Impressions - March 2022 - 23
In a decade that has seen " Zoom " and
" Teams " emerge as popular verbs, the athleisure
trend is continuing to gain steam, propelled
by the desire for comfortable clothes
that are multifunctional and complement busy
lifestyles. Th ink of it as the updated version
of the trusty navy blazer: apparel that can be
worn at the offi ce, while attending virtual
meetings or running errands.
While working from home still will be
prevalent in 2022, it's expected that toward
the middle of the year, people will fi nd occasions
to dress up and go out more often.
A major trend will be dressing up existing
athleisure with sportswear.
" Athleisure will continue to grow, but I
think you will see athleisure and sportswear
infl uences start to blur together more
as women look to evolve their dress, " says
Kevin Freeman, vice president of merchandising
and development, Gildan Activewear.
He cites examples such as bra tops being
combined with blazers; new textured fabrics
in traditional items like joggers; and a mix
of athleisure and sportswear. Such pairings
allow wearers to maintain a level of versatility
and comfort while showcasing a more
polished look.
Jennifer Oleksik, director of apparel design
and quality, LAT Apparel, agrees, pointing
out that while people still love comfort,
they want to look stylish, too. She terms the
blending of trendy and professional styles as
" workleisure. " Such a look can be as simple
as pairing a hoodie or joggers with a blazer,
or dressing up jeans with a blouse and
casual mules.
Other Emerging Trends
Th e elevation of basics - including premium
fabrics and details - will be on display
in 2022 as folks strive to regain a sense of
normalcy: dining at restaurants, gathering
with friends and family, and returning to
the offi ce. Fabrics with surface interest and
texture are gaining in popularity. So are faded
mineral washes and dyes, waffl e knits,
super-soft ribs and lightweight cotton/polyester
blends.
Colors that are naturally derived and inspired
by landscapes will take center stage.
Th ink muted, earthy tones like off -white,
oatmeal, crème or other neutral tones. Colors
that feel nostalgic and comforting also
will have appeal - think retro pastels like
blush pinks and powder blues. Dark staples,
such as inky blacks and French navy, will
continue to feel classic yet sophisticated.
Womenswear is evolving beyond items
that are not only multifunctional and comfortable,
but also " seasonless. " Rosen points

to the emergence of modular dressing, which
ensures adaptive apparel regardless of the
season. Examples include lightweight jackets
with adjustable ruching, reversible sweat
shirts and garments with multiple pockets.
Adjustable details like two-way zippers, bungee
cords and snap sides also encourage a
variety of wear, regardless of the weather
or occasion.
As a working woman and mother of three,
Courtney Karam, general manager, Citadel
Brands, dresses in what she calls " transitional "
clothing. During the day she'll wear leggings
and dress it up with a nice top. After work,
she'll throw on a matching sports bra and
hit the gym. Th en she'll don a zip-up hoodie
Cropped items and crew sweat shirts
with matching sweat pants or leggings
will remain fashionable this year. Photo
