If you’re too poor to go to New York Fashion Week, welcome to Paris! Now you’re too poor, underdressed and your palette isn’t developed enough for fancy wines and cheeses — good luck, and welcome to Paris Fashion Week (PWF 2022).
Behold the excellence of arts, design and fashion from one of the “Big Four” fashion capitals of the 21st century … brought to you by a girl who thinks she knows fashion.
Overview
PWF 2022 mesmerized the fashion world as we saw the most extraordinary clothing. Revitalized classics like 2-piece suits to elegant gowns took a new breath of life as we saw them transform into redesigned styles and outfits. The classics are here to stay, and we can influence the way it turns and sways.
A common trend of PWF 2022 was classic fashion. This includes neutral tones and timeless staple pieces, all combined with new accessories and additions that challenge our previous visions of the past fashion weeks.
Timeless Classics
Down the runway and on the street, we also saw a revival of classic pieces and styles. Neutral color palettes and capsule pieces.
Want to begin a classic wardrobe of your own? Start a capsule wardrobe! Find staple items that mix and match well together in a wardrobe, such as tops, bottoms and shoes. Add pizzazz to your outfits with accessories. Also, accessories are easier to interchange between outfits and play with through the trends, meanwhile, your outfits stay effortlessly stylish throughout the seasons.
Reinventing the Wheel
I suppose that’s what makes the classics so classic. You can do anything to them! How many times have we seen a white button-up shirt or a tailored black ensemble? What makes them different from the last 100 pieces I’ve seen prance the runway? Because they are reimagined! By playing with classic styles, we are introduced to new ways of fashion and art, while still maintaining the nature and beauty of timeless looks.
Take the simple and make it yours by dressing up in basic outfits. Play with layers and silhouettes. Piece together gaudy accessories with poised fashion. Own your outfit. Even if it has been done countless times. Don’t forget, you’re the one wearing it!
My Review
Paris Fashion Week is a reminder of why the classics have remained in the eye of the fashion world for so long. They are the perfect canvases, ready to be dressed up and down to your hearts’ content. Personal style shines through with eclectic combinations of vintage thrifts, bizarre accessories and micro styles from the depths of internet subculture.
So often we see classic fashion as stiff and unyielding. Most people are unwilling to change for the modern world and kept for the likes of grandmas and high society. But classic fashion is classic for this exact reason. It is timeless, beautiful and ready to be torn to shreds.
