Spring/Summer Trends to Look Out For This Year

Netting Has Caught Our Attention

Some trends come and go, others stick for a lifetime. One of the biggest catches of this season appears to be net clothing, which comes after the crochet boom of 2021. No longer will you find netting relegated to the likes of fishermen’s boats, treetop adventure playground or Scooby-Doo mysteries – instead, expect to see it hit the streets of urban cities very soon (or at least when the weather finally warms up).

Net was a recurring theme on the SS22 runway, taking shape in dresses, skirts, vests and even bags. Showcased in small and large knot patterns, spanning all the colours of the rainbow, and encrusted with gems and beads, netting has shown its diversity as a layering staple for the upcoming summer. Want proof? Just look at SS22 presentation from Stella McCartney, Chanel and Supriya Lele, which took net-wear to a whole new level of classy chic.
