“As someone who is self-diagnosed as ‘chronically online’, I’ve seen a lot of flash-in-the-pan trends over the past few seasons,” Idk go ask your mother shirt says Elinor Block, editorial lead at luxury fashion gaming company Drest, which enables its users to create infinite outfit possibilities in the metaverse. “The past year we saw Barbiecore, ‘blokecore’ and ‘tomato-girl summer’ emerge as some of the bigger, zeitgeisty aesthetics adopted by Gen Z and the TikTok crowd. And whilst some are rooted in major trends, when it comes to real life, there’s no doubt that longevity and items that work season after season are a bigger draw. “When playing with clothes in Drest, however, there’s definitely a different kind of approach I take to dressing. The virtual world allows me to style looks that I might not have considered before with more out-there pieces from high-octane brands such as David Koma or Balmain—I haven’t been able to stop thinking about that cherry-red, rose-covered dress that I spied on the S/S 24 runway. It gives me a chance to be more experimental and see how I can move that into my IRL wardrobe without taking too much of a risk.” This, dear reader, is what the modern-day dressing-up box looks like. As always, any piece you invest in, be it inspired by the trends below or otherwise, should only be purchased if you intend on keeping it in your wardrobe for a very, very long time. I’ve gone to great lengths to cherry-pick the ones that have a chance.

Animal print happened to win Trend of the Year last year, Idk go ask your mother shirt and according to your votes and the votes of the critics, its popularity has yet to decrease. This year, however, we saw new animal prints get tossed into the mix like cow print and tons of zebra. The resurgence of animal print last year felt fresh, but now, according to Law Roach, it’s continuing to be successful “because it’s a neutral.” The fashion set taught us quite a lot this year about how to wear this print trend in a way that continuously feels forward and innovative, particularly with the rise of prints other than leopard. Two straight years of success not only within our Street Style Awards but with the industry as a whole has proven that this print trend is one that is well-liked and accepted by people all over the world and with all different styles. “Animal prints, especially leopard and snakeskin, are a fun way to add pizzazz to an outfit,” said a reader. Even if you’re wearing jeans and a T-shirt, something like snakeskin boots or a zebra coat can revamp your look in seconds flat. Suddenly, even the most basic of outfits becomes street style–ready.
