Contemporary Classics:

“Contemporary Classics blends Ivy League-inspired styles with countryside aesthetics, embracing tailored blazers, cable-knit sweaters, pleated skirts, and poplin shirts. This trend reflects a yearning for stability and reliability, as younger generations draw inspiration from the classic elegance of the past. As pop culture revives preppy styles, this updated take on the ‘old money’ aesthetic has been reinterpreted for today, embracing both sophistication and inclusivity. Brands like Ralph Lauren and J.Crew are leading the way in making these styles feel fresh and modern.”

Brands like Converse and Dr. Martens are seeing a resurgence, as the “Indie Vanguard” embraces individuality and spontaneity in fashion.”
