3 women’s fashion trends for autumn/winter 2022

The autumn/winter season is the time of the year fashionista’s love the most; the time when we pack away the casual, pared down looks of summer and ramp up our style and elegance aspirations for the cooler months.

Simple sundresses are exchanged for dresses, coats, pants, scarves, hats and gloves, and personal style is teamed with the latest trends to create our own individual styles that will see us through until the sun shines again.

The fashion-forward stores of Camberwell Junction are now stocking their shelves with the latest looks and show-stopping pieces that will brighten your autumn/winter days.

We’ve had a sneak peek and can reveal three key fashion trends for autumn/winter 2022 that you’re going to just adore.

Fashion trend #1: The knit dress

The classic knit dress oozes chic and style, while at the same time offering all the comfort and warmth of a big hug.

The knit dress of autumn/winter 2022 pays homage to its ancestors from the 1970s but with some key differences. The modern knit dress embraces the neutral tones (fawn, grey, burgundy and camel) of the classic style, but pulls in key elements of the season, including panels, cut-out details, and buttons and belts to elevate the look.

Choose a knit that is big and bold, or really embrace the new season look with a knit dress that combines panels of different knits in varying sizes.

Fashion trend #2: Quilted outerwear

Puffer jackets are universally loved, and this autumn/winter Australian designers have collectively got together and decided that everything we adore about the puffer jacket should be extended to our entire wardrobe.

Before you start having visions of walking out of the house looking like the Michelin Man, know that there are degrees of puff, and garments with small amounts of puff are called quilted – and this year, quilting is huge.

The quilted vest has had a style upgrade and now features chic add-ons, such as belts and statement buttons, and quilted sweaters and dresses are proving that the style mavens of the 1950s silver screen were on to something – and that something is casual elegance with a touch of comfort and warmth.

Fashion trend #3: Wide-leg pants

The wide-leg pant is all about the oversized look, and this season pants are a relaxed loose fit, with a generous round cut leg.

Bulk is avoided by light-weight fabrics: denim and light corduroy for casual daywear, and soft linen for the office.

The wide-leg pant should be juxtaposed with a close fit or structured shirt or sweater, making the pants the feature of the look.

The fashion stores of Camberwell Junction are stocked with all three key fashion trends, in a variety of styles and colours to complement your lifestyle, as well as your personal signature style. Head in store today to find your favourite pieces.
