If there is one thing that the zoomers, more commonly known as ‘Gen Z,’ have established in the fashion world, everyone owns their fashion sense.

Fashion means something different to everybody, and everyone gets a different thrill when they experiment with different trends.

Gen Z is notoriously known for breaking away from the norm, from the tradition, and keeping their unique self, their individuality intact, right in the center.

And that reflects in their fashion as well. Take examples of some popular known Gen-Z icons like Billie Eilish or Jaden Smith, who are irrevocably themselves in front of the entire world.

So without further ado, let us dive into the fashion world and its trends around the Gen Z.

Top 10 Fashion Trends

1. Comfort Over Anything Else

Gen Z has mastered carefully balancing the right amount of comfort and still making it somewhat fashionable.

Especially after the work-from-home setting and the pandemic, the choice is obvious for people if they want to choose fashion or comfort. Comfort beats everything, and if it can become fashionable, it is a win-win situation for everyone.

Some fashion looks that scream comfort can be outfits consisting of leggings, bike shorts, oversized jumpers, track pants, and so much more.

2. Make It Colorful

Colors make everything beautiful. Another thing that Gen Z loves is trying new things, new colors. If they like the color, they will try their best to incorporate that same color into their wardrobe in some or the other way.

So think of an outfit like bright pink trousers and a bright orange cardigan? Or a vibrant blue and green combination? The possibilities are endless when it comes to color!

3. Fluidity

Going fluid and gender-neutral with clothing is another positive thing Gen Z has brought up in the fashion world since they have a better and more fluid approach to gender compared to the older generations.

4. Punk Academia

Punk academia is an aesthetic that is relatively one of the newer trends that people from the millennial generation or fashion enthusiasts from that generation could have never imagined.

However, once celebrities wore this aesthetic, Gen Z took no time to make it a hit, and from then on, the rest is history.

Consider an outfit like tartan miniskirts to oversized mohair sweaters for this punk academia aesthetic.

9. Basics
