Spring / Summer 2022 Trends
Style college he’s back, or maybe he just never left. Preppy dominates the trends of spring 2022: pleated skirts, pullovers, moccasins (strictly with socks!) And varsity jackets. It may be that in confused times there is a desire for rules (even just for the sake of breaking them) the fact is that the Spring / Summer 2022 catwalks from Miu Miu a BOSS they take us back to school, reinterpreting uniforms in a glamorous and feminine way, with a new transgressive accent.

The new preppy style for Spring 2022
A close (but more feminine) cousin of the college style is the preppy: the name recalls the preparatory schools for US colleges and is distinguished by a sober palette (blue, white, beige and some English green brushstrokes) and the rigorous cuts of the uniforms. If you have seen Gossip Girl, for example, you have a huge preppy sample to draw from. The preppy style made a big comeback on the catwalks, but in a rebellious, sexy and transgressive version. During the Spring / Summer 2022 fashion show of Miu MiuMiuccia Prada took all the essential elements of the preppy together – from pullovers to moccasins – and destroyed them, creating the most famous scissor outfits on Instagram.

The return of the varsity jackets for Spring / Summer 2022
Years go by, but there varsity jacket it never goes out of style: we are talking about the sports jacket born over a century ago as part of the baseball uniforms of American colleges, with contrasting sleeves and badges in plain sight. The varsity jacket immediately brings to mind the campus life, the relaxed but always impeccable style of the Ivy League students. It may be for this reason that many brands have proposed it in the summer collections, from StellaMcCartney a Burberry. BOSS dedicated the entire summer collection to the world of sports and colleges, making the models parading in a real baseball field. Impossible not to have at least one in the wardrobe, to be chosen in an oversized and colored version.

How to recreate the college style
If the college style has resisted until today it is thanks to its versatility: a few classic, simple and versatile pieces, to be perfect on any occasion. The risk, however, is to have a style that is “too” classic, almost dated. However, spring trends put the accent on the more playful and transgressive side of the schoolgirl style: yes to the pleated skirt, but in a mini or low-waisted version. The V-neck pullover can become a mini dress, as it suggests Lacoste, or be paired with shorts. The moccasins are also back, strictly with the white sock in plain sight.

Go ahead also for polo shirts and shirts, an ideal passepartout for the office and leisure time. To complete the look, nothing better than a tailored blazer, perhaps in an oversized version, to be worn also on crop tops and miniskirts. Preppy looks drive generation Z crazy and on social media the hashtag #DarkAcademia, a term that indicates an intellectual style that is a bit dark, rigorous and timeless. Other than boring or dated: college style is the ABC of fashion, at any age.
