2024 TREND PREDICTIONS 👀🔮 (with an ex-fast fashion designer)

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Be honest did you eat soup while watching this ( ͡◉◞ ͜ʖ◟ ͡◉)

[@Sweetinfernalcreature]

I want to eat soup, but I’m in traffic, listening along while my little one sleeps in the backseat. 💜

[@kMerdzanArt]

Nope. I’m eating an egg and cheese wrap, though… 🙃😘🍳

[@jessicaparkerillustration]

Yes! I am eating a delicious bowl of clam chowder for lunch while I watch this 😂

[@HazelShade]

I ate onion rings yum yum

[@nasecoo]

Cold breakfast burger babyyyyy

[@mattisosterling2151]

Love not having a tiktok, every so often i get told stuff like "tinned fish is trending" like it's WW2 and we're on rations

[@popejaimie]

It's wild that tinned fish is trending so hard that I know you didn't just make that up because I also heard tinned fish is trending a few days ago

[@RioRav]

Some tinned fish can be really expensive too and they are a delicacy. There are entire cafes for it in my country of Portugal, the tins come in hundreds of very beautiful designs with different luxurious spices and local olive oils and you eat them with fresh breads and other tapas and beer or wine as full meals. The fish in our tins are gorgeous looking and tasting not some grey sludge like in cheap stores 😅

[@chloerose1342]

REAL!! quitting TikTok healed my soul…but made my entire generation unrelatable to me. what are y’all ever talking about. tinned fish?!

[@krk6216]

I heard tinned fish was good for you was I lied to? 😂

[@krk6216]

I heard tinned fish was good for you was I lied to? 😂

[@CaroleBoulware]

Re: sustainable celebs - Jane Fonda hasn’t worn a new item of clothing on a red carpet for a few years now. She only pulls from her own wardrobe to bring attention to fast fashion and disposability!

[@jaybee4118]

That is a lot easier for someone who is 86 and has been very rich her entire life! I mean, good for her and I hope she carries on and inspires other stars to do the same… but it kinda rings a little bit hollow when you consider how extensive her wardrobe is likely to be and that she’s essentially well past being a coat hanger for designers.

[@ImpulseKombucha]

She also attends tons of climate protests and has been arrested at least once or twice!!

[@silentlyfree]

@@jaybee4118 I completely agree with you, but I also still think this is probably a net good. Maybe not by a whole lot, but still. Because think of all the other celebs that aren't doing this. She could have easily just stayed home in a nice house with a nice wardrobe and ignored the problem until she left this earth. Also consider that there may be more people who will be influenced to think twice about fast fashion. Whether it be her fans or people that come across the article that then get curious why this celebrity has been creating a fuss.. Hopefully more celebs will follow!

[@andreathompson-bg4hl]

She is bringing back the purple leotard.

[@nesekaba]

I'd be so up for more iridescent/mother of pearl/ethereal vibes

[@thewingedsiren9366]

Same... If enough people do it at once, it becomes a trend whether it's in the runway or not.

[@Iquey]

I have had my fill of iridescent unicorn color from 2017-2021, but! I am happy to see more duochrome/color shift iridescents in colors other than blue-purple, white-rainbow, silver-rainbow, and pink-green. I want to see color shifts like Blue-Orange, sunset colors like a pink-blue or fiery Aurora colors like a Green-red.

[@MrAilsaAng]

YES!!!!

[@probablyjustsnails]

@@IqueyI’m hoping it’s less artificial holo, more natural (pearls/mother of pearl, etc)

[@ejlyt9148]

See I love iridescent as much as the next person, if not more But I like it a little too much My brain says OOH SHINY and I just stare at it, getting absolutely nothing done Unfortunately, J hope it doesn’t come back. I need to do work

[@Kaiplaylists]

To tie in with all of the ocean aesthetics, my personal trend prediction is that Shrimp will become the new frogs

[@faeriesmak]

I love that.

[@qwertydeluxe]

@sierra7128 you may be right, and also this sentence is cracking me up 😆

[@faeriesmak]

Same!@@qwertydeluxe

[@juliaw9835]

omg you are 100% correct it's so happening! I already see it on my insta. shrimps is bugs!!!

[@kvweber]

Would love to see artists like SadShrimp's designs get big!

[@eric_the_egggremlin]

I think we should bring back 80s alternative fashion, especially DIY punk and goth. it has an anger to it that we're all feeling, AND it's intensely personalized.

[@jay-rene992]

This is an evergreen fashion IMO yes!

