If you're looking at today's top trends and thinking that 2023 looks an awful lot like 2003 or even 1993, well, same. Y2K fashion and '90s staples are still going strong, especially among celebrities, who are often spotted wearing items such as cargo pants and tube tops or layering dresses over jeans.
Fast fashion stores have definitely jumped on these trends, producing cheap replicas of throwback looks. But if you really want your outfit to stand out, vintage shopping is the way to go. It's an easy way to express personal style and find special pieces that no one else you know owns.
Celebrity fashion stylist Mimi Cuttrell — who is well-known for dressing Gigi Hadid, Ariana Grande, Madelyn Cline, Normani, and more — is a big fan of shopping secondhand. The Depop partner even shared a few smart tips with InStyle for how to find fun pieces.
“Including the key words “Rare" or “Vintage" ahead of any products and trends you are searching for will unlock so many incredible sellers with impeccable taste to purchase and source items from," Cuttrell tells us over email. "Discovering truly one-a-kind items has been so fun!"
The pro also broke down the 2023 shoe, shirt, and jeans trends worth buying on Depop, helping us enhance our wardrobes for the year ahead.
