From baggy pants to hobo bags, 7 items that should be a part of your closet if you're Gen Z
Influenced by modern ideas as well as vintage aesthetics, Gen-Z fashion trends are redefining the industry. The youngsters are neither ashamed to utilise their parents' wardrobe nor afraid to obliterate the trends set by them if it doesn't suit their taste. 'Y2K fashion with a little dash of the 80s,' is how Isha Bhansali (stylist) describes Gen-Z fashion.
These trends can get tedious and hard to follow for anyone. This is why we have brought a comprehensive guide to Gen-Z fashion trends.
Here are 7 items that should be a part of your closet, if you're Gen Z or just someone looking to be influenced by their style:
A staple from the 1980s, Gen-Z has made a point to let go of the irrepressibly uncomfortable skinny/slim-fit jeans in favour of the more comfortable loose fits. You can find baggy pants at almost all major brand outlets now, as well as its many variants like cargo pants and parachute pants.
Another vintage item that has been repurposed by the youngsters, this one from the early 2000s. Although Hobo Bags come in many different shapes and forms, the classic style which is composed of a crescent shape and soft, pliable materials is the one which works both as a casual accessory as well as an addition to your upscale chic outfits.
While Gen-Z loves almost all retro sneakers such as the Nike Air Force 1 or the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star, Adidas Sambas was the highest selling sneakers of 2022 and has been titled as the 'It' sneaker for this generation.
'Glitter is back in many different ways, whether it's in makeup, or rhinestones, or accessories' stated Isha. Between street style and high fashion, glitter or any form or shimmer in outfits is something which brings about boldness and individuality in your outfits.
Another Y2K style, this one was not really loved in its prime but Gen-Z is not afraid to embrace it. Women love pairing low rise jeans with crop tops, tank tops, and baby tees.
Similar to how Gen-Z parted ways with skinny jeans, they are also ready to let go of ankle length socks in favor of the more prominent calf-length socks.
Gen Z is ready to go all out with makeup. With YouTube beauty tutorials and an extensive catalogue of products at their disposal, the youngsters are redefining what makeup used to be.
