1980s influences [ edit ]
The early 2010s saw many recycled fashions from the 1950s,
Popular tops for American, British and Australian women aged 20–50 included tunics, 1980s style baseball jackets,
From 2010 to 2012 many late 2000s fashion trends remained popular in Europe, the United States, East Asia, Israel, and South America, especially acid wash skinny jeans, geometric or galaxy printed crew neck sweatshirts and leggings, "trouser-dresses", romper suits,
preppy pastel colored skinny jeans, metallic dresses,
and capri pants cropped at the ankle. Possibly due to the poor economy in the early years, the midi skirt and the maxi skirt were the most common skirt and dress styles, with the hemline standards being the longest they had been since The Great Depression.
Tribal fashions and 1990s revival [ edit ]
From late 2011 onward, 1990s inspired fashion began to make a comeback in the UK, US, Philippines, India, and Australasia among teen girls and young women aged 15–30.
oversized flannel shirts worn or tied around the waist, oversized T-shirts, padded gilets,
In the UK and the US, popular bottom apparel includes skinny jeans, leggings, parachute pants,
boyfriend jeans. High-waisted bottoms, such as pants, shorts, skirts, and bathing suits also became the standard for women's fashion in the 2010s, as opposed to the low rise trend that was popular throughout the 2000s.
Other popular trends of the early and mid 2010s included Aztec and Navajo inspired patterns featuring diamonds and triangles, especially on T shirts, socks, handbags, panties, pullovers, and other knitwear. In addition, young American women began wearing feather earrings, beaded bracelets, sneakers resembling moccasins,
These tribal inspired garments, made popular by Urban Outfitters and Ralph Lauren, typically came in bright colors like red, yellow, turquoise, blue, and orange.
Eastern fashions and carry-over styles [ edit ]
Many fashion trends from the early years of the decade, especially the 80s influences and the 1960s inspired indie, neo-hippie and boho chic looks, remained relevant in the US and Europe as far as 2017. This included skinny jeans, tunics, floral print dresses, midi and maxi skirts, motorcycle jackets, western shirts, red and blue geometric print blouses, patterned and solid colored tights, overalls,
flat boots, stiletto shoes, Nike Tempo shorts, pastel and neon colored shorts, ballet flats, and combat boots. Popular colors from 2015-16 included mauve, cream, eggplant, lime green, and warm grey.
Popular casual footwear included leather dress boots, stiletto heels, platform sandals, and open toe pumps.
Cream, grey, blue and orange Kurta dresses with side slits
decorated with pink or purple embroidery and synthetic jewels were worn with jeans or leggings, T shirts, tank tops and bat wing sleeve blouses were paired with traditional silk salwar pajamas
or short shorts, and the large hoop earrings declined in popularity in favor of smaller minimalist gold jewelry.
Mid 2010s (2014–16) [ edit ]
Monochromatic and printed clothing [ edit ]
By the mid 2010s, neon colors were out of style in Europe, America and Australia. More subdued colors became popular such as burgundy, mustard yellow, olive green, mauve, and blush pink. Bright colors were also replaced by black, white, various shades of gray,
Black and white Polka dot dresses underwent a revival in China and North Korea.
with Italian brand Dolce and Gabbana launching a range of black and white hijabs and abayas decorated with lace daisies, roses and lemons.

long black velvet blazers decorated with silver braid, tuxedo jackets (often having contrasting black velvet or satin lapels),
black and white geometric printed leggings, and cuffed boyfriend jeans.
Denim declined in popularity in the US,
with black or grey yoga pants, leggings, and slim-fit jogger pants replacing them.
From 2013, small bucket backpacks in colorful prints such as aztec, polka dot, and floral were popular, mirroring the small backpack trend in the 1990s, but by 2015, these small backpacks were largely replaced by Herschel zip-up backpacks with brown diamond patches on the front.
Costume jewelry, Onesies and Snuggies [ edit ]
Loom bands, bracelets woven from brightly colored rubber bands, were seen as both a global fashion statement and a children's fad. In France, Ireland and America, 1990s inspired Choker necklaces featuring colored glass beads, silver chain link, artificial diamonds, Swarovski crystals, lace, velvet, and black or red leather had returned to popularity.
