Best & Worst Trends of 2023

[@johncalvinhuntley9274]

The Online vs IRL fashion segment of this video was super necessary, I think fashion influencers tend to rule out trends almost a year before they leave the mainstream. People get bored too easily with trends, something could be "over saturated" on tiktok but you might rarely see that item in real life. Like the stussy 8 ball fleece for example. W video

[@manaphyonfire]

Yeah I never saw a 8 ball fleece IRL and then the trend faded away on Tiktok. The thing is I think it was more of a testament to the reemergence of Stussy as a brand. As I have seen a considerable amount of people wearing Stussy when three years ago they would have never had it.

[@thomasnc]

Exactly. Most people do not dress like that. Only places I ever see this type of stuff is in my school, and even then a majority of kids don't dress like that. A lot of people have a warped view of how popular these trends really are.

[@Drownedinblood]

that old addage about don't be poor and into fashion seems to apply. Insane how fast things change.

[@danielwright568]

100% agree with this. I don't know if it's just where I live, but I don't see these trends out in the wild as often as I would expect. Most people aren't as heavily invested in trends and they aren't half as popular as social media makes out.

[@createbynate]

Man woke up and chose facts as breakfast. I live in the Northeadt of Brazil and i'm not seeing any sambas or jorts or even dunks. Ppl at my town does not dress like the social media tells them to dress, thats very interest

[@shin-ku9ix]

I generally try to stay away from anything too trendy, especially with trends dying so quickly these days but I really hope baggy pants stay around for a while, so much more interesting to me than black skinnies

They've been a trend since 2019 imo. And I don't feel like I'm going to bend to another skinny jean trend bc, bro my balls need to breathe.

[@dennisrovik2357]

Nah, baggy jeans have been trendy for a looong time. I’d even say they’re kind of on their way out (goes for baggy clothes in general imo). Not saying you should stop wearing them when the trend eventually does fade out though.

as an elder millennial, I've been so happy to see younger generations pick up on our old styles like baggy pants, sambas, dainty tops, clogs, carabiners, and huge shorts, not just because it's validating for how we used to dress, but because it encourages second hand shopping. we donated all those styles to goodwill when the ultra skinny hipster aesthetic came around. it's so easy to get on recycled trends by buying affordable used items, and keeps them out of landfills. and some of us olds were smart enough to keep the good stuff in the back of the closet, and can feel cool again :) i've hung onto all my skinny jeans. it's only a matter of time....

[@andrewcoates4952]

Validating? Wtf. As a fellow millennial, this stuff was never meant to come back around and was very lived-in at the moment. Like many peoples emo phase. Somehow it’s come back from the grave

i think the current fashion trends from youth come from what we used to see when we were kids! i feel like a lot of my style comes from what i would see in the media in the early 2000s and a bit of the early 2010s (really just a bit) &&& the 90s fashion i’d see from reruns. i’m also influenced by the people i see every day and some people in the media now. i believe this is how fashion embodies a mix of trends because of the constant recycling, renovating & just overall new. it’s very cool to see

[@nancyshalayeva]

It’s really curious to see how all that stuff from our generation become fashionable for GenZ and kind of irritates Millennials, because we do really tired of those trends like 20-15 years ago and they become a THING yet again. I’m personally wasn’t ready for Y2K to return and won’t fall into it again NONONO😅

[@Amanivajra]

You're the only one I have seen that has touched on the nichification of fashion. Style has become so inclusive compared to when you had to wear specific brands, silhouettes, and styles to be on trend. Although trends exist today, they are integrated into this major shift in the cultural fabric of fashion.

Ever since I started following Korean fashion around 2016 I've been ahead of most trends. I first saw biker shorts in korean stores and then kim k wore it and it became massive. And minimalist fashion of 2018. And the 90s revival that is still going. Cottage core!! There are som many! They are amazing! ** I don't wear most of them, I just notice it

they were doing the turtleneck layering under a buttoned up shirt way before it hit the west, same with pleated skirts and baggy jeans. i think now, they're not so ahead of the curve as before but if you were a kpawpy in 2016 you could literally spot another fan by how they dressed bc it was so different

honestly the way you talk about fashion is so respectful and reverent, you understand and acknowledge the impact of different groups of people and its awesome to me.

