FUN FASHION IS IN

Maybe, after the past few dark years, girls—and boys—just want to have fun. Fashion Week’s spring 2023 collections offered a sneak peek into the year’s expected trends, and playful pieces are setting the tone. Think puff shoes, polka dots, dip-dyed fabrics, sheer layering and no shortage of feathers and sequins. If you value both fashion and functionality, don’t fret; utility looks (and pockets in general) are also having a moment. As for the color palette forecast? According to the Pantone Color Institute, vibrant, joyful hues are on trend, from Fiery Red to Beetroot Purple to Love Bird, “an exotic green with lively character.”
