XXL looks, bomber jackets, grunge – all this fashion existed a few years ago. Now it’s just waiting to be rediscovered, as second-hand fashion that also saves resources at the same time. The second-hand online platform Vinted has put together the ten top trends for the coming season. Vinted Marketplace is one of Europe’s largest online C2C marketplaces for second-hand fashion, with a growing community of over 65 million registered members in 16 markets across Europe and North America.
1. Huge please!
There’s no such thing as too big. The XXL look can’t be big enough this winter. Whether wide and oversized shirts, sweatshirts, wide trousers or blazers with wide shoulders, this winter we are celebrating the comeback of the baggy look from the hip-hop scene of the 90s.
2. Business looks
In the working world, the classic suits in the office have lost their relevance and more and more companies are relying on employees being able to go to work in casual outfits. Reason enough to declare these formal looks fashion and to recapture them for normal everyday life.
3. Bomber Jackets
Bomber jackets never go away entirely, they consistently reappear every few years, adding a whole new twist to any look. It’s worth keeping an eye out for classics like bomber jackets on second-hand platforms. Vinted has a wide range of bomber jackets with over 300,000 listings in the women’s category, according to the platform.
4. Grunge style
Nothing shapes the memory of the 1990s as strongly as the US grunge subculture, including the music style of the same name with music and style icon Kurt Cobain. Borrowings from this style of clothing appear again and again in the hottest collections. The casual and “undone” look is also one of the top trends this winter and enlivens our winter months with loose-fitting jeans and perforated T-shirts. There are said to be over 43,000 listings on Vinted under the keyword grunge.
5. Shades of brown
The color has been a thing for a while now on the most famous catwalks around the world. Brown is not only a warm and soft color, but also combines perfectly with a wide variety of tones, from neon to pastel.
6. Platform Shoes
The big fashion houses have demonstrated this style, now it is almost impossible to imagine life without it. Platform shoes not only give you a few centimeters more, they also provide that certain something for the perfect look. According to the marketplace, Vinted currently has around 43,000 listings under the platform/plateau shoes filter.
7. Corset and bodice styles
Corsets are a clear reminder of earlier times, as the garment has almost completely disappeared from our everyday lives. All the more reason to bring it back to life every now and then. Worn in combination with baggy jeans or over a blouse, this creates a cool, everyday look.
8. Tank tops
The classic fine rib tops are not only our loyal friends in summer, but also this winter. They can be styled in different ways, for example with an open shirt, under a mesh top or simply as a classic undershirt to keep the body warm under other layers.
9. Strong colors
If you like bright and bold colors, you can look forward to this winter. Loud statement colors are not only real mood makers, they are also very trendy. You can combine them however you like, there is no such thing as too colourful.
10. Padded bags with chains
Last but not least, this season’s accessory: thick, padded pockets. If they also have pompous chains as a detail or even as a shoulder strap, even better.
