One of the cool things about our editorial team is that we fall into different generations, and we are constantly inspired by each other’s style. The internet—predominantly TikTok—likes to lightheartedly remind us of the differences (and rift) between Gen Z and millennials—especially when it comes to fashion choices.
As a millennial fashion editor who has worked at Who What Wear for seven years and manages several Gen Z editors, I certainly do see and embrace the fun differences in styles. As someone who leans toward classic dressing, I always find Gen Z outfits are such a fun feast for the eyes. But there are also plenty of trends we have equal interest in.
After an in-depth discussion on this year’s trends with my Gen Z co-worker and assistant shopping editor Ana Escalante (who is always so on top of the latest TikTok trends and the Gen Z fashion set), I thought it would be fun to share some of our personal insights on the trends we are both excited about and aligned on as well as the trends we had opposing thoughts about.
As always, here at Who What Wear, we are advocates of wearing whatever you want no matter your age. These trends are purely our personal takes! Keep scrolling to see what we’re both tapping into this season and the items we agree to disagree on—then shop our picks.
