The fashion trends I notice

1. The undercut still going strong and thank the agnostic god for that.
2. ADIDAS
3. Girls dressing like Poetic Justice Janet Jackson
4. Athletic clothes becoming popular
5. Health goth fashion becoming popular

Might shape things up a bit and equalize them. The 90s and early 2000s were full of them.

I haven't noticed it a lot where I live. The URL does have "UK" in it so it's probably a popular trend in the UK? Idk.

Athletic clothes becoming popular? Hasn't that been a thing for YEARS now? Unless you're talking about something else.  People walk down the street looking like they just came from a gym or a basketball court. Especially those humongous basketball "shorts" of some kind of shiny material that practically swallow up the entire person.. I wish it would become unpopular. The athletic clothes trend also lead to the sweatpants trend, which I'll never understand. I can't believe people feel "dressed" in sweatpants.

It has been a thing but lately it's felt like the trend has taken a more 2010's fashionably 90's inspired direction.

And I kind of feel like "not feeling dressed" is maybe the point.  :)

And here are Health Goth examples for those who google has banned from using their search engine:

Darker clothes especially dark green and black seem to be coming in strong.

I haven't seen any crop tops in public but one thing I have super noticed (cuz I'm a thirsty f@g) is the return of short shorts. Believe it or not but it's a real trend among teens and college guys.

I didn't mean that as in "not feeling dressed UP". Casual is always fine by me. I meant "not feeling dressed" as in "not really wearing enough to hit the street". Like wearing pajamas in public or something. Unless you're (the late) Hugh Hefner, of course, who made a thing of wearing pajamas in public.  Jeez, sweatpants seem like they could so easily fall or be pulled down. They're just not "enough".

I think the wearers see it less as wearing pajamas in public and more as wearing gym clothes in public. I might be wrong, but that's the vibe I get.

There seems to be a trend (in the UK at least) for putting "Adidas" stripes down the sides of normal trousers (pants)

I think that fashion seems a bit gay IMO.