By 2016, Chokers were also worn as an attachment to dresses and shirts, as a high-neck style and with shoulders exposed also known as "cold shoulder".
Small and dainty jewelry replaced the large amounts of bracelets and statement necklaces that were popular at the beginning of the decade.
Originally envisioned as pajamas, onesies were often purchased as a gag gift,
and worn as casual streetwear
by some younger women in the UK, Australia,
Hippie and Grunge influences [ edit ]
Beginning in summer 2016, there has been a revival of 70s fashion in the US, UK, India,
The lace up trend was also highly popular with footwear, largely because of Tunisian shoe designer Azzedine Alaia.
In America, women favor white, black, camel, warm grey, or blush sweater dresses, thin turtlenecks popularised by The Kardashians,
inspired lace dresses, and leather, tan or olive green duster coats.
Late 2010s (2017–19) [ edit ]
1970s revival [ edit ]
In the spring of 2017, the brightly colored beige, red, green, brown and orange '70s revival fashions began to replace the grey and monochromatic '90s inspired streetwear in Britain, India,
North America and France. Particularly popular were the sheepskin coats, moon boots, flared double breasted trouser suits in black, purple, pink,
cream, grey, and navy blue tartan, baggy floral maxi dresses, blue gingham dresses, applique cropped wide leg jeans, denim jackets with embroidered red roses, multicolored tie dye skirts, baby blue and China print dresses worn with black tights,

cold shoulder tops, peasant blouses, oversized hoop earrings, velvet blazers
Unlike the original 70s garments, however, shirts and tops continued to have relatively small collars.
The pantywaist tops previously fashionable as sportswear in the late '70s and early '80s, started to commonly replace T shirts in the UK, US and South Africa, especially among pop stars and models like Candice Swanepoel, Emily Ratajkowski,
By way of Alessandro Michele of Gucci 's creative direction, flat mule shoes, sandals and orange, brown or pink mule heels reminiscent of those worn by Barbie dolls started making a resurgence in Italy and Americas from early 2017 onwards, sometimes featuring tiger embroidery, florals, beadwork, or furry lining.
Swedish Fjällräven Kånken rucksacks in colors such as mustard, navy, forest green, and dusty pink became popular.

with Old West inspired floral embroidery,
bandanas, red or blue gingham skirts and primark dresses, black dresses and sweaters with stars and stripes motifs, black or white T shirts, sandals decorated with black, white and orange beads, low cowboy boots, white shoes, black leather jackets, and shirts featuring graffiti, throwback sports logos, vintage advertising brands, 1950s cartoon characters, and old school tattoo designs like tigers, eagles, hearts, skulls, revolvers and snakes which were typically more subdued than the garish Ed Hardy designs of the early 2010s.
Mature look [ edit ]
By 2017, it had also become fashionable for younger middle class women in Britain, Ireland, Norway, Sweden, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Denmark, and Finland
styles, in reaction to the previous mismatched hipster fashions and the athleisure trend of 2014 which mixed traditional formal wear with high end sportswear.

and also due to the influence of Kate Middleton and celebrity early adopters like Victoria Beckham who sought a more professional looking image in the winter of 2016. Skinny jeans began to be replaced by straight leg jeans designed to follow the contours of the body,
and other accessories that declined in popularity included chokers, gaudy brand labels,
ripped jeans, patches, and pin badges due to their childish connotations.
Men's clothing [ edit ]
Early 2010s (2010–13) [ edit ]
Neon colors [ edit ]
Neon colors and elaborate T-shirts were popular for much of the early 2010s, especially graphic print hoodies, novelty socks, red or blue skinny jeans, studded belts with large buckles, and Ed Hardy T-shirts embellished with rhinestones.
Many styles from the late 2000s remained fashionable in Europe, Australasia, and the Americas, with brands such as Polo Ralph Lauren and J Crew being well favored.
1990s revival [ edit ]
Maroon baseball jackets and ringer Tees featuring a specific sports team's logo were particularly popular in the Philippines due to the widespread media coverage of the UAAP Games athletes.
