The best looks from the spring 2022 runways were defined by unexpected twists on classic shapes and techniques. The 1960s received major nods, getting the Mod treatment from Courrèges, Fendi, and Dior, while Rodarte and Marni went the flower power route. Catsuits, a trend seen on nearly every celebrity from Kim Kardashian to Dua Lipa and Hailey Bieber, were rendered in luscious black latex at Saint Laurent and Rastafarian colors at Theophilio. And the pull of the early 2000s remained irresistible, showing up in the form of exposed thongs, super low-rise bottoms, and of course, the micro mini-skirt. Now that spring is in full swing, we’re starting to see wearable interpretations of these themes show up in our favorite stores. Keep track of it all with our shoppable guide to staying on top of the season’s top trends.

Candy-colored flower power prints, smiley faces, and peace signs evoke the feeling of a modern, elevated take on Haight/Ashbury archetypes. On the dressier side, it’s the perfect starting point for a beach wedding. More casual pieces make for an effortless weekend look.

While some designers chose to play with traditional uniform pieces or throwback going-out gear, others opted for a more casual take on a high school wardrobe, from high fashion sportswear to eclectic, thrift-shop-inspired layering.
