You might be curious as to what a microtrend actually is. To be honest, it’s hard to pinpoint, as so many aesthetics are having a moment right now. But generally speaking, microtrends are an offshoot of the overarching trends showcased in the designer collections. The beauty of microtrends is that they don’t require heavy investment on your part and are significantly easier to weave into our daily looks.
Often, a single buy can sum up a larger trend very succinctly, allowing you to tap into the mood without compromising your carefully honed personal style or overhauling your existing wardrobe. Sometimes it’s something as simple as a fresh colour combination or a new way to wear your basics. Regardless, a microtrend will encourage you to switch up the way you get dressed, which is something I can certainly use to break up my tracksuit monotony.
Of course, microtrends exist year-round, but I’ve noticed that they seem to peak in winter when fashion people are looking for exciting ways to style their coats and jumpers for the hundredth day in a row.
