>the 80s and 90s will be a big source of inspiration for 2017. Sweatbands might be a thing again.

>visors.

>anything floral patterned that isn't hawaiian. It's the camo of happiness. Hawaiian shirts will be the new frat douche pickup though, so tread with caution.

>paisley will be a winner, mine out your local goodwill now.

>calculator watches. temple beads. weirdo wrist accessories.

>words on a shirt will still be a thing, but the typefaces are going to change. 80s and 90s fashion will be used to inspire this.


>bell bottoms? it just might happen. That trend is cocked and loaded. it's just waiting for a bad bitch celebrity to tell the masses that it's popular again. might be the response to high waisted-slim fit normalcore.

>beards hit their peak and can climb no higher. They will remain a strong alternative for anyone with a shitty chin. grow your moustaches now if you can.

> the 70s will be used as an inspiration point for the black community (bell bottoms may play into this). Afrocentric styles will merge with hypebeast culture. (supreme bogo with an african looking color pattern in the box type shit.) It will be seen as a sort of response to the alt-right fashion,comparisons will be made to a polarized america here. This trend can only get so big because asians can't rock it.

>Asians control streetwear trends, the only thing that can destabilize this will be vintage americana (with vintage europeana possibly being a trend here as well) and memewear. its a battle of heart vs hype.

screencap this if you think im full of shit, I'm interested in hearing other prophecies as well.

>>12031479
I fully-agree with the alt-right fashion, that's definitely going to happen

>>12031481
>supreme bogo with an african looking color pattern in the box type shit.
i can totally see this happening

>>12031501
oh yeah, without a doubt. might make major press headlines when a black guy sees someone who isn't black walking out of the SUPNY location with it and kicks the shit out of him for it.

>>12031499
specifically, the alt right are going to take normalcore in a more trade-workery/common man/anticonsumerist/DIY direction. BIFL is going to be a big tenant of this (this will be when it gets heavily politicized). It'll be amusing watching dudes whip out leatherman tools for any little occasion.

If you try to anticipate/hop on trends rather than cultivate a personal aesthetic you're cancer.

Breaks. But probably not until AW17.

I'm black. We currently haven't decided what's cool and fashionable in 2017, but we'll let everyone know what to copy when we get there.

>>12031479
>In reality whats going on is that normalcore will hit the mainstream
Think about this sentence for a second, and think of how redundant it is. Of course "normalcore" has always been the mainstream by definition.

Step out of your little bubble. The average person has, and will always, dress in the most "normalcore," least-effort way possible. I'm talking hoodies and Wal-Mart jeans.

If this is your "alt-right fashion," then I'm sorry to break it to you, but it is nothing new. It is the consistent, "average" baseline of what people will always dress as.

>>12031703
I'm pretty sure he means normcore, which is a different thing entirely

>>12031479
>adidas will fall off
This won't happen in a few years

>This won't happen in a few years

This won't ever happen in our lifetime.

>>12031651
Most black people buy off of hype, brand labels and a general consensus of cool. This has been changing though.

There is a misconception that black people are the trendsetters, this is only partially true. Black people have always been loyal to streetwear brands and their celebrities retain these loyalties. These celebrities can make an entire clothing brand explode. I can't say much regarding the trends of high fashion and haute couture

The future will be much more viral and base itself off of critical thinking on the part of the consumer building their own aesthetic (>>12031543)
Celebrities will have less direct say in whats hot and the power will instead go to things like inspo threads/blogs/videos.


>>12031703
No. There will be a deliberate attempt at a nostalgia involved, People want to dress like they have their shit together. The alt-right side of things will have a slightly more utilitarian flair with an emphasis on the durability of a product/lack of disposability.

Orange. Expect orange.

>>12032339

everyone will have dyed orange hair

>Ugly god wore heelys and now everyone else will

He's not popular enough senpai. That will only happen if Lil Yachty wears it (he won't)

Can someone explain what "alt-right fashion" is? I take it it's not people walking around in swastika t-shirts and shit like that.

Any links or photogalleries or anything like that? I'm really curious.