[@withloveelli8920]

As someone who doesnt have tiktok the IRL vs. Online Fashion is very real. I saw adidas sambas EVERYWHERE but many of the other trends never really came through to the „real“ world. Even though I live in Berlin and most people are pretty fashionable, on the regular people rather go for function and comfortability instead of something that tiktok would deem fashionable. If you see a trend its normally a Gen-Z and often its very obvious that its not their personal style bit mere a try to be trendy. I personally think more creators should drift back to the „everyday“ -fits instead of trying to create something outrageous to gain attention. Even if their personal style is more out there, I would rather see oitfits they wear on a regular basis instead of the crazy red big boots with a mini skirt and a harness lmfao

[@aliguinn6392]

I absolutely love how you talk about both men's and women's wear. As a girl who exists primarily in the menswear sphere, it's so interesting to hear about the parallels of both spaces and what I can learn from both men's and women's wear.

[@cecrop1a]

it’s pretty interesting that straight guys are doing carabiners now!! definitely one of the most practical ways you can accessorize, im glad more people are trying it out.

[@reganw759]

the ballet flats, kitten heals and mary janes have been some of my favs this year. i didn’t even realize they’d gotten popular enough to be considered a trend, but i love that specifically women’s fashion has been more willing to do out of the ordinary things the last few years

[@NowAndToEternity]

Blokecore is so refreshing right now because they are so ventilated well made for summer, have long history and meaning. Plus, im tired of minimalism where everyone just wear earth tone and look the same.

[@Ray03595]

I think we're moving more and more towards a "there is no trend" being a trend. As you said, most of this stuff exists exclusively online or you have to go to a big city. As someone in NYC very often, even the tiktok trends are not what takes over the city at all. Everyone just has their own style and way of being. Since it's summer right now though, tons of tourists from rest of the country in their standard graphic tees and shorts right now, haha. And I'm surprised sweater polos didn't get a mention for trends this year. They've made a huge splash recently and I think we'll see even more in the colder months.

I think that the fall/winter trends are going to reflect everyone getting a little sick of the constant minimalism. I’m sure there will definitely be a lot of minimalism present in fashion trends but also leaning more towards funky silhouettes and bright colors.

[@CaliKiid714]

As far as overseas goes, one of the trends that caught my eye was the "Dopamine" trend in China. I struggle with putting outfits together that involve super bright colors, but seeing the people over there do it with multiple aesthetics opened up my eyes to the possibilities 😂

[@samantharivera9843]

I honestly commend you as a fashion commentary KZbinr for showing your appreciation and tackling women's wear. Usually, the larger Fashion community that mostly consists of men tends to underrate women's wear so women who belong to these fashion subcultures are the ones left to talk about it in their own communities. Albeit, I'm glad to see that men in the fashion community also appreciate the construction of women's wear because a lot of love goes into them :)

I think the carabiner trend is a result of the cropped tees and rule of thirds trends that you mentioned before. Tops are becoming smaller or "shorter" and as a result, we're kinda seeing the opposite of last decade where it was baggy top and slimmer bottoms. Now much more attention is being paid to what bottoms you're wearing and the belt chains and carabiners are pretty much the accessories of your lower body. I personally love it, I was always a chain-wearer but now I've started adding more stuff to the front belt loops to add to my look.

[@Alan-rw3ez]

I come from a state where there’s nothing but construction workers and people that need keys, it slowly transitioned to dense cities that found that it’s easily customizable with anything you like with keychains and other stuff while also having keys accessible.

[@shaunasugar]

I personally don’t pay much attention to trends whether it’s online or IRL. I just go for what feels comfiest and looks best *on me*. I didn’t even know about most of the trends mentioned in this video until I watched this. It just goes to show how there’s still a huge disconnect between virtual trends and live trends and that virtual life doesn’t accurately reflect the lives people carry day to day. Edit: I have seen crop tops everywhere tho, and personally I’m really sick of it. So many retailers sell tops that are already cropped and it really reduces my desire to purchase them. Crop tops are nice when the outfit calls for it… I don’t want every top to be cropped.

