The coronavirus (covid-19) is an infectious disease-causing people new different needs, one of that is the use of protection products like masks, helmets, face masks, among others with a specific design making that the virus does not enter the immune system. We can see that in this pandemic people start searching for products with new design and now people start to make this a trend, in some cases the protection product does not have the necessary protection but that does not matter, the people prefer the trend of using some products even if it does not protect them of the virus, they use it just to be fashionable. We do not know when the pandemic is going to finish, but I think that the use of these protection products is going to be with us for a long time, making a trend that can be longer than the pandemic.

The fashion or style of people has been especially impacted by the historical moments that humanity has gone through, for example, wars, peace, wealth, crises among many other things. As it is well known, the world is going through a historical event: a pandemic. Covid-19 is a virus that has marked and is marking a very important change in our society. This disease has taken many people, health, things, jobs, but this has given way to something very important that perhaps we needed to take into account before experiencing this historical event, in other words the pandemic lead us to have a moment of reflection. For a long time we have been thinking how to create a healthier and more sustainable world, so the fashion world must not be far behind on it.  In the fashion world, the pandemic has been a sign to adapt to the new reality and apparently to the drastic changes that are coming for fashion. As a consumer, I can give an example, nowadays I am looking for more sustainable clothes because I want to help my planet. My first contribution to have a more sustainable world were  the masks made of fabric, and as a consumer of catwalks, I can say that the fashion industry realized in 2020 that so many fashion weeks in the world were no longer so necessary, since a lot is spent and little is saved at the level of waste or papers, so the best alternative would be to take fashion to a healthier, more sustainable and therefore clearly technological environment. This is why I believe that for the future a basic fashion is coming, which seeks the comfort of consumers while satisfying the need for sustainable garments, it can be made from waste or recycled. I believe that fast fashion is already a fact that it is not a healthy practice and consumers seek further away from it. So for the future I also project curative or medicinal clothes, comfortable and practical. For example something that adapts easily to the weather or can be worn in various ways. I see a basic color palette such as white and nudes, of course the colors will never go out of style and will evoke the nature and environment that we are longing for.

The digital fashion collections will now reside in the digital eCommerce store, where shoppers can purchase garments in the form of an image of themselves wearing the item. At the point of purchase, the shopper uploads a photo of themselves onto which the digital garment is placed, ready for them to share online. These mimics the experience of the brand, but with fashion collections from a growing number of global brands some of which sell both digital and physical clothing.

Companies are now recognizing the importance and respect so great that consumers have for the environment, now tastes are guided by options that have the least negative impact on the planet, so the new trend in fashion will be environmentally friendly garments. Both recognized companies and micro-enterprises will base their entire structure on the sustainable side to survive in the competitive market.     They will change commodity choices, such as:           Organic, Natural Fibers Eco-textiles and To recycle. According to Tyler Little in his book The Future of Fashion (2018) the rise of the circular economy, corporate social responsibility, growing consumer concern, the emergence of the shared economy and technological innovation are certain macroeconomic trends that stimulate the growth of this sustainable fashion movement. As a consumer, I take into account the materials with which the garments were made, I have never agreed with coats that use animal hair, and I feel that this sustainable fashion change is only just beginning as much is to be discovered of this fashion. Just because it's a sustainable fashion doesn't mean that clothing is going to look worn out, or that they look basic, but they can be even more modern than today's. I feel that the trends in a few years will be based on showing what we have put our ideals on, if we wear modern clothing but it was made of environmentally friendly materials in this way we will feel that at least we are bringing it to the planet, and at end this is how young people think.

I have noticed that lately that the animal print trend is once again having a strong reception in the world of fashion, including some other prints such as cow, dalmatian, python, crocodile, giraffe and zebra leaving a little aside the leopard but not at all.  That is why the animal print is an inspiration in the world of fashion mainly in the fabric of prints of furniture and home accessories, in order to give a more daring touch to interior decoration but without leaving the sophisticated;  This can be printed on cushions, towels, furniture such as sofas and chairs that would give it a unique touch.

