Something else I think that’s out for 2023 is buying new clothes. Fast fashion should be dead. … I have just been seeing this more and more, even myself. I’m not interested in buying new stuff anymore. I’m way more inclined to look for something vintage. I genuinely don’t want to buy a Chanel bag from the Chanel store. I want to go and source a really cool, unique piece that no one else is going to have. I feel this way about clothing as well, not just accessories.
When I see people on my Instagram sharing where they got their outfits and they say that their look is fully vintage my first thought is, “That is so cool.” This helps me focus on the styling of an outfit way more than where something is from, and then I’m not googling Prada item numbers all night.
I also think that luxe fabrics are going to be so in as well as slingback shoes. I think closed-toed shoes are going to be the thing. Open-toed pumps are going to be less popular. I have a feeling the sexy pointed-toe, closed-toed pump is going to be the moment.
What about when it comes to hair? What hair trends or styles are you loving for 2023?
For hair, blowouts and super-big hair are in. The hot tools that you use, especially from Dyson, to get bigger hair are going to be a must-have. It’s all about the “supermodel off-duty” hair. I think sleek, straight hair is on its way out.
What about outerwear or layering pieces? What made the cut for the New Year, and what didn’t?
I think that blazers were a huge thing [last] year. Every girl was wearing an oversize blazer, and it was such a moment, and I honestly really like it. It kind of goes hand in hand with that boss energy—like girl-boss energy—and I love it. However, I do think that it’s super corporate, and for a while, it was a fun way to make a corporate look also stylish, but I think now it’s all about those big faux-fur jackets. A big faux-fur jacket has the same boss energy, just more fashionable and more Carrie Bradshaw. I wore mine basically every day while I was in New York recently. And it’s going back to the vintage-ness thing I was talking about earlier. I love the vintage aspect of it, having a big jacket that you’ve never seen before. It’s super cool, and it shows that you have a sense of style.
What are you most looking forward to in 2023?
Well, I’m very excited for an upcoming project that I’m launching in the New Year, and I’ve been working on it for a very long time, and when people find out what it is, I think they’re gonna be very surprised but also super excited. … It makes sense like they’re gonna be like, “Oh my God, that makes sense for Emma.” But they would never expect it for me. I don’t think so. That’s what I’m most excited for in 2023. I’m also just really excited to travel again. Obviously, travel has been open for a while now, but I just love to travel and look forward to my trips every year. I’m really excited to go to Europe and excited for European summer. I’m also excited to just play with my fashion and beauty. This past year, I was really playing around with makeup a lot and having fun with it in a way I never really did before. I used to always keep the same look all the time and stuck to something I knew. But this year, I experimented a little bit, and I loved it, especially my fashion too. I’m excited to take what I learned in 2022 and not give a crap about what anyone thinks in 2023. I am in my “slay era” mindset, and I’m excited to carry that energy into 2023.
What is one piece of style advice that you learned in 2022 that you’re gonna be taking into 2023?
So my biggest style advice is less is more. People often go out and think, “Oh, I need to be dressy. I need to look fancy.” But I think now the way to look cool when you go out is to put on a really cool pair of denim, add a sparkly/statement shoe, wear a cute T-shirt, and pair that with a cool jacket. I think now it’s about being cooler and chiller. Think of Hailey Bieber. She’s a great example of this.