[@DJarry394]

The best. Or Psychobilly. DIY not Unique Boutique, and Hellbunny, although they are pretty cool, but pricey. I am not talking the cliche Lucille Ball knockoffs. Hand painted biker jackets…elder goth, bad boy/bad girl for all sizes. Little to no makeup for women, men can slap on the eyeliner

[@naomivought9317]

I already do that haha

[@joshgonzalez3029]

I PERSONALLY want/expect to see something I’m coining now as “brothel core” I know the name is kinda crazy but hear me out! Basically tying into underwear as outerwear meets Western-ware. Think bloomers shorts and garters/layered stockings with cowboy boots and flouncy blouses/corsets. I think ribbon/bows can def still have cross over here. Lots of fabrics of varying textures like silks and satins/gauzy sheer cottons. Also anything ruffled. I think it could be fun and get a lot of crossover/people can make it their own.

[@jlquire6263]

i feel like victorian brothel will be a thing.

[@SusannahGraceMusic]

The high school theater kid in me just got so excited and now I’m thinking about all those times we had to dress as “saloon girls” 😂😳

[@JessicaLynYoung]

Sounds like you’re describing what we wore in the early 90s grunge. Lots of vintage slip dresses and babydolls.

[@justinegreenaway7196]

She is not an A-lister but an Australian journalist and TV presenter wears only second hand (thrifted) items and she has some incredible looks. Jan Fran is her name if you want to check it out.

[@earlgreydugong]

I was literally thinking about her too!!

[@macieg4052]

I hope celebs start wearing second hand for events and being proud of it! I remember when jenna and Julien got married and julien said they got their wedding outfits from the thrift store and I thought that was so awesome, I don’t know why more people aren’t doing this!

[@veronicamaine3813]

Be careful what you wish for - the Kardashians would ruin your favourite outfits

[@бронза.вафля.конус]

​@@veronicamaine3813forget that, thrift stores would be pricing their stuff at 70+ dollars a piece

[@SapphireWolf1996]

This probably won't be as interesting to other people, but this year I want to try wearing platform shoes. As a tall woman, I've always felt like I'm not "supposed" to wear tall shoes or that I'll draw too much attention to myself if I wear them. Whenever I see cute platforms at thrift stores, my heart kinda breaks when I put them back on the shelf. But I think I'm ready to let go of those negative ideas and just try wearing what makes me happy.

[@aikanae1]

Go for it. I've had the same thoughts, I've always fought poor posture from leaning over. I'd like to shed that too.

[@stace_d]

Same here. I love chunky platforms, but wearing any kind of heel makes me well over 6'1" and that attracts more gawking than I really want.

[@margaretcummings4146]

Hell yes! If it were more practical for my day to day life I would be all over this but alas

[@mialewis9537]

Omg do it. I’m tall and only wear shoes with a large soles, I loooove tall women and want to be tall enough to climb

[@xmas1670]

Tall gals wear your heels! Be seen and tower over those peasants!!!

[@JeanneStrole]

I love the idea of "Nasty Nautical"! It ticks all the boxes, from low key fetish and bondage to the trend forecast of "Punk Pirate" and New Romantic style coming back. Same thing with the knots, a big nod to a ritual bondage BDSM trend. Yahoo.

[@Lily-ig1rt]

I just watched The Lighthouse for the first time and that immediately came to mind when she said that lol. Secondhand distressed wool, chunky knit sweaters, "ugly" pearls and shells, ropes, etc... basically just give me "sailor has a weird sex dream about a beached siren with a giant vagina tail" vibes and I'm here for it lol

[@desertels5119]

I like this, Nautical in a military uniform way is a no for me, but pirate with a twist! Hell yeah!

[@Brian-wx4ig]

Watch me turn up in Ariels fit when she loses her voice, wrapped in canvas and rope

[@hannahroyalty9838]

Punk Pirate makes me think of the Tinkerbell Pirate Fairy and I'm down

[@Iquey]

It definitely goes back to Our Flag Means Death being such a beloved show on HBO too.

[@adobecult]

ok i didn’t know i wanted sleazy cardshark prohibition-era mobster girl fashion to be a thing before this video but now that you’ve spoken it into existence it is EVERYTHING to me… please let me dress up like a scorsese movie every day

[@FionaAnne1]

Agreed. The idea of Cool Girl Cardshark was definitely a revelation moment

[@KelciDComics]

Oh Garfield is already a big fashion statement in indie comix circles. From Detroit to DC, there are artists making beanie hats, shirts, and other "bootleg" Garfield merch (and tbh, I'm here for it. I already have a Garfield bara shirt I got from an indie creator at Small Press Expo. No regrets). I think Garfield "bootleg" is going to get even bigger this year, moving from the indie circles to the mainstream.

