A new year means a fresh new start and if you’re looking to update your closet, this is the perfect time to do so! Of course, fashion trends are just that: trends. When it comes to clothing, everyone has their own style and tastes. However, if you’re looking to add in something new or want to get in on some DIY-ing, we have 6 fashion items that are worth giving a try in 2022.
Cutouts
The popularity of cutouts has been growing throughout the 2020 – 2021 year and according to the runaway, the style is only getting stronger. Not only do they allow for an endless amount of abstract looks and patterns, but they do add some relief for the upcoming hotter seasons.

Moreover, if you want some cutout clothes without breaking the bank, you could always try DIY-ing some by cutting up an old dress or shirt!
Oversized Blazers
Oversized blazers have also been on the rise, both on and off the runway. We can thank the dark academia trend of 2020 for that. Not just for the office anymore, blazers have become a nice way to give a sophisticated touch to a rather casual outfit. In other words, this fashion item is going nowhere soon in 2022 or beyond, so you might as well make it a wardrobe staple!

Catsuits
For a major 2022 fashion upgrade, try a little catsuit! And we aren’t talking about Halle Berry’s Catwoman suit. We’re referring to something sleek and chic. Think Bella Hadid’s nude-colored catsuit she wore for the Harper’s Bazaar Icons Party in 2018. Catsuits can be styled in a lot of different ways, from a base for layers to being worn alone. We at THP believe anyone can rock an outfit, so don’t be afraid to go outside the box with this one!

Pearls But With A Twist
Pearls are a classic! Whoever says they aren’t is lying. Pearl jewelry has been around for a long time, and they aren’t going away in 2022. Unlike your grandma’s pearls, however, we have a feeling that this year’s pearls are going to be less regal and way more fun. If anything, this seems like a revamping of the chunky, colorful jewelry trend of Instagram. After all, we’re already seeing pearls being incorporated with other jewels and stones in a similar, yet more practical fashion. So, why not join the fun this year?

Platforms
Reach for the sky with some platforms! To be honest, we all saw this trend coming within the last year with Olivia Rodrigo‘s platforms she wore to the White House and chunky shoes being everywhere on Instagram. Even more, platforms are a great way to add some height, especially if you’re wearing a long skirt or pants. Plus, we think it would be a clever visual representation of how you’ll be reaching for all your 2022 goals. Regardless, it’s another fashion item to try which might end up as a wardrobe essential.
