what are the fresh new fashion trends to shop for the new year 2023?

After doing our part by dressing up for the holidays, how are we dressing for the beginning of the New Year? While we love a good excuse to embrace our maximalist tendencies and go all out in opulent velvets, shiny sequins, and bold sweaters, we find ourselves craving something more grounded in these final winter months. Many retailers are promoting elevated closet essentials this time of year, but more grey or camel-colored sweaters doesn’t feel quite right, either.

So what are we to wear in the new year 2023 that feels fresh and fun?

Well, dear reader, we’re looking to pieces inspired by nature for standout prints that feel fresh. And earthy colors that have a pop of contrast. These aren’t one-offs (unlike those gem-encrusted heels I bought to go with the New Year’s Eve dress I didn’t even end up wearing), but clothing and accessories that make the transition into spring effortless. If you want something appropriately optimistic for the New Year with a dose of practicality, here are 10 styles to add to your cart now.

10 new fashions for a fun and fresh start to the new year 2023

1. Ulla Johnson turtleneck

Ulla Johnson’s lush prints always make us do a double take and this season is no different. Painterly flowers on a kaleidoscopic background make this slinky mesh turtleneck an easy choice for pairing with wide-leg trousers for work or leather pants for date night.

3. Evarae dress

Though this flouncy dress is adorned with tropical leaves, we think the moody tones are perfect for winter. Pair with black tights and boots now and espadrilles later. A perfect every-season that caught our eye as one of the best new fashions to shop in 2023.

4. YMC cardigan

Some color combos just illicit subconscious delight and for us, pink and green is one of them. This slouchy cardigan embraces the colors’ playful vibe and the mohair-blend is oh-so-soft.

Sometimes all you need to reimagine an outfit is a standout belt. This one from Etro epitomizes the house’s wanderlust spirit with an opulent embroidered pattern.

We finish our edit of the new fresh fashions to shop this new year 2023 with a cool pair of boots from one of our favorite designers.