[@faeriesmak]

Nice! I love Garfield!

[@hardeggz]

another 2024 trend vid i saw mentioned brooches, pins and patches becoming trendy and i found that funny since i remember in late 20teens how inescapable pins and patches were in the indie comix and art scenes too.

[@enthusiasticaboutbirds]

Ooh, big fan of the mother of pearl idea! Maybe in keeping with that something like a foraging aesthetic? Collecting bits and bobs and mismatched buttons for jewelry, brooches, and other adorrnment? I can already see it happening with bringing charm necklaces and bracelets back, but I would be all for an aesthetic that looks like you went looking for pretty rocks, driftwood, and seaglass!

[@winterlighthome]

Soooo, basically, you've watched me making earrings and hairclips? lol I have a (secondhand) box full of baggies of little chips of different crystals and a jar of (vintage) mother of pearl buttons I often adorn myself with. I like your idea. Yes, please! Foragecore! Green Witch Fashion!

[@enthusiasticaboutbirds]

@@winterlighthome foragecore! Incredible! I'd love to see your stuff!

[@MsJosiejo32]

This is my year of customisation in my clothes. I'm an artist, and I'm finally feeling brave enough to put my designs on things I'm going to wear, and I'm SO EXCITED ABOUT IT!! I'm also planning on mixing up materials. AND PLEASE omg yes yes bring back 80s wrestling style and boxing boots!! Thank you Kathleen for always making me think more about my clothes 😁

[@helenm1085]

Have you come across light activated dyes like solarfast? I've been trying to make my clothes into artworks too and solarfast is excellent on a second-hand tee

[@atuvera9021]

I've been sewing since the start of the pandemic and i wear my diy clothes as much as the other stuff i have. I love that i can choose the fabrics and how i want it to fit. ❤

[@REnos811]

I am completely in for the nautical themes but for a dumb dumb reason. I started watching Murder She Wrote and in one ep Mrs Fletcher wore this bomb ass knitted salmon sweater and I was RAVENOUS for it. And found the pattern!!! So I've taken up knitting and murder she salmoned is my end goal. Wish me luck ᕙ(⇀‸↼‶)ᕗ

[@KathleenIllustrated]

omg! You absolute mad lad. Best of luck!!!

[@improvetheword9691]

Where did you buy the pattern!!! O_O

[@raelinklater7167]

I love this so much! I hope it turns out and I’d love to see the final result somehow!

[@desertels5119]

Murder she salmoned is a great name for a project. Best of luck!

[@margaretcummings4146]

PLEASE I am BEGGING you to share the pattern

[@sunflowerdayze]

I really think the color palette from Poor Things is going to be big in 2024! Cobalt blue, chartreuse green, brighter mustard yellow, and orange! I'm excited for this color palette and will be implementing it into my closet in small ways :)

[@jay-rene992]

I am definitely thinking of Poor Things too! Like the whole textural collage in the ending credits

[@rochelle2758]

Cate Blanchett did only re-wears/alterations (of super high end stuff of course) on the red carpet last year when she was promoting Tar. I'd also love to see more of that. And boro is awesome, especially when it's layered mends of your own much-loved garments!

[@MLiesel]

14:11 To the folks looking to see more handmade and mended clothing this year, another KZbinr I watch, Leena Norms, is doing a year in which she makes and refashions and mends her clothes without buying any new or secondhand clothes. If you like Kathleen Illustrated, I’m guessing you’ll like Leena Norms too!

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Two very powerful ‘Leens!!! (Thank you for this rec 💕)

[@tchaika222]

Thanks for the suggestion!

[@itstulsiii]

The red carpet secondhand outfits would be a video I would love to see, especially with your unique style! Like outfits put together for the different award shows such as the golden globes, oscars. etc.

[@lizzylamming4335]

In 2020 Joaquin Phoenix gained some notoriety for being sustainable by wearing one suit for all the awards ceremonies and I just find it wild that it’s even note worthy.

[@Petlover0607]

It's funny that you mention oysters because I've recently become very interested in oyster aesthetics. Idk! Something about pearls and the organic texture of oysters has been interesting to me.