Re women's footwear: Mary Jane's are classics for a reason. They will never go out of style, and I think they've penetrated enough "niche" fashion genres that they'll always outlast trends. Kitten heels though...never liked them, doubt I ever will. They are unbalanced shoes, and are also uncomfortable to wear lol. Oh! And Tabi's - I just don't understand them. Love the ballet flat trend though, lovely to see my age group wearing shoes my mom used to wear when I was younger.

Personally I hope that wider pants/y2k looks and the carabiner trend stay for a long time. Wider pants are so much more comfortable and fun for me as someone who lifts weights and hss thicker legs. I've been rocking the carabiner in the belt loop for a while now for it's functionality, but I remember being made fun of ~4 years ago by one of my buddies saying I looked like a janitor 😭😂 Love how this little detail can express more about your interests and hobbies too! My current carabiner is Madoka Magika themed and it's been a point of conversation with both friends and strangers quite a few times!

[@ky_c_c]

Loved what you said about the Mary Jane/ballet flat/ kitten heel trend!! I think a lot of the styles of them (popular and recently released) are also on the more timeless side. Some look like shoes my mom wore to school back in the day. I think the Mui Mui ones are going to be seen as more trendy but designs like the Sandy Liang ones give a more timeless vibe with the overall shape, fabric textures, and colorways. I also think that this could be a reaction to two social factors, one being post pandemic. People want to feel more put together and feminine even in small ways such as footwear, this classes up a casual outfit without compromising too much on comfort. Even a white baby tee, a dark/raw wash pair of wide leg stiff denim, and ballet flats with a bun or hair accessories and silver or gold jewelry will look very very put together with Mary janes, ballet flats, or kitten heels. Secondly economic, with prices rising I think looking more and more like an employed or employable person is going to be more and more mainstream as a reaction to economic instability.(Peep the quiet luxury moment…. Which I hated BUT I have to admit it also makes sense that people want more timeless chic pieces because given the economy people will be buying less and less and shoes are something that can be infinitely reworn without question unlike clothing items such as tops). We saw a more intense version of this in the early 2010s…. After the 2008 great recession. (When every highschooler was dressing like a secretary to go to 2nd period) Though I don’t think it will ever be as extreme as during that time because of the Gen Z labor mindset. So I think it will stick to choosing one element and implementing it into an outfit, such a khaki color workwear fabric skirts, or pinstriped denim/pants, button up women’s wear shirts, to more subtle elements like footwear or hairstyles like the French twist and claw clips, and makeup styles (clean girl makeup….. looks very much like job interview makeup if you ask me). But I could definitely be wrong…. I mean look at the Mui Mui FW 2023 collection…. It’s giving secretary.

Your vacuum point is true, especially when you get older (that is not to say old people can't dress). Personally, I've been away from social media in terms of fashion, and I feel so disconnected from what is currently trendy. (I refuse to use TikTok, from a mental health perspective). It's interesting, because you, Drew, are technically my ONLY window into this world. I work in a corporate tech setting in NYC, and though I have no dress code and can pretty much do what I want, I almost always just show up in not too polarizing stuff. Sure, I have a Balenciaga Yeezy hoodie, Kith shorts, and dunks. Or maybe a t-shirt, Naked and Famous MIJ, and foam runners, but I'm not really all too worried about standing out. I only seek cohesion in my fashion choices; mostly, I get looks at my foam runners in the office... Also in NYC, other than SOHO, you don't really see people doing anything polarizing in terms of fashion choices, especially in my line of work, most people wear pretty basic stuff, albeit probably lowkey expensive... I've been moving toward more muted pieces like Japanese Americana and am starting to buy things more for the value, material or whatnot. I've long lost my need to be unique, and would rather look cohesive (in terms of my line of work). I'll be honest, whenever I see really crazy fits nowadays, I'm a bit confused since I'm not in the in-group anymore.

As someone who is old enough to see the trends I wore when I was younger come back around I think the downside of Sambas and ballet flats come back around is that they are really impractical shoes that damage your feet and cause further back problems long term.

