Our attention is laser-focused on spring trends right now. While we, the editors atBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing , certainly have our favorites, we thought it could be interesting to gain insight into what's defining the season from a different sartorial point of view for something different. Enter Diego Abba, CEO of Italist. This fashion exec has a pulse on what's trending from a luxury retail perspective. He's noted a few specific trends that are becoming increasingly popular on the site, and will probably become even hotter over the next few months given that many of the looks also had a presence in the fall/winter 2023 collections that debuted during fashion month.

"With over 1500 brands and 250,000 items curated by Italy's best retail buyers, it's easy to spot fashion trends coalescing on Italist,” he said. Oh, it's also to note that the beauty of Italist is that you can save majorly on designer items because the pieces are at the local Italian price. Many of the new spring collections are already marked down, and you can save up to 45% off local retail pricing.

Below you'll uncover further insight from Abba about the trends that are bubbling up, based on customer interaction on the site. If you're interested in investing in a new piece, you'll also find shopping picks to jump on the trending items. There's also visual inspiration to showcase the trends in question.

"Leather, leather, leather! In New York and Milan, leather garments (not just accessories) were a clear trend. We foresee lots of leather button-down shirts, skirts, and other separates. Faux-leather works too!"—Diego Abba

"Evidence of minimalism appeared in the runway trends for spring/summer and fall/winter 2023, like early '90s simplicity. The items that are trending now on Italist include subtler logo visibility, with an emphasis on classical shapes."—Abba

"Special specs are trending. In the eyewear space, brands like Chrome Hearts and Jacques Marie Mage are hugely popular right now, because they’re hard to find. Italist has one of the most comprehensive selections of niche and hard-to-find eyewear in the market and for cheaper than list price."—Abba

Semi-Sheer Items

"We are loving this season's transparent and semi-sheer ready-to-wear, which appeared on runways from Bottega Veneta to Rick Owens, and we believe it's a theme worth investing in because the style is more timeless than trendy. Prada's sheer dresses, for example, are silky perfection (and $2000 less on Italist)."—Abba
