Overarching cultural trends will always impact what designers create and send down their runways each season. The same principle holds true for trends that are inevitably adopted by editors, models, and street style's elite. With sustainability at the top of everyone’s minds, there's a ripple effect in place—many of the biggest trends of today are either sustainable, or an ode to sustainability. All-over brown feels grounded and earthy, pieces that look like they're from another epoch are here and now, minimalism means there's inherent longevity in each piece, and maximalism is taking form through trends like patchwork, where even pieces that aren't actually cut-and-sewn still give the experience of old meeting new.
From patchwork dresses that feel vintage, to Bode's patchwork shirt that actually employs antique quilts, to a Tory Sport sweater with a graphic take on patchwork, ahead are the patchwork pieces to shop now.