I remember during 2020/2021 the "House of Sunny, Hockney dress" (the green sundress with circles) was trending on TikTok. I truly thought it was the pinnacle of fashion and that I absolutely needed it. For a year I had my eyes on it when, just as it got out of fashion, a person in my circle bought the dress. After setting my eyes on it in person, I knew immediately that I only liked the dress because it was a trend, not due to my own taste in fashion. Since then, I have been enjoying and eyeing trends, but understand that in reality, my fondness for them rests only online. It taught me to be more selective with trends to not only reduce my own ecological footprint but to save my wallet lol! But I have to say, I love the ribbons and Mary Janes/Ballet flats trend. I already have Mary Janes so all I have to do is purchase some cheap ribbon and I'm set!

I live in NYC and though you definitely see these trends IRL I actually think it’s still at a smaller scale than you would expect compared to how often you see it online. I.e. I have a pair of ganni flats that are really trendy online but I haven’t seen anyone in NYC have them yet. The juxtaposition between social media Vs IRL makes me personally slow down and not feel like I have to adhere to trends to feel fashionable

Maybe it’s a regional/cultural thing but the carabiner on the belt loop is nothing new and I’m surprised it was considered a trend in this video. I’ve found it prevalent in the rock climbing, biking, and skate communities especially. I’ve always hated the feeling of my keys and car fob in my pockets so I’ve been using the carabiner trick since HS. Plus I think it minimizes the chance of losing your keys.

[@Blorboy]

I'd argue that pretty much every existing item that becomes a trend has been prevalent in certain communities already. Using many ribbons has been a staple in fairy kei/lolita communities. Similarly, mary janes haven't really left the preppy academia fashion scene, and have been pretty popular in parts of the cybercore community for a while. When these things become more popular in the public, they start to become a trend. Saying that carabiners are trendy now doesn't mean that they were never worn, moreso that they are now being worn more casually and by people that are not really part of the communities they were originally popular in.

[@SRLovesPandas1]

It's like one of those things that also stem from blue collar/working class communities due to its practicality. I always see people like my dad and others who work in construction, factories, etc. using carabiners. Carabiners also have some significance in lesbian communities.

I think it's interesting that you chose a clip of Jennie's vlog for the South Korean influence part because so many of the trends you mentioned in this video were worn by her!! Now I can't confidently say if she started them or anything like that but I can surely say that she made the Adidas Samba's super popular in Asia and the ribbon/balletcore trend that's been so popular also was part of her oufits for her new solo song. So yeah, I don't really want to fight others that may not think she has much influence lol but I would really recommend following her instagram or youtube to check what she's wearing! At least for me that i'm interested in fashion, I follow her and some fan accounts too and I've been surprised many times by seeing some of the things she wears become popular, she's definitely one to watch!

[@latristessdurera8763]

I can’t wait for autumn and winter! For me it’s the best fashion moment.

[@MikelangeloYoutube]

This must’ve been a beast of a video to edit. But 2023 is the year more than any year where genres are blending together to create new “genres” it’s crazy. But really exciting. But fall/winter blends in with 2024 so yeah agree. This is is good. Good job drew!

that's such a great quote "if your idea is different from someone else's idea, attack the idea, not the person"

[@rikkejonassen1330]

I love the trend of carabiners, and it is so few people that talk about it. But is a really cool accessory and i think it becomes like a type off jewelry for men to spice up their outfits, and i love that

[@rileyjoseph3689]

as far as mary janes go, i have seen some luxury/designer brands like ferragamo, gucci, and prada creating men’s mary janes and have even seen male celebrities like tyler the creator and harry styles wearing them. I personally got the dr marten 8065 and love wearing it in place of a derby to add some interest

[@worm_slop]

I'm so happy about the wide pants trend, they are 1000x more comfortable that anything fitted or skinny

[@deadsheep53]

2023 fashion feels somewhat timeless and resourceful yet still really fun compared to circa 2018 when vintage graphic tees paired with pleated plad work pants, white airforce 1's and a corduroy cap or bucket hat was the pinnacle of street style to me. I graduated highschool in 2017 😅 So its been fun watching niche trends and the mainstream evolve.

[@marianakloak2658]

I think that kitten heels, ballet flats, and Mary Janes are nice because they are cute but also timeless

[@hnguyen218]

Can red boots be considered a trend when clout chasers "wear" them online for shock value but nobody wears them in real life?

