Fashion week runways may have us thinking about what we'll be wearing in six months, but it's the street style happening right outside the shows that helps us understand the trends emerging in real time — i.e. the ones that will have an immediate impact on our wardrobes.
Maybe it's because Spring 2022 was the first, big IRL New York Fashion Week since the pandemic began, but this season, the looks we spotted on show goers gave off a strong back-to-school energy, with the callbacks to uniforms, the strong penchant for loafers and very scholastic-feeling accessories.
As far as trends go, this one isn't very trendy, in the sense that it's not transient: The collegiate aesthetic has been around for a long time and primarily consists of true staples — pieces that will live in your wardrobe for a long time. Still, it comes and goes from the zeitgeist. We can see touches of it reflected in Spring 2022 runways, like at Sandy Liang; and there are a handful of emerging brands, like Recreational Habits, dedicated exclusively to modernizing that preppy look.
See — and shop — the the back-to-school fashion trends that are set to take over your fall wardrobe, below.
Collegiate knitsThick cable knits and sweater vests never go out of style — what we are seeing this autumn are the ways designers continue to innovate and iterate these collegiate staples, with new silhouettes and cuts (as seen in new collections from Monse and Rosie Assoulin), color palettes (deeper navies, bolder burgundies and more) and even patterns (anything from gingham to rainbow stripes).
