I ran into this babe down in the East Village and I absolutely loved her look! Lets pick apart the trends she’s wearing.

• Bucket Hat ✅
• Chunky Boots ✅
• Utilitarian/Functional Coat ✅

The utility/functional style of clothing has been a massive trend, from cargo pants, to purposeful jackets, to chunky boots! Her boots and her jacket perfectly coincide with this direction in fashion. This style of dress can be easily adopted into many different clothes and accessories, along with the fact that it can be produced in multiple styles and color-ways. The result is something for everyone! Articles in this category, such as cargo pants, are extremely popular and are continually being innovated into new, cool designs.

She is also representing the widely accepted trend of bucket hats, which is one I know I have been loving. They are so easy to wear and add a little something extra to your outfit! They are now available in all sorts of colors, fabrics, and patterns and are the cherry on top to you outfit sundae!

I found this guy thrifting at Buffalo Exchange! Lets see what trends he was sporting this day.

• Graphic Tee ✅
• Chunky Boots ✅
• Shearling Leather Jacket ✅

Comparing to the first picture, we see a repetition of some items! Dr. Martens are so HUGE right now, whether they are platform, basic, short or long. Again, under the umbrella of utility clothing, this style is growing rapidly among all groups and can be found at all price points. These kind of boots are an easy way to introduce this style into your wardrobe if you’re too scared to go all out.

Graphic tees are becoming a staple in most peoples closets because of they’re effortless coolness. In a society like today, efficiency is key. Graphic tees are so easy to throw on and look like you somewhat tried, who wouldn’t want one!?

Alongside the tee, we see the highly popular shearling leather jacket, which is a jacket taking a home in numerous closets. The growth in popularity has resulted in a wide variety of color-ways too! Retailers of all price point have created one of these jackets, so there really is one for everyone. The design is not too innovative or scary for the average consumer, but is still fashion-forward enough and is bound to make any outfit look cute!

Oh hey, it’s me! Here is a picture I had my roommate take of me clothed in some of today’s trends. The trends that I am wearing:

• Bucket Hat ✅
• Animal Print ✅

Funny enough, I am wearing the same bucket hat as the lovely lady in the first photo! I told you it was a trend I was loving. They are useful when its sunny and you want to block your face, and the faux fur or fuzzy ones keep your head nice and toasty when it’s brisk out. They are also appearing on current runways and influencers so I don’t think they’re going anywhere anytime soon.

I also love animal print, which has dominated the industry and you can now basically find it in any store, in any style and in every kind of print. They are all the buzz right now. It can simply be transcribed into almost any fashion category, whether it’s small details or accessories for the non-trend setter customer, or a zebra coat and platforms for a girl like me.
