The fashion world has always been a battleground of trends. However, at the moment, one of the most crucial clashes of styles can be observed: Millennials and Gen Z. Two generations have high spending power and never hesitate to express their views, but who is really setting the standard in what is in and out? Break it down.
The Millennial MVPs: The Curators
The generation of millennials (born c. 1981-1996) became digital natives. They created empires on Instagram, they turned athleisure into a 24/7 clothing standard, and they promoted the influencer industry.
Aesthetic Consistency: Think perfectly curated Instagram feeds and a defined personal brand.
Investment Pieces: They love a They love a good capsule wardrobe with high-quality, sustainable staples like our Classic Midi Dress
The “Old Money” Look: Quiet luxury? That was their last big hurrah before…
The Gen Z Game-Changers: The Chaos Agents
Enter Gen Z (born ~1997-2012). They didn’t just join the fashion game; they completely changed the rules. Raised on TikTok and fueled by nostalgia, their style is a wild, wonderful mix of:
-
Y2K Everything: From low-rise silhouettes to playful statement fits, check out our Y2K-inspired collection
-
Thrifting & DIY: Uniqueness is king. They’d rather upcycle a vintage find than wear a head-to-toe designer logo.
-
Authenticity Over Aesthetic: Their feeds are real, raw, and less curated. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s self-expression.
So, Who’s Actually Winning?
Honestly? It’s a tie, but Gen Z is setting the pace. Millennials brought us online shopping and influencer marketing, but Gen Z is driving the trends themselves with viral TikTok sounds and a fearless approach to style. They’ve made fashion more democratic, faster, and way more fun.
Millennials are now the ones with more stable income, often blending Gen Z’s trendy pieces with their own more refined, classic basics. It’s a collaboration, not a war!
