Azteque's Forecast For Women's Trends In Spring / Summer 2023

Spring 2023 has started, and it’s time for women to start thinking about their wardrobe for the upcoming season. This year, there are several exciting trends that are sure to make a statement. From vibrant colours to retro-inspired pieces, here are some of the latest trends for women in spring 2023:

BOLD COLOURS | RETRO INSPIRATIONS | OVERSIZED | STATEMENT SLEEVES | SUSTAINABLE FASHION

1. Bold Colors

Spring 2023 is all about bold and vibrant colors. Expect to see bright shades of pink, yellow, and green, as well as bold prints and patterns. Bold colors are perfect for adding a pop of color to any outfit and are an excellent way to make a statement. If your not brave enough to wear all over bold colours, just try adding a bag or jewellery in the seasons colours!

 

2. Retro-Inspired Pieces

Retro-inspired pieces are making a comeback in Spring 2023. Think 60’s and 70’s inspired silhouettes, including flared pants, maxi dresses and platform shoes. These retro inspired pieces are perfect for adding a touch of nostalgia to your wardrobe. Why not check out our selection of vintage pieces for some 60’s and 70’s retro fashion.

Goth Baby T-Shirt - Punk Bear

£35

GOTH BABY GRUNGE CROP TOP & PLEATHER MINI SKIRT - COMING SOON

3. Grunge But Sexy

Get your bovver boots back out (to be honest mine never went in the closet), but according to British vogue the grunge look has returned to the mainstream. The grunge is a little sexier, sultry slip dresses, tartan and undone knits. Don’t be surprised to see hems that look unfinished, asymmetrical and or torn, as well as irregularly dyed. We also expect to see plenty more denim, utility trousers, leather, pleather and chains and we can’t wait to get them in the wardrobe!

3. Oversized Button Up Shirts & Blazers

Oversized blazers are a trend that’s been growing in popularity in recent years, and it’s set to continue in spring 2023. These blazers are perfect for adding structure to an outfit and can be dressed up or down. Oversized blazers are versatile and can be worn with jeans, skirts, or even shorts. No wardrobe is complete without an oversized button up shirt, perfect for casual summer style.

4. Statement Sleeves

Statement sleeves are another trend that is set to be big in spring 2023. From voluminous sleeves to puffed shoulders, these bold sleeves add a touch of drama to any outfit. Statement sleeves are perfect for adding a touch of personality to an otherwise simple outfit. We think the off the shoulder check swing top is a bargain buy and fits the statement sleeve option perfectly, as well as having a 1960s vibe.

5. Moto - Inspired

Moto is going to be a big hit for the season and we aren’t talking about the hippo from Dreamwork’s Madagascar 2 (although he’s pretty good too), we’re talking sexy biker chic. Think biker jackets with stitch detailing and big buckles on your boots and bags.

GOTH BABY CAMOUFLAGE MAXI SLIP DRESS
£110.00

5. Maxi Length Skirts

The Spring 2023 Fashion Week was apparently full of floor-grazing maxiskirts. From denim, leather and velvet to those retro 60’s and 70’s inspired pieces there’s sure to be something to suit your taste. Our made to order slip dresses tick a few boxes – maxi length, bold colours, slip dresses, check, check, check!

5. Sustainable Fashion

Sustainability is becoming increasingly important in the fashion industry, and it’s a trend that is set to continue in Spring 2023. Sustainable fashion is all about using eco-friendly materials and production methods. Opting for sustainable fashion is not only better for the environment, but can also be more ethical and socially responsible. Our made to order ranges at Azteque, in the long term decrease waste, by reducing unsold stock which may later end up in landfill. We also upcycle and use deadstock (items which have been held by other stores but have remained unsold), we aim to give them a new lease for life. You could also check out the vintage section, not only are these often one-offs (so everyone else won’t be wearing them), but there are some really on trend pieces.

In conclusion, spring 2023 is set to be an exciting season for fashion, with bold colors, retro-inspired pieces, grunge, oversized blazers and shirts, statement sleeves, moto sexy biker chic style, floor grazing skirts and sustainable fashion all making a statement. Whether you’re looking to add a pop of colour to your wardrobe or embrace the sustainability trend, there’s something for everyone this season.
