Thrifting and DIY’s

And when it comes to fashion, that often means turning to thrifting and second-hand shopping. Because honestly, why buy new when you can give something pre-loved a new lease on life?
Gen Z has totally normalized the idea of repurposing and upcycling clothing. Not only is it better for the planet, but it also allows us to create truly one-of-a-kind pieces. Plus, you're less likely to show up to a party wearing the same dress as your bestie.
And get ready for this, in 2023, even more Gen Zers will be whipping out their DIY skills and creating their own clothes and accessories.

The time of the Blokette
Get ready because there's a new trend on the horizon that's gonna be huge - it's called blokette fashion! It's a combination of two popular styles from last year: the whimsical coquette look and the sporty, soccer-inspired blokecore, inspired by Bella Hadid’s aesthetic. The great thing about this trend is that you probably already have most of the pieces you need in your closet. All you need are a few key items like a cargo or denim maxi skirt, a track jacket, and a pair of Adidas Sambas sneakers.
And, speaking of Bella Hadid, her unique aesthetic is also expected to be become a popular trend among the general public, not just the fashion insiders. This means we'll likely see knockoff versions of her looks in fast-fashion stores. So be ready because you'll see a lot of her style everywhere soon.
