Fashion Trends Sea 2023: fabrics, patterns and colors

Summer 2023 is just around the corner, summer hits are already ringing in the radio to make us dance and so also the sea fashion trends dictate their “rules”.
The watchword of sea fashion 2023 is definitely comfort and lightness. Expected are, in fact, light and transparent garments and accessories, impalpable as a second skin or over-size in full rule with the inclusive mentality therefore perfect for all body shapes. We will therefore dress in fresh, comfortable fabrics with some references to a past that is however revisited with contemporary taste. Back, in fact, the ’20s and ’90s in the style and fabrics that recall nature, so here we are with fantasies with flowers and animal prints.
The colors are vibrant and inspired by nature and summer energy. Among the predominant colors are the shades of orange, yellow, pink, blue and green, all characterized by a brightness and freshness that recall the sun and the sea.
Let’s take a look together with Cimmino to trends and fabrics Moda Mare

Fabrics, colors and prints of sea fashion 2023

As we have already mentioned, at the heart of this year’s sea fashion trend will be comfort and lightness.
The proposal is to choose lightweight and breathable fabrics to ensure maximum comfort in any situation; among the fabrics, therefore, we find linen, silk, cotton and chiffon, ideal for fresh and light garments. Silk, on the other hand, is perfect for elegant looks and is ideal for summer evenings to spend outdoors with friends or with your partner. Cotton, a classic summer fabric, is available in more innovative versions, such as stretch cotton or organic cotton. We have already said that summer fashion will give particular importance to the bodyshape and the inclusive mentality therefore particular attention is given to the choice of cuts and shapes of the garments, favoring large and fluid models, which allow greater breathability; we find in fact flared dresses, palazzo trousers and oversize shirts.
As for colors, fashion is inspired by nature and the vivacity of the summer. In addition to the bright pink Barbie style, there are the most delicate baby blue or the most intense cobalt blue but also “sunset effect” shades, warm and enveloping, such as orange and yellow. Even the green will take its place among the colors of summer 2023, recalling precisely the nature and freshness of summer environments.
In the 2023 sea fashion trends flowers abound, not only on the prints that decorate shirts, T-shirts and dresses but also on the accessories that become the protagonists and strong pieces of the outfit. Animal prints will also be very popular, especially those that recall the colors of nature.

Trends sea costumes 2023

This year we can finally say goodbye to the fateful swimsuit season thanks to a simple and inclusive sea fashion. One-piece or bikini, cut-out or crochet, vintage or minimal, high-waisted silhouettes that streamline: these are the trends proposed by the summer fashion 2023.
The cut-out costume, abandons the trikini and monokini and focuses on more modern shapes, in particular thanks to small strategic cuts under the breast, on the shoulders or side, which make the garment sensual but with taste.
The identikit of the glamorous high-waisted model includes the sports bralette or contoured underwire and the high-waist culotte that juts out the hips but, if you want to dare, even the low-rise bottom is on the crest of the wave.
For the one-piece costumes or for the cover-ups, a must-have this season will be the boho style in crochet, preferably in the tone of cream white, reminiscent of the old yarns by hand or in multicolor to pick up precisely the floral and vibrant patterns typical of summer 2023. For those who are not fans of excesses, outside and inside the shoreline, even the minimal style is part of the summer collections of 2023, both in its whole shape and in the two pieces, in the colors of black, white, chocolate, terracotta or powder.

Men’s summer fashion 2023

Don’t worry boys, we haven’t forgotten you!
Even on the front of men’s summer fashion the concept of comfort and lightness is affirmed. In fact, there is a return of the 90s, with wide shirts with patch pockets, bermuda shorts and cargo boxer costumes, the latter to be combined with colorful T-shirts with matching prints and summer sneakers.
For trousers will prefer the wide ones, which are confirmed as a versatile garment made to adapt perfectly to all body types, ideal for those who want to dress practical, comfortable and fresh garments, especially with the increase in temperature.
The colors of the men’s garments of the summer 2023 collections evoke the maritime environments of bays and coasts: alongside the neutral tones and the marine blues we find the green declined in various shades, from olive to algae up to the palm. But to liven up some classic garments are also allowed more pop and flamboyant tones.
Even for men’s costumes, you take a step back by preferring boxers with tropical or striped patterns, or even, simply in a minimal style with neutral colors, such as blue.


