In the world of fashion, there are always new trends to look out for. But what will be popular in the next decade? This article compiled a list of six things that you can expect to see in fashion over the next ten years.
Integration of technology
More and more clothes will have built-in technology, such as LED lights or sensors. These LED lights can be used for a variety of purposes, such as providing information about the wearer or lighting up in response to music. As for sensors, they can be used to track things like heart rate and steps taken. You will also see a rise in “smart fabrics” that can react to changes in temperature or moisture. More often than not, these clothes will be connected to your phones or other devices wirelessly.
The best part is that there will already be various virtual stores that will allow you to shop for clothes without even leaving your house. This technology will most likely be powered by the metaverse, which is a virtual world that is created by the interaction of multiple users. In this case, what the Metaverse means for fashion is that you will be able to fit and style clothes virtually before you make a purchase. This will allow you to get a better idea of how the clothing will look on you and if it is something that you would wear. If you are happy with the results, you can then proceed to purchase the clothing.
Athleisure will continue to dominate
The athleisure trend has been popular in recent years and it doesn’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon. Comfortable yet stylish clothing that can be worn both for working out and for running errands is the perfect solution for those who want to be comfortable without sacrificing style. This trend is also great for those who want to be able to transition from the gym to work or from work to a night out with ease. With more and more people becoming conscious of their health and fitness, it is no surprise that athleisure will continue to be popular in the next decade. For this reason, you can expect to see an even wider range of athleisure clothing that caters to different needs and preferences.
More sustainable fashion
As people become more aware of the impact that clothing has on the environment, there will be greater demand for sustainable fashion. This could mean clothes made from sustainable materials such as bamboo or organic cotton. Bamboo is a great sustainable material as it is fast-growing and requires very little water to grow. It is also biodegradable, meaning that it will not end up in landfill sites. Organic cotton is another sustainable material that is becoming more popular as it is grown without the use of harmful pesticides or herbicides. This means that it is better for the environment and for the people who work in the cotton industry.
You can also expect to see a rise in “upcycled” clothing, which is made from recycled materials. Sustainable fashion could also mean clothing that is made to last longer and can be worn multiple times without showing too much wear and tear. Whatever the case may be, it is something that you can expect to see more of in the next decade. In addition to this, you can also expect a return to vintage styles. With the current state of the world, there is a growing trend of people wanting to return to simpler times. This can be seen in the popularity of shows like Stranger Things and movies set in the 1950s. Hence, you can expect to see more clothes that are inspired by the past, such as poodle skirts and letterman jackets. More often than not, these clothes are only lying in your grandma’s attic waiting to be discovered.
Androgynous styles
You will also start to see more androgynous styles. This means that there will be clothes that can be worn by both men and women. This trend is perfect for those who want to break the mold and don’t want to be confined by traditional gender norms. Androgynous styles also tend to be more comfortable and can be worn in a variety of ways, which is always a plus. Perhaps this is aligned with the acceptance of all genders, and the fluidity of personal style. In case you are a man, and you would love to wear a dress just to express yourself, it will no longer be seen as taboo, and you could do so without feeling out of place much like how women now wear pants.
Bigger sizes will be more widely available
There has been a movement in recent years to make clothing more size-inclusive. This is something that you can expect to see more of in the next decade. More brands will start to offer a wider range of sizes so that everyone can find clothes that fit them properly. This is a great trend for those who have struggled to find clothes that fit them in the past. For example, if you are a plus-size woman, you will finally be able to find clothes that are both stylish and fit you well. Society will no longer deem a size 6 as the “ideal” size and, instead, accept that people come in all shapes and sizes.
Focus on self-expression
Finally, there will be a big focus on self-expression and individuality. This means that people will want clothes that reflect their personality and style. There will be less focus on following trends and more focus on wearing what makes you feel good. This is a trend that everybody can all get behind. For instance, if you are more comfortable in a baggy shirt and jeans, you can wear them without feeling like you have to conform to societal norms. Designers will most likely create more unique and one-of-a-kind pieces so that people can express themselves through their clothing.
So there you have it! These are six things that you can expect to see in fashion over the next decade. These may seem like small changes, but they will have a big impact on the world of fashion. So get ready for some big changes in the next decade. When you look back, you’ll be able to say that you were ahead of the curve.