Rick Owens is gonna do bright pink

>>12033430
what the fuck lol

>>12033679
I guess military inspired maybe? we already have the nazi haircut + neo nazi bomber style trending

farmer core/pastoral core will be a big thing

>>12031479
>>12033621
Could happen seeing as I've been rocking them fall 16 lmao

I have a feeling that old, vintage movie posters will replace band tees.

>new designer pops up, shakes the fashion world. /fa/ cums
>young thug starts his own label
>LV next show is god tier
>undercover comes out with a solid '18 line
>raf does crazy shit

>>12031651
Why would I want to dress niggercore?

>>12031651
nice baitpost

desu i dont see anything a big fad happening in 2017. seems that is fashion is kinda stagnant this time

>>12033621
just watch. it makes for a nice vine/snapchat.

I suspect that they ferociously defend their patent and focus on kids wear due to bad corporate management. A bigger brand will see the potential and push for a collab with them. When this collab happens, buy the fuck out of them. The website is going to crash and there will be lots of issues regarding shipping the shoes. This particular pair will be infamous in the hypebeast communities.

>>12033679
Much of that is still being decided through trends, the overall goal is something I believe can be called "conservative normalcore".

>>12034887
agreed. The world isn't ready for metalheads becoming hypebeasts, but it is going to happen before the end of the decade.

>>12034904
>pop ups

Prepare for a riot when a brand drops an alt-right fashion popup.

>>12034971
nothing is stagnant when you look carefully.

>>12035272
>alt-right fashion pop up
It won't happen because alt righters dress like fucking shit they either wear /mfa/ fedora dadcore or dress like middle schoolers
The left mostly dresses like trash too but that's already a given

>2000sCore takes off, talking reflective metallics, pic related
>niggas will still be cuffin pants but less will be tapered
>power clashing
>we hit peak normcore so the trend will adapt/ splinter off into subgroups w/ slightly different points of inspo

>>12031479
>athleisure gains new height with a full body spandex suit that basic bitches will rave over.

People will wear their shirts as pants and vise versa

>the alt-right will be co-opted by jews
>they'll repackage it as an aesthetic normcore/vaporwave/terrorwave hybrid devoid of any genuine conservative content
>gavin mcinnes is going to sell out

wholeheartedly agree

Lmao stopped reading there

beards will transition into lambchops in an effort to lose the neckbeard reputation. or big mustaches.

>NYC is hit my a major attack, not as big as 9/11 but big enough for supreme to drop some commemorative shit. limited but given away for free. Its gonna have the victims name or some shit like that

Ken wills it

>>12036783
Who is Ken?

I think heelys are gonna be a huge meme

Do you guys think we could influence fashion like the way /pol/ influences politics?
Maybe if we start on r/streetwear wear and move our way up to shit like insta
I don't think we can influence high fashion but maybe meme some shit into being trends

Just shut up guys these prophecies were never fulfilled

>>12036799
>the way /pol/ influences politics
Kek they didn't do shit, people just voted trump to piss off tumblr.

>>12036963
Well they do have an influence
They make it to mainstream news and the whole pizza hate thing was mostly pol
I think we could meme things into being popular

>vintage europeana
I hate Americans

>>12036667
you stopped reading at the very end?

>>12036974
We'd have to be super organised tho, what do uou want to meme?

>>12037062
Heelys and face masks

>>12031479
>memewear will be in full force. You're gonna lose your bitch to a dude in sketchers.

Fucks sake i haven't even finished my poptart and im already coughing up with laughter.

>"alt-right fashion"

This isnt a joke, this is actually going to be the effay thing, i predicted it months ago after people made a thread joking about the hitler/skin fashion, good thing i already got my hitler youth haircut and copped some fred perry shit.

tumblrcore punk cosplaying will make a huge comeback thanks to Trump, maybe a small skinhead revival

>>12037068
Face masks are already a meme, and a shit one at that.

Tattoos and piercings will be totally out in 2017. Replacing them will be new types of body modifications, such as stag antlers attached to the skull with wood screws and fusion bolts, multiple penises surgically attached all over the body, vestigial tails, etcetera. Unnecessary amputations is also very likely to become a craze, beginning with hipsters in Bombay and Calcutta, and spreading throughout the first world from there.

>>12037068

>>12033679
it depends, i predict its more like military conservative nromie inspired look mixed in with some neo nazi skin head aesthetic.

