Here are some of the important trends for 2022 that will remain relevant for years to come.
Fashion with comfort –
With sustainable fashion gaining more and more traction and people continuing to work from home, the trend of comfort-wear will reign in 2022. Casual and loungewear clothes like oversized tops to pure cotton palazzo pants, kurta to satin pajamas, and dresses in fine quality cotton and exquisite handloom fabric will be a trendsetter (AM to PM fashion) for everyone.
Sustainability in Home Decor –
As the new year begins, it’s time to give your home a classic new look with traditional home decor items. This year will see a lot of home decor items made of natural materials getting popular. Trendy handmade decor items made of natural materials like bamboo and sabai grass will be in demand in the home décor segment. From vibrant table runners to hand-carved natural wood coasters, and decorative lampshades to antique wine bottle holders; it’ll be the year for decorating home with handcrafted products coming from across the country.
Sustainability in accessories –
In 2022 the combination of refreshing classic and bold looks will be the new favorites in fashion trends. We will see a new trend of men and women adorning jewelry made of natural stones, opaque crystals set, and plenty of silver that will elevate the existing wardrobe. Also,
Trending with embroideries –
This is the one trend that’s making a major come back. Embroidery in apparel and fashionable pieces like belts, hats, dresses, shoes will make them even more colorful and unique. Embroidery styles like Kashidakari, Rabari Embroidery, Gara Craft, Aughi designs from Uttar Pradesh, and many others will be trending in 2022.
