[@alisonodette]

couldn’t include all of the countries/cities but def let me know if you want part 2! 💗🌎

[@johannaa217]

yess pls part2! it would be awesome if you could include berlin/ germany in the next video!

[@3llasart]

Maybe Copenhagen 😁

[@Dhriti_Agnes]

Yes add other countries too

[@kerri-annereyes8696]

Australia because we are heading into summer so it’s just so weird

[@Edible_Kittens]

I was so shook that Singapore didn’t mention any trends haha. Would love to see a part 2!

[@Edible_Kittens]

15 - 24 year old Singaporeans tend to catch onto trends fast. We’re known for having one of the highest internet usages in the world. Art schools have extremely online fashion. Jorts, ribbons, maxi skirts, mary janes (SO popular now), doc martens, vintage camisoles, leg warmers, bloquette and Y2K styles are quite common. Acubi, hypebeast and sporty styles are VERY popular, but that might be because it’s easy to wear in our tropical weather. Lolita fashion is surprisingly not hard to find if you go to our downtown area, due to the amount of anime fans and conventions. But I’d say the average person dresses in Uniqlo (we have a joke that it’s the unofficial uniform for uni students). Thrifting is also on the rise, but only in my circles. It’s easy to find a mix of both colourful, maximalist and neutral/old money/basic in more populated areas, like in Bugis, Suntec, Orchard. But usually the richer neighbourhoods will favour more ‘basic’ and ‘clean girl’ aesthetics. Regular neighbourhoods just have a graphic shirt + 2010s denim shorts fit. Edit: It’s interesting what you said about smaller cities catching onto trends slower. We’re a small nation too. Definitely felt this was the case for Singapore 6-7 years ago, but it’s crazy how much influence TikTok has had already. We tend to follow trends, not be original. But we catch up very fast compared to other southeast asian countries.

[@alisonodette]

Thank you so much for such good insights on Singapore! This was so helpful 🫶🏼 will be including it next time

[@ts5778]

I love this type of video!!

[@ts5778]

I’m in the Bay Area and the styles worn differ based on social circles. People that are from a more urban circle tend to wear more grunge, alt styles. So more baggy clothes, styles influenced by rappers and artists: chunky jewelry, lots of Nike, colored eyelashes, baddie aesthetic, shoulder bags, y2k, cargo pants, and also sleek buns with the bangs styled straight. People who come from a more affluent home and go to a private college tend to wear more simple and “clean” trends like yoga pants, corduroy unhemmed jackets, rhode cases, slick back buns with no bangs or baby hairs, long white skirts, and straight jeans with a cute small top. Also their makeup is more “clean” so no heavy black eyeliner, no thick lashes, and choose instead to focus on blush and freckles. They are less experimental with their look and more so take on what their peers are wearing so more homogenous. I’d say college kids are the ones most experimental with styles and as we grow older, we tend to settle for styles that are purposeful. So tevas for shoes, lots of aritzia for tops, LV never full for the first bag, lots and lots of trendy makeup and skin care, and backpacks and brands tech bros wear. Some people really do go all out with their aesthetic. So I went through a Instagram baddie phase in college when my friends did not. Some people took on a clean girl aesthetic and stuck to it. There’s so much to shop and wear here but I think people are more focused on the grind and fitting in as opposed to being creative and finding their personal sense of style. Idk if this comment helps, it’s also only what I’ve seen in my area!

[@alisonodette]

thank youu! 💗 and yes of course, thank you so much for going so in depth, will be looking into making part 2!!

[@AveryJane98]

This was incredibly interesting, please please make this a recurring series! I live in the American west and have been experiencing something similar to Texans: “western” wear like cowboy boots, suede jackets, double denim, etc are now trendy and it’s made me feel more comfortable embracing styles I saw all the time growing up but thought were too “rural” to be cool.

