Young consumers are ready to get glammed up for the post-COVID future. We told you that once things are safer, young consumers are likely to have a “roaring ‘20s experience rebound,” and the fashion industry is predicting that customers are going to want to get dressed up again. According to Lyst, searches have surged 137% for “sparkly bras,” 49% for “pearl and feather headbands,” and 43% for “metallics.” But while shoppers are ready to get fancy again, they don’t necessarily want to be rid of comfortable attire.