[@catiekc7165]

a carabiner is such a staple of wlw culture, my tiny mushroom smoko keychain is The vibe

[@leahlecomte3301]

the whole thing of mary janes suddenly being trendy is kinda funny to me, i started looking for these like 2 years ago and found them so hard to find and now they're suddenly everywhere, same goes for bows and ribbons. with leg/hand warmers and long jeans skirts i've found myself in the same situation

[@jeanellreynolds7291]

I’m new to your channel and you really delivered good information on these trends. I’m so happy your channel was recommended to me.

[@inaya4350]

my faves had to be the straight leg baggy-but-not-too-baggy, cargos, the sambas and the ribbons & bows, just because they were so wearable and refreshing in comparison to the exaggerated trends we've seen over the past few years. i really hope they stay in style for longer :) and i didn't really like the ballet flats and mary janes - i think it's a trend that has to settle a little longer as it hasn't really trickled down into mainstream fashion imo. right now, the most fashionable options are all from designer brands so isn't really accessible which is probably why not many people are wearing them.

[@evelynalvarado5437]

I am not a fashion girly whatsoever but I've been trying to find my own style by trying different trends and finding what I like. This video was everything I needed, THANK YOU!!! Also, I love how the ballet flats and Mary Janes look on everyone but for me... it brings me back to my church days when those were ALL I wore. That's a trend I will not be participating in 🫣

[@Ellz66]

I'm old enough for Sambas to have been a trend previously in my life, got a bunch in my wardrobe, I'm gonna hard pass on this trend, but might be a good time to sell mine 😅

[@lewwwwwww]

Do it! You can probably make your money back in full with how fast they sell right now.

[@Ray03595]

I remember when they were used for their intended purpose haha

[@Ellz66]

@@Ray03595 I used to play indoor football in them when I was younger, so I definitely used them for their purpose!

Thank you 🙏 love your videos and your style 👏👏👏👏❤🙏🇬🇧

[@momoonkissed]

A lot of this trends were a thing on the alt escene long before they became mainstream, so yea, I would say it's just little elements from alternative fashion becoming popular! It also ties into East Asia being trendy, I mean lot's of these accessories have been on Fruits magazine (Japan) since the 90s! Japanese street fashion has always had this playful/experimental side to it! And Korean designers are killing it, some of them are the pinnacle of balletcore haha. Idk what will be trendy for autumn but, for me, it's definitely inspired by Korean and Japanese fashion, muted color palets are my thing, plus focusing on tailored AND relaxed silhouette's at the same time! Plus cute hairstyles and hats, Samba's are gonna stay strong thru the season... Sorry for my long ass comment haha, fist bump!

[@jihadawde6498]

This vid is a perfect start to the next quarter of the year. these videos are definitely going to be timeless

[@opheliaretardanta8348]

I think there have been a lot of trends this year my favorite would have to be Barbiecore because as a kid I would get mocked at because of how much I would wear pink and the color in my closet mostly would predominate now people just accept so thank you Barbie 💖

[@cheesy_ground_beef]

Want to start by saying I love your channel and this vid just made me have thoughts unrelated to your excellent presentation. So many of these (jorts, wire headphones as a belt, carabiner w keys) make me think of the guys I went to high school with (2009-2012). They were called ghetto and/or were free/reduced lunch peeps--which were a significant portion of the population of my Title 1 school. I may have been seeing these in a very specific, isolated context, but they were doing it out of necessity and not fashion. Same vein as brand new "dirty" Golden Gooses, I guess. IDK. I'm also a sensitive baby and my brain is sabotaging itself by not focusing on your incredible discussion points and so many of the trends I'm loving in this vid.

[@ceciliabrown3301]

Just discovered you young man. Very interesting video. Glad you mentioned the issue with fast fashion. As someone who's pre insta and ticktock generation, I'm horrified to see the amount of clothes being thrown away. Looks like people no longer buy clothes to be enjoyed for years to come but just to be shown in one or two posts on social media. Hope this awful "trend" will die out at some point. I'm still wearing clothes I bought 10 or even 20 years ago and if I buy anything new it has to be of good quality that will last forever. Have a great week. Looking forward to your next post. 😊

[@nbandreea]

i think that kitten heels and mary janes have always been classic and timeless

[@tristanwanless7721]

Im personally waiting for cowboy boots to be in footwear next year ever since I got mine I've been the online wearing them and I get a lot of complements but I don't think its hit mainstream yet.

