@nickthrowsafit: Fashion follows the economy. When times are good, style is bold—when times are tough, we go practical. Ever notice how secondhand shopping booms during recessions? How about trends like fisherman aesthetic, eclectic grandpa and old money aesthetic? Let’s break down how economic cycles shape the way we dress. #fashionhistory #economy #secondhandfashion #y2kaesthetic #eclecticgrandpa #oldmoneyaesthetic
My fashion psychology professor once said: "If frills and ruffles are 'in' be aware, you are living in times of war. If military elements are 'in' you are living in peace." :')

the rise and fall of micro trends. you could buy clothes in 2012, and they would still be in fashion in 2015 (if cones correctly) now it's every month something different

Not to mention the rise in workwear as trends: blazers and dress pants, crisp button ups etc. as people either return to the workplace or are job searching during these difficult economic times

00s really expressed a youthful and funky style for young adult women (19-25). Now that same age range dresses as if they’re in their 30s-40s. The funky youthful look slowly disappears.

It’s not economy, but sociology, economy being a reflection since it’s also a social science

Interesting, but doesn’t rlly apply to younger gen imo. I think the nostalgia factor might explain the interest from late gen Z/early alpha for y2k style but for a different reason than security 1/

On the flip side social repression can lead to bolder fashion and art . We are likely to see more color coming back after a decade of beige and grey neutrals being in style

interesting take…i think it could also just be the cyclical nature of fashion where in something bold becomes not bold when everyone is wearing so the stylish begin adopting a new style

For me it actually is a style choice. I don't really like trends, so I focus on good quality classic pieces, that suit my body 🌷 But what you said is true of course.

Same with interior design! Ppl have wanted to moved away from modern/sleek open all white and stainless steel. Ppl are thrifting and basically making their homes reminiscent of their grandparents home

Isn't there a direct correlation between dress length and the economy as well? The worse the economy, the longer the dress and vice versa?