>>12031479
If you haven't been wearing alt-right motif utilitarian style clothing for at least 6 months you are a faggot

>>12037068
Pfff that's not hard to meme

I want to meme propeller hats

>>12037103

Interesting. I can easily envision that.

I say "easily" because that's actually a pretty good description of how I dress.

>>12031479
adidas is just getting started b

>>12035955
wanna specify, clashing in terms of fabrics over patterns

>>12036672

/pol/ is the most active board on 4chan

compare that to /fa/

good luck

wishful thinking, the thread

heres a reality check:

>alt right has little to no actual mainstream influence
>alt right has no official aesthetic
>very few alt right people are fashionable enough to make an impact

here are my baseless predictions:

>militaristic or "terrorwave" may peak, only to be subsumed by mainstream style
>plaids, traditional stuff, lumberjack core becomes unpopular
>beards become unpopular
>athletic wear/techwear/ stuff continues to rise
>more straightforward, future-oriented stuff goes mainstream
>thick ass glasses continue to lose popularity in favor of clear, or more subtle wire stuff

>"digital brutalism" drips into mainstream aesthetics
>newer noise rock/electronic stuff starts being trendy among hipster outlets and /mu/
>there will be some cringey mainstream "punk revival" bullshit, with "rock against trump" type pop punk albums
>a lot of cgi fuckfest and big budget sequels movies will bomb

>baggy hip hop jeans a la jay z circa 200X & non-cropped bagginess in general
>more ironic 90s sportswear eg fila, kappa, umbro etc
>fleece garments that would traditionally be made w a different material eg. Hoodies

>>12038344

Choose one

what were the trends of this year even?

>>12031481
Wow took the words from my mouth, there Will definetly be a mainstream adaption of the 80-90s styles, and the 'word shirts' changing font/whatever is already in motion

>>12040044
terrorwave is basically it

>>12031479
if the alt-right get a uniform antifa will have a fucking field day

>>12040695
>antifa
>threatening

'no'

Fashion will maintain grey scale, and incorporate androgyny more heavily. The mixing of hiphop and rock fashion will become indistinguishable. Culture will move toward unity in response to the great divide from the election. Distinguishing rednecks from hoodlums, wealthy from poor, and even men from women will be increasingly difficult. Fashion will also be based more on function than form as future uncertainty increases and survival becomes a necessity. Also skateboarding and rollerblading will come back but only as a means of transportation.

Euro normcore, late 80s and mid 90s will become even more popular. Black skinny jeans will stay strong but other colours will definitely lose to a more slim or relaxed fit. High rise pants and combat boots. Related is also military inspired clothing. Black sneakers will start to replace white ones, the all black trend will end up bringing up post punk, and eventually goth and emo subcultures back. Terror wave and slav core will be strong in the next couple of years. Its even possible that in two or three years we start seeing bell bottoms again, in women first. Also there will be an adoption of 70s styles especially in suits, we already saw this with the GUCCI collection of this year. Tucked- in polos and bigger lapels are coming. Also finally, thick framed glasses will be totally replaced by 80's aviator styles, and round framed glasses.

>>12040695
>antifa

Thats assuming they aren't busy watching their girlfriends kid or busy writing a 5 paragraph rant on one of their "problematic" friends.

>>12040816
It would be exciting to see gold trim and tortoiseshell return.

>>12040833
they already did, tortoishell clubmasters were very popular this and last summer

>>12031703
i'd say some sort of skinhead normcore, camo pants, simple shirts, and meme shit like maga hats/le nazi new balances

so basically everything will be terrible?

Lol, anyone remember the guy who said his predictions were from insider meetings? Not one company though, a global collective of capitalists who choose trends. He was really devoted.

>>12031481
Bell bottoms are already coming back in my town

>>12034887
I feel like Thrasher normalizing pentagrams and goat heads outside of metal is going to make it cool to wear metal and horror shit.

>>12036783

The I designed a tshirt with the same idea two months ago but can't find the image

>>12031479
If by alt fashion you mean combat boots, tucked in shirts with sweaters and generally military inspired way of dressing I've been on this train since last year, but can't find any inspo pics

>>12036365
examples please?

>>12036657
this is the least creative race joke I've seen all year. Congratulations

How is fashion going to adapt to the new markets?

