It's like Gen Z just decided to give a big finger at Millennial fashion and back to the 80s and 90s lol. Same thing with music (Sabrina Carpenter, Olivia Rodrigo - very retro nostalgic style) and hobbies (rollerskates and board games are back).

Naaaah, pretty common, we had the same thing going on in the early 2000s.

60’s fashion revival, then 70’s, then 80’s.
If anything I do agree this time is going faster.

The new style have subtle differences from 80s and 90s and 2000s, the name tags are not that noticeable or cartoonish (Jinko), the pattern is more even no that much flair at bottom, the jeans are not that different they look like regular jeans just bigger unless the carpenter style, there is cropping vs tucked in, the accessories are a bit different such as the key chain, there is more sneakers and formal attire mixing with casual, more vintage.... My point is similar but not the same @ulrich (me thinking it was the same made me make tooonssss of mistakes at the beginning you will look off).... This one is more proportional and better executed....The tats different is patch vs tribal, the same as the placement of the tats, earings different, jewelry different....

is similar not the same.... I know cause i was doing baggy in the 90s and 2000s this one.... I thought the style was going to die at the end of last year, just got stronger (not good)....

I disagree that it took too long, is been around since corona.. Just like what happened with screeners gamers that dissappear with tinder, now back and the "traditional gamers nlprs and the like, dissapear" just like game fashion goes in cycles...

for the gunwitch 3 keys (social, emotional, sexual)....- if you are not doing baggy you will not have the social so you will have a harder time with a horrible already sexual market place.... (hate talking like a pua nerd, but for you to understand).... i am talking the target demo 16-28...... But now women can't even find skinny jeans at stores, so women hit the fashion faster just like skinny jeans...

That’s why I think this style is not going to last that long.
Every single fast fashion brand has already jumped into the trend… at this point it’s impossible to find a tight fitting t-shirt to buy… they don’t even sell them.

We are already in a late majority stage of the adoption curve.

Not true. I was wearing a tight fitting cropped tee for the majority of summer last year until late fall. It was a mix of girls who liked it and a lot who didn’t get it. If your style is catering to the top 1% of fashion girls, the majority of girls will not get it. So your style needs to be tailored more towards the girls that are the followers.

For example, the adidas sambas were embraced early on in 2023 or even early as the top fashionable sneaker. It wasn’t until 2024 that I started seening it get adopted by the majority of college girls walking around. So a different reaction if you wore that shoe in 2023 (only early adopters would get it) vs 2024 (early/late majority).

Very Early cycle male fashion styles

- japanese workwear (billowy)
- pleats
- grays olives taupes
- Dick Tracy villains purples and greens (needs to go through the fashion houses first)
- Polo / Tampa 96


(Predictions)
Who even decides this stuff before the young influencers hear about it... Like the individual designers who are at fashion week and such? Then to celebrities, then it gets adopted by the more mainstream brands? What are you basing these predictions on?

My guess was that designers are pushing their own teenage coming of age nostalgia like @Atlas IV point on stranger things... Creatives in their 40's pushing out their 80's fetish... Then there was girls wearing like slipknot and system of a down t-shirts with the doc martens never having heard the bands...

Just wondering who to watch for what comes next, prior to any social media influencing.

I haven't watched the video yet, but other than covid homebody influence, I always thought baggy style came from unisex anti misogyny like all these red carpet actresses started wearing super oversized suits, like anti feminine form fitting, co-opting the man in power uniform. Then Andrew Garfield red carpet suits went baggy oversized, I was like wait isn't this a feminist thing...

Will also add that this is very American-centric fashion. Have not seen these trends catching on in Asia much (saw just one white guy in China with the shaved-sides curly mullet + tight shirt + baggy jeans etc, and he stood out like a sore thumb lol).

Same deal in Spain and Brazil as I was there last year, which very much have their own trends. Though baggy pants do seem to be popular almost everywhere with variations. In Spain for example it looked like plaited dress pants were far more popular than jeans, whereas in Brazil it's definitely more jeans.

Japan is also way more locked in with the US in terms of denim. They take regular blue collar manual labor workwear and make it to the highest quality standards. Same with some ivy league trad fashion. Other than the USA white oak cone mills that shut down, the made in US brands often use Japanese fabric.