Business casual [ edit ]
The business casual look of the 1990s and early 2000s remained common in many parts of the Americas, with jeans, loafers, boat shoes and sneakers being seen as acceptable to wear in the workplace.
The decline in the formality of men's fashion that started in the 1960s continued until 2012, with men wearing informal clothing on a regular basis, even at work or while travelling, as an apparent extension of Beau Brummell 's older idea that gentlemen shouldn't try to outshine the ladies for attention.
This contrasted to Britain, Italy, Europe, and the urban Northeastern US, where more formal Mad Men -inspired business clothing such as slim-fitting grey two piece suits had made a comeback in the workplace during the early 2010s.
At this time, tweed cloth sportcoats became acceptable town wear, and business suits imitated the broad shouldered, form fitting styles of the 1920s,
sometimes with contrasting lapel piping.
Mid 2010s (2014–16) [ edit ]
Workwear and luxury sportswear [ edit ]
In 2014, men's fashion was heavily influenced by the improving economy and fashion-conscious cities such as London, New York City, Paris, and Milan, as well as imitating elements of luxury fashion and sportswear. Bright colors, studded belts and retro styled graphic prints
(especially 1960s-80s advertising logos, classic rock bands, and the loud Ed Hardy shirts) went out of style
in favor of plain black, white,
Common clothing items in the Americas, Britain and Russia
included tailored marl sweatpants,
tracksuits, leather jackets, denim jackets, DHL T shirts, thick oversized anoraks, unstructured blazers, double-breasted sportcoats,
shorts riding above the knee (toward a 5" inseam, down from 15"),
Sales in floral print clothing designs for men more than doubled amongst fashion retailers between 2013 and 2014.
fashion item in western cultures.
In China and Europe, retro feiyue martial arts sneakers in red, white and blue made a comeback.
Formal business wear [ edit ]
In the UK, Italy, Australia
and US, many professional men wear grey mohair or houndstooth office suits, usually with two-button fastening, a single vent, and narrow lapels
Businessmen in Asian countries like the Philippines generally followed the trend, but dispensed with the necktie in favor of a semi-formal, simple shirt better suited to the hot tropical climate. As part of the general 1980s revival, the waistcoat
made a comeback as part of the three piece suit in Europe and the US. In the early 2010s these suits were mostly charcoal grey,
(especially in Australia and America),
In the UK, US and Germany, the suits of the mid 2010s often featured checks,
and the stripes on pinstripe suits became narrower
Thin ties remained the norm, but the simple notch lapels of 2010 were increasingly replaced by shawl collars and peak lapels on single breasted three piece suits.
By 2016, the black and silver digital wristwatches of the early 2010s had gone out of style
among professional men in favor of classic oversized analog wristwatches with round black,
and traditional brown, tan or black leather straps.
Continuing on from the 2000s, fur ushanka and Astrakhan caps were often worn at wintertime formal occasions in Russia,
as both a symbol of national pride, and as a means of rejecting the excesses of Westernising globalization.
In Afghanistan and Uzbekistan, however, the wearing of traditional dress such as the Astrakhan cap, kurta and pajama began to decline among professionals in favor of a Western style suit and tie, as part of a wider backlash against Hamid Karzai 's regime.
African fashion [ edit ]
The mid 2010s witnessed the beginnings of Africa's own haute couture
due to increased restriction on secondhand mitumba clothing in Kenya and Uganda.
Contemporary clothing in Africa is often cut to unisex Western patterns but uses indigenous fabric associated with folk costume, such as a sportcoat made from striped kikoy fabric,
At the same time, some aspects of traditional attire such as wooden jewelry or the Dashiki were worn by expatriate Africans in the West, African Americans,
and some liberal white Americans.
In South Africa and the Congo, Dandies known as sapeurs and swenkas began imitating the wardrobes of the previous colonialist regime, by importing expensive modern three piece designer suits and customising them with vintage accessories such as the fedora, spats, bowtie and cane.
Late 2010s (2017–19) [ edit ]
Relaxed look [ edit ]
By spring 2017, fashion designers in the US began to move away from the slim fitting casual attire of the previous year, and frequently combined business casual pieces with sportswear.