The future ... the future will give us great innovations and fashion will not be left behind. In my opinion in the future there will be something called the smart clothing revolution, but from my point of view, more than smart, it will be functional clothing. Jackets that will control cell phones, sports shirts that will be able to regulate the temperature. Smart clothing is a reality. With the technology that exists at this time and in the future, our clothes will be able to take calls, locate us with a map and even charge cell phones. The future is really going to bring big changes in the fashion industry

One of the biggest trends of the next decade will be embracing boldness and breaking conventions when it comes to style. One style prediction that will dominate the next decade is the idea of androgyny and playing with traditional ideas of what men and women "should" wear. Celebrities like Harry Styles, Timothée Chalamet, Ruby Rose, are some of the ones that already have been “playing” with this futuristic fashion trend.

To better understand it, it’s vital to explain what the term “androgynous” means. The term Androgynous originates from the Latin word ‘androgyne’ which describes a mix of male and female physical characteristics. ‘Androgynous fashion’ refers to clothing and accessories designed to avoid creating a distinction between masculine and feminine physical characteristics and to express non-binary gender identity. Androgynous fashion styles are NEITHER feminine NOR masculine but gender-inclusive and sexually neutral.

Currently this style holds a lot of stigma, but I believe in the future it will become something far more accessible and many will view it as something “normal”.

There will be an increase use of natural materials such as organic cotton and hemp, Chelsea Bravo used for creating elegant garments that blend style with sustainability, for a more mindful fashion.

We can see that in this pandemic people start searching for products with new design and now people start to make this a trend, in some cases the products do not have the necessary protection but that does not matter, the people prefer the trend even if it does not protect them of the virus. I think that the use of these products will be with us for a long time, making a trend that can be longer than the pandemic.

The COVID - 19 and the quarantine changed the people life in some many aspects, for example how to dress, the comfy and the minimal dressing became a trend for the past year.

Recently I have notice  that these comfortable and minimalist trends worn with coats are taking over my Instagram fashion feeds. The simplicity of the outfit with long coat gives it a elegant and natural style.
In my opinion the next years coats will be escencial in a closet, It is a garment that if you know how to use it can match any type of style.

We have seen that this year people are beginning to be used clothes that are inspired from decades past they are looking for inspiration on fashion and it is expected that many of the most important trends of the next decade will be based on styles from the 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, and even the 1920s, according to an article in INSIDER.

One of the things that most characterizes these styles and that I think are being seen a lot more these days is that skinny jeans will become obsolete and wide boot jeans will come, so you may want to throw away your favorite skinny jeans because the next decade they will be dominated by the trouser styles of the 70s.

As seen in previous posts, the fashion of the past tends to be used again and in this case, we have seen that jackets used by students practicing some sport in American schools have been taken as inspiration to bring garments of the same to the market style, but with the intention that they are possible to use daily and by any person of any age, both men and women.

These school or university jackets have always been a very popular type of garment, thanks to globalization it has arrived in our country and has had great success here too, this is a garment that guarantees comfort and style, and despite the fact that As the years go by, you can always see them in a store and they will continue to be bought. This makes them so profitable for clothing stores and in turn have visibility on the streets and people like them.

In the same vein as TV and film, fashion designers have found no shortage of '90s trends to revive, including the platform shoe. One thing is certain: platforms are high on the trend list this year. As we said before, this trend has impacted for many decades. Importantly, it's a pretty nice trend and it goes very well with style, haute couture and elegance.

Another quite relevant factor for this year is the giant boom that it will have in the spring-summer seasons. Also, remember that it is not a trend that is going to end, since these last generations are bringing back the old style.

As we already saw, the  fashion industry sticks to any trend in the industry. In this case, solar power has gained a lot of attention nowadays, but it's usually in the context of technology or architecture. Nevertheless, there has been a solar-reliant fashion movement and its definitely going to change the perspective of a lot of consumers. With many of us concerned with being much more eco-friendly, clothing could also be an option; it seems like a good time to invest in products that allow this. That's exactly where solar-powered fashion comes in and fits perfectly in the new fashion and upcoming trends.

