The phrase "it has pockets," which was once proclaimed to celebrate the superiority of a dress that you can toss your keys into, takes on a whole new meaning in 2022. One of the most wearable trends of all right now is cargo pants and it will certainly continue to go strong all year round. What will you fill your assortment of pockets with?

Now that we're entering yet another year living through a pandemic, we've seen it all when it comes to loungewear sets. That's why it's time we're asking our favorite fashion designers to take it up a notch and that is exactly what they're starting to do. I'm turning a new leaf and taking a break now and then from the basics and trying out fun features like stripes, texture, feathers, and more.

My love for tailoring has survived quite the storm of comfort-first dressing. Here's a trend that I can easily wear into the new year with ease. "The broken suit" is the simple concept of mixing and matching the exquisite tailoring and any matching sets you've worn to death and making them new again by playing around with fun combinations. Let a common color scheme guide our way and know that there's never a bad time to buy into tailored garments.

I've recently retired my denim jacket. It's not gone forever, just sitting on the sidelines waiting for its reemergence. In the meantime, I have swapped in my new star player, utility's finest military jacket. It just feels like such a fresh take on outerwear that makes every look I wear feel quite Ralph Lauren–esque. So effortless.

There's just something to be said about how instantly next level a bit of unexpected asymmetry can make any item. You can't walk away from this story without buying into this trend.