Brown replaced black as the most popular color for leather jackets, and common accessories included orange hoodies, black track pants, faded jeans covered in iron-on patches, black
Timberland boots, navy blue wool coach jackets, graphic print tees featuring a small statement design,
and white Adidas sneakers.
including the cargo style with external pockets which came back slightly slimmer and slightly dressy in some cases, skate shoes declined in popularity,
In the American workplace, brown suits made a comeback,
unstructured suits became popular in Britain as an alternative to the restrictive, slim fitting styles of the late 2000s,
wide neckties (frequently in patterned paisley silk, red and blue stripes, or knitted wool in black, tan or grey) replaced the thin styles of the mid 2000s,
1970s and Britpop influences [ edit ]

featuring birds, skulls, dragons or tigers, bomber jackets with orange linings, Converse modern sneakers in silver, red, royal blue, or green,
Youth fashion [ edit ]
Hipsters and steampunks [ edit ]
By the early 2010s, British, American, and Filipino indie clothing had moved away from the bright colors and overt 1960s styling of the mid-2000s in favor of a more "grown up" intellectual look, with 1990s style earth-tones like grey, burgundy, brown, teal, and beige.
homemade jewelry, and thrift store chic plaid shirts remained popular in Europe.
Drop crotch pants, designed by the Danish brand Humör, became more and more popular in Europe amongst hipsters and hip hop fans, who replaced their skinny jeans and carpenter jeans with "old school but modern" style.
The look is based on modern business casual wear, everyday casual attire worn by older men, and the geek chic clothing worn by stereotypical nerds during the 1980s.
The fanny pack accessory made a late comeback in 2018 with new packs introduced by fashion designers Gucci, Prada, and Louis Vuitton. Reasons for the "belt bag" being in vogue was attributed to changing lifestyle needs that made categories like luggage, backpacks and even fanny packs popular items on shopping and wish-lists during the 2018 holiday season, along with a persisting taste for throwback fashion, particularly 1980s nostalgia.
In the Americas, Australia and Japan, steampunk gained regional popularity among some young people aged 18–25.
From 2011-15, members of this subculture often combined Neo-Victorian
Classic preppy [ edit ]
From 2012 onwards, seersucker blazers and pants made a comeback among young American men
due to a resurgence of interest in classic preppy clothing
and the 1920s fashion showcased in The Great Gatsby. Although pale blue and dark blue stripes remained the most popular choice, alternative colors included green, red and brown. The traditional two button blazer was updated with a slimmer cut and Edwardian inspired lapel piping,
and double breasted jackets became available during the mid 2010s.
and Toms shoes rather than the traditional dark green jackets with gold trim.
Throughout the 2010s, Preppy women wore flip flops, ballet flats, Keds worn in ads by Mischa Barton, Ariana Grande and Taylor Swift, Sperry Top-Sider boat shoes, layered shirts and tees, cold shoulder tops, capri pants, ankle length pants, colored jeans, opaque or footless tights, tweed cloth or plaid skirts, skater dresses, skater skirts, baby doll dresses, cotton shorts in pastel colors, Uggs, Hunter boots brand rain boots, leg warmers, white or pastel colored skinny jeans, railroad stripe blouses, knee socks, flat knee high riding boots, jeggings, capri or ankle length leggings worn with shorts, dresses and skirts, oversized sweaters, bike shorts with or without lace trim, 3/4 length sleeved shirts, tees and polos, Nike Tempo shorts, and crew neck sweatshirts bearing the name and crest of the school or college. The British equivalent of preppies, known as Sloane rangers, dressed similarly, by combining traditional British upper class fashions such as tweed cloth sportcoats, white pants, jodhpurs, barbour jackets, practical knitwear, Chanel clothing, or strings of pearls with androgynous and revealing tailoring inspired by reality TV stars and supermodels like Cara Delevingne, including PVC skirts, lace blouses, designer brand sneakers, or cropped blue and white cardigans that exposed the stomach.

