Trend Predictions: 2015

Following last year's dark fashion predictions, here are my trend predictions for 2015, and with a brief note if my 2014 trend predictions came true this year! Overall I think it's going to be a more toned-down look next year.


Goth Trend: I kinda feel the stereotypical "nu-goth" look with the over-the-top satanic panic symbols and big occult stuff will kind of die down to a more old-school goth look (except with 90s hair), meaning a more hair-makeup look with normal, trendy street clothes (in black). Goth brand clothes will continue to take a hit as people stop at regular shops.

 (Last year: Said the nugoth look was going to win over pastel goth. yeah, I'd say so. In real life, I've seen way more nugoth people than pastel goth. and online as well)



Trend that will die next year: Unusual accessories
As much as I love these, I feel like the hand cuffs, open finger rings, odd ear cuff things will all go away. As awesome as they are, they are just not too practical for everyday wear.

(Last year: statement leggings. I'd say so. Even Black Milk is trying to diversify with dresses and skirts and things. On the street, I'm still seeing people wear statement leggings, but it's pretty rare)

Hair trend: uncombed, longish hair
The look these days is the more feminine look from the 90s, so longish, uncombed hair. At least I hope so. I so loved this look. When my hair grows back it does this on its own, so I'll be sporting it regardless. Probably wishful thinking on my part. 90s fashion is coming back, but in a more hygenic way. I wish we could just go all out and stop combing, stop bathing, stop washing our clothes, and just have our clothes deteriorate on our bodies

Like Drew Barrymore's hair here, but longer

(Last year I said hair accessories. Wow I couldn't have been more wrong. NO ONE wore hair accessories this year)

Color of the year: Black
Yeah, as everyone goes old-school, I feel like it's going to be pretty monochrome for a while. I think people will continue to dye their hair different things, but clothing will be black-on-black-on-black.

(Last year I said white. Yeah, kinda-sorta)

Beauty product: liquid eyeliner
How else are you going to make those dots?

(Last year I said lipstick. Yeah, not as HUGE as I thought it would be but I saw a lot of lips+eyebrow looks, especially with a dark red.)

Current trend that will continue next year: Strappy lingerie that's meant to be seen, especially paired with sheer stuff.

(last year I said crop tops with high-waisted. I feel like it was pretty true based on what I've seen on the street and stores)
