Design details are an important part of womenswear trends and bring a lot of fresh inspiration and design ideas for Spring/Summer 2023 designs.

1. Cutouts

Cutout detail that has been used to inspire a subversive sexy esthetic over the last few seasons, and build organic openings that realign the body's contours.

Take inspiration from classic cuts and details, such as cutaways or sleeves, to add interest to your daywear style.

2.Soft Volume

The trend of full volume silhouettes is being ramped up in ultra-light fabrics, for an easy take on summer season dressing. Consumer demand for comfort to be embedded across all product categories has become a mainstay that brands and designers will have to consider going forward while oversized and volume details have been trending. Crinkle wovens lend themselves to warm earth tones, and benefit from self-tightness to manipulate the size of sleeves, waists, or hems. Soft volume can be delivered as a directional detail, which up-specced a silk shirt with the addition of a lightweight cape in print.

3.Lingerie Details

Delicate Details and Textures in the form of draped chiffon, simplistic bust seaming, and multi-ties to control volume. Delicate details inspired by the lingerie category are favored over restrictive body contouring. Lightweight fabrics and loosened corset ties give a relaxed quality. The appeal of intricate details and textures in the form of draped chiffon, simple bust seaming, and multi-ties to control volume. Lightweight fabrics speak to the summer season and serve to create a barely there subtle sexiness for wearers seeking a sexy accent that can be paired with tailored separates, or layered with jerseys or woven tops for cross-functionality.

4.Preppy branding

Although numbers and letters are the traditional routes of classic preppy logos, for a new generation seeking to be different, the application of retro bold patterns or words is beginning to be considered and enlarged with a single color or a first-class brightness print placed in unusual or incongruous positions on clothing, also use formulaic codes for block lettering in applique, contrast stitching, and jacquard.

5.Y2K motifs

Nowadays the trend of retro nostalgia is growing and many trends from the early 21st century are starting to return. The most representative is that in the form of different processes (printing, appliqué, and hand crochet inserts, and applying to micro-scale or button decorations to improve its wearability) butterfly patterns in the Y2K style, hearts, stars, and daisies can have the same effect and can strengthen this trend. Not only fashion can also be applied to baby t-shirts, sportswear, and denim shorts.                  

6.Pieced-together patchwork

The designer has recently begun designing crochet knitwear in neon, using blanks and rolled-end fabrics to create unique designs, bringing these textural combinations to market as positive design features. Also using a tonal color palette that can be patched or appliquéd, the highly designed patchwork allows for the creation of garments with personality. Applying these styles to new iterations promotes collaboration with emerging brands, provides redundant fabrics and trims to be repurposed for new low-impact garments, and allows each component to remain longer in the product life cycle, better-promoting sustainability.

7.Back focus

Using simple details such as twisted ties on knitted undershirts or contrasting printed bows on summer dresses, the design of the garment shifts the focus to different parts of the body to reveal a different kind of sex appeal.
