There's been a lot of discussion in recent years about how fashion has stabilized over the past couple of decades whereas it used to be that fashion was in constant flux. Can we notice much difference between the typical street clothes of today versus those of a decade or even two decades ago? The clothing styles of the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s are all quite different. Perhaps the lower quality means the industry now has a way to guarantee constant product sales so they're no longer pushing fashion trends as hard as they used to.
Trends certainly do still come and go, especially for young women, but overall society seems to have settled into a state of low energy for fashion change.
- alabastervlog 2y agoMight have something to do with "trend forecasting" companies coming into vogue and quickly becoming standard for clothing companies (among others) starting in the '80s, leading to more-conservative offerings. The Articles of Interest podcast had an episode about it, weird and (of late) influential world I had no idea about.
