Top wedding fashion trends for summer 2022
As the world gains back the sense of normalcy after almost two grueling years into the pandemic, the 2022 summer wedding season looks really promising. The fashion industry is gearing up for the upcoming wedding season and here are some major festive fashion trends that will dominate 2022, predicts Rimjhim Hada, co-founder and creative head of a clothing brand.
Comfort is the key
Keeping the heat in view, the "comfort" quotient will take center stage for brides-to-be as well as wedding guests. Heavy outfits that make you sweat are going to be out this year. Flowing silhouettes in breathable fabrics are an integral part of fashion styling for most people during summer. Fabrics that are likely to be seen everywhere include cotton, organza, and satin.
Flower power
Nothing beats the freshness of a floral dress. This timeless style will always capture hearts, and make its way in the festive wardrobe, wedding trousseau, and all other occasions. From handpainted floral patterns, floral jaal block prints to intricately embroidered floral motifs, we will see a lot of floral patterns, particularly handpainted lehengas for pre-wedding functions like mehendi, haldi, or sangeet.
Pastels with a twist
The soft pastel hues are like the cool breeze on a hot summer day. This season will see pastels coming back in trend but with a color twist. When we think pastel, shades of soft pink, peach, and green come to mind, but we'll see a lot more shades this season. Washed out blue, lilac, and grey are set to become the new crush.
Shararas, the hottest pick this 'shaadi' season
The spread of sharara love on Insta we see is only a trailer to sharara suits and dresses being a rage this wedding season. Ranking high on comfort quotient, shararas are stylish and feisty, exactly what brides and bridesmaids want. From layered and wide flared shararas to different styled kurtas, sharara styles will definitely become a favorite among women who love to experiment.
The bottom line
A lot awaits us this summer wedding season. Check out what other interesting styles you come across at weddings, get inspired, and improvise on that. The current fashion trends will also set the tone for the coming years. However, comfort and functionality are here to stay in occasion wear and party wear. No one is expected to wear heavy zardousi work to look royal.
