predictions: Denim dominates

expected to become a casual look for everyone. Marilyn La Jeunesse with Glamour reports on this trend as “Cowboy Cosplay,” and attributes its rising popularity to celebrities like Lil Nas X, Miley Cyrus and Brittany Broski, a TikTok star.

The ballerina bandwagon

In a new approach to athleisure, ballerina wear is expected to become fully casual in 2023. Introduced in 2022, this trend produced a rise in sleek back buns and dainty pink skirts. Héloïse Salessy with Vogue labeled "ballet core" as “The Star Trend of 2023” and suggests that fashion and ballet have been closely connected for centuries. Due to the flexible fit of ballerina wear built for dancers, this style provides comfortable and functional options.

Fashion-forward celebri- ties like Bella Hadid, Ariana Grande and Sydney Sweeney have popularized this look. I expect to see a variety of casual leotards and leg warmers. Garments like skirts, tights and tops are likely to be sheer and the color pallet is likely to follow shades of pink, white and black. Unfortunately, society should prepare for the return of ballet flats with blister bandages and ankle braces.

Denim dominates

No surprise, denim maintains the tight hold it has over American fashion. Unfortunately for millennials, skinny jeans are not coming back, and I expect jeans to get even bigger than they were in 2022. Henrik Lischke with Vogue reports that the fashion cycle continues to ignore tight, uncomfortable denim fits and encourages extra baggy jeans with extra leg room. Denim is also expected to be seen in formal settings. I would like to thank Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake for their iconic and timeless contribution to the fashion world.

As grungy styles and thrifted outfits remain relevant, there is an expected rise in denim maxi skirts, denim dresses and patchwork denim. I predict everyone will be rocking jorts this summer and oversized denim jackets in the fall. The resurfacing of low-rise jeans is a controversial addition to denim trends that was introduced in late 2022, and the jeans are expected fit EVEN lower this year. It’s finally acceptable to channel Hilary Duff and Christina Aguilera's energy again.