[@Alan-rw3ez]

you need some thursday boots

[@soshicarlo]

I like how you speak of these trends in a positive and curious way instead or criticizing them

[@omgstoptakingnames]

11:53 I did the carabiner thing back in my emo/scene kid days, it was big when I was in high school around 2010, it was mostly with scene kids and hipsters. If you went to a Warped Tour back then you would of saw everyone wearing their keys out on a carabiner on their waste or on a lanyard sticking out of a pocket.

[@karigrandii]

Wierd that its a 2023 trend when everyone used them where I live in like pre covid times like 2019

[@adwin7]

18:19 You are correct about how there is a shift away from brands to genres. I’m 40 and feel like brands were the genres themselves when I was growing up.

[@wooahehe]

wearing your keys on a carabiner attached to the belt loop was all around my school in 2018 and it's so fun to see it everywhere again

[@the21stcenturyishere64]

Love that you are also including women's trends. I love it to see cool women wearing Mary Janes and ballet shoes. Totally agree that women's fashion is just something different. Really enjoying to see trends IRL on the streets of Berlin. To be honest the more I get into fashion, the more I notice that even in my midsize hometown are quite a few fashionable folks bringing trends to the real world. With the samba it is finally a sneaker of the year that I also would totally wear. The past years with New Balance 550 and Nike Dunks were just not right me. Don't get me wrong, really liked the New Balance 1906R with thisisnever that and preordered the Aimé Leon Dore 860s for next year. Just the NB 550s were not my thing.

[@milton.meniquetti]

This was the channel I was looking for!!! What an informative and inspirational video for fashion. You made it in a very inclusive and respective way. I'm looking for fashion channels and all what I see on my researches are people without knowledge or research saying what they think we should use based on trends, you rock it!

[@Seetheairahhh]

13:30 I actually had a friend who wanted to put his keys on his jeans, saying that he wanted to call attention away from his shirt, shift focus in a way. Unfortunately! My friends and I were not as supportive because the key chains were like reaching mid thigh and made him look imbalanced. On another note the "carabiner aesthetic" is reminding me a lot of phone fobs? It almost like the masculine version of this accessory that I mostly see being used in hyper feminine aesthetics

[@lindapena2707]

Kitten heels and Mary Jane’s are definitely a nice staple and they definitely make a nice fit! You can wear these shoes with almost anything!

[@mika-rawr]

i started seeing the jeans with the faded wash in the middle in korean fashion, and i’m seeing it now in the west. and i went to the mall and i saw the fast fashion brands like zara and h&m imitating k-fashion siloettes with the jeans, shoes, etc

[@oluseyialege]

Yeah, I feel like it will because Winter always seems to have the most unique fits.

[@sergiozp71]

Blokecore (soccer/football jersey trend) was also one worth mentioning

[@nana6597]

I can’t believe I missed this video for a month! I love hearing your analysis!

[@spacebar9733]

PVV A: for my style personally, Autumn will have bigger and better trends. I love pink so im really happy with the barbie movie but i think autumn always introduced the most unique trends.

[@xtransxcorex]

i love that overalls, especially just for fashion, is in.

[@martro_]

#pvv I think by august the trends are mostly set but there’s still time for more before the end of the year. Fall and winter fashion is usually more toned down and less flashy and loud.

[@serena.mp4]

i've been with the carabiner 'trend' since highschool so like 2021 and i'm obsessed with seeing others do the same now. it's so so functional (like u mentioned) and adds so much to an outfit (i swear everyone just looks cooler with keys jangling around on their waistband). such a good video too - keep it up!

[@alexoldfield3961]

always a good day when drew posts a video, always feels so grounded and down to earth.

the vintage football jersey, jorts with carabiner, and adidas sambas combo is defo the epitome of 2023 trends
