Sustainable Fashion
Sustainable fashion refers to clothing that is produced in an environmentally friendly way. This includes using eco-friendly materials like organic cotton and recycled polyester, as well as designing garments that are made to last longer rather than being discarded after one season.

Athleisure wear combines athletic wear with leisurewear for a comfortable yet stylish look. This trend has taken over both on- and off-duty wardrobes worldwide.
Case study: Adidas' collaboration with Yohji Yamamoto introduced us to Y-3 – a fusion of sportswear style with high-fashion sensibilities.
Utility Chic
Utility chic involves incorporating functional elements like pockets, buckles, zippers, and straps into your wardrobe for added practicality without compromising on style.
Case study: Dior's Spring/Summer 2022 collection showcased utility-inspired designs such as cargo pants featuring multiple pockets adorned by oversized buttons.
Neon Colors
Neon colors have returned once again in full force! From neon pink sneakers by Nike x Off-White to neon yellow dresses at Gucci's SS22 show – it seems everyone wants a piece of this vibrant trend!
5.Tailored Suits for Women
Tailored suits are not just limited anymore; women have embraced them too! With bold patterns like stripes or polka dots adding flair alongside classic black trousers or skirts – these looks are perfect for work-life balance while making statements everywhere they go!