[@alisonodette]

thank youu! 🫶🏼💗

[@roseifyy]

I'm from Argentina and I can confirm that people dress really basic here because of the terrible economical situation (more than 250% yearly inflation), but our interpretation of "basic" is very specific. basically, everyone tends to wear oversized graphic hoodies (or plain tank tops when it gets hotter) with baggy jeans and absolutely EVERYONE has a pair of Vans. the "Milipili" style is what most girls wear when they go to parties but is rarely seen in the daytime (at least where I live, which isn't the capital). I hope this helps, I love your videos! 🩷

[@alisonodette]

Ohh vans being the trendiest shoe is super interesting! thank you so much btw 🫶🏼💗

[@blushandberries624]

I am from Norway and here I see a lot of online trends, but also see real life specific trends that are big in our national media/online world. It is funny because when I lived in New York some years ago people there were just staring to adopt a lot of trends that had been huge real life trend in Scandinavian years before

[@alisonodette]

I’ve def been seeing a rise in popularity of the ‘Scandinavian fashion’ term during the past few years, a lot of people tend to confuse it with Copenhagen style as well, specially on tiktok!

[@lu1aaax]

i live in manchester,uk. its quite a "quirky" city where self expression is widely encouraged. for footwear, id definitely say youll see a crowd full of adidas, not just limited to the samba. youll see all sorts of funky colours of spezial and samba, neutrals are obviously very popular but also a lot of baby pinks, "cherry red" etc. new balance is also INCREDIBLY popular such as the "dad shoe" etc and a lot of girls who wear a sort of clean girl/athleisure hybrid wear new balance. the city has lots of universities and schools so from 16+ you see a lot of trends being worn, however sometimes i tend to find that the outfits that are very very trendy almost look costumey in a way, for example lots of leopard print on an outfit mixed with tonnes of red has started to almost look like a costume despite the outfit subjectively being quite nice. it just looks very over the top and "brainrot" compared to a lot of the VEEEEERY quirky and crazy outfits that you find in manchester that just happen to be peoples individual styles due to mcr being so open and unique. I think clean girl and clean athleisure is very popular, however when fall comes around everyone sort of converts to the very timeless trench coats etc and brown leather, sweatshirts,boots become very very popular. once you go into the outskirts of greater manchester this can change drastically, leading to a recent trend of saying "how it feels to wear a city centre outfit in_______" as these surrounding areas are lot less trendy and a lot more "chavvy" (likely due to the economic disparity. overall i thnk a lot of trends can be seen in manchester, ranging from ALLLL different styles as we have lots of international students so we see a lot of typically east asian trends etc, but there is a fine line between the very much overdone trendy outfits and the nice ones

[@lu1aaax]

forgot to mention that streetwear 100% dominates the trendy style in manchester. some tend to go for the same streetwear youd see elsewhere ie stussy , baggy jeans however "uk streetwear" is also very popular over all months of the year ie lots of very very colourful nike tns and airmax, nike tn jackets, football jerseys (as manchester and england overall lovvvvvves football) and other things

[@alisonodette]

thank you so much!! 🫶🏼💗 will def be including Manchester in episode 3!! So informative

[@serriak2221]

I'm Australian I can tell you we are trendy. But we don't do all trends like feathers but we pick n choose according to our aesthetics. So if mine is romantic edgy rocker so I added roses, fringe, moto & western boots trend this year but I already do trends. But we add them accordingly.

[@alisonodette]

oh so interesting! so you’re more selective, makes sense

[@alisha9197]

I am from the netherlands and a wide leg jeans are really in everywhere

[@samanthachase117]

i’m from california, pretty close to LA. i see a lot of jorts, long skirts, camo, and coquette-esque bows in hair and stuff like that. and LOTS of baby tees. it definitely depends on what area of LA you’re in but overall i’d say most people lean towards athleisure type fashion, probably because of the heat? definitely less adventurous fashion than i’d expect in like new york

[@alisonodette]

so interesting!! thank you so much for the insight, I def felt like I was missing another pov. So interesting how such a big and popular city leans more into athleisure than trends, could totally be because of the heat.

