The most beautiful looks for autumn/winter 2023: the must-haves from PFW 2023

Victoria Beckham's fishnet stockings, Balmain's polka dot rhinestones, Dior's floral tie-dye: the trends to pin down for next winter

Every look is also a matter of details, not just of models and garments: this is how PFW 2023 surprised us by telling in its trends a desire for charm and not just practicality for next winter . Lots of look inspo, accessories to (re)discover, perhaps even in this mid-season which allows us to recycle and still not completely say goodbye to winter garments to be worn in lighter but comfortable and warm layers just enough to cushion the dancers' jolts of the climate. From Dior to Balmain, via Victoria Beckham and letting yourself be enchanted by Valentino's genderless wave, here are the most beautiful looks we'll wear next winter and the must haves to include in your wardrobe.

Fall/Winter 2023 trends: Dior's floral looks and Balmain's tailored and sophisticated outfits

Dior and Balmain pursuing different paths took us back in time, browsing through the archives of the maison and stopping in the 40s when finely crafted tailored jackets, pearls and precious stones were combined with bon ton looks , floral textures and wide hats, elegant and seductive they were an essential detail of the female dress code.

Catherine Dior's love for flowers, sister of the couturier to whom Maria Grazia Chiuri, creative director of the maison dedicated the collection , explodes in bustier dresses and skirts that are now long and straight, now wide and pleated, like an impressionist painting. A tie-dye effect that leaves no doubts about next season's colorful and explosive trend.

– At Balmain, on the other hand, it is the glittering detail that makes the difference and the desire to steal looks from our grandmothers' wardrobe: fitted jackets and wide , structured collars, fedora hats and a storm of polka-dot rhinestones on dynamic and dreamy midi skirts . A touch of the 40s, the desire to feel a little Grace Kelly next season.

Fishnet stockings in a romantic key by Victoria Beckham and thin tie by Valentino, the must-have accessories

In addition to the pearls and precious stones of the bijoux, two accessories have gained particular attention within some collections. From Victoria Beckham fishnet stockings , always associated with the bold and sexy dress code that plays between the symbols of punk and gothic, the designer proposes them in a very elegant key, letting them emerge from long dresses with wide but soft slits, in a shiny texture. A reinterpretation of the new romantic.

– Punk, rock, rebellion , are inspirations that have also been breathed on the catwalk of Valentino , which in the next season but already now rediscovers among the trends an accessory that has been somewhat buried in the female wardrobe: the tie in its thin version , yes wear it over shirts, crop tops, genderless dresses, but the look to bet on and give new life to semantically is the black and white shirt+tie combo.
