The Definitive Guide to Living in the Capital , Cairo , Egypt

Lately, menswear has broken away from the usual monotony and become more innovative, with the incorporation of a wide range of materials and the introduction of vibrant patterns with the prominence of minimalistic colour schemes, mainly beige, white, baby blue, and cream.

With that said, as the weather is getting warmer by the day, this is the perfect opportunity to pimp your wardrobe with the upcoming summer trends. But before you dive deep into what is trending, you need to filter through them and pick what fits your style. Here is a guide to the best trends for SS23, from loose-fitting pants to delicate crochets. And if you’re old enough, you’ll find that many of these trends are making a comeback from the early 2000s!

Knitwear

Knitwear comes in different styles and shapes, all of which are made with precise craftsmanship. The details are designed to take one’s look to the next level. While they’re not that common yet, we believe that there will be a focus on them this summer.

Sweater Vests

Who would’ve thought that sweater vests could be fashionable for summer looks? The sleeveless pullovers associated with older people for decades are now being styled with baggy khakis, a plain white t-shirt, and sneakers.

Tank Tops

While many still look down on tank tops, referring to them as fanellas, they too can be styled to give a breezy and stylish look. This is where layering saves the day; you can now replace t-shirts with tank tops underneath things like camp-collar shirts, button-downs, or even flannels.

Printed Cargos

It’s not news that wide-leg pants made a comeback replacing skinny fits, but you might not know is that printed legwear is the it thing now. With the rise of local Egyptian brands, numerous designs from the knee down to the leg opening have added an aesthetic twist.

Cross-body Bags

With the rise of cargo and baggy pants, you get plenty of spacious pockets, which we lacked back in the skinny-leg era. You’d think this means that now you can finally fit all your belonging in these pockets, but being fashionable is not that easy, is it? We now use cross-body bags for this. They come in all styles, colours, shapes, and sizes to be a practical and stylish accessory.

Jewellery

Accessorising has become the focal piece of many outfits, defining one’s personal style. And if you really want to make a statement, then forget bracelets – ring sets are all the rage right now! Not only do they look amazing on your fingers, but they’re also a great way to express your style and personality.

Y2K Glasses

As timeless as classic aviators and round sunglasses might sound, it’s time for more extravagant styles. The key here is to select a type that stands out and find a way to incorporate it into your outfits. And if, for whatever reason, you don’t feel like it fits the
overall vibe, but you like the edge it gives, then just go for it and own that look! After all, that’s what the trends for SS23 are all about.
