🔥 Trend Forecasts
Retro Track Suits
The Retro Sportswear wave is shifting from Blokecore to full 70s, 80s, and 90s athletic sets. Buyers want comfort and nostalgia, and Depop is already pushing this aesthetic hard.
Data: Search volume for “vintage adidas tracksuit” is up about 120 percent and Depop’s “Retro Sportswear” forecast highlights 70s tracksuits and 80s windbreakers.
Tailored “New Prep”
Preppy is evolving into something cleaner, more grown, and less logo heavy. Think tailoring, cable knits, structured blazers, and polished basics.
Data: Pinterest reports a massive spike, over 47,000 percent, for “women’s preppy outfits.”
Indie Sleaze Revival
The messy, chaotic, 2010s grunge plus hipster aesthetic is fully back. Faux fur, band tees, skinny scarves, and distressed denim are gaining steam.
Data: Depop’s “Indie Vanguard” trend continues to dominate, with band tees and Dr. Martens showing strong sell through.
Small Leather Goods (SLGs)
Buyers want accessible luxury and SLGs deliver fast flips. Wallets, cardholders, small pouches, and keychains move quickly because of low buy in and brand recognition.
Data: Affordable luxury SLGs maintain strong resale velocity on Poshmark and Mercari.
Statement Heels
Sneakers cooled down. Now bold stilettos and glam vintage heels are resurging in demand.
Data: Multiple resale reports show new, meaningful momentum in statement footwear.
