Trends are dead! Or not? The times of “the” hairstyle of the year and “the” skirt length of the season are over at the latest since the internet creates what feels like 20 new trends a day. It’s difficult to keep track of things, but if you take a closer look, you can discover clear tendencies.
BILD has summarized the hottest trends in fashion and beauty for all generations.
Teens und Twens
For the youngest category, a time we’d rather forget stylistically is considered excitingly retro: the early 2000s. Baggy, low-rise pants, middle parting and even tattoo-style Ed Hardy shirts again have all been revived by the TikTok generation.
▶︎ That’s what the women wear
Gen Z girls are grabbing the hottest looks from 2004’s Bravo. Hair full of ironic hair clipson the Incisor sticks a Brilli and the makeup is either extreme, with bleached eyebrows or even Gruftie-Look like Wednesday on Netflix, or so minimal that even acne pimples are sported with pride, but with something Lipgloss.
Handbags are small and unusual, and clothing hangs like a sack or shows a lot of skin – preferably both at the same time. I’d love to fancy nails.

▶︎ … and that’s the men
Boys have long since lost their inhibitions about supposedly “girl things”: earrings, Pearl and shell necklaces, Nail polish and subtle Make-up are no longer a rarity. This also reflects the fluid boundaries of gender and sexuality in this generation. Big shirts, wide pants and also Pullunder are a must for these teens and twens. main thing not tight!

Millennials (25+)
This generation also likes to look to the past for style inspiration, but much further back. Series like “Daisy Jones and the Six” about a rock band in the late 70’s bell bottoms, Häkeltops and two-piece suits, are an inspiration, but it is not a Woodstock revival, but interpreted in a modern way. Also eighties favorites like terry cloth and Retro-Sneaker find their lovers.

The style is playful, but also dressed up. A tight top or short jacket is combined with wide jeans, rather than heels heavy boats or Sneaker attracted. The hair is playful, with Pony (longer, but sometimes very short), for Dutt pinned up or cut short. Subtle no-makeup makeup is usually the motto, sometimes with a lipstick accent. Instead of a handbag, people like to distinguish themselves with one Burlap bag from your favorite cafe or the intellectual magazine “New Yorker”.

Remember Marty McFly from Back to the Future? Imagine him with an iPhone, beard and tattoos. layered looks bomber jacketshirt and t-shirt combined with straight-cut, low-rise jeans, Fleecejacken and a ironic Basecap or a wool hat all go well with this style. If you want to break up jeans and a t-shirt in summer, grab a terry cloth polo shirt or combine a tank top with a gold chain and a light shirt over it. Anglerhüte or “bucket hats” complement the look.

Elder Millennials and Gen X
In their late 30s, many (but not all!) lose their urge to regularly reinvent themselves in terms of fashion. Many women and men at this age tend towards classics and minimalism. The color palette is reduced to black, white, navy and grey, but colors from nature are used as accents. You no longer have to follow every trend, but you have the self-confidence to make small statements.
▶︎ That’s what the women wear
Black, long coats like Cocoon are now an integral part of the inner city of large German cities. Depending on the season, woman contributes to it sneakers, Stiefel or Birkenstocks. The hair is either freshly washed and blows loosely or tightly back in the hair ponytail. This woman hasn’t worn tight jeans for years, but the boyfriend cut has also given way to other cuts. You rarely see dresses, but when you do, they have long sleeves and long legs. One big handbag (simple, black leather) gets you through everyday life, but in the evening it can also be a little smaller. The makeup remains subtle, but a few statement earrings make the look chic. When going out, however, some resort to the subtle „Contouring“ a la Hailey Bieber.

▶︎ … and that’s the men
The suit is no longer mandatory in most jobs. Many men are therefore on light jackets over T-shirts or Turtleneck dodged. Also Sweatshirts (in new condition) have become socially acceptable. The trousers are looser than they were a few years ago and the Bottom fold trousers has liked an elastic waistband at least since the pandemic. sneakers and boots are suitable for the office as well as for everyday use. The flashing ankle of the last few years is slowly but surely out – the fabric can do something hanging over the shoes.

Even though fashion always propagates youth and vitality, many designers secretly target middle-aged people and older: children out of the house and a good income mean lots of money for shopping. In this generation, both men and women finally dare a little more.

The days of uniform fashion are over: long live the individual!

A Overknee-Stiefel under the knee-length skirt looks more stylish than the pumps or ballerinas from the day before yesterday. leather jackets or Culottes look cool and classy and you can make statements with beige and taupe by combining them with colours. Hairstyles and glasses also reflect personality instead of appearing uniform. And please no skinny jeans more. It pays to try something new!
