In this trend report, I’ll break down some of the key movements shaping fashion in 2022 and beyond.

Y2K Nostalgia: Turn back the clocks to the early 2000s, because that influential era is making a major comeback. Think low-rise jeans, butterfly clips, choker necklaces – if you loved the styles of 10-15 years ago, they’re reemerging in a big way. This retro trend allows consumers to express their personal aesthetic while celebrating the fun, carefree vibes of their teenage years. At Up Two You, we’re tapping into the Y2K nostalgia with section dedicated to channeling early 2000s girl power.

Comfort over Formality: After two years of pandemic living, consumers want fashion that’s versatile yet cozy. Sweatsuits, bike shorts, and chunky sneakers previously reserved for lounging are now being worn proudly in everyday life. Formality is out – breathable fabrics, relaxed silhouettes, and concealed elastic waistbands are in. At Up Two You, we’re emphasizing the softer, comfier side of casual fashion so customers always feel good in their outfits no matter the occasion.

Personalized Styling: With social media shaping self-expression, consumers crave unique looks that reflect their individual personalities. Mass market fashion is out – customized, individualized pieces are what consumers prize. At Up Two You, we’re tapping into this demand through an expanded personalized styling service where customers can customize colors, monograms and silhouettes to their precise tastes. A personalized touch allows them to showcase their authentic selves through their wardrobe choices.
