1. Skinny to Baggy Everything
In 2021, skinny jeans and leggings were the standard wear in school hallways. Everyone wore them with baggy hoodies for a good combination of relaxed and stylish. Fast forward to now, and the fashion space is flipped on its head. Baggy jeans
and parachute pants are the center of attention, giving an airier feel and a looser look. It’s all about comfort while not compromising style. The entire aesthetic and feel is similar to the retro 2000s, and social media has played an enormous role in getting the trend viral. These days, everything is about being comfortable and dressing in your own style. Baggy fashion allows individuals to move easily, and people are definitely enjoying that. It’s more about not being completely put together but rather being yourself.
2. Athleisure going from Lazy to Fashion
Sweatpants and leggings were formerly the exclusive domain of days when you didn’t have the energy to get dressed.
Now for a change, athleisure is a popular look. Flared leggings, sports shorts and hoodies are now a part of the average wardrobe for almost everyone. Students are producing styles that appear as if they just got out of bed, but somehow still look super intentional. Brands like Lululemon, Nike, and even clothes off of sites like Amazon are everywhere in school hallways. Athleisure is no longer simply about comfort rather about making comfort stylish. A good jacket or new shoes can dress up a relaxed outfit and make it stylish. It’s a matter of combining function with a sense of fashion.
3. Shoe Game from Functional to Personal
Shoes were strictly functional not so many years back.
Nowadays, shoe game is a huge aspect of the entire package. From chunky sneakers to literal slippers, shoes can
be the center of an outfit. Now, it’s about having a pair that stands out and makes a statement. Brands such as Nike, Adidas and Uggs are huge, but the real trend is making your shoes a part of your own personal style. What you wear on your feet can speak volumes about you from standing out to being plain. Your sneakers are no longer for running around but for showing off, and this is proof that the right shoes can take your closet to a new level.
4. Accessories, The Finishing Touch
Just a few years ago, accessories were very basic and mostly an afterthought. Today, though, they’re a major piece of every look.
From AirPods, to layers of necklaces and bracelets, accessories are how people show their personality. Even a basic look can be elevated with some accessories.
Things for looks or even things for function like whoop bands or apple watches can add to a look. Accessories transitioned from being add-ons to being essential. They’re the perfect finishing touch when it comes to completing an outfit, and can make or break one. It’s the finer details that transform lacking, bland appearances into something flashy and good looking.
