Fashion trends are temporary movements in style, rooted in the Old English word ‘trendan’, meaning ‘to revolve’.
These fleeting preferences for clothing, garments, footwear, accessories, and outfits reflect societal shifts and individual expressions of identity.
Fashion trends are characterised by their temporality, lasting less than a fashion season, which distinguishes them from enduring styles.
They exert significant cultural influence, shaping and being shaped by subcultured, values, and societal norms.
Interestingly, trends exhibit geographic variability—a trend in London may not necessarily catch on in Tokyo, highlighting the importance of location specific styling.