[@JMorrill]

I think astronomical motifs (stars, moons, comets, suns) are going to get at least a little more popular with the solar eclipse in North America coming through in 2024. I would Love to see more grungy nacre nautical vibes this year! It's the vibe I'm gonna bring into the new year at least. The dishonored games got engrained into my psyche and it reflects in my style I also think that big chunky statement jewelry is going to come back for a season and then swerve into very Dainty pieces worn in abundance- like six or seven tiny silver and gold and copper chain necklaces worn all at once.

[@cosmicf3rn]

Fashion inspired by all the weird creatures in the deep sea also sounds really neat, kind of like nasty nautical but a little edgier. There’s still be knots and sea life themes, but also, “goodness, who dragged you all the way up here?” Submarines and anglerfish and giant squid, yay!

[@TC-rv6sz]

As we struggle more and more with the question of what humanity is in relation to generative AI, I expect to see a general skew towards styles that reflect what machines simply cannot do or that mock machine-generated products and ideas? Organic silhouettes like lumps, rhizomes, asymmetry, branching, deliberate misprints, imperfect mending, extremely worn and faded cotton and fabrics, frayed hems, etc. Actually so much of this video has excellent examples of this "anti-machine" vibe so it was so fun to watch! ❤❤❤

[@faithtrout1181]

I've literally been saying celebs should sport thrift buys for soooooo long!! Thank you! And if they want to go the extra mile, donate that extra money they would have spent on designer to like an animal shelter!!

Aisling Bea is always wearing vintage/second hand! She's amazing. And so are you! Thanks for being so awesome!

[@winterlighthome]

And, she wears great earrings, too! Really enjoyed her on Taskmaster and am always glad to see her pop up on QI.

[@DebMustard]

She is wonderful ❤️

[@spiderside3892]

i really like the idea that more thrifted/second hand clothes will be styled. i think especially with yarn communities striving for hand made "slow fashion" and with all the recent backlash against shien and temu, i hope more people will find joy in supporting small and local businesses and finding pieces they will love for a long time

[@naomivought9317]

Pretty much my whole wardrobe is from thrift stores. And I love every piece

[@cosmicf3rn]

The nasty nautical theme sounds awesome! I’ve been getting more into colorful pirate-y clothes lately, and the oyster/crustacean motif sounds like the perfect addition! Let’s make it happen! (Secondhand and diy ofc, it’s more sustainable and adds to the aesthetic)

[@LadyJBeauchamp]

Definitely agree with your predictions, especially bootleg characters and ‘off’-looking cute animal motifs! Here are some random ones that come to mind: heels coming back, pony hair replaces shearling, brown and maroon with white accents (should we call it gingerbreadcore?), new ways of using crochet/knit, tulle-covered hodgepodge gem embellishments à la Prada from 20 years ago, more interesting hat shapes, croc-stamped patent leather… should be an interesting one! Love your channel!

[@fayanthea3519]

the concept of dopamine dressing really intrigues me as a neurodivergent girlie who literally does not understand why anyone should have to wear clothes that don't make them happy/are uncomfortable even though i myself have definitely also been a victim of this in the past. dressing specifically to make yourself feel happy really seems like it should be the default!

[@tula1433]

Wondering if the self diagnosed neurodivergent trend will go away this year! 5 girls at my job suddenly started to claim ND and they all happen to be following the non binary trend also! So cool how fashion aesthetics like these and emo are more then just clothes but a way of living! Very edgy tortures soul core! ❤

[@fayanthea3519]

@@tula1433 lol who are you and who asked?? begone troll.

[@carmeneulberg4372]

[@isalewis722]

man i’ve been working on an oyster art project for like 2 years and now i’m worried it’s gonna seem like a trendy thing

[@katej3437]

I have a feeling the poured metal trend might lead to some diy fails involving tinfoil. I love the look and hope people find some great ways to continue it. Also am totally here for the dirty nautical idea. Shipwreck core/whale fall core has a ring to it. Boxing boots look super comfy and remind me of the brief moment I searched for majorette boots after watching Dash & Lily. If ethereal is in (which sounds awesome!) I hope people make content about how to make that accessible for like, random day jobbers like me who can’t be too over the top.

[@megdrummond-wilson824]

Shipwreck core! Yes!!!

[@Angryoyster]

I kinda wanna see more people rocking their natural hair. I’m talking texture, colour, and style. Ladies gents and humans rocking the salt and pepper colour letting your greys grow out, or slowing down on the highlights. Letting the puffy 80s hair vibe or the Blake lively messy bed head look. I feel like with the curly girl method, curtain bangs, and wolf cut we have had a lot of heavily styled hair. There was also a lot of fun cool edgy cuts colours and styles. But now I wanna see the more relaxed natural look. My mums in her 50s and has been rocking her greys since the first day they started coming in, I think it would be cool to see other A listers in their 50s also allow the greys to shine.

