While flashy Y2K-inspired fashion dominated most of last year, 2022 will see the return of the late 2000s/early 2010s Tumblr aesthetic. Coined by trend analyst Mandy Lee, “indie sleaze” is all about dive bar nostalgia, skinny jeans and provocative American Apparel ads. Meanwhile, The Cobra Snake’s vintage party images archive have rencently taken over the Internet and are inspiring 2010s-fashion enthusiasts.

The #euphoriahighschool challenge–where normcore-looking students get changed into bold, Euphoria-inspired outfits–has taken over TikTok. The genderless cut-out garments, with deconstructed, body enhancing silhouettes reach out to dystopian fashion and the subversive basics aesthetic, a term coined by TikTok’s trend analyst Agus Panzoni (AKA @thealgorythm) to describe “basics that rebel up to the point of losing their utility”.

Outdoor pandemic gatherings are propelling a more hedonistic take on gorpcore. Fashion lovers are getting creative with their technical outerwear, customizing it, or choosing neon and retro styles (like the ones from Gucci and The North Face collaboration). Mushroom mania, psychedelic fashion, rave culture and the survivalist trend meet in this aesthetic, which is ultimately about engaging with nature in a deep way.
