If you were surprised by the semi-abrupt appearance of Pumpkin Spice Lattes, don’t be. Even though summer technically ends September 21st, people start the season’s funeral when August ends.
While the temperature is still 88 degrees and sweltering, people are switching to scalding hot lattes and sweaters. It’s just the way the brain works, I guess. We force fall too early until we realize we want summer back.
Everyone tells me that their “unpopular opinion” is they prefer winter/fall clothes to summer. Revolutionary. No, duh – it is so much easier to sport baggy, oversized sweaters than a pair of hot pink shorts.
The trend over the past year or so has been baggy everything. The Billie Eilish, if you will - AKA, clothes not clinging to not a single part of your body. Summer naturally throws a wrench into all of this as the clothes are smaller and your patience is a little thinner.
But since it seems everyone is seemingly “over” summer - which no doubt everyone will deny ever saying that in two months - I’ve been looking forward to the new fall fashion trends. 2022 has seen its fair share of recycled trends: Y2K returned with a vengeance and low rise pants, cargo pants, baby tees, and trucker hats flooded the streets. 70’s flare jeans and crochet numbers have also come back into the spotlight after a 50-year hiatus.
This fall, we’re yet again going back in time. 2006 to be exact. That’s right, Birkenstocks are back. In fact, everything you’d expect your 2000 self to wear is about to grace stores near you.
If you’re looking to get ahead of your TikTok FYP, look no further. Brace yourselves, ladies and gentlemen, here are some 2022 fall fashion trends that have been slowly walking past me.
