Thanks to the forward-thinking nature of the fashion industry, we get a glimpse of what’s coming in style each season. And while we reject the idea that you should throw out old pieces to make room for newer “on-trend” styles, we always love to see how designers, both established and up-and-coming, interpret the look.

From a motocross jacket from the 2000s and a maxi skirt from the 90s, to oversized denim and cargo, we’ve bought the key pieces you can expect to see everywhere. And remember, don’t be afraid to “shop” your own wardrobe and consider already-favorite iterations (we’ve included some options below) while checking out new styles. Come 2023.