Scene kids and seapunks [ edit ]
From 2010-2012, the androgynous scene subculture (also known regionally as "Shamate" and "Coloridos") remained common in the West Coast United States, Europe, Australasia, parts of Asia,
and South America, especially in the Brazilian city of Fortaleza.

Seapunk, a fusion of scene, electronic dance music and hipster culture, began as an online internet meme before becoming a niche street fashion in Germany, Brazil
This movement influenced several mainstream pop and hip-hop artists during the mid 2010s, most notably Azealia Banks, Frank Ocean,
Seapunks often combined brightly dyed androgynous hairstyles
lots of green, light blue, turquoise, cyan or aquamarine clothing, smiley motifs, and red and blue 3-Dimensional images.
Hip-hop [ edit ]
Retro 1980s and 1990s fashions like snapbacks, skinny acid-wash jeans, bucket hats, Retro curved peak mid-late 1990s inspired strapback caps (commonly known as "Dad Hats"),
baseball jackets, nylon tracksuits, varsity jackets, Vans, Chuck Taylors, rain boots, retro Nikes, Shell tube socks, leather jackets, Levis, Adidas and Nike apparel, gold chains, Ray Ban sunglasses, Air Jordans, and oversized sweaters, and colors such as red, green, and yellow, made a comeback in the African American community due to the influence of drum and bass, rave music, and indie pop -inspired rappers. Independent brands have risen to popularity, as well as floral print items and tie-dye items. Timberlands are particularly popular in New York as a fashionable and durable shoe.
By the 2010s, the boots' popularity is mainstream, and a staple in the fall and winter months.
Controversially, high fashion magazines including Vogue and Elle have credited models rather than rappers with making Timberlands fashionable.
Fashion designers such as Riccardo Tisci and Rick Owens begin to gain a new popularity within hip hop, popularized by rappers such as Kanye West and A$AP Rocky. Such designers inspire a "darker" aesthetic involving monochromatic colour schemes (usually black or grey), extra-long shirts usually sporting oversized neck openings and asymmetrical hems, skinny jeans that are worn with long inseams and an aggressive taper to cause bunching up or "stacks" near the ankle (a style heavily popularized and sported by Kanye) and high-top sneakers. Black boots, leather jackets, denim vests, bombers, monochrome sports jerseys, waxed jeans, black varsity jackets, tapered sweatpants, drop-crotch trousers, layering shorts over leggings and occasionally floral print are all popular trends within this style as well. Other notable rappers that sport this look include Kendrick Lamar, Danny Brown, and Pusha T.
Skater culture is also heavily prominent in hip hop fashion, largely attributed to alternative rapper Tyler the Creator and his group OFWGKTA.
Models of shoes from Vans - such as the authentics, slip-ons, sk8-his, era, and "old skool" - were popularized in the hip hop community by him and Kanye West.
Brands such as Supreme, Obey, merchandise from Odd Future, Tyler, the Creator's Golf Wang clothing line, HUF, and the apparel of skate magazine Thrasher are popular in hip hop and street style.
With the rise of alternative hip-hop subcultures, such as Cloud Rap and Emo Rap in the late 2010s, Sad boy culture becomes prominent.
It typically consists of teen guys, wearing bucket hats, slim or skinny jeans and black and white cloths with colorful computer aesthetics, japanese lettering, or sad faces.
Many features of this fashion come from the Emo subculture of the previous decade.
Cholo and chicano [ edit ]
By 2015, many young chicanos on the American West Coast had abandoned the garish Western inspired clubwear in favor of a more authentic 1950s inspired look. Pachuco style Zoot suits, fedoras and panama hats made a comeback,
together with more typical casual rockabilly fashions for everyday wear such as slim jeans, black leather jackets, bowling shirts, brightly colored blouses and flouncy skirts for girls, polka dot dresses with petticoats, and flowers worn in the hair.
Due to the spread of Hallyu Wave worldwide, millions of Asian and Asian-American youths have become addicted to K-Pop. These are the people who love listening to South Korean music and follow the style of artists and pop groups like Big Bang, Wonder Girls, Kim Soo Hyun, or Gangnam Style singer Psy.