To choose the most suitable fashion fabrics for the summer season 2023, we invite you to browse the catalog on the Cimmino website.

Organza

What kind of fabric is organza: features and uses

The organza fabric has ancient origins, dating back to the fourteenth century in Asia, where it was initially produced only in silk. Over the centuries, the production of organza has spread all over the world and the fabric has started to be produced with other fibers, such as cotton and synthetic fibers. Let’s discover features and uses of organza fabric.

What is meant by the term organza and how to recognize it

The term organza refers to a type of light and transparent fabric, composed of threads woven together to form a transparent texture. Organza can be produced with different fibers, including silk, cotton and synthetic fibers. This fabric is often used for creating evening dresses and accessories such as scarves and stoles, as well as for decorations for weddings and other special occasions. Organza is also suitable for decorations of various types, designs, embroidery and lace for a more elegant and sophisticated look.

To recognize organza we must evaluate these five elements: transparency, texture, lucidity, elasticity and structure. Being a transparent fabric, you should be able to see through it when it is held against the light. The texture should be crisp and stiff, although there are softer and smoother variations. The organza also has a shiny appearance, a feature even more evident in that of silk. Organza is not an elastic fabric, so if the fabric in your hand stretches and widens, it’s not organza. Finally, the organza has a very fine and regular texture.

How to use organza and how many types of organza exist

Organza fabric is very versatile and can be used in many ways: clothing, decoration, gift wrapping, crafts and furniture. It is often used to create wedding and ceremony dresses, evening dresses and for special events.

In addition to the use in fashion, with organza we can decorate curtains, drapes, tablecloths, centerpieces, bows and other decorative elements for the house or for special events. This is also a great choice for gift wrapping, especially if you want to give the gift a stylish and sophisticated touch. You can create gift bags, ribbons, bows and decorations for packages.

There are different types of organza, which differ in the type of fiber used in production and the degree of transparency of the fabric. Listed below are some of the main types of organza.

Matte organza: this variety of organza has a less transparent texture than other varieties of organza and is often used to create more opaque-looking dresses and accessories.

Embroidered organza: this variety of organza is decorated with embroidery, lace or other decorative motifs.

Silk organza: produced using silk threads woven together, this variety of organza is very light and has a bright and delicate appearance.

Cotton organza: produced using cotton threads woven together, this variety of organza has a thicker texture than silk and is often used to create wedding dresses and accessories.

Organza maintenance

Organza is a delicate and light fabric that requires special attention during washing and ironing. Before washing organza, it is important to carefully read the fabric label, to check the specific washing instructions. Let’s see all the steps.

How to wash the organza

In general, organza should be washed by hand or machine with a delicate program and cold water. Do not squeeze or spin the fabric, rather lay it on a flat surface and a clean towel to make it dry, away from direct sunlight or heat sources, as it may damage and lose its natural transparency.

How to stretch the organza

To iron organza, you need to pay close attention as it is a delicate tissue that can get damaged easily. Here are some tips on how to iron organza:

Adjust the iron temperature on the “low temperature” or “silk” mode. This way, the fabric will not burn or melt during the ironing process.

Use a protective cloth. Before you start ironing organza, place a clean, lightweight cotton cloth on the fabric to protect it during the ironing process. Alternatively, you can also use a similar silk or organza fabric.

Iron gently. Place the iron on the surface of the organza and press gently without putting too much pressure. Begin ironing from the edge of the fabric and move the iron gently towards the center. Do not pass the iron repeatedly over the same area to avoid damaging the fabric.

Iron on the wrong side. If possible, turn the fabric over and iron it gently using the same process.

Avoid vaporization. Do not use vaporization when ironing organza as moisture may cause staining or discoloration.

Dry thoroughly. After ironing the organza, let it dry completely in the open air before storing.
