Much has been said about the pivot away from the quiet luxury trend. In fact, enter the era of everything all at once, where mixing trends, eras and ideas is the new way to dress. Take a few swipes through fashion TikTok and you see that is exactly how Gen Z is shopping — a thrifted piece here, a new piece there. Remixed and reimagined in joyful ways. Quiet has left, and joyful, optimistic dressing is in.
