As the witchy Scorpio season beckons, could we be channelling the mystical allure of ancient tree spirits? Only time will tell! What we do know is that the woodgrain phenomenon is in its early stages, quietly gracing runways and slowly making its way into the mainstream. The burning question is—why now? Let’s dive into this emerging wood print frenzy and explore how to rock it before it becomes ubiquitous! Denim Is the Talk of the Town Again, While Cobalt Blue Is the Colour We Are About to See Everywhere.

The wood trend branches into two exciting styles. First, think garments adorned with stunning woodgrain print patterns, either artfully designed or brought to life using luxurious fabrics like moire silk. On the other hand, there’s a bold, literal interpretation of the theme. Remember when Taylor Russell made jaws drop at the 2024 Met Gala in a jaw-dropping Loewe dress that looked like a polished wood masterpiece? That magical look was crafted through hydro-sublimation, making it an unforgettable sight!

But Taylor isn’t alone! Lizzo wowed onlookers at the 2019 BET Awards with her House of Holland wood-inspired ensemble, complete with stunning nails to match. And who could forget Savannah James and her head-turning, ethereal wood print dress from Jean Paul Gaultier’s 2016 couture line earlier this summer?

Fashion icons like Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney, Brandon Maxwell, and Thierry Mugler have long incorporated exquisite wood prints into their collections, setting the stage for this electrifying trend. It’s just the breath of fresh air we need amidst the sea of cheetah spots, zebra stripes, and crocodile patterns!

So, why this wood obsession? When we think about what wood evokes—trees, nature, and even a touch of the mythical—it seems only natural that we crave a return to a softer, more organic aesthetic in our fast-paced, industrial world. With technology advancing daily, could this longing for nature be the ultimate fashion statement? And considering the ongoing animal print trend, these wood patterns offer a stylishly humane alternative!

This magnetic draw towards earthy woodgrain designs is more than just a fad; it’s a fresh way to celebrate nature! Mugler’s collection drew inspiration from the enchanting landscapes of Africa, while Gaultier offered a glimpse into a serene stroll through a Japanese forest. And let’s not forget those styles reminiscent of human-crafted wood— they feel so connected to the ‘70s vibe that has been making a comeback. After all, what screams 1970s more than wall-to-wall wood panelling? Get Excited for a Season Brimming With Stylish Loafers! These Versatile Shoes are the Footwear Trend you Absolutely Can't Miss.

Jump into the wood grain wave and let your style reflect the beautiful connection to nature!
