Fall’s gone but winter has entered in its place. And winter has brought with it new trends. Let’s check them out.
The fall season saw some remarkable fashion trends but the winter trends more than make up for the fall season ending. The Fall/Winter 2022 runways dropped the major looks for the winter season and since winter is here, it is now the time to decode them. The Fall/Winter 2022 runways made it crystal clear that fashion is timeless. Quite a few looks were a return of some old trends as well as a reinvention of classic staples.

Pieces from the 80s and 90s made an appearance, we even had some appearing straight from the 2000s. Designers added their own flair to the classics while simultaneously pushing the boundaries of fashion. Here we pick out 4 of the year’s most wearable fashion trends and how to style them so you can spend your winters in style – and comfort! Read on.
1. DOUBLING DOWN WITH THE DOUBLE-BREASTED COATS
The double-breasted tailoring trend has been around for quite a while now. But with the Autumn/Winter 2022 shows, it reached a peak as perfectly proportioned as itself. No matter what the season is, this is one trend that just keeps coming back, just like it has this season as well. The style is here in many forms – jackets, long and short coats, and blazers, but it has also been revamped this time. The classic style has been combined with a prominent hourglass silhouette that adds a little feminine touch to this men’s staple. The double-breasted tailoring is pretty easy to style and very versatile as well.
