or even washed and torn for a successful grunge look.
The biker look
The biker trend continues unabated and is making its mark this season in a more brazen and daring silhouette. The leather jacket is of course the centerpiece of this look and brings some spice to any wiser outfit. We wear it with everything, even a party dress and pumps for a surprising and so trendy look.
On the accessories and makeup side
To accompany all these fabulous looks we’ll be seeing this spring, a few beauty trends and accessories stand out. On the hair front, long hair is in style and is worn in a low ponytail or a sleek bun with a few highlights. Brightly colored lipsticks will be on all mouths, matched with a pencil line on or under the eyelid, visible and slightly imperfect. As for accessories, silver jewelry, bob hats and long gloves will be seen absolutely everywhere this season!
