When designing your collection, you’ll need to consider varying seasonal trends and shifting market conditions. Relying on versatile fabrics like spandex will carry you through the year, but you’ll need to adjust your offerings to suit the weather, from cozy autumn leggings to glitzy winter gowns for the New Year. Before planning your next ensemble, consider the different fashion trends of each season.

Top Fashion Trends of Each Season

1. Fall

In late September, as the summer breeze moves out and the air turns crisp and cool, fashion changes to account for the reduced temperatures.  Fall fashion trends tend to revolve around cozy and comfortable, with earthy hues of browns and greens intertwined with fiery oranges and reds. Lightly lined jackets, scarves, and chunky wool sweaters made extra stretchy and comfy with added spandex are all staples of the season. 

2. Winter

As December rolls in, plummeting temperatures mean consumers will be covering up with thick, heavy coats. Fur, velvet, and wool are especially popular materials during this time, as are spandex tights ideal for wearing to parties and events. Colors tend to be dramatic during this season, ranging from bright crimson and evergreen to evoke the holiday spirit to the gem-like blues and violets of the New Year. Add some dazzle using sequins or glittery fabrics. 

3. Spring

Ushering in warmer weather, spring fashion trends are infused with pastels and soft shades of pinks, greens, blues, and lavenders. Customers will likely want lighter items that they can layer to stay comfortable for temperature fluctuations. Focus on delicate shapes with flowing details. 

4. Summer

The temperatures are heating and up and summer fashion trends call for breathable fabrics and designs with bright colors or floral patterns. Shorts and sleeveless tees will make their return, as will swimwear and workout clothing. Breathable cotton is also a popular material for this time of year.
