Five Trends That Were On Our Style Radar In 2023

The most coveted trends in 2023 comprised pantsuits, sequined bodycon dresses, velvet kurta, corset tops, bold cut-outs, and oversized jackets. Many such trends caught our attention, and here are five that we think were the most loved:

  • Painting the Town Pink with Barbiecore
  • Come on, Barbie! Let’s go party - and so she did! The first half of the year was dominated by ultra-feminine and chic Barbiecore style. Defined by its whimsical flair and playful tones, Barbiecore pays homage to the iconic Barbie doll. A striking example of this trend can be found in Ananya Pandey's attire, perfect for brunches, picnics, and dates. The Bollywood sensation has donned a classic Barbie-hot pink blouse paired with a figure-skimming skirt, featuring a see-through embroidered finish. She rounded off the look with pumps of the same shade to echo the vibrancy of the Barbie aesthetic.

  • Flaunting the Fabulous Fishnet 
  • The fishnet-inspired outfits were the highlight of the Paris Fashion Week this year. And when it comes to on-trend fashion, we should take cues from Khushi Kapoor, who is slaying the dress-up game. She wore a black, fishnet-style dress adorned with shimmery accents. The stars of her attire were the off-shoulder bow neckline and a high slit for a dash of drama. Khushi’s dress was perfectly choreographed to the rhythm of her curves.

  • Starry Sequins with Bold Cut-outs 
  • Shanaya Kapoor’s show-stopping ensemble is the lovechild of two trends – sequins and cut-outs. She flaunted a one-shoulder dress with a linear sequined arrangement. Her outfit comprised a flirtatious cut-out at the waist and a daring high slit.
    You can take cues from Ms. Kapoor’s outfit for cocktail parties and grand celebrations. Her spangled ensemble found its sole mate in embellished golden-hued pencil heels.

  • Feeling Fabulous in Florals
  • From lehengas to sarees and maxi dresses, florals have become an eternal style statement. Sobhita Dhulipala's red carpet-appearance at an award show embodies this floral fascination. She was wearing an elegantly draped floral saree teamed with an embellished blouse. Her ensemble is sure to become your go-to for festivities and weddings.

  • Velvety Embrace for that Winter Glam

  • Shehnaaz Gill’s velvet kurta set is nothing short of a winter-style saga. She flaunted a V-neck kurta with subtle embellishments and bell sleeves that sway with every move. The kurta is paired with a straight-fit pant and a flowy dupatta. Shehnaaz’s attire is a comfortable yet glamorous choice for special occasions in the chilly season.