Best beard types
Since the Korean girl and boy bands wore extravagant clothing, some of the hardcore fans in China, Korea, America and South-east Asian countries like the Philippines tried to copy their idols and started wearing K-Pop style hairstyles and clothing.
These included skull, floral or honeycomb prints, monochromatic shirts, silk jackets featuring stylized Asian art prints or pop art,
leather skirts, black and neon printed leggings, retro joggers, short shorts, black and gold jewelry, brightly colored tuxedo jackets, tracksuits, basketball shirts, leather caps, and sequined or glitter jackets.
Jejemon [ edit ]
During the early part of the 2010s, a new youth subculture called Jejemon arose in the Philippines, sparking a brief moral panic among some older conservatives and other youths.
The Philippine Daily Inquirer describes Jejemons as a "new breed of hipster who have developed not only their own language and written text but also their own subculture and fashion.
These predominantly working class youths are associated with wearing trucker hats and use their own language through texting and via social media such as Facebook.
They are often criticized by others for not using the words properly; even the Department of Education discouraged use of the Jejemon language. Apart from the language, the Jejemons were also criticized for their fashion and manners. From early 2013 onwards, with the rise of smartphones which began to overtake feature phones in terms of sales in the country, the phenomenon seems to have made a gradual decline in mainstream popularity. For the remaining years of the decade, it would drop its text messaging-centered aspect in social media and now refers to the rap-centered subculture who usually wear counterfeit hip-hop clothing.
2010s beauty trends [ edit ]
Hairstyles [ edit ]
Women's hairstyles in the early 2010s had been fairly individualistic, although most British, Irish, Australian, Russian, Korean, and continental European women kept the simplistic, straight, long and natural coloured hairstyles of the mid 2000s. Many women also used hair extensions to make their hair look much longer and fuller.
volumized curly hair, perms and crimped hair were briefly fashionable from 2010–12,
By the mid 2010s, straight and wavy hairstyles were dominant globally,
By 2013 it had become increasingly fashionable for European, Asian and American women to cut their hair into shorter styles, such as the pixie cut, crop, bob cut or the undercut.
Solid colored hair was generally considered the most fashionable in the early years of the decade, but from 2011-14 it became increasingly common for Western women to dye their hair in an ombré style, usually long and preferably parted in the middle, as the side part became associated with the previous decade aesthetics. Wavy hair began to decline in popularity from 2017 onwards, but bone straight hair remained common in Britain and Europe. A messy bun, often worn on the top of the head, has been popular in the late 2010s.
At the beginning of the decade, Rihanna started a trend of cherry red hairstyles for black women in America.
opting for natural products to style their hair. Zoë Kravitz and Beyoncé helped re-popularize braided hairstyles including box braids
During the mid 2010s, some curly haired American women also choose to wear weaves and wigs in imitation of celebrities like Lady Gaga or Rihanna, in order to avoid the damage of relaxers previously popular in the early 2000s.
Cornrows which media outlets misnamed "boxer braids" due to their use by female MMA fighters and Hilary Swank 's character in Million Dollar Baby, became popular among white American women from 2016 onwards, despite perceived cultural appropriation from black American women.
In the early 2010s, men's 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s haircuts have undergone a revival, with many British professionals aged 18–30 wearing businessman's haircuts with side partings,
The undercut has been a particularly ubiquitous trend since the early part of the decade, seeing popularity across different social groups in both Western and Asian cultures.
These gradually replaced
popular among teenagers and young men since 2010.
In the Americas and the Middle East, the military haircut and buzzcut are relatively popular among balding men, or the side parted hair with some volume on the top, inspired by footballer Cristiano Ronaldo.
For African-American and black men in general, mohawk variants of the Afro, The 360 Waves, jheri curl and The Taper were popular in the early to mid 2010s, as are shaved patterns or "steps" into variants of the buzzcut. The High Top Fade, often with a bleached blonde streak inspired by Wiz Khalifa, came back into style among African American youth on the West Coast. Starting from late 2014, variants of tapered Dreadlocks and Hair twists hair styles became widely popular amongst many black teens and young men.