Yeah the rare time I see a guy in super baggy, his whole outfit is on point like he is very into fashion. It's not like average guys have hopped on the trend like with the girls.

The point. No matter how much this talk about late majority. The simple fact of the matter is that, even tho this style is not new (90s fashion became popular in 2020 post covid thanks to TikTok) yes it’s still rare you’ll see it. And girls will react the way the guys who embrace that style, tell you they will. But please keep the on with that. “I don’t care about baggy” I’ll take my skinny jeans thank you very much”

Is funny to see my former wing saw how I got better results and his results went to shit, i begged him i offered to pay from my own money for a makeover cause we were not congruent hanging together he with his milleneal outdated style... He just quit clubbing completely since he couldn't take the reality distortion...

Exactly. Also economic, political conditions will influence the cycle as well. The young influencer themselves (or their stylist) can kick off a trend if it’s picked up.
The trend itself can play out over months or years. Take nirvana Tees as an example. (Side note: I think Kim kardashian was wearing an Agnostic Front tshirt once hahahaha)

my predictions are decently informed guesses; I have no authority to base my
Guesses on other than my tastes and what I observe around me (downtown NYC, Amsterdam) and fashion magazines that I buy and friends who run magazines. I have a deep interest in it and I’ve my own shirts.

there are trend forecasters out there who spend their days looking at this stuff and figure out terms like normcore which names and captures where the momentum is at any given time.

out of those guesses maybe 1 or 2 will play out. I’m pretty certain shillouettes will stay boxier for awhile though and luxury brands will tank over the economic downturn. I think designers will look to outflex each other and return to older 1930s/40s cuts for the outrageousness. Hence my Dick Tracy guess.

i usually ignore female advice but i really like this genz girl, cause she nitpicks and she really gets it, i think she is learned from boyfriend tbh, she is more into baggy though....

cool video.. she is a good nitpicker for sure. good tip on not wearing sizes too big, and instead get jeans designed oversize... or get them altered... waist and butt have to fit. also rips have to be from natural wear, not bought like that. very interesting how into 70's trousers she was, and especially pleats... I guess it's paired with tee shirts though... that is so dorky with a button up.

today I had a meeting with a girl wearing a blazer, a blouse, and baggy style dress pants that fully covered her chunky heel shoes. huuuge pants. I complimented them and she bought me a coffee. I saw baggy light beige on a hot girl today too. spring color...

in the vid she said wear structured fabric, not light fabric. so what are you guys wearing in the summer?? or at venues where girls dress up a bit in mini skirts??? also what archetype/identify/self-image is this... "high school senior who doesn't do his homework"? "professional ig influencer"? maybe artist painter or graphic designer... Skills you must be a real enigma to the ladies... how do they make sense of a successful older man who dresses like he is gen z...

She is good a bit bias, and is her opinion no the gospel.... But she is the typical gen z girl, and matches what i learned making millions of trial and errors even with spike help and others help (and even in my mustache video i notice my crop is not cropped enough due to i was not paying attention, i was focus on the mustache)... But she is the closet to the most practical i seen talking about the bagggy style, and the pov of women in the field when it comes to gen z(GEN Z HATES SKINNY JEANS), as you can see she is the sweetest girl there is and she repeats how much she hates skinny jeans a million times.... I will post the whole series and add to the op, cause is really practical for baggy for shorter guys, heavier guys..... Also she talks about accessories in other videos. (though a lot of the things she said i have been talking about in the last 3 years reviews and the how to adapt to gen z)

unfortunately i am in South Florida so i just do tons of accessories, and tshirts i can not do layering, jackets etc... it will not work in my area and the type of game i do is very active involves some dancing.... When i go out is night, my vibe, style and value (highest value in the dance floor), all helps... Gen z girls as i sound like a broken record are really sweet and friendly in my area very afcish and very conservative..They don't see me as a succesful older guy they see me as a really cool guy that makes the night fun and know what he is doing.... They don't see me as the typical older guy (i am a really outlier, the night club also help me with my deficiencies look wise and i do a bit look frauding such as a fake fade).... Also the competition is awful to be honest...

I am going to edit and put the 4 part series in the op...
