A New Decade Is Here — But So Are The ‘90s, Says Pinterest

On Tuesday, Pinterest revealed its top 100 for 2020, a report detailing the trends that more than 320 million people around the world are searching for. Pinterest looked at its searches from August 2017 to July 2019 to identify key trends, landing on 100 topics that point to cultural shifts. That data was then used to predict the trends we can expect to see everywhere next year. At the top of the list: The 1990s, baby. 

“For many, it’s a nostalgic rewind back to a more lighthearted era,” Pinterest reports. “As Millennials get older, they’re reliving fond memories and bonding over shared experiences. Meanwhile, Gen Z is discovering ‘90s culture for the first time and putting their own twist on the trends.” Not only are ‘90s cartoons trending on the site, but so are hip-hop parties (and the “get-up” you’ll wear), as well as “Y2K Fashion” — “Make like it’s the new millennium with army pants, hip chains and logomania.” Searches for the term are up 692% over last year. 

Think: cropped statement tees, bucket hats, matching tank tops and skirt sets, and chunky shoes — including those infamous FILA sneakers. All across the world, “heritage brands like FILA are reaching new audiences as Gen Z aims for an authentic ‘90s vibe,” according to Pinterest. Grunge is back, too, up 292% from last year. Streetwear is taking over Pinterest’s search bar, up 272%. 

And we can’t say we’re surprised. There is Rihanna, who arguably is single-handedly bringing back logomania, first in head-to-toe Dior and then in Burberry. Chanel is getting in on the action, too: At its Métiers d’Art show last week, the pieces had a 1990s feel with wide belts worn high on the waist, low-rise pants, crop tops, and tiny bags the size of an old-school flip phone.  Rounding out the list of trends are gender-neutral clothing options and conscious consumption (searches for secondhand fashion, including wedding dresses are up). 

Y2K is back and this time, we don’t think it’s a glitch.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
