LIKE it or LEAVE it in 2022
As we embark on this new year, we close the door on many trends and open the door to new styles and ways of expressing ourselves. Here’s my like it or leave it into 2022:
Like it:
Shoes
Mini uggs
If you tried to order these for Christmas this year you were probably unlucky. These shoes are all the rage atm.
New balances
This boyish sneaker is the perfect “balance” for any streetwear outfit.
Cowboy boots
Dress up any outfit with this fun addition and no, you don’t need to like country music to buy a pair ;)
Crocs
If Justin Bieber can make crocs look cool we all can.
Chunky loafers
The influencers’ new favorite. Add some class to an outfit with these adaptable shoes.
Clothes
Low waisted
Contrary to popular opinion I think we need to embrace low-waisted pants this year. It doesn’t work for everyone but if you can pull it off you’re winning.
Corsets
The perfect going out top. Tons of fun styles and colors out everywhere and now.
Grunge
Channel your inner Kurt Cobain and layer with style.
Cashmere
Cashmere is everything right now and will make you feel like you’re cuddling 1000 kittens.
Crochet everything
Crochet is in and hot. Whether it’s hats, shirts, scarves, or dresses, this is a fun way to express yourself in color.
Check out @ishacrochetsstuff some fun designs made by Santa Clara’s Isha Vial!!!
Flared leggings
Take a trip back to middle school and pull out your Lululemon yoga pants because this trend is here to stay.
Accessories
Belly jewelry
Simple belly jewelry can add dimension to any look and make you look really cool.
Bigger bags
Ditch the small bags in 2021 and get excited to actually hold things in your purse.
Tights
Run don’t walk…that’s all.
Opera gloves
You may not feel like Kim Kardashian while wearing these, but you might look like her! Not sure if this will stay, but definitely a fun exploration.
Leave it:
Shoes
Dino shoes
Throw your dino shoes over the fence, they’re out and hopefully never come back.
Golden goose
Why spend $400+ on shoes that are made to look dirty when you can get something practical and stylish.
Futuristic footwear
Sorry Kanye, these need to stay in 2021
Clothes
Y2K
Y2K was fun while it lasted but it’s getting over the top. I’m all for the juicy tracksuit, but your underwear belongs in your pants.
Sweatsuit
We’ve been in Covid for almost 3 years… let’s step it up and lose the all-day PJs.
Subversive basics
Most of you probably don’t even know what this is…let’s keep it that way.
Accessories
Side part
At least try a middle part, everyone else is doing it.
Tiny bags and sunglasses
Bigger and better things are coming in 2022
