Fashion is an ever-changing phenomenon, we have seen these trends change for years now. We have seen fashion trends evolve over the years and we see some of them keep coming back. But the GenZ fashion trends are proving to be the most open, free, and non-bounding we've ever seen.
Who is GenZ?
Generation Z (or Zoomers) is the demographic generation that follows Millennials and before Generation Alpha. Beginning birth years are the mid to late 1990s, and ending birth years are the 2010s, according to researchers and popular media. The majority of Generation Z individuals are Generation X kids.
GenZ Values
You wouldn't expect the first generation of social media users to be community-oriented, would you? One of the best core qualities of Generation Z is their concern for other people and formal volunteerism. They value action over words, and because they are "always on," they are always sharing their experiences.
Gen Z is concerned about the common good and well-being. They care about everyone having the opportunity to be who they are in life. In other words, Gen Z values freedom of expression. They wish to help genuine people and organizations (i.e. authentic). They also want to ensure that being genuine includes the ability to express oneself freely.
GenZ Fashion
GenZ is all about fluidity, inclusivity, and sustainability. We see a lot of these trends in their fashion choices also. From oversized shirts to thrifting, all these practices are rooted in the same ideology. GenZ knows how to accessorize and pull off clothes while being sustainable and fluid.
Here are some GenZ fashion trends you could get behind:
The ’90s are Coming Back
Fashion trends come and go in continuous cycles, fading away and reappearing with a new sense of utility. Gen Z is quickly catching up with some popular fashion trends from the 1990s that older generations abandoned. Bucket hats were a popular trend in the 1990s, but they went out of style until lately, when they resurfaced in a variety of patterns and hues. Cut-outs, colored sunglasses, tiny baguette purses, and other millennial-era fashions are still popular today.
Pearls
Sustainability
As the generation born amidst a climate crisis, GenZ understands the importance of sustainable living from a very young age. Sustainable clothing has long been a popular choice among Generation Z, and it is starting to make even bigger waves now.
Recycled vintage designs and other variations are among the styles available. We see the sustainable wear trend emerging as celebrities and trendsetters style repeat outfits and choose old items. Zendaya is an example of this, as she dressed in a vintage Roberto Cavalli gown. This usage hypothesis also implies that brands that promote sustainability and ethical behavior will gain traction.
Fluid Clothing

As cultural standards evolve and gender fluidity becomes a more acknowledged term, Gen-Z has a more fluid approach to gender than prior generations. As a result, this group is never afraid to flaunt fashion in whichever way they feel fit. Gender-neutral apparel has become increasingly fashionable in recent months, and we expect to see a lot more of it in 2022. We may expect more firms to join the gender-neutral hype train in the coming year, given that multinational names have already jumped on board.
Comfort Plus Style
With work-from-home culture and post-pandemic standards, Gen-Z has a strong affinity for comfy attire. Shapes, comfort sleepsuits, stay-at-home styles, and athleisure are controlling the trend and have become the standard uniform in every Gen-closet Z's for being ultra-comfy yet trendy and chic. Gen Z has discovered that leggings and cycling shorts, as well as big jumpers and track trousers, are appropriate for almost any situation.
Everything Goes

Gen-Z is more willing to experiment with color combinations. They aren't scared to mix and combine colors that aren't traditionally worn together to produce a trendy and comfortable look. Do you want to wear pink pants with a vivid orange cardigan? Gen-Z would not hesitate to do so, and neither should you!
Small Sunglasses are Back!

Since 2017, tiny sunglasses have become all the rage, with Generation Z being the most closely linked with them. While superstars like Rihanna, Gigi Hadid, and Selena Gomez were among the first to embrace the trend, young people are still gravitating toward smaller frames.
While super-thin rectangular or cat-eye glasses were trendy in previous summers, GenZers now appear to prefer tiny, spherical sunglasses from the 1960s and 1970s.
