Trend Recap: 2015

And now the year's almost over! Flew by, right? Miss the tattoo necklaces and raw minerals? See last year's Trend Recap 2014. Here's the Trend Reap for 2015.

I feel like the trends from the past few years (occult symbols, printed leggings/body suits, cutout dresses, 90s shit) continued to this year, and nothing new has replaced them.


2014 Trend that continued to 2015: Moons
hope it continues to 2016!



Hair trend: Buns

Also big boho braids

Cutout dresses/shirts lingerie

Goth Brand of the Year: H&M

Wha? H&M? Yeah, over the past few years, goths have stopped shopping for goth "brand" stuff since the modern look is a throwback to the old-school look, before there were any brands. There are also other reasons. Everyone's budgets are getting tighter, and it's hard to compete with low-cost fast-fashion retailers like H&M and F21. H&M in particular had a great selection of shapeless black things and shiny black things for sale this year. It's jaw-dropping how quickly they can knock off runway and indie designers these days. btw I was at the flagship store yesterday and they've got a home section now??

Honorable Mention: Kill Star
btw I bought this dress
Body Mod of the year: still septum

Trend that didn't last too long: Macrame
Was everywhere for a few months, then gone

Did I miss anything?
