“What we wear has a massive impact on how we feel and it can help uplift us, make us feel more confident, optimistic and able to express who we are.
“2023 is going to be a year dominated by film, ballet core, and grunge trends.
“We can expect to see sheer and ethereal styles, grunge and 90s fashion or ballet inspired fits on fashion-loving 20-somethings.”
Asos predicts sales of ballet pumps, base layer jersey tops and sheer slips and skirts will grow this year as ballet attire remains popular.
Sales of tennis shoes, like Adidas’ Samba and Gazelle styles, will take off with the most popular being in black, gum and white colours.
Asos said gen-Z favourite Olivia Rodrigo’s 90’s inspired grunge style will be a “leading source of style inspiration” for 20-somethings alongside Zendaya and Wednesday star Jenna Ortega.
The release of Avatar: The Way of Water and anticipated premier of The Little Mermaid will drive appetite for sheer and ethereal tops and dresses among 20-somethings, while the release of Barbie will drive sales of fuchsia pink coloured clothing.
