In the world of fast fashion, where new trends come and go one after another, we've put together a list of Gen Z's favorite “core” items you should have in your closet.
Here, we visit all the Gen Z aesthetic trends that are all the rage right now.
cottage core
Celebrating simplicity, cottagecore promotes a lifestyle centered around traditional skills such as baking, gardening, and sewing. When it comes to fashion, it's all about breezy dresses, romantic blouses, cozy knitwear, natural colors, and rustic patterns, often in materials like cotton, linen, and silk.
dark academia
This fashion trend reflects a romantic fascination with all things related to intellectual pursuits. Her dark academia outfits feature plaid, criss-cross, and houndstooth prints on her pleated miniskirts, oversized jackets, cardigans, and classic white button-up blouses.
Y2K
2000, also known as Y2K fashion, includes trends from the late 1990s and early 2000s. A trip down memory lane for millennials, it comes back every few years with a blend of futuristic and retro elements.
grandma on the coast
Consider an unbuttoned button-up. Think casual preppy, and then think “coastal grandma.” Inspired by the films of Nancy Meyers, this trend combines preppy elements with a loose, flowy, beachy vibe.
wife of mob
Tired of quiet luxury? Well, the mob wives are coming to the rescue. Right now, TikTok is awash with the “Yakuza Wife” trend, which incorporates fur coats, black clothing, and leopard print. This trend also utilizes bold accessories such as gold hoop earrings, leopard print jackets, and vintage sheen fur for the perfect on-point sheen look.
fairy core
Inspired by fairy tale depictions of fairies, fairycore fashion showcases loose, billowing designs often made from unconventional fabric combinations, such as chiffon and chunky sweater knits. The quirky fairy core look also combines ruffles, pleats, and long fabric gathers.