From 2014 some teens and young men wore their hair in a type of topknot or "man bun"
By 2017, the undercut hairstyle and buzzcut began to decline in the United States, partly due to the unintended popularity of these haircuts among supporters of the alt-right,
In response, many liberal American men, including the Jewish actor and antifascist activist Shia Labeouf,
began to grow out their hair.
Meanwhile, British hipsters frequently left their undercut unstyled
For young girls, tween and teen girls, and college girls the bangs and thin headband combination has remained popular. Dutch braids, twin French braids, side ponytails, and a single chunky side braid are popular styles with longer hair. Side parting hair is popular, and ponytails are often worn when exercising or playing sports. In the late 2010s middle veins were very popular especially in Britain, Ireland and the rest of Europe. The chin length bob cut, long hair with choppy side bangs, and straight middle parted longer hair are also popular styles in the US, Europe, New Zealand and Australia.
and Australia during the early 2010s, a type of short mullet haircut with buzzed sides and bleached blond streaks became popular among male chavs, teenage Irish travellers, and urban youths of Iranian
By 2013, a long undercut or mohawk -like haircut, in which only one side of the head is buzzed,
By 2015 and 2016, the balayage - a softer version off the ombré - gained popularity, as well as having a blunt haircut instead of layered hair. The lob (long bob cut ) was considered a fresh alternative to the long hair sported by most teen girls and young women in Europe.
For boys, teen guys and college guys in The United States, Canada, Australasia, the UK and Korea,
of the late 2000s remain fashionable among American preppy guys.
Makeup and cosmetics [ edit ]
In Britain, the smoky eye look of the late 2000s carried on as a trend in many parts of the country. In other areas, these went out of fashion during the early and mid 2010s as women sought to imitate the fake tan and thick "Scouse brow" popularized by Kate Middleton, Cara Delevingne and the cast of The Only Way is Essex and Desperate Scousewives . Fake tan became the norm look for young teens especially in Ireland. Multiple layers of tan would be worn to giving an orange effect.
In the West, contouring (a technique using different shades of makeup to create highlighted angles, creating an illusion of higher cheekbones, slim nose and a sharper jawline) began to emerge.
Several other more short-lived trends were born out of this, such as strobing in 2015 and 2016 which consisted of using glowy highlighters to accentuate the high points of the face.
The early decade's "erased-mouth" and pale pink lipsticks were replaced by matte red by 2012-13, as sported by celebrities such as Taylor Swift and Rihanna. By 2015-16, mauve and brown shades of lipstick make a comeback from the 1990s, promoted by Kylie Jenner. Dark mascara, false eyelashes, dyed hair and cheek blusher were popularised by Instagram social media influencers in the UK, American and Dubai such as Olivia Buckland and Huda Kattan.
Unlike in previous decades, excessive use of fake-tans has become less popular in the United States, possibly due to tanning beds being linked to cancer.
In late 2016, minimalist, makeup looks and "dewy" natural skin saw a surge of popularity among young people, especially in New York City.
Body modifications [ edit ]
Continuing on from the 1990s and 2000s, body modifications remained popular among many teenagers and blue collar men and women in the US, Britain, Japan, Israel, Singapore,
New Zealand and Australia, especially traditional Japanese tattoos.
Old school tattoos were popularised by female celebrities like Kat Von D imitating the pinup girls of the 1950s, and by men like footballer David Beckham, pop star Harry Styles or Justin Bieber aspiring for the "tough guy" look. From 2013-2019, the earrings, metallic bone tattoos, portraits of animals, relatives or celebrities, and tongue piercings that had gained mainstream acceptance in the late 2000s were joined by more extreme modifications such as stretched piercings, facial tattoos popularized by rappers like 6ix9ine
Facial hair [ edit ]
In many Western countries, the United States, Iraq,
the growing of a full beard became a popular trend amongst young men from 2011-2019, with some suggesting this was due to the influence of the hipster subculture, the lumbersexual ideal, and the Movember campaign.
An increase in facial hair transplants was reported in the United Kingdom within the first three years of the decade, and the trend approached what researchers predicted would be a 'peak' level of desirability.
Beards remained common for much of the mid to late-2010s, but by the end of 2016, many men favoured shorter, neatly-groomed styles.
