Jane Fonda predicted these trends for 2022 when she was young

Jane Fonda is a unique case where one name can evoke completely different associations for different people. Someone will remember his video tutorials – oh, aerobics was so much more fun then with all those neon leggings and leggings in all the colors of the rainbow! Others will resurrect iconic films starring the actress, from China Syndrome and Julie to Homecoming. But today we’re talking about Jane, the fashion visionary who in the 1970s predicted the trends we’re chasing now. And not just predicted, but did it with chilling accuracy!

We recently admired Bella Hadid and her jumpsuit, which the web has already dubbed the perfect look for the heat of the city and the holidays. Solid light shorts and a shirt, under it is a vintage bra or a top of a swimsuit of an unusual texture, made of silk or satin. You can also add a large visible print, for example a floral print – these are the ones chosen by Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid and Sydney Sweeney in the summer of 2022. And Jane Fonda used the same combination 50 years ago!

The return of corsets is one of our favorite subjects. It’s not just a wardrobe item, it’s a symbol of emancipation, a break with the image of a submissive girl, who needs to suffer for beauty. Corsets are no longer so tight that they fade away, but can also be worn as a top, for show. With oversized jackets and jackets with raised shoulders, they seem to say: “Look, I am a woman, and I choose sexuality and strength at the same time. Because I want to”. Jane, by the way, did it in the last century.

Dresses with cutouts

One of this summer’s key trends! Fonda has always liked to focus on size. Belts, fitted silhouettes, undercuts, prints, cuts – it was all used. Dresses with such geometric cutouts in 2022 flooded all stores and catwalks. You yourself noticed that two seasons ago there was no such excitement, this is one of the freshest new products. And another trend that Jane predicted decades ago.

Total images are another feature of recent years. They’ve gone from fashionista monochrome to one-material outfits and even back to all-denim, which a few years ago was considered bad manners. Now a linen, silk, satin, velvet and leather suit is not a fashionable mistake, but a feature for the brave. Fonda has obviously always been part of the fearless fashion squad.

There are so many fringes this season that you can weave nets into them and catch fashionistas all over the world. Although it’s too late – they got caught. Net skirts, fringed capes and tops, noodle-hemmed dresses, even cowboy jackets – it’s all back to the zeros and sixties. Jane Fonda has had at least two reincarnations of the bangs and still uses it today. True, not as often as in the early career years. But we have a good reason to repeat one of the first images of the icon – the trendiest!
