The fashion weeks of the SS23 season are behind us. However, as is well
known, the trends can not only be found on the catwalks, but also on the
streets. The looks can be calm and classic, but also really wild like in
the cowshed. FashionUnited has summarized what was pulled out of the
streetwear cauldron during the fashion weeks in Milan and Paris.
Balenciagamania
Balenciaga is a hot topic on the runway every season with his staging on
the catwalk and the approach to design: a wild mix of controversy and
kitsch squeezed into a mixture of streetwear and high fashion by creative
director Demna Gvasalia.

Fans not only dig into the French fashion house's pieces - sunglasses
and bags with prints like the Eiffel Tower are popular - but also the
aesthetic, which sits somewhere between rave culture and sportswear. This
is crowned with pop culture elements and a pinch of ugly chic. The Hello
Kitty fan meets Barbie Overload look meets outfits that could have come
straight from a pop-punk music video from the 2010s.
A movement that naturally stands out between elegant looks with long
dresses and suits.

Racers
The race driver looks also gains momentum. In pole position is the
racing jacket, which uses the colors of the respective racing team and at
the same time becomes a billboard for the many sponsors who adorn the
jackets as photos or prints. A fashionable cover is supplied by the fashion
house Prada, among others, which is active as an outfitter for various
sports such as sailing and extreme sports and whose logo also adorns such
jackets.
Unlike on the racetrack, fashion for the racing theme offers
significantly more scope and so a jersey with racing stripes can become a
dress with cut-outs, which of course also promote the dynamic of the
look.

Witch Dance and the Modern Middle Ages
Not only happy, playful looks were shown on the streets of Paris and Milan.
A dark veil swept through the streets. A touch of gothic romance paired
with a classic image of European witches. The black outfits brought back
the Middle Ages with a twist through modern fabrics and combinations.
A coarsely knitted top in combination with a hood and an iron belt are
reminiscent of a modern form of knight's armor, which becomes a cool look
with sunglasses. But a look of light-colored corsets with bows in
combination with a dark, flared maxi skirt also fits in this direction. A
dark hat, under the brim of which part of the face disappears, which is
combined with a dark, closed coat, creates a much more reserved, but still
similarly gloomy aura.

Matrix coats
It stays dark: A long black leather coat takes center stage this season.
Since the first Matrix film came out in the late 90s, the dark leather coat
has had a strong appeal that is currently being used by women who wear
it.
The rest of the outfit becomes almost irrelevant and in most cases is
quite reserved. A black turtleneck or a light blouse under the coat round
off the look in a simple way. But actually almost everything can be worn or
hidden under a black leather coat.

Cow spots
We stick to the leather, or rather its origin: the cow. The mammal's
spots were a popular pattern on the streets of Paris and Milan. But it
didn't necessarily have to be real leather, jackets made of
animal-friendly, vegan leather look and plush coats were also on display.
The spots also vary in looks between different shades of brown and black,
just like real cows.
Since the cow patch jacket is a real eye-catcher, the look can be
rounded off with simple jeans and a turtleneck sweater that matches the
color of the pattern.

Casual tie
During the women's fashion weeks, the focus was also on the street,
especially on the womenswear looks. Of course men were also present. So
that they don't feel like they're stepping on their toes, the last trend is
dedicated to them, which appropriately focuses on the very formal
accessory.
This season, the tie has been recontextualized not only in womenswear –
as part of the Y2K trend, the return of the rocking schoolgirl ala Avril
Lavign with a loose tie knot over a simple top – but also in menswear. Here
the tie remains pulled up, but is integrated into a casual look – far
removed from the business look with a suit and patent-leather shoes.

The possibilities are varied, whether in addition to a casual oversized
shirt with a print, wide trousers and a peaked cap or in a leather version
in combination with BDSM elements such as a dog collar, rivets and even
more leather, the tie can be personalized and integrated style.
