NYC has been abuzz with editors, influencers and buyers, all eager to see what designers have envisioned for Spring/Summer 2023.
New York buzzed with influencers, celebs and designers who flocked to the city after 18 long months to attend the recently concluded New York Fashion Week. While unveiling key pieces and trends for the new upcoming Spring 2023, this time, designers made sure we had plenty to look forward to, and while we definitely spotted seasonal classics on the runway, we also saw plenty of fresh and chic innovative designs we will be wearing in the upcoming season. Plenty of skin on display on the runways was also seen – though the overall interpretation of sexiness was less on-the-nose than it has been in past seasons.
Sequins were truly ‘80s – see Michael Kors’ Spring 2023 show and its Old Hollywood red and black pieces. PatBo and Carolina Herrera surprised us with 3-D floral embroidery, appliqués, and floral-shaped ruffles, turning this trend interesting once again.
We’ve scouted the New York Fashion Week runway shows to bring you a cheat sheet for the season’s biggest Spring 2023 trends. From bright colours and front cutouts to florals, here are the seven main fashion trends for Spring 2023:
BRIGHT GREEN
Pink shades have been the key fashion colour for the season. However, it seems there is a new colour shade for Spring 2023: bright green. Designers have been creating pieces such as gowns and suits in this amazing colour, proving that neon is a versatile colour.

‘80S GLAMOUR
The ‘80s and retro style are definitely back this season. Designers have lathered models in metallic and frothy tulle, showing off retro style pieces, pencil skirts, power-shouldered disco suits, and plenty of hair and shine as models strutted the runway in crimped curls and lame hot pants.

CARGO PANTS
Casual cargo pants are the must-have for Spring 2023. During this Spring 2023 at New York Fashion Week, we have seen the garment getting a glossy upgrade with floral prints, crushed velvet, and organza. Cargo pants have also been designed in silk panelling or with matching belted corsets.

BLAZERS
Blazers are always going to be a fashion must-have piece. Its versatility and style rock any style. It makes us look formal, but at the same time stylish and glamorous. According to NYFW heavy hitters like Tom Ford, Gabriela Hearst and Khaite, blazers can be worn – whether at a party, formal event or the office. Why not?

SEQUIN
Gilded Glamour and shiny pieces are back! For the season, most designers have presented classic and glamorous silhouettes. We have seen models wearing avant-garde sequin gowns in different colours. Tom Ford has closed its Spring 2023 runway by showing off an incredible aquamarine and bronze sequin gown. At the end of Michael Kors’ Spring 2023 show, Kors presented shimmered in Old Hollywood reds and black pieces.
