Tailoring meets iconic 2000s silhouettes. For the FW23 essential range, wide tailored looks remain a staple and search for novel details around the waist area, updated leggings approach new velvety or motorcycle finishes, and retro crops and soft ballon shapes remain the basic everyday pieces for the assortment. As a novelty, a long slim fit tailored pants, reminiscent of the 90s, and more extreme flares on wider shapes are adding a sophisticated and dressy focus. At the same time, FW23 is diving even further into the Y2K archives in terms of silhouettes and product shapes. From lowered baggy looks to the girly fit and flare bellbottom, the pants for the next season are feeling distinctly youthful and fun. A more edgy, wide performance nylon style is depicting the era’s subcultural references and adds a polarizing style to the next season.

As the waistline is lowering, the waistband is facing dramatic levels of experimentation: From daring detachments or enveloping wrapped looks to even entirely left-out waistbands, creativity is feeling somewhat disruptive here. For a more sophisticated note, classic strap fastenings on the side or clever integrations of matching belts can elevate classic looks or add sophistication to unexpected styles. Seams can look at lacing or lace inserts for a much-needed touch of excitement, while the leg can be tapered with delicate straps for a tied up effect.
