Let’s talk spring summer trends 2022 that you already own! Belgium weather hasn’t fully made up its mind whether we’re in winter or spring. Nevertheless, I’m determined to manifest spring weather. Let’s have a look at 10 spring summer trends for 2022 that you already own.
1. The Chain
It was more than clear on the runway, lockdown is over and we are ready to break free from its shackles! Chains and metal hardware details on bags have been seen on the runways of Balmain, Versace & Valentino.
Chances that you own a bag that fits this description are highly likely. The trend has been here for a while and it’s staying with us for spring summer 2022.
2. Paint The Town
This spring summer we’ll be painting the town in every colour of the rainbow. From canary yellow, to absinth green, powerful reds and feminine lilacs, no colour is to bright, no shade to crazy when it comes to bags.
Although, leather goods is usually a category in which people stick to the basics: black, camel, … Having a brightly coloured bag in your collection is a good investment. It’s a great way to let an outfit pop.
Not such a fan of colour? Also glitter and metallics are trending in the bag department for spring summer 2022.
3. Pants dressing
This season we got you covered for the not so sunny days with the dress over pants trend. Spotted on the runways of Jacquemus, Alberta Ferretti and Louis Vuitton the dress over pants look is an easy way to wear that beloved summer dress even on the chilly days.
Important with this trend is to use a dress that either has a zip or buttons on the front that you can play. Opting for a looser fit that you can style with a big belt is also a stylish option.
4. Oh so Very Peri
Awarded pantone colour of 2022, Very peri is a dynamic periwinkle blue with a vibrant violet-red undertone. It is a colour with a courageous aura that encourages personal inventiveness and creativity.
We’ve seen it in various tones on the runway for spring summer 2022. From very bright to a super soft pastel the colour was everywhere. And it has been for a few seasons now. So likely you have a shade over very peri already in your wardrobe. If you don’t, than now is the moment to get it, because very peri is very hot for spring summer 2022.
5. The Power Blazer
We are stepping out of lock down with newly found confidence. And what says confidence more than a power blazer. are coming out this season with confidence.
Whether it is perfectly tailored, casually oversized or bold in colour. Spring summer 2022 continues to love a good tailored blazer. By now, most of us already own a number of blazers. The past few seasons they have been spotted all over the streets in all forms and sizes.
6. Show some skin
What started as subtle and delicate cut outs in fall winter of 2021 has now become bold and daring. For spring summer 2022 designers such as Olivier Rousteing at Balmain really took the cut out trend to a next level.
Dust of those cut out looks from last year and let them shine for another season. Or if you’re really brave take it up notch and show that skin.
7. Give me a Hoop Hoop
Talking about spring summer trends you already own, hoop earrings go as far back as the early 1920! With the discovery of Tutankhamen’s tomb in 1922, gold hoop earrings represented power and high social status. In the sixties they were popularized by the likes of Cher and Diana Ross who were known for wearing notoriously oversized hoop earrings. Although the eighties weren’t very fond of them, the nineties made more than up for that.
Hoop earrings have been going in and out of fashion for a long time. Therefore it’s likely that you already own this spring summer 2022 trend. If you want to add some to your collection have a look at the ones from Edge of Ember, which are sustainable made.
8. City Beach

This year you can bring your favourite bikini from the beach to the city. Paired with an oversized blazer or a brightly coloured cardigan and some jeans this will be your laid back look of the season whether you are at the beach or in the city.
9. Great Heights
High heels have made their come back to the runway for spring summer 2022. Moreover, platforms are back! Oh yes the higher the better, this season we stand tall.
I’m not saying that I don’t appreciate a good sneaker to travel, or on a lazy Sunday. But boy oh boy, am I happy to see all of the heels back on the runway. I seriously cannot wait to take my beautiful babies for a stroll again!