[@mkultrasurvivor99]

Yes!!

[@Sasha-mb3rv]

Boxing boots had their moment in the 2000s and it was so fun ! I'd take these over the classic sambas tbh

[@pennybergmen8933]

Also plain canvas clothes. Paint your own art on whatever. Dresses. Tops. Pants. I love cotton canvas anyway. But spray dye is fun

[@KathleenIllustrated]

YES!

[@gaelle4328]

sounds fun

[@ImpulseKombucha]

Brooches and wool! I think it goes with the sort of move back toward 80s style, adornment with silly little brooches and shiny bits. I also feel like I've seen so many people talking about wool as a fibre, I think it makes sense with the move toward more 'natural' clothing. Also what I've decided to call 'conspicuous non-consumption' aka the practice of being very vocal online about shopping your own closet, not buying new clothes (see all the people doing the 75 hard style challenge), mixing/matching from wardrobes, rewearing pieces (signature pieces), being more conscious about thrifting etc.

[@raelinklater7167]

I’ve been so bored and uninspired about fashion lately and this video has reignited my imagination!! Thank you!! I loved all of your predictions, and can especially get behind makeup as adornment and our political environment inspiring how we present ourselves. So cool!

[@lanadecimal]

I'm shocked to see you have less than 100k subscribers! You're awesome and inspirational

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Aw what the heck thanks! Maybe by next year’s “trend prediction” video 😉🌟

[@aksez2u]

My first thought about all those repeat "predictions" is that they've just given up and they're going to wait and see what the street style dictates. 😆 I like all your "takes" on where these trends might go!

[@ashleyriddett289]

I would love to see more corduroy everything. Also linen. I'm pretty much a hobbit at heart, so the farm peasant look is something I would like to see more of for 2024.

[@saracub20]

IM SO GLAD you talked about trends already being in current fashion coming up in all of these trend reports ive been noticing that a lot lately and nobody has really said any of that yet to be fair i have not been deep diving as much as i could be but its in general something i haven’t really heard anyone talking about it

[@Racheldorenofficial]

Bootleg merch has been having a resurgence for the past year! Anyway I love all these trend predictions, how fun. I want some of those mui Thai workout shorts too 😌

[@SoVidushi]

I am so excited for the more ocean based style trends, I have a big sea shell collection and I already have ideas for jewelry to DIY.

[@seanaepley3180]

I think there's going to be an increase in upcycling, and adding bits and bobs to existing pieces, such as Twinelle's ties!

[@tchaika222]

I'm not a stylish person by any stretch of the imagination, but I found costumes in Poor Things absolutely wonderful and mind blowing and potentially trend setting. Thoughts anyone?

[@sunflowerdayze]

I totally and completely agree!!! I was captivated by the fashion in poor things and I'm so sure we're going to see cobalt blues, mustard yellows, chartreuse greens, and whites like in the movie :) I'd be so down for that!

[@babynium]

Watching this from the future! I think a version of each were touched on, but most of all a return to personal style and second hand!! Coastal grandma took the place for nautical wear, prompting a lot of folks to dig through their families clothes or the bins at goodwill for such styles (funny that the nautical did come back in this way lol) but i also saw a lot more muted fashion, a retraction of the hyperspecialized microtrends. Brat summer with the lime green was a very cool predicition that came true, especially the brat style with its grungy club femininity. Overall it was very fun watching this now a year into the future, and seeing what came to fruition and what might still be cooking based on trends coming out now 👀 thank you for your video kathleen and i hope 2025 has great things in store for you!!💖

[@deardiary.loveforest]

along with the "handmade and thrifted wardrobe," I'd love to see more patchwork or fabric collage !! I think this also goes along with the slip dresses with printed designs (that I've been seeing recently) in a way :))

[@SoVidushi]

I predict masculine silhouettes becoming more popular and also earth tones, plus darker muted shades (so opposite of what we had in 2023 with light neutrals and bright pinks). Along with 60s silhouettes, colours, dresses and skirts becoming big. I think checker pattern could be more popular this year.

[@astillnessyoga]

The alt makeup is my favorite rabbit hole right now 😍 I hope it takes off!!!