[@uchi3v]

Poland here! I agree with how it's dependant on age, from my observations in the city that i live teenagers mostly wear oversized hoodies and very baggy jeans, usually in neutral colors (grey, black, jeans are light/medium) and they mostly have long hair, sometimes styled. Trendy but they still wear things that I feel like internet moved on from a little bit already. There's plenty of alternative people too. Recently when I've been in Warsaw I've noticed that their fashion was a bit different, clothes were more simple but there were much more up to date with the current online trends, like flat ballerina shoes, i'd say kinda bella hadid style. I haven't seen this many people dressed like this in my city (which is also big). The style was simple yet classy, plenty of short skirts paired with a baggy long sleeve top. But like yeah, VERY simple, not much patterns, alternative people wore just all black often, the clothes just had an interesting shape, but they were pretty quiet. As for adults, it's like in the video, skinny jeans, tho some wear straight leg, but I feel like adults in smaller cities wear the same style that we wore in 2015-2019 :D

[@alisonodette]

So interesting! I think experimenting with fashion can sometimes die down as we grow older, btw Warsaw is the biggest city in Poland right? Making it the most trending oriented

[@uchi3v]

@@alisonodette Yes, it's the capital!

[@travellingaccordian]

for toronto and canada more generally: other than athleisure and winter wear, our biggest brand is Aritzia which is very clean girl office wear style. their work trousers and leather pants are super popular.

[@alisonodette]

ohh i love aritzia!

[@livakregere708]

hiiiiii! reporting from from riga, latvia, haha. here people are definitely trend conscious and u can deffo spot more than a few trends everyday despite latvia being a rather poor and unrecognisable eastern european country. trendy shoes like sambas, onitsuka tigers, birckenstock bostons, mary janes are huuuuge. for jeans baggy and wide leg styles are the norm, especially for young people, but skinny jeans still dominate for a bit older or less financially fortunate people. along with baggy jeans, jorts were huge this summer along with blokette and especially bloke core for the boys, which i find really interesting that if guys seem into fashion they will definitely lean more into street style influences. for for the more mature young people I would say they fall into either quiet luxury/classy cool girl style trends(waist coats, bottega woven leather bags etc.) or the urban hipster aesthetic reminiscent of the 2010s. love this video idea!! 🩷

[@alisonodette]

first Latvia comment! thank you so much, such interesting information💗💗

[@lfglws]

I‘m from a small-ish town from germany (roughly 30k people) and go to high school, but I also know some people in their 20s due to scouts. For them, I see that they wear a mix of straight legged jeans and jeans a bit wider than that, other than that, they don‘t really wear trends. For my grade in school, most dress rather clean-girl-ish. I‘d say around 90-95% of the girls wear mostly straight legged or wide jeans (when they were jeans), some do wear occasionally skinny jeans still. There’s a mix of low-rise, mid-rise and high-rise, none of them are mich bigger than the rest. Other than that, long skirts and bows are incorporated in some way, but not as excessive as online. Leopard print and sambas (and similar styled Adidas Shoes) are rather popular, but a lot of people alos wear other sneakers, some not that popular. Converse are pretty big, but also boots in the winter. For the colder months, people wear UGGs, but mostly the taller ones, and puffer jackets and big scarfs are pretty popular. Long coats are more rare. Fore aesthetics, again, most lean into a rather simple, basic style with accessories. From around 55 girls, we have one who sometimes leans more into online trends, such as heavy accessories and dresses over pants, but thats also what her normal style is like. For boys, I‘d say, there‘s a mix. Some boys in my school dress rather in an old money style, and some in this typical „jeans and shirt“ combination(I‘d say around 1/3 -2/3) where it’s debatable if it is even a style because they don’t seem to care. For the rest, more baggier jeans and graphic hoodies and shirts, as well as Sambas and other trendier shoes such as New Balances also exist. I do would say, that the younger years wear more trendy clothes, and I‘ve also seen trends like bloquette there (I‘m a senior in high school, mist of us in my grade are 18-20). Trends I haven’t seen is basically anything mesh, but I guess dress code wouldn’t allow it and its not as practical in real life. Pther than that, most stuff I‘ve seen before, although a toned down version of it.

