Fashion Industry Highlights – May 2025

 

1. Gen Z's Economic Nihilism Influences Fashion Choices

Gen Z is navigating a complex economic landscape marked by stagnant wages, high living costs, and mounting debt, leading to a mindset of economic nihilism where traditional financial goals feel out of reach. This generation often engages in emotional spending—valuing small luxuries and mood-boosting purchases—as a form of coping. Despite limited disposable income, Gen Z still craves beauty, status, and self-expression, often accessing luxury through resale platforms, buy-now-pay-later services, and fashion dupes.

Pairing black Capris with oversized shirts or tees offers a chic look, and opting for high-waisted versions can add a contemporary twist. The Times