[@maya-gur695]

I've been obsessed nautical motifs, especially anchors, since I was little. All I seem to find in the thrift store nowadays are early 2010's style anchor shirts (anyone remember those?) So I'm super excited for nautical aesthetic to be back on trend!

[@juleslev]

Hi Kathleen! I know body positivity isn't an overt theme in your channel ,,, but you're legitimately the only fashion KZbinr I have come across so far that has a super similar build to me and I just wanted to say thank you! :) It's helped me visualize styling myself through you if that makes an sense (since it can be really hard to be positive sometimes about how things look on me, but when I see things on you, you look beautiful, so it helps me feel more beautiful and confident to try certain silhouettes, patterns, etc) - your channel is like a ray of sunshine, I really appreciate your work! I hope you're happy in your corner of the universe 💜

I think we'll be seeing even more visible mending, like boro, darning, patching, etc. Also I am IN for Oyster Girl October!!!

[@inesnascimento5140]

By far the best video of trend predictions I’ve seen ✨

[@KathleenIllustrated]

Wow thanks! 🥲💕

[@juliecombs4952]

Crossing my fingers for these predictions! BTW Dita Von Tesse wears a lot of vintage second-hand, though idk if shes considered A-List.

[@angelaobscura2146]

Schiaparelli is 100% having a moment and I definitely think we will see more of those motifs this year. I vibe with this as my aesthetic is in the most part black and gold is my metal of choice on the whole. I think there will be a lean towards utility belts, harnesses, pockets. Charms and gems embellishment, agree that pearl and iridescent are going to have a moment too. Trending for me personally... black, always black. Latex/leather - specifically looking to thrift a long sleeve top in that look. Definitely hand made and upcycled - eg. Knit, patch work and personally am drawn to quilted and embroidered items (Olivers embroidered jacket in saltburn to blame) i also am leaning towards embellishment in a big way. Shoes wise I agree with the boxing boot idea though its one I will bypass personally. Big silhouettes and oversize, suiting specifically is a prediction for me even if its one I likely won't follow... and if green is gonna have a moment I am for certain a trwnd setter as barring black its the most common colour in my wardrobe. Anyway... sorry for the ramble.

[@angelaobscura2146]

Oh forgot to say definitely thing thw wrestling shorts is a great development from the men's boxer shorts trend!

[@salask17]

I would love your thoughts on costume design in media but specifically analysis of wardrobe in Poor Things (2023), my partner and I were obsessed with it.

[@tchaika222]

Yes!!

[@gracequalls9770]

I love the rope/harness/big lacing resurgence it's like 80s and fantasy gone haywire. And the playful artistic makeup is something I've wanted to try

[@acetabulumshots]

Some of these predictions ring as cast costuming for a movie/tv series based around Louis L'amour novels. It's old man from the sea, meets old timey sports media (Rocky esque), with a dash of working class labor as an aesthetic...it all kinda feels right for a recession.

[@Phaagraphic]

I worked in graphic fashion for 10 years until I quit in 2023 and the word “chase” triggers trauma in me so bad

[@KathleenIllustrated]

🫣💕 I was in graphics too! I wonder if there’s a support group for us haha

[@Phaagraphic]

There should be support groups lol if you find one lemme know haha 😅 it’s a real need

[@DanceChickaDee]

I agree I love to see more boro boro! And I’m on board with the vintage boxer boots, pearls/oysters, futuristic metallic! I also am seeing 70s style coming back. Noticing jeans dresses and jean accessories which I love. And I’m not fully the into the infer red yet but I think it’s super creative! I do love Schiaparelli carved abs type stuff but some are creepy and off. But I think those ideas are gonna blossom a lot more! ❤

[@Nevencilica]

Watching this in October 2024, nice predictions. This was more creative than this year's or any other year's trends 👏

[@ellabanker3862]

I would love to see your reaction to Hailey Williams tour closet tour, so many vintage and second hand pieces had me so stoked

YES! first of all, love HER and her style is so dang cool. cool celebrity closet tour reactions... hmm... i like the sound of that as a video series!

[@laurenelho]

I work in licensing and Hello Kitty is def gonna be big this year

[@sheristewart2770]

Love it! I'd love to see some upcycled clothing sewing coops pop up! There's so much textile thrown out or bailed and sold overseas. We can do the planet a favor by reclaiming/upcycling and selling, and create amazing livelihoods at the same time!

