The stand-out trends for 2023 reflect many moods. There’s something for the minimalist and there’s something for someone who loves to put on a spectacular show of their personal style.
Nivedita Saboo, Founder and Fashion Entrepreneur at Nivedita – Luxe Pret and Couture shares insights to make sure your fashion game remains on-point, regardless of the ever changing trends. If you ask me, the best emerging trends of a season are ones you can easily emulate. What it means is that there’s no overarching theme per se—2023 trends celebrate individuality and timelessness.
Let my 5-point guide inspire you to invest in outfits that are not only of-the-moment but will also last for years to come. And hopefully, even help you pull out existing pieces from your own stash to stay on-trend.
The trend: Luxe resort wear
For years, resort wear has been a catchall for brands and designers. But with travel and destination weddings back on the radar, resort style gets a luxury update this year. And I don’t mean outfits emblazoned with OTT work, but a healthy dose of glitter, glamour, and most importantly, thoughtful details. At the House of Nivedita, luxury is translated into our bespoke digitally printed fabrics. Often inspired by Roman art and architecture, we often take the more is more approach for our breathable prints. These textiles then become canvases for intricate handiwork before taking the shape of statement outfits for the modern jetsetter and wedding goer.
The trend: Versatile pieces
A sense of quiet elegance and versatility will be all pervasive in 2023. Think a diverse array of pragmatic yet stunning ensembles that go from day to night, from smart casual to vacation ready in a jiffy. Our Cut & Sew creations including travel jackets and dresses are a nod to such season-less style. Crafted in a stretch and non-crease suede fabric, every jacket boasts impeccable tailoring and a truly unforgettable finish. Then there are our dresses, with travel-to-cocktail appeal, that you can relish for different occasions all-year round.
The trend: Viva Magenta
Pantone’s Colour of the Year, Viva Magenta seems like an obvious pick. But the shade, which beautifully sits between pink and red, is big news. It is, as the creators behind it said, “brave, fearless and pulsating”. You can take the hue everywhere, be it a soirée or sojourn. For instance, a Viva Magenta sherwani for a daytime wedding ceremony would look just as sophisticated as a shirt in the colour layered with a classic black suit. Or a Viva Magenta sequinned cocktail gown or a floral tea dress.
The trend: Sensual wedding silhouettes
The modern bride is no longer adhering to the norms. She’s embracing traditions as well as her freedom of expression at once. The main message? Bring sexy back. The new year brings a sensual, sultry spin to occasion wear. At our atelier, we are putting a show-stopping perspective to classic lehengas and gowns for the bride and her tribe. In one area, you’ll see Themyscira influences, sensual cuts, sheer fabrics and edgy details form the aesthetics of our gowns. Then, there are the timeless lehenga skirts paired with bustiers and corsets to strike the perfect old and new balance.
The trend: Eye-catching accessories
Whether a classic white shirt + jeans look or a unique dress, accessories can make or break an outfit. It’s why year on year, accessories earn their prime spot in the wardrobes of trend-setters across the world. From hand-crafted shoes to sumptuous arm-candies, accessories will play a pivotal role in making a head-turning outfit—and key investment buys in 2023 as well.
