5 Tokyo Fashion Trends You’ll See Everywhere This Summer 2022

Are you ready to keep up and move onto summer 2022 fashion? It’s that time again to make a few simple tweaks and add some trending summer pieces to your wardrobe.

Spring is over and summer has officially started! After being stuck and unable to move around freely for the past few years, this summer, it’s all about positivity and feeling bold and free. One way to express yourself and show off good vibes is through your outfits, of course.   

From popular colors like bold orange and yellow to trending materials like sheer and crochet, be the first to update your outfits with the best-selected items below. Let’s all enjoy the exciting season in a fashionable way! 

1. Sheer, see-through blouses

Sheer and see-through is the first trending material this summer. This easy-to-style material gives off a feminine and relaxed feel to an outfit. By layering it with a smart blazer or jacket, you can also create a smart, impressionable look. One thing is for sure, everyone can do with a white sheer blouse in their summer wardrobe.

If you want to style your sheer, see-through blouse to the next level, try coordinating it with a short crochet (trending material alert!) vest. The crochet vest by Grl is definitely given our approval.

Savvy Styling Tip: 

Really go for it and choose a bold color like green or yellow for the crochet skirt. Style this with a simple blouse or t-shirt and you’re good to go. 

3. Easy, comfy pants

Following the theme of comfort and relaxation, you may notice that shops are stocked with easy, comfy pants. Keep an eye out for botanical and oriental prints which are totally in right now.

Savvy Styling Tip:

When the bottom half of your outfit is relaxed and casual, it’s always a great idea to match this with a beautiful, elegant top like the sheer blouse. To really up your game, try wearing a top that’s similar in color to the pants for a head-to-toe sleek look. 

4. Puff-sleeve dress

Compared to last season when we saw volume added to just the shoulders or collars of clothing items, this season it’s all about the voluminous sleeves. By opting for a basic color and design, you can make puff-sleeve dresses daily wear.

Puff-sleeve dresses can be versatile. Dress it up with a pair of heels and statement jewelry for an elegant look. Alternatively, dress it down with your favorite pair of sneakers and a casual bag.  

5. Micro mini bags

Micro mini bags. You might be wondering, what do I put in it? Maybe you can only fit a smartphone and a card. It might not be the most practical, but it’s definitely still a cute, trendy accessory.

The bag might be mini, but it’s a huge statement piece. Perfect for any style outfit. Start off with a classic square or rectangle-shaped bag, or be a little extra and try out a heart-shaped mini bag.
