The return of the Tumblr era

Around early 2014 Tumblr reached its peak and people were making around 100 million posts a day. While Tumblr seemed like just a social media platform, many remember Tumblr as more of an aesthetic or era now. The platform was mostly used by 2014 teens and had a certain “grunge aesthetic” if you will, though this wasn’t the only aesthetic going on at the time I can confidently say that people hold on more to this rather than a lot of other types of content on Tumblr. The reason I say that Tumblr is having a comeback is based on what Ive been seeing in our everyday social media apps.

We have seen time and time again the need for nostalgia in fashion and media. We like to take trends and reinvent them into more modern ways because of the fashion cycle along with like I said before, nostalgia. Since we are going through so many micro trends, the fashion cycle is moving evidently faster meaning media will as well. I think I have seen hundreds of videos now about a “better time” or a “simpler” time in the 2010’s and while we can all agree it was just around the corner, it is getting an early comeback in certain ways.

The first was musically, the return of arctic monkeys, a new Taylor swift album, and a Carly Rae Jepsen album screams 2012-16. Specifically it is hinting at that Tumblr era I have been talking about. More and more artists that were popular in this era are coming back, a big indication of this return.

Social media has become a bit, saturated, instagram is no longer casual and fun. This has been a commonly acknowledged thing, since many people including celebrities have commented on the shift in social media platforms. Instagram is no longer what it was, people just want to have fun on the app and be able to interact with their friends. Instagram has also been shifting to more of a video platform, this isn’t desirable to many because this certain type of content is being pushed out more. The app, along with many others, has not been the same and people miss that. While Instagram will not change its algorithms, people want the old Instagram back, they want that casual posting era. We are going to see more people using Instagram as they would Tumblr, more people using cameras (not on their phones), and straying away from posts that feel “forced”. More people want to be real, to the point where every one is even using an app called, Be real. On this app you can only post at a certain, random time and it comes from the front and back camera. Everyone wants to feel real and genuine and this is what we are going to get from media.

King Kylie, Kylie Jenner

Fashion wise, things are coming back but differently. For example, ballet flats are making a comeback, not to say that it was ever fully out. Most people attributed the trend for ballet flats to these feminine, cottage core, coquette aesthetics and while I agree…I could also say that it came back to many other areas of the fashion cycle. The trend cycle is moving faster an faster and that means that we will be seeing trends from everywhere come back no matter what era but we will all notice them getting faster and faster. So think back to the trend of that time and you will being noticing more and more people using these trends in everyday fashion. They will however be curated into their own, more modern, ways. Each style pattern that comes back won’t be the same but it will be similar. For example, middle parts will come back, just maybe not that dramatic swooped one that covered everyone’s entire face.

The Tumblr era is all about that grungy, genuine, fun kind of look. We are incorporating more and more of these things now. Each trend in media and fashion will be directed from that Era and come back in new an different ways. We are beginning to incorporate more casual posting, blurry photos, darker eye makeup, and the grunge look I’ve been talking about. I will be talking more about the fashion trends to be seen with this very soon so make sure to stay active with Khaurafab as to not miss out on anything !

All about new denim trends

Denim will always be one of those things that doesn’t come out of style. Jeans are and will always be a wardrobe must have, but I have been seeing so many new ways to wear and style Denim. The new styles of Denim aren’t necessarily new, people have been doing different things with their jeans for a while but certain denim apparel has really caught my attention.

Travis Scott and Kylie Jenner, Kylie is wearing the devised antithetical DD mini skirt.

Almost everyone has owned a denim skirt at one point or another, they are cute and simple, a great addition to your closet. Recently, I found this skirt from Devised Antithetical that was recently worn by Kylie Jenner. This skirt is a reworked Levi’s Jeans made into a very unique mini skirt. I own the DD mini and love how it looks on me, as well as loving that I found a mini skirt that is different than your everyday basic Jean skirt.

