WE Fits For The Feed Trend Report

Social media has fundamentally changed the fashion industry as young Europeans use their feeds to express their style, spark new fashion trends and drive viral styles into the mainstream. Now, fashion has been democratized, and these gens say it’s individuals like them that are writing today’s fashion rules—and brands need to follow their lead. But with new trends like #Cottagecore #DarkAcademia and #Angelcore popping up and going viral seemingly every week, what are the expectations for brands to keep up? And, even more importantly, are young Europeans really taking these FYP styles IRL?

YPulse’s research looks at the impacts of viral fashion on young European’ online and offline style and found that they’re very different.
