The world of fashion is constantly evolving, with certain trends rising to the top of our mood boards. Some trends not only reflect the aesthetics of a culture but are also shaped by place and time.

These trends, with their unique expectations and details, navigate the daily lives of women, and through keen observation, they have now taken over the market.
What is the Girlhood trend??

‘Girlhood’ embraces a rebellious aesthetic but with a girl core and youthful detailing which can include the norms of street style wear but with a feminine touch. Girlhood is all about comfort, expressing one’s style, and taking a break from traditional gender styling. You can wear oversized hoodies, denim, chunky sneakers, sweatshirts with bold slogans and logos that have a societal message, and tons of layering. It mainly allows you to explore your younger self most comfortably.

Bottom line
Where one trend allows you to explore your aesthetics comfortably, the other makes the reign more chic and conservative.
