Runway to retail: brightly colored pant suits

Fashion

Christopher John Rogers Resort 22, Valentino FW22, Zara

Ready-to-wear in 2022 has seen a revival of 'comme des garçon' (like the boys) style. Pant suits, shirts and even ties are trending on the runways and trickling down to the retail level. More and more, consumers are demanding trans-seasonal styles, which has led to the increasing popularity of the brightly colored pant suit to wear all year round.
