7 Micro Trends Will Make Big in 2023!

While many trends emerged from last September’s runways, there were some microtrends that were less thorough than the main trends. This slightly less obvious trend is almost like an inside secret. You’ll still see them taken to retailers, celebrity appearances, and influencers, but anticipating this requires more research.

I’ve listed seven major microtrends from the S/S 23 season that are guaranteed to be prevalent this year. Some include statement textures like ruching, fringe, and paillettes, while others focus on accessories like utilitarian bags and cat heel slingbacks. While this trend started on the runways, it’s also available at some of your favorite retailers.

Dramatic Fringe

Several major designers are showing bold and bold fringes for S/S 23, proving it deserves a place in your wardrobe. Jil Sander shows off long, stringy fringes, while Victoria Beckham showcases clutched all over fringes. A fun fringe is the perfect way to dramatize your 2023 ensemble.

Circular Hardware

Hardware usually comes in the form of nails, studs, or grommets, but this time, the accessories are decorated with circular applications. Bags, shoes, and jewelery feature these metallic jewelery accents.

Pillette Sequins

Sequins have always been the go-to way to liven up your wardrobe, but paillette sequins are the overdone version. Disc-like applications are applied to bags, shoes, dresses, tops and skirts. Make this your 2023 dating trend.

Utilitarian Bags

Practical bags are non-negotiable, and 2023 is the year of the utilitarian bag. Extra pockets, neutral tones and reasonable sizes characterize this versatile bag trend.

Sheer Flowy Top

The nude trend definitely includes sheer fabrics, but this season, it’s not all of it sexy. Wavy silhouettes from brands like Valentino and Loewe make this sheer material both romantic and elegant.

Kitten-heel Slingbacks

Ultra-sophisticated slingbacks hit the runways this season from designers like Courrèges, Altuzarra and Bottega Veneta. Here’s your 2023 sensible heel.

Ruching

A big throwback to a lot of the ruching life of the 80’s and 90’s. This modern update uses updated fabrics and new silhouettes while staying true to the gathering techniques that characterize the trend.
