Exhausted from browsing the internet in hope of finding the perfect trendy wardrobe? We understand it is impossible to nail down what’s hot and coming when you see different styles and silhouettes on celebrities everyday and when your favourite fashion influencer steps out in her “never-seen-before” accessories. Well, your search is over for good!
In the search for “The new cool”, we peeped into celebrity fashion, trending colours, watched reruns of fashion shows — so you don’t have to! Get ready to oomph your girlfriends every time you show up at a party, or at a day out with the boys or on the first date!
Here are top 5 Payppy approved Gen-Z fashion trends that will turn heads, break ice and get ‘em talking:
1. Y2K fashion
No points for guessing the biggest fashion trend comeback! Y2K can be defined in one word and one word only— ICONIC. From laces, denim, nice tops, body chains, and snakeskin to relaxed fits, basics and classic RayBans, Y2K has been a perfect amalgamation of old becoming the new, just like the year itself.
Y2K has recently made a comeback on the runways and looks promising enough to stay its most celebrated welcome. So girlies, go grab a cute denim crop top, pair it with a flare denim jean, rock some flat-form sandals and complete the look with some statement pink/purple sunnies. Voila!
2. Sustainable Chic
Wasn’t it high time we started choosing more sustainable clothing options? As they say, “There is no planet B” and that’s how we should be thinking! Brands have given us some great sustainable fashion pieces that scream “the new cool” because of their minimal colour palette and maximal planet-saving effect.
A guide to sustainable fashion starts with picking brands that are doing a noble job. Consider checking out https://www.nonasties.in/ https://thesummerhouse.in/ and https://11-11.in/ for some conscious fashion choices!
To rock this look: go ahead and buy a basic white tee or a linen beige shirt, pair it with khaki trousers and if you feel like layering it, go for a darker khaki oversized jacket made out of recycled materials. Feel like making it a tiny-bit cute? Crochet earrings or a tote is your best choice!
3. Oversized Baggy Apparel
Oversized clothing provides a level of comfort that is unmatched by any other style. With loose-fitting tops, pants, and dresses, you can move freely and effortlessly, allowing you to go about their day with ease.
How it makes the cut as “the new cool”?
It allows for a sense of individuality and self-expression. It breaks away from the traditional norms of fashion, enabling our gen to showcase our unique style and personality. Whether it’s an oversized hoodie paired with leggings or a baggy t-shirt tucked into high-waisted jeans, this trend allows us to create their fashion statement.
If you’re new to the world of oversized, it can be a risky business. Start with an oversized solid colour tee paired with well-fitted cargos, then move on to graphics on print-on-the-back oversized tees, then experiment with oversized pants and finally cardigans that are almost double your size! Don’t forget to have fun and be confident 😉
4. Statement Accessories
Gone are the days when you’d pick your accessories that match your outfit colour. Our sources tell us, the new cool is all about chunky, bold and statement-making accessories that accentuate a chic outfit and bring life to a basic one.
Start by picking the most eye-catchy item on the rack — the bigger, the better. Golds, silvers, and a few accent coloured bags and necklaces will always make your fashion game look A1.
5. Gender Neutral Clothing
Who said it was only for Pete Davidson, Harry Styles or Ranveer Singh?
After making heads turn, gender-neutral clothing has made its forever mark in netizens’ hearts. Not only does it scream “the new cool”, but it is also incredibly fashionable, and wearable and helps our gen show how open we are to experiments.
These fashion pieces have a free-flow of patterns, designs, textures, fabrics, silhouettes, proportions and of course, creativity.
To get started on a gender-neutral fashion roulette, if your bet is on playing safe, start by adding a new colour, texture or silhouette to your everyday wardrobe. Jumpsuits and dungarees are the easiest to kickstart with! And if you want to go all in, do not shy away from buying tunic style skirts, flow-y kaftans and… accessorise well!
Last but not the least, Payppy found confidence and a smile to be ruling the charts when it comes to being “the new cool”. Fashion is always a helping hand, but you, you are the main character.