Reworked and reimagined denim is so big right now, which is exactly why I added this EB denim reinvented vintage capsule collection. The collection includes multiple new denim apparel that really stands out. The entire brand stands out as well, in that they have some big celebrity customers including Kendal Jenner, Selena Gomez, Hailey Bieber, Lori Harvey, and more. EB denim really shows new ways you can wear jeans and re-wear denim.

LEVI'S X DANIELLE GUIZIO

Levis is apart of this trend in more than one way, not only are they one of the biggest names in apparel but they are one of the first jeans brands and the biggest. They recently collaborated with Guizio, creating a collection of cute jeans and denim corsets. Each with great detailing and a nice fashionable look for fall.

Many popular names in fashion seem to be producing many of these denim trends such as Marc Jacobs. In their tote bag collections “The tote bag” they have a blue jean look in more than one of their designs. More recently they released not only another version of this tote bag but also more denim worked apparel such as jeans, tops, and jackets.

Good American jeans “Demin obsessed”

While I have many more examples of brands incorporating more denim designs, my last example of this has to be Good American’s new line “demin obsessed”. This line is very self explanatory as well as having many variety of denim that is a bit more suitable for every day fashion. Though I think that I could wear any of the pieces I listed above, Good American has more items that every day people can wear. This line is very stylish and body positive.

The Most needed things for the “model off duty look”

Model off duty is a term that’s been used time and time again in the fashion community, but are models and fashion really ever ‘off-duty’? This is a self explanatory look, it comes from models being off the job, off duty, and in the public eye. Many icons have rocked this look and have made it a fashion trend amongst the masses, by just searching the term “model off-duty” you will find pictures of people like Naomi Campbell, Bella Hadid, and Kendall Jenner. Though not everyone can be the literal model off duty, we can take the model off duty look and bring it into everyday fashion with a few staple pieces.

Emily Ratajkowski

The model off duty look has many elements of minimalism to create a care free fashion statement, a white t-shirt or any white shirt is the perfect example . Having a few simple white t-shirts is a staple and for a good reason, it is versatile, simple, crisp, clean and can be paired with any look an is the exact reason you see these models wear it so often. The is look is minimal, simple ; by just pairing it with jeans, a cute sneaker, and other accessories that you desire this fashionable look is easily accomplished.

Irina Shayk

Wearing a corset can not only be flattering to the curves but also take a more casual look to an elevated level. It creates a bit of edge to the day to day look, but can also be worn for a night look. The corset is versatile , fashionable, edgy, and flattering to the body, it can be worn with just about anything ; Jeans, leather pants (also a must for the model off duty look), or a skirt. No matter what it is paired with it is a big part of the model-off duty look that we are so eager to achieve.

Bella Hadid

I continue to talk about low rise jeans because of how truly adorable they are, the rise of this trend has really been changing things up. With more people taking inspiration from the different aesthetics of the 90’s and ealy’s 2000’s, the low rise jeans trend is an iconic statement. In the photo above, Bella Hadid has been rocking the low rise jean trend and as well as wearing a white shirt, another simple staple of the fashion trend.

There are a few constants in these looks but the one I want to touch on is the sunglasses. In almost all my research on this trend I have noticed that majority of these models have on a cute pair of sunnies. Sure they have other accessories in their outfits such as the fact that many, if not all, carry a purse or some type of bag, wear jewelry, and usually sneakers, but I feel like glasses make more of a statement . Sunglasses can be used as another way to bring attention to the face or possibly be worn as a sort of a head band. By bringing in a pair of sunglasses you begin to bring a cool factor to your outfit as well as versatility to complete the look . Like I said before, you can put them on your head, over your eyes, on your shirt, or jeans making it the accessory that does it all and a staple for the look.

4 Colors that will dominate your wardrobe this year

The trendiest colors for this year are definitely different than the neutrals and pastels in the past. This year the color are vibrant and electric, they will definitely be eye catching.

We spoke about how electric colors will be consistent in this years fashion, this color is very evident in the trend as it is literally electric. Electric blue has been a rampant color in fashion recently and has caught my eye time and time again. I’m not the biggest fan of wearing blue but these electric blues I have been seeing have absolutely changed my mind.