[@alisonodette]

thank you so much!! 💗 I kept seeing comments asking me to include Germany but no one had given me any information, this was so helpful 🫶🏼

[@johanna_wk]

I‘m from Germany and I think it also depends where you look, like I have friends that would fall into different categories like friends that found the vintage style for them for ex. And also how much money the people have. Sambas, Adidas Spezial and Gazelle were huuge where I go to school and everyone had cowboy boots and the little white dress thing (It is almost scary sometimes how you see people in the city and everything looks the same🤣)

[@alisonodette]

so interesting! 💗 tysm for the insight on germany

[@valeriemalenfant]

Cool! that was interesting :) I commented on your first video and what I will add is University/school has started and people amp up there style big way this year in Montréal.... I think last year we were still in a fog from the last 2 years and people were still in there sweats and joggers and not caring LOL but I see a shift the last 2 months.

[@alisonodette]

So interesting what you mentioned! I feel like 2023 was kind of an in-between year, I kind of group it with 2022 when it comes to trends, but it feels like in 2024 trends are very defined

[@leagarcia6029]

london: if you see it on tiktok today, you’ll see it on the streets tomorrow 😂

[@AndreaDiaz-rc3iy]

About the Colombian section, I feel that the items that you mention can be seen just in Medellin or Bogotá and are not that common tho and also I feel is more to go out clubbing. For what I have seen in Bogota (the city I’m from) ppl tend to use a lot of sweaters and sneakers and skinny or kind of mom jeans😊. With all these said I think it would be really interesting if u analyze it but comparing different cities of the countries

[@alisonodette]

oh thank you so much!! that’s a great idea too, I’ll write it down! 💗

[@alyssa7974]

Hi from Malaysia! As far as I see for trends here it’s the uniqlo pouch bag, jerseys (and by jerseys, I mean JERSEYS. Everyone wears them here probably everyday even if they’re wearing a hijab) And one thing I noticed is literally nobody wears sunglasses ?? I don’t know why but yeah me too. Skinny jeans are only worn by boys who are stuck in the 2018 trends. + baggy jeans aren’t a trend here, they’ve been staples since forever!

[@alisonodette]

Omg wait the sunglasses part is so interesting! never heard anything like that before, how’s the weather there? Does the sun not come out often? Also, were skinny jeans not as big of a trend during 2012-2019? (Given baggy jeans have always been a thing there)

[@yourlocalbassist]

Hiii I am from Greece Here there are mostly two types of how girls are dressed 1) in the first category are most of the girls. They tend to wear clothes from athletic brands (Adidas, nike) and they try to wear really revealing outfits. Although the whole look is mostly athletic, they tend to wear hobo bags or mini bags. They follow certain trending rules, like no skinny jeans and stuff and the "clean girl" makeup or certain stuff that are trending (sambas, leopard print) but that's it. They combine the whole look with pin straight black hair and long nails. 2) in the second category are girls who are more artistic. They follow a grungy style but even more effortless and less dressed up. Baggy pants, flannels and lots of jewellery are must. They combine the look with a a tote bag with a funny text written, an underground artist blasting in their headphones, a wolf cut and a beer in thr hand Personally, being in a band and frequenting places with other musicians, I mostly see looks influenced by the 70s and 80s (that's also how i dress myself) but generally, in uni and out in the streets i see almost every girl to dress as I mentioned above.

[@alisonodette]

So interesting! 💗 thank you so much for the insights on Greece! Will be including it next time

[@nicoleanstedt]

California used to be a huge place for trends to start but that stopped in the early 90s. Check old newspapers-they talk about it.

[@alisonodette]

will totally be looking into it! thank you💗

[@Jeffersing]

gotta disagree, NYC is where it all starts. (as far as what you see in LDN that is)

[@alisonodette]

could be! or could it be both? maybe the fact that most influencers are settled on both nyc or london has something to do with it

[@dani-xw3lc]

where is your accent from?

[@alisonodette]

I think it’s heavily influenced by Monterrey, Mexico, which is my hometown in the north. Also known as ‘regio’ accent, I’ve noticed only people from my hometown have that accent, and it defs translates into english at times, along with my mannerisms lol
