I never expected to have an existential crisis about my emoji usage but we’re in the year 2023 so that’s pretty much par for the course. For context, when I asked my Gen-Z cousins about fashion trends, I also discovered they would never use the laugh-cry emoji. I hate to break it to you my fellow Millennials but one of our most-used emoticons is a signifier that we’re no longer relevant (well, at least that’s how I’ve interpreted it *inserts laugh-cry emoji*). The good news is that while I might be, ahem, “old” in some ways, Gen-Z fashion trends are something I can get on board with.
I spoke to a range of Gen-Z influencers from all over the world—from Indonesia to the UK—on the biggest trends for 2023 and what they’re wearing right now. I also scoped out the Lyst Index’s Q1 report for this seasons hottest (read: “coolest”) pieces of the quarter, and the top five were: Uniqlo crossbody bags, Rick Owens sunglasses, Weekday’s genderless jeans, Adidas Gazelles and Diesel’s denim maxi skirt. And if that doesn’t read like a Gen-Z shopping list, I don’t know what does. Depop is also seeing a popularity surge in resin rings and an +800% increase in searches of skinny sunglasses thanks to the likes of Bella Hadid’s very retro-style, so roll on the Y2K revival.
