Lauren on Style Analytics

You should try to get data from NRF! Also, wouldn’t mini skirts declining in volume be an indicator? I thought minis decline when There’s a recession. Can confirm we wore less of them. There are some other things we can review which may or may not be relevant considering how much overall trends have changed for genderless dressing but here’s a few from when I lived through the Great Recession. Ombré or grown out highlights - nobody can afford their double Process color At home nail kits / polish Boyfriend / oversized fit for everything - jeans, t shirts, blazers, cardigans In general slouchy fit - flowy tops, skirts, dresses, batwing cuts, slouchy suede boots. T shirts layered under everything, even for work We still wore heels but they had to have a platform for comfort, in general everything had to be more comfortable. Single sole stilettos started bouncing back in 2012/2013 Sheer clothing. Less fabric was cheaper lol Lastly we dressed a lot more modestly than pre recession. The recession was not a time to Show a lot of skin or wear flashy logos. Logo bags and jewelry declined in popularity.
