If I were to describe sartorial trends from the last five years in a single word, it would be: textural.
Whether it’s pairing tulle skirts with baby tees à la Carrie Bradshaw, inception-accessorising by clipping fuzzy Labubus to cult handbags, or using safety pins to reconfigure vests, long sleeves and maxi dresses into something almost sculptural, Gen-Z (and those of us hovering on the cusp of Zillennial) are more interested in wardrobe customisation than ever before – despite, or perhaps in spite of, the endless churn of microtrends.
