In the past five years, fashion has undergone many transformations, reflecting cultural, environmental and technological changes. Definitely some of the trends that have emerged in the last few years will die (thank goodness), others will definitely remain in the years to come. Let's find out which ones we think are.
1. Trench Coats
A timeless wardrobe classic, (Burberry one of the iconic brands for this garment) it has undergone an evolution in recent years. While it used to represent an basic garment with neutral colors, today designers are reinventing it with a modern twist, maintaining its functional essence but adding a dose of originality and style. They present it to us in oversize variations, innovative fabrics and bright colors.
2. Blazer Oversize
Another trend that has taken hold is the oversized blazer. This garment traditionally associated with formality has, become a key element for a more relaxed but still sophisticated look. Often worn with jeans, the oversize blazer offers an interesting contrast between structure and fluidity, and representing a bold and versatile style statement, perfect for a casual-chic look.
3. 90s and 00s Aesthetics.
The nostalgia of the 1990s has dominated the runways and streetwear in recent years. This decade has made a big comeback with key elements such as crop tops, high-waisted jeans first, and low-waisted jeans later, plaid shirts, and chunky sneakers. This throwback was influenced not only by style icons of the era, but also by a desire for simplicity and comfort without sacrificing a touch of rebellion.
Makeup also took the lead with darker contoured lips and finer eyebrows.
4. Trouser Suits
The pantsuit, a symbol of empowerment and femininity, is back to dominate the fashion scene. Revisited with a modern twist, it has been adapted in a variety of shapes and colors. This versatile garment lends itself to a variety of occasions, both formal and informal, showing how elegance can also be comfortable.
5. Cargo Pants
Born as a functional garment, cargo pants have made their big comeback, especially in the world of streetwear. Featuring large pockets, they have been reinvented for a more style-conscious audience. Often paired with tailored garments or luxury sneakers, cargo pants represent an interesting mix of practicality and trend, ideal for those who like to combine comfort and fashion.
6. Vintage
The passion for vintage has exploded in recent years, with a growing interest in vintage accessories such as handbags, sunglasses, and jewelry. These pieces not only add character to an outfit, but also promote a more sustainable approach to fashion. The return to vintage pieces celebrates the quality and uniqueness of items, offering a break from the standardization of fast fashion.
7. Earth Colors
Natural shades have dominated recent collections, with shades of beige, brown, olive green, and ochre taking the place of brighter hues. These nature-inspired colors not only reflect a growing ecological awareness, but also a desire to return to a more restrained and relaxed aesthetic. Earth tones are ideal for creating sophisticated and timeless looks perfect for any season. They are also the fundamental basis of a phenomenon called “Capsule wardrobe.”
8. Eco-Friendly Fashion
The focus on eco-friendly fashion has grown exponentially (thanks in part to social media),with more and more brands adopting sustainable practices in the production of their garments. These brands include: Stella McCartney,Patagonia and Arket,part of the H&M group.
Recycled materials, organic fibers, and low-impact manufacturing processes have become key for many brands wishing to reduce their ecological footprint. This shift is not just a trend, but a necessity, which is shaping the future of fashion.

9. Layering
Has been one of the most popular trends.This consists of wearing multiple items on top of each other, often of different lengths and materials, to create a complex and sophisticated look. This technique allows simple outfits to be transformed into original and eye-catching ones, while also allowing them to adapt to different weather conditions with ease.
Layering fits perfectly with the idea of a sustainable wardrobe. It allows you to make the most of the clothes already in your closet, combining them in new and creative ways, without the need to constantly buy new ones.
10. Minimalist Fashion
Finally, minimalist fashion has been growing in popularity. In a world where consumerism has reached exponential levels, the return to clean lines, neutral colors, and simple cuts is a natural response. Minimalist fashion is synonymous with timeless, understated elegance, where quality materials and perfection of form prevail over the excessive. This style has been echoed by many designers (such as Calvin Klein and Raf Simons)who, in recent years, have been trying to reduce the visual chaos of fast fashion.
