From the rise of Barbiecore to the take on the Miu Miu miniskirt, viral trends come and go at breakneck speed. As a platform, TikTok documents the popularity of these aesthetics more quickly, as the About page aggregates users’ interests, putting people on new trends almost instantly. In a few moments, we see them everywhere, including on the social networks of celebrities.
These popular styles, which quickly ebb and flow from the public’s favor, are often expensive ventures that rely on our tendency to consume impulsively in order to appear “in the know.” But just because an item seems to quickly fade from the mainstream doesn’t mean it’s an instant clothing faux pas.
For example, Miu Miu’s micro mini will continue to be an interesting and memorable silhouette that can be worn enough to incorporate into your wardrobe at a steady pace. (That is, you don’t need to throw it away once it becomes unpopular and instead let it inspire your ongoing sense of style.)
To keep you up to date with some examples of these viral fashion trends, we’ve compiled a list of the latest looks that are buzzing on social media, the streets and celebrities. With a variety of clothing and accessories here – from colorful, crocheted shrugs to oversized headphones that look straight out of the ’90s – you’ll find something to suit you, along with a reason to follow the aesthetic that seems to be on everyone’s radar.