[@nefertitimontoya]

I tend to look to music subcultures to see what gets big in the underground to mainstream pipeline

[@mkultrasurvivor99]

Accurate

[@prosie1968]

I’m here for sewing, stayed for the shenanigans. I am in the process of a no buy for fabric which I largely thrift and I have so many projects laid out that I need to make a dent. I’m def not into the flattering idea anymore, I wear what makes me happy. I’m of an age where I shouldn’t look juvenile, loud, fun or funky. Boo to that noise. I love seeing what looks like it’s coming down the pike.

[@Vintagerous]

I sell vintage hard good, but I found this very fascinating! Especially the metallics… I’ve been waiting for pearls to come back in style!! Love me some pearly tones!!!

[@frappalina]

I'm a big fan of secondhand flips. I'd love to see that on the red carpet. Not necessarily modifying precious vintage pieces, but some upcycling of previous seasons mixed with discarded fast fashion items maybe?

[@hanonymous1233]

I would LOVE to see you try out boro! I've been wanting to myself - I love the idea of something becoming more beautiful and meaningful over the years as you patch and wear it in!

[@robynnordstrom7799]

Yes! Make it, wear it, mend it! Love it!

AMEN! Dolce and Gabbana's latest women's haute couture definitely taps into the sparkly/molten/heavy structural jewels trend. And Chanel's had a couple of outfits with the faux bikini. I'm talking their very latest runways, so super current. SPOT ON!!

[@kathleenfast6152]

Remember in like 2009 how the jewelry from forever 21 with like a million little pearls and pink plastic roses were like, the coolest? The earrings you had at 7:29 kind of reminded me of that. Wonder if that style is going to be coming back in the next few years. I saw on IG about a gen A kid asking their parent for an italian charm bracelet haha.

I love to thrift flip. Right now I don't have room/time for sewing, etc. (water leak, tearing up carpeting, etc) so I write my ideas for the clothes I've thrifted in a notebook so I can remember what I wanted to do with them. When I'm watching a movie or whatever I use the time to take out hems, make repairs, take off ruffles, etc. so the clothes will be ready to flip when I get back to sewing.

[@laurenloo]

love to hear you lobbying for bootleg-esque merch, i have a whole collection going of unofficial/remixed band tees! (the slayer logo but it says seinfeld, a steely dan song quote but in the nevermind the bollocks cover art style, an nge/tony hawk's pro skater 2 crossover, etc)

[@spigney4623]

Im so here for the wrestling boots. When i was a teenager we all wore puma driving shoes, which looked really similar. They looked amazing with 00s denim mini skirts and leg warmers

It surprises me zero percent (as someone who works at a digital marketing agency) that big online fashion media brands are just riding existing trends that likely come from TikTok. This is a classic SEO play. They don't want to go the way of Buzzfeed, and are scrambling to capture any traffic (mainly away from TikTok) they can get their grubby little hands on so that their advertising platform (aka their website) doesn't become irrelevant and they disappear. Love the JAZZ aesthetic prediction, and might be my new 2024 persona. Just living in a Bob Fosse musical

i love the idea of second hand fashion on the runway/red carpet. my money is on billie eilish if anyone spearheads that. she’s done a lot of work on reducing her carbon footprint and it would be super cool to see her embrace that even more.

[@shelley8730]

Miley Cyrus wore a vintage hooded gown in the FLOWERS video, and an ombre red Gucci bikini, Emma Watson is very vocal about fast fashion waste and has worn upcycled garments. Katy Perry stated in a magazine interview that she used only wear vintage pieces, but she sounds like she was converted to couture as she rose to fame. I love vintage and pre-loved items. Garfield is set for a comeback, or another 80's comic like Heathcliff(?) [Hello] Kitty's dark counterpart, Kuromi is primed to be the poster child for Rory Gilmore turned goth trend you mentioned last video.

[@briannawrightcreative]

Kathleen you may be onto something when it comes to the jazz revival / casino royale vibe! The “Mob Boss Wife” look is trending currently and is VERY reminiscent of your forecast.

[@Soozit]

okay but oyster punk has been my thing with LITERALLY that identical vibe so.... thanks for the validation

[@nicoleradix4694]

I’m very much for the minimalist, second hand, creating your own items, polkadots, and bows 🎀

[@brandiholtz7590]

the whole metallic section is my favorite take, I love all the parts you pointed out! Can't wait to see what comes of it.

[@celestegrey]

I kinda think the opposite with the metallics trend. I think it’s going to be medieval/antique inspired. We’ve already seen suits of armor become a thing on TikTok, and suit of armor style corsets. I think we’re going to see more antique bronze, green-gold, fantasy inspired metallics in 2024 and I can’t wait.

