Trendalytics is back to examine current events in the fashion world and in society as a whole. There are five new trends you should research in order to avoid being caught off guard, including 6-zero searches on Tik Tok, TV, lifestyle, and home design. Although there is always a clear nod to the past, new technologies that produce practical materials and hybrid accessories have plenty of space to develop. Here are the latest fashion trends that you should research and follow, including minimal cuts, geometric patterns, maxi bows, and candy-effect colors.

Classic style

With an impressive 3 million views on Tik Tok, she dusts off minimalism not only in fashion but also in the world of beauty and décor, casting an eye towards sustainability, second-hand and upcycling. Cult classic staples include Sailor jeans +67%, varsity jumpers +37%, leather loafers +22%, white tank tops +20% and white t-shirts +6%, but also blazers +13% and trench coats +12%. Prints want the impeccable pinstripes or full-bodied fabrics, the leading brands are Dries Van Noten, Bottega Veneta, Jil Sander, The Row and Tibi.

Elevated indie style

No, it’s not alternative sleaze; rather, it’s a more refined interpretation of the fashions of Saint Laurent, Versace, Khaite, Gauchere, and Khaite. According to research, moto jackets (+5%), acid wash denim (+48%), denim maxi skirts (155%), and cargo trousers (+57%) are the most popular items in this new micro style. Herringbone and checks are clearly preferred in terms of patterns, while the somber colors include burgundy, black, anthracite, and olive green. Who are the role models? Sky Ferreira, Megan Fox, Billie Ellis, and Olivia Rodrigo.

Sartorial sensibility

Beware of being persuaded by Tik Tok’s 95 thousand views, which still hide the trend’s fervent wish to manifest itself fully. If the emphasis is on the details, bows (+97%), feathers (+84%), appliqued flowers (+6%), and bobble hems (+3%), full skirts (+12%), and a lot of stone-rich jewelry (+4%), the clothing does not hold back either. Reference labels include Giambattista Valli, Acne Studios, Loewe, Collina Strada, and Simone Rocha. Prints are typically floral or jacquard, and colors are softer than sherbet, including pinks, light blues, and butter yellows. In addition, Sofia Coppola’s Marie Antoinette, Bridgerton, and Emily in Paris are mentioned.

Instruction Manual Style

Sophisticated futurism meets utilitarian tradition. The result is an aesthetic that wants puffer waistcoats +62%, cargo trousers +57%, hybrid shoes +31%, bags +31% and bomber jackets +4%. Nylon and twill fabrics are often dazzling. The brands that represent the “core” well are Blumarine, Andrea Adamo, Christian Dior, The Attico and Dion Lee. This is a trend that has also been seen in recent seasons, but it is influenced by new technologies. The best example is hybrid shoes, a mix of trainers and walking shoes, and Crocs and heels.

Retro mix style

Like a recipe, they take the hottest elements of decades past and wear them with a mix-and-match game that makes the old style absolutely current. Tik Tok, with its 16.3 billion views, confirms this, as do the catwalks of Atlein, Miu Miu, Bally, Alyx and Jacquemus. From 80s pop to 60s psychedelic prints to 90s minimalism and jazzed up with geometric prints, maxi stripes and florals, the retro mix is already on everyone’s lips. The most coveted items include knee-high boots (+57%), varsity jacket (+38%), skorts (+18%), A-line dress (+9%), bootcut denim (+4%).
