Understanding Gen Z and Gen Alpha styles can be puzzling for parents, especially when traditional fashion trends take on new meanings. From the ultra-feminine Coquette style to the redefined Preppy look characterized by bold colors and lululemon, deciphering these trends requires a modern perspective. Other styles like Aesthetic-Aesthetic (Vanilla Girl), Cottage Core, E-Girl, Kawaii, and Soft Girl each have their own unique elements, blending various influences from vintage to Japanese street fashion. Additionally, terms like “Old Money” signify a return to classic, understated elegance reminiscent of preppy fashion from past generations. While boys’ fashion trends may seem less varied, with many opting for comfort over style, understanding these evolving styles helps parents navigate their children’s fashion choices with insight and clarity.
