Besides, who doesn’t love a little do-it-yourself project that will easily double as the wardrobe equivalent of a face-lift? Don’t believe us? Perhaps the analytics will prove her point─there has been seven times the amount of searches for “sweatshirt embroidery,” six times the searches for “reworked clothes,” and a 115% increase in searches for DIY tote bag designs. Between hand-painted denim pockets, revamped thrifted finds, and punch needle-embroidered totes, there’s no doubt that DIY fashion is on the rise for 2021.


Not only does Kanai have overt confidence in the creativity of Gen Z-ers, but also in the upward trend of personalization and DIY in their styles. Last but most certainly not least on her top three list is personalized style.

Pinterest has seen a tremendous increase in cocooning style searches─with two times the amount for “cozy aesthetic outfits,” four times the amount for “quilted clothes,” and, of course, a colossal increase for (none other than) “fluffy slippers.” Is it just us, or will cozy always be du jour ? Kanai predicts that fashionistas near and far will turn to puffer jackets, stylish shawls, and oversized socks that make any occasion a cozy one. Next on her list of foreseeable trends is cocooning─the fashionable way to layer up without looking like a human blanket.