Pastel colors have been a social media sensation for the past months. Influencers and runway shows have included the soft tones for a less saturated look. The colors used include, pink, green, purple, light blue and such which reflects a romantic and softer dye, and even though it may appeal to be feminine, they have been heavily used by gender fluid individuals.

However, the trend actually grew from art pieces. “Innocuous pinks and ethereal blues” were some of the samples used for paintings, that later became huge inspirations for fashion, furniture and even music. Also, in a social-cultural background pastels colors were used after the 2WW which brought an idea of calmer and peaceful times.

Nevertheless, pastels colors are now used for the “aesthetic and pretty” purpose. Most individuals use the palette because it catches the eye as something heavenly and romantic. Whether it’s shoes, jackets, sweater or even scarfs, pastels have made a change in the fashion industry. Also, I personally think that not only will we be able to see more pastel products, but this trend will also shift towards interior décor and food.

It is not only useful to decorate the pieces giving them a sophisticated and original touch, but it also works perfectly to stylize the figure when accompanied by a flattering contrast of volumes. Designers such as Jacquemus, Schiaparelli or Valentino have opted for draped pieces in many of their proposals. The catwalk has been renewed in the best possible way: transporting to the most basic and wearable garments of Street Style. They are defined by their ability to flatter all silhouettes. They are the draped or gathered dresses that were so popular in the 90's in their mini versions.

This detail, usually applied in the central area of the piece, helps to stylize the waist and hips, better defining the curve of the hip in the case of slimmer bodies and optically reducing the waist. In addition, it is a very attractive detail if you are looking to wear a tight dress but without being too tight at the waist. A touch of sex in fashion today', something of the draping trend, which is more than a little reminiscent of the hastily tied cover-ups of the sheets.

the trends that come for the next few years will be clothing with a contrast between textures, clothing a little more formal knowing that sports have a great boom, but the desire to dress with elegant blazers and belts will increase. It can also be included that the trend called "subtle references" in which the designs are more minimalist with some prints that capture all the consumer's attention and the color palette for the next few years will be; white, beige and brown with some red, green and blue.

Fashion is sometimes cyclic and some hairstyles are not an exception. The middle part was a big hair trend for men in the 90's popularized by pop culture celebrities including a member of the backstreet boys. It got vanished somewhere after that, and was marked as "uncool" or even dorky. But now it is gaining popularity again and we are starting to see it everywhere, from the runways of designers like Celine and Paul Smith, and the nowadays very popular K-pop groups, to the Tiktok "e-boys"; it has even started a "generational war trend" in this app, between Gen Zs promoting the style, and Millennials rejecting it. But this confirms that as it is the younger generation the one embracing it... It is bound to stay around for a while in the future.

I believe that one of the trends that will be imposed in the coming years will be the use of sustainable clothing because their processes will be more environmentally friendly and their components will be long duration and will be of high quality but with higher prices, this in order to reduce the massive consumption of clothing. These clothes will generate consumer satisfaction because it will feel more comfortable and contribute to the ecological boom that is beginning now a days. This trend will mark a respect for nature, humanity and animals seeking to sensitize consumers to take care of the environment.

According to past trends and events of recent years we can predict upcoming trends in fashion, in this case I would like to highlight the comfort, uniqueness that carries each garment that is gaining strength due to the pandemic that has made us to be at home, likewise will be in the coming years, a more relaxed style, with which you can play in an elegant way or ready for a party, In the same way we can see the interest for nature, so wearing garments more rooted to the culture with less processes that affect the environment (hand woven) will be of great importance in the industry without leaving behind the style that each person wants to implement, likewise the trend of reusing or repairing used garments will be directly related to the uniqueness and the unexpected mix and match of the new trends. As predominant colors 2022 can be seen from bright colors that implant happiness to earthy colors that bring a little more peace and simplicity in the attire.

Covid-19 changed the way we feel. In the middle of the quarentine, many people learneed how depression, anxiety and other mental-health problems really feel. Accepting those feelings and emotions and expresing them through things like art and our style makes feel good. In the end, fashion help us to declare something we want to transmit. Recognizing that kind of realties will help companies to design that clothes that satisfies our need to express not only happiness, demeanor, but also sadness.
