Risk It

Show off your beautifully moisturized spring-ready skin with an ultra-short mini-skirt. 2022 spring fashion is bringing out all sorts of splashy and fun super short mini-skirts. How do you style this trend without looking too risqué? Style your micro mini with a cute sweater to balance out the amount of skin on display. 

It’s a Garden Out There

Pick out a print showcasing your favourite flowers to display in a new way…on your body! Floral fashion designs are all the rage for spring 2022 with everything from large bold flower patterns to subdued miniature prints. Show off your femininity with flowy floral dresses and skirts perfectly suited for a mad hatter tea party.  

In Your Face

Punchy colours are at the forefront of fashion for spring 2022 but what exactly does this entail, you ask?

“…that sweater is not just blue, it’s not turquoise. It’s not lapis. It’s actually cerulean.” states Meryl Streep’s character, Miranda Priestly in the movie “The Devil Wears Prada” and yes, you guessed it, one of the colours of the year is cerulean. Other colours designers are gravitating towards are Kelly green and hot orange. 

Don’t be afraid to be yourself and let your true colours shine through.

“These Boots Were Made for Walkin’”

Nancy Sinatra may have sung it but this year you can show it, walking in extreme thigh-high boots, showing off your fashion pride. A pair of boots like these will go great with that ultra mini skirt from your spring forward fashion closet. Show the world your confidence.

New Heights

Speaking of heights, you will be blown away by the super high heels and wedges for spring 2022. Heels make your legs look great so why not show them off with that cute floral mini dress you bought for date night. You’ll be sure to grab the attention of your special someone!

Far Out

You will be far out for sure, wearing your new crochet top and pants with your high, shiny stiletto heels. Spacey vibes and funky feelings of high shine are just right for the fashion realm you will be living in this spring. If you want your shoes to stand out, they most certainly will. Metallics and patent leathers are fun and playful materials you can choose from if you gravitate towards this style.

Power to You

Entertain the world in your high-fashion gladiator shoes. Show off your powerful side like a Gladiator entertaining and fighting in ancient Rome. Gladiator-style shoes come in a variety of forms from flat sandals to high heels and boots. The fashion is all in the wrapping.

Wacky 

Show off your goofy side with heels that make a statement. Think anything from strawberries to triangles and beyond. If you can imagine it, chances are a designer has designed it as a heel for spring 2022.
