Nostalgia and Retro
Another trend that is predicted to influence fashion in 2024 and beyond is nostalgia and retro. As people faced difficulties and hardships during the pandemic, they also sought comfort and joy in the past, and reminisced about happier and simpler times. They also appreciated the beauty and charm of vintage and retro fashion, and appreciated the craftsmanship and quality of the clothes and accessories.
Hence, nostalgia and retro became the main inspirations for fashion in 2024 and beyond, and some of the styles and items that represented this trend are revival, which brings back and updates the trends and fashions from previous decades, such as the ’70s, ’80s, or ’90s, such as flared jeans, shoulder pads, or chokers; heritage, which honors and preserves the traditions and cultures of different regions and countries, such as tartan, tweed, or embroidery; and nostalgia, which evokes and recreates the memories and emotions of one’s childhood or youth, such as cartoons, toys, or games.