This color trend is the reason for the entire website aesthetic, the hot pinks I have been seeing are jaw dropping and so beautiful. From Kim Kardashians full body hot pink cat suit to the recent Valentino Pink PP collection, pinks have made a big statement. The populations love for pinks was already big but it will continue to get bigger with the constant exposer.

Getting away from the vibrant colors for only a second, I think that black will continue to live on. Wearing black is a popular color because of the simplicity but classiness of the color, I think the contrast of the classiness of the color and the edginess will actually make it the most popular of colors. Black covers all of the bases and that’s why it thrives every year.

Caution tape yellow is the perfect amount of bold load neon and sunny. While I don’t think we will be wearing caution tape around us I do think that forms of yellow will be popular this summer, along with shades of orange.

Trends of Spring 2022 As seen from my favorite designers

A list of some of the most popular trends to come in spring 2022. My predictions are all from things I’ve seen come up more in the fashion world and that have popped up from former trends. Note that none of these are my pictures and have been taken from internet research. All of these trends are from the runway but are meant to show you what pieces will be popular, and what you should sport this spring/summer.

Mui Mui Spring/Summer 2022

Our first trend is a micro-mini skirt. I think it gives the right amount of y2k nostalgia we’ve been reaching for the past few years, while also giving us that that lovely spring look. After the last two years of sweatpants, its nice to see that this spring were showing a little leg and dressing up. A micro-mini skirt is a dress up or dress down kind of trend, for example, in this picture you can see Mui Mui made its debut of this fashion trend on the runway this fashion week. While they gave a business look out of this, a micro-mini skirt can be dressed up or down.

Mui Mui This NYFW

Along with the micro-mini skirt, we will also be seeing our pants getting lower and lower. Low rise jeans (as much as some may dispise this) will start to make its way into out everyday lives. Mui Mui also showed this trend this fashion week but they are not the only ones to show this trend some light.

Now that I have established my love for Mui Mui and low rise bottoms, we have another trend to report on. This time Im showing you something off the runway, though we have seen this trend on the runway too, I wanted to show what the fashion week guests have been sporting. Something I noticed are over sized coats of any kind, this could be because of the weather but I have a feeling that we are going to continue seeing these coats throughout the year. Also note that I adore the outfit worn in this picture, it was even in Glamour’s article about New York Fashion Week Fall/Winter street style but I think this trend is well beyond just fall and winter.

Stella McCartney

I could write about the trends we are going to see all day, but a notable mention has to be cut outs. Cut out tops and dresses have been seen all over instagram and they were featured in Stella McCartney’s run way show. As you can see, they made many cut out style dresses in very vibrant colors, thus (in my opinion) showcasing more than one trend at once. Did you also notice the use of an over sized coat here? I think this has to be one of my favorites on this list. This look brings together some of my favorite trends in one and I’m here for it. Stella McCartney made a wonderful return to the runway.

Versace Medusa Aevtias Pumps

My next trend prediction would have to be shoe related, of course. I think every one knows what I’m going to bring up, as it is one of the most noticeable trends. Platform shoes. Platform shoes are everywhere, on and off the run way, on the internet, and on the streets. If you haven’t heard of this, no offense, you must have been living under a rock. I think the most popular version of the platform shoe trend would have to be the Versace Medusa Aevtias Pumps, but they aren't the only viral platform shoe, and they certainly aren’t the only shoe trend to be discussed. My favorite shoe trend to see this Spring/Summer would have to be Clogs.

From Simon Miller’s instagram 2/17/22

I have seen a few clogs on the run way, but my favorite would have to be Simon Miller’s. Clogs are very much a trend from the past, specifically the 70’s, but as fashion trend are recycled they come back better then ever and these are an example. They are unique, make an outfit pop, and are a spring/summer must have. In the latest picture above Simon Miller debuted their newest version of their bubble clog, and I am sure this will be a must have.
