11 Gen Z Style Trends That Older Generations Should Adopt
HuffPost
It's not all Y2K 2.0: Gen Z is increasingly a high-style fashion force to be reckoned with.
It’s always a safe bet to look to the past for style inspiration: You can’t go wrong if you’re borrowing Brigitte Bardot’s patented cigarette pants and cat eye look or channeling Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy’s sleek white blouses and minimal color palette.
Still, it doesn’t hurt to draw inspiration from younger generations from time to time. Sure, some of their street-style trends may give you bad Y2K flashbacks, but Gen Z is fast emerging as a high-style fashion force to be reckoned with, said Elizabeth Kosich, an image consultant and founder of Elizabeth Kosich Styling.
“Think Hailey Bieber’s statement-making minimalism, Gigi Hadid’s freewheeling freestyle looks and fashion darlings Molly and Reese Blutstein’s signature DIY creations, which ooze with homespun charm,” she said. “Gen Z-ers might just be onto something.”
And they’re onto something that could easily work for older gens, too. (Yes, you as well, millennials. Stop clinging so hard to those skinny jeans.)
Below, stylists like Kosich share 11 trends beloved by Gen Z that older generations should consider adopting.