[@jjjjjazz]

Just as you said the word oyster I was about to type oyster core 😂 Love your giant ball chain necklace!

[@ava.artsss]

I think the iridescent trend makes so much sense bc there’s some 2010s nostalgia and holographic is overplayed and hard to style outside of festivals

[@kcmorano]

you absolutely nailed the oyster prediction wtf that actually happened 😭

[@KathleenIllustrated]

🦪ü🦪

[@Curlycurlz]

Can you do a video about how you style your hair? I wish my curls could look as gorgeous as your’s. Could you also do a video about pens? I’m on the hunt for the best black pen for writing. I’ve heard pens from Japan are amazing but I’m not sure which ones.

[@fann458]

I used to work with two some of Brazilian bigger shoe makers on today's market and it's absolutely true, when you walk into the office to see the next seaso drops there's already plans for the next year or so, Brazilian "mid luxury" footwear market is as big as clothes and highly competitive, even if brands drop new stuff every month there's still chance to a unpredictable trend to come up... But most of the times that trend is orchestrated by a competitor every brand I worked for have different strengths but they compete on the same market

[@katrinanelson4061]

As someone who grew up playing in jazz band competitions as a high schooler and have been listening to jazz still into my 20s I am SCREAMING for jazz to become a popular thing so I can be so cool

[@nataliet4293]

I think those trend listings of already present trends is more about what will be produced for mass consumption so get ready for it rather than actual cutting edges.

[@wzrdlzrd3991]

ive seen a lot of mua’s talking about wanting to go back into maximalist, playful looks! like more editorial but silly and colorful…if that makes sense ALSO ive been seeing a resurgence of the newwave/ post punk/ new romantic look

[@JenniferJadeKerr]

Love the called shot about celebrities sporting second hand to fancy shindigs... I'm a big fan of Saskatchewan, Canada musical artist Megan Nash, who has worn Value Village specials to the Junos (think Canadian Grammys) and vintage floral dresses for summer tours (I think one tour might have been the same dress every night too). Megan is a gem, is thrifty, and the music is fantastic!

[@Cucuruchosgrill]

You are so right for casinocore. I think that big colorblocking associated with Americana is going to come back. :p

[@elenicrews2523]

You’re kind of right about the oyster trend because there are sometimes random shirts with pomegranates and oysters on them that are meant to be summery

[@TheGabygael]

I like trend as a way to get inspired and a tool to have a feel of the zeitgeist and make sense of our particular time in history. I look at it through a fashion history lense and I've noticed a fair amount of 80s vibes everywhere in the last few years (might have genuinely been there, might be influences intertwined in 90s stuff, might be leftover from 2010s, might even be my own personal tastes) and I'm glad to see it become more overt and aknowledged, hair this year seems to get quite voluminous and possibly somewhat more severe (80s were a lot more classic than we remember them) and mainly stuff from alternative fashion seem to be into that whole vibe mainly looking at dark fantasy as more of an influence and the movie Lisa Frankenstein that came out earlier this year. I even saw alternative teenager (to my big adult eyes they came across as a mix of e-girls, punk, emo and stoners, probably a style that doesn't exist yet but it looked super cohesive and cool) and they were listening to 80s pop music which warmed my heart

[@Freundinnen100]

Simething I see much more often is wearing different layers. Wearing a Skirt over trousers, habing three shirts in different sizes. This is fun and hopefully get more trendy.

[@marrenhager5126]

vintage has been seeing 50's selling more for a few years, so next up is 60's shift silhouets which follow along with drop waist y2k styles. i think also this year we will hit peak baggy jean. If you haven't already, hunt down a 2005 drainpipe style (think 80's, Ramones) from the thrift they'll soon be hard to find.

[@aristi_cthonia]

I just found a very reasonably priced secondhand pair of gorgeous boxing boots (I was a kickboxer for YEARS and have always struggled finding any in my size as I have ridiculously small feet that make it damn near impossible for me to get my shoes secondhand.) The only logical conclusion is that Kathleen's prediction of boxer fashion was indeed blessed by the thrift gods and her status as their favorite acolyte provided me with enough of a secondhand blessing for the clouds to part so that this gorgeous footwear could find it's way into my life.

[@shayalbrecht5014]

Laverne Cox wore vintage Mugler at a recent red carpet event and it was FANTASTIC!!! I would LOVE more vintage or secondhand on the red carpet. Bring back old runway looks, I would love to see some of my favorite collections again!