China now has more purchasing power than North America and Western Europe combined, but fashion is still centred on places like Milan, Paris and NYC.

I think the first asian brands that are able to pull newly wealthy chinese and indians away from western brands will make billions.

>>12034887
I feel like i'm ahead of the game here lol

all my tshirts are band tees and horror movie posters.

but i dress hyebeast af

TECH AND GLITCH HUGE

>>12031481
>>the 80s and 90s will be a big source of inspiration for 2017.

True, it's sort of a thing now but it's only going to increase in 2017 imo

>>12031479
mostly wrong
>>12031481
you just described 2015 m8


all of you are wrong. 2017 will see the mid-late 90s (think around 1997) styles for men and women. Blacks will hop on the old school wutang hype, white normcore/streetwear/slp dudes will all hop on different variations of 96/97/98 era hiphop/rap metal/nu metal/slacker variations...think dudes undoing their man buns and getting putting them in korn braids or getting buzzcuts; lots of dickies & "relaxed" (but not baggy) chinos or black/lightwash jeans /waffle thermals under tshirts under flannels, google pictures of the Deftones or Rage Against The Machine circa 1996 for inspo and movies like MallRats work too. Ringer tees will be back and short goatees or standalone sideburns will start to replace beards

Trends will come and go
And I'll always be two steps ahead of the game because I'll always be in full rick >;-)

>>12042316
i have pic related, and several other movie t shirts. I'm gonna start wearing them in public and see if I can get a reaction.

>>12034887
already been a thing on IG for a minute my guy

>he doesn't know the hyped horror tee meme brands yet

>>12042807
not talking about horror exclusively, just vintage movie posters in general.

>>12031481
literally describing current trends

>>12042279
How the fuck did you come to the conclusion that China has more purchasing power than two larger economies combined?

I've been hoping for a goa/psytrance revival but I have the feeling that it already came and went in early 2015 without leaving a massive influence

>>12040508
-bomber jackets (usually with lighter colored jeans and a white tee)
-"dad hats"
-knit sneakers
-those lace up tops for girls. you know the ones that look like shoelaces over tits.
-overly ripped jeans
-t shirt dresses
-adidas stan smith
-post malone hair. but that might just be my area.

Also im in ny and ever since the ny meme took over i have actually seen more timbs and yankee caps. idk if its cause i noticed more or what

>athletic wear/techwear/ stuff continues to rise

I am having a hard time seeing the demographics shift in a big enough way to make that a thing. Outdoorsy and active people tend to stick pretty religiously to their outdoor brands.

>>more straightforward, future-oriented stuff goes mainstream
This will probably be something we will see occur in 2019-2020 as a response to the quiet of normalcore.

Sure is underage in here.

A lot of these prophecies are more like 'this is whats happening right now'

Thats just looking.

>alt-right
OK so Im 26. This whole 'alt-right' fad has been going on since I was a teen, just its name has changed.

The whole Neo Nazi thing was started to be ironic, thing is the whole irony thing got started cos the need to be unique within a demographic was strong with the youth after emo and nu metal died. 'we must show we're alternative but make sure everyone thinks were normal' Haircuts, boots etc are just a derivative of that.

Then for whatever reason the thrash/deathmetal aesthetic took off, I guess cos its so gnarly and with drill music making it big (essentiall horrorcore with trap) the whole death vibe.
Its not just hip hop, pop felt it too.
Thrash and rock teeshirts have always been cool, just now its more accepted. Kinda like the whole geek chic thing that happened.

Now theyre kinda joining up and trying to get more luxury.

BASICALLY

What wasnt cool when you were growing up or at least what was 'alt' will be the next big thing.

Now I dont know what you 16 years olds are slagging off these days but I guarantee that in 4,5,6 (deff 10) years you will be doing/wearing exactly that. It may even become fashionable

>>12043295
case in point

>>12043295
we're coming in to the beginnings of a rap metal and nu metal revival for aesthetics and alt culture. Things work in 20 yr cycles, it's been 20 years since that started, and the normie fear/distaste for Trump mirrors the youth opinion of Bush around winter 99.

>>12040698
>>12040824
Not sure where you live but in my region, they're a bunch of anarchists and just normies who want to break shit because muh nazism
