Every year, a fashion trend takes place among the insiders of women's ready-to-wear: the cocooning homewear. Cocooning means "return to oneself", a way of expressing a need to withdraw into oneself in winter to stop being cold. The cocooning is a fashion declined by various fields: the clothing fashion, but also the interior architecture and the interior decoration in particular. The brands then propose warm, comfortable and relaxing collections to inspire a spirit of relaxation in winter fashion.

What is cocooning fashion?

Cocooning fashion is not only about dressing warmly and protecting yourself from the cold, but also about feeling protected and comfortable inside. Dresses, tops, sweaters, jackets, shawls, gloves, socks, pajamas and slippers are the key pieces that characterize this trend. With the arrival of winter, people are looking for warm, soft and cozy clothes. They try not to be cold. Cocooning fashion is about dressing warmly and feeling good inside.

Fashion : warm and comfortable cocooning

The cocooning trend is a natural extension of the evolution of fashion, which is increasingly focused on well-being. This fashion is associated with a return to one's roots, with the desire to stay close to one's roots, to be more in tune with oneself. And what could be more basic than putting on a warm sweater, putting your feet up on a pair of soft slippers or snuggling up with a blanket? This is a trend that applies to all kinds of clothing. Mixing fabrics and textures remains a key feature of this trend. Fashion designers combine fabrics of different textures or combine different patterns. This is the case with sweaters that have a velvet collar or leggings with a mohair pattern. This trend is also reflected in the colors used.

Softness and luxury in the homewear collection

Mix prints and colors: from two-color to one-color

For several seasons, fashion designers have been experimenting with mixing different patterns, fabrics and colors. This trend applies to the cocooning mode and is often characterized by the use of two different tones. For example, a black and gray sweater with a white pattern, or a pair of leggings with a multi-colored pattern. For the cocooning trend, fashion designers began to focus on mixing a single tone, resulting in a seamless look, a consistent style. By mixing different tones and patterns, designers try to create a harmonious cocooning look. They try to give a warm atmosphere to the clothes. The cocooning trend is about dressing warmly and feeling good inside. Dressing warmly does not only mean wearing warm and thick clothes. It also means taking care of what you wear and choosing quality over quantity. It's about finding comfort in what we wear, whether it's jeans or a dress. It's taking care of yourself and being proud of who you are.
