I write this post because I'm curious and fascinated about how fashion changes each decade. Ultimately, people should wear what they enjoy and feel comfortable with.
1) Looser fits. Straight fit or wide fit pants are common. Some people wear boxy or oversized t-shirts and sweaters. Slimmer fitting shirts are still worn, especially if you're comfortable showing you're physique, but slimmer pants are less common.
(It's possible that the Covid lockdowns, with people lounging at home, have caused people to embrace more comfortable clothing)
2) High-rise pants. Pants are worn more up to the waist. Shirts aren't overly long. So it creates an aesthetic of longer legs.
3) Minimalism. Less branding, logos and images. Less graphic t's. More solid colors. Less patterns.
4) Less colors. Neutrals like white/black/grey are versatile. Earthy tones (i.e. brown, olive, beige) are versatile. Pastels are a bit less common, but are still worn for particular aesthetics.
5) Workwear. The rugged masculine blue-collar look is coming back. Brands like Carhart's and Levi's. For example, denim jackets like the Sherpa Type 3 denim jacket.
6) Nostalgia. Some of the 90's and Y2K aesthetic is coming back. Cargo pants are back. Chunky sneakers and some of the popular 90's sneakers are back.
7) Facial hair. More common nowadays.
8) Accessories. Watches, ring, bracelet, necklace, etc. Though smaller understated pieces tend to be favored over big flamboyant club chains. And it tends to not be overdone.
Trends from 2000's and 2010's which have fallen out of favor include: Distressed and torn jeans. Skinny jeans. Low-rise pants. Bomber jackets. Large logos. Dogtags.
Fashion moves in cycles. In many ways 2020's fashion is a rejection of the 2000's-2010's trends, and 1990's styles are coming back.
