Last decade, we lived in a “hyper” era. Hyper trends (shoes that ate a shoe that ate a shoe), a hyper focus on look-at-what-this-influencer-is-wearing (#DiorSaddle) and don’t get me started on some of the weird stuff that we wore, quite literally. Said trends hit the runways before exploding on the ’gram and fizzling out within a season – you know what that means.
Hence, it’s our duty to welcome the practical dressing trend back into our lives and introduce you to a few variants of it – a slight throwback to the ’90s where fashion was slower and more purposeful, and even if you like to get dressed in the dark, was something that would make you feel and look your best. After all, we don’t live like the 1% of the population (here’s looking at you, stars of Bling Empire) and so, we’d like to present to you some practical dressing trends for our hectic lives which won’t take over – well, our hectic lives.
THE CLASSIC WINDBREAKER
Once the kind of things your mountaineering, track and field or stuck-in-the-’90s man-in-your-life used to wear, the windbreaker does not just have a practical dressing trend appeal. Its charm lies in how the designers have given it the “fashion” treatment – a graphic twist, a happier shade of good-news-no-black-or-white and a street-style edge – without it losing its practicality.
