When we talk about Generation Z , that is, all those born between 1996 and the beginning of 2010, we are referring to a cohesive group deeply influenced by the digital world. Growing up with smartphones in hand and connected 24/7, the young people of Gen Z have naturally developed a very particular taste, which is not just a way of dressing, but a real form of personal expression . Indeed, this generation is literally obsessed with fashion , embracing a series of trends that define their unmistakable style.
Scroll down and let's discover together some of the most loved trends by boys and girls of this generation, through the style of celebrities.
Underwear on display (for him too)
Exposed underwear is no longer just a female prerogative. Gen Z has embraced a more fluid approach to fashion, breaking down gender barriers. For both him and her, exposed underwear becomes a real style element: boxers and briefs peek out under low-waisted jeans.
The return of capri pants
Capri pants, which many of you will remember (not all happily), are experiencing a resurgence in the Gen Z wardrobe. These three-quarter length pants, which stop just below the knee, are a cross between long pants and shorts, ideal for those looking for comfort without sacrificing style.
Summer boots: why not?
Who said that boots are only suitable for the colder seasons? Gen Z challenges conventions and loves to wear boots even during the warmer seasons. Whether they are Texan, combat boots or high boots, this trend tells of the desire to experiment of young people. In summer, boots are often combined with light dresses, shorts and short skirts, creating a very interesting contrast.
Bandanas: The Return of Cult Accessories
Once a symbol of rebellion and rock style, bandanas have made a major comeback thanks to Gen Z. This simple piece of fabric can be used in countless ways: tied around the head as a headband, tied around the wrist, around the neck, or even as a top. The versatility of bandanas makes them a perfect accessory to add a personal and cool touch to any outfit.
The Tank Top: A Simple But Essential Must-Have
The tank top, a simple and extremely versatile garment, has become a must-have in the Gen Z wardrobe. This garment lends itself to multiple combinations, ranging from casual to more classy . Tank tops, often available in neutral colors such as white, black or beige, can be worn under oversized jackets, paired with jeans or elegant high-waisted trousers for an effortlessly chic look.
Printed T-shirts
Printed t-shirts are another mainstay of Gen Z fashion. Featuring creative prints, logos, inspirational quotes, or abstract designs, these tees allow young people to express their personalities and interests. Often purchased at flea markets or streetwear stores, graphic tees are a unique way to express who we are through what we wear.
Vintage Inspiration: 90s & Y2K
You can't talk about Gen Z fashion without mentioning the return of the '90s and early 2000s. Today's youth are looking back with nostalgia and curiosity to past decades, bringing back iconic pieces like high-waisted jeans, crop tops, chokers, and oversized sweatshirts. Vintage inspiration blends with modern elements, creating looks that blend the past and present in a unique mashup .
Vintage shops and second-hand platforms have become true temples for those looking for unique and original pieces.
