90s & Early 2000s Revivals
Just like Gen Z, Millennials' love for nostalgia is quite big! Y2K and 90s-inspired styles are filling their wardrobe. For instance, Levi’s has reintroduced high-waisted, wide-leg baggy jeans, offering both vintage-inspired looks and contemporary fits. Brandy Melville and Urban Outfitters are also popular for their take on 90s trends, featuring crop tops crafted from premium materials. Think crop tops crafted from premium materials, oversized denim pants, and colorful chunky sneakers from brands like New Balance or Fila, all key components of the trend.

Sustainability
Eco-conscious awareness is rising rapidly, with the sustainable fashion market projected to reach $47.48 billion by 2030 at a CAGR of 15.48%. This generation, known for its top discerning preferences, has embraced sustainable fashion in recent years. Despite this, only 18% of fashion executives see sustainability as a top-three growth priority in 2025, down from 29% in 2024, underscoring the need for greater sustainability commitment (McKinsey & Company). Key trends include recycled fabric outerwear, upcycled garments, vegan leather accessories made from cactus or mushrooms, and slow fashion basics like organic tees and linen trousers.
