Ima start- I have an interest in both kidcore and Lolita ~(NOT THE BOOK, ITS A JAPANESE FASHION TREND)~ Fashion. I always wanted to combine the two to get this pastel, simple but kiddish style. Lots of baby blues and pinks, A whole lot of overalls and pig tails. Just cutesy and innocent :D It’s like Kidcore but minus the Lego brick color themes. I’d probably call it uhhhh… I think Teenybopper would be cute!
(Please refrain from insulting me in the comments thank you- I’m hella slow and sometimes may not choose the right words when typing. Thank you w)
I don’t know what I would call it, but I have been wanting a more furry style for quite a while. Like hoodies that have ears on the hood (or hats with the same), things that are actually fuzzy and such, tail belts that actually work as belts, etc. Not just character designs on t-shirts or just using furry art on the clothing.

I have an instance of Stable Diffusion. Lessee if it can mock up “Kolanki Superfurry”.

I dunno about this one. That’s kinda a novel placement, so SD can’t infer much about where stuff goes. Maybe you could do it with more-elaborate stuff like regional hints or ControlNet or something, but that’d take more work.
pokes away for a while
Eh. Yeah, doesn’t do all that well. The problem is that tails are normally portrayed as being much lower than a belt is normally worn.
This breathes “Roblox animal hoodies but IRL” and tbh- Im here for it.
Bring back short shorts for guys. I’m sorry about the occasional accidental testicle shot, but they are very comfortable and not always gay.
Using a real life photo rather than a Stable Diffusion mockup, as it’s an existing style:
Men need to acknowledge the power of their legs and do it fast before I SNAP. Too many dudes just be like “Oh nah- its too gay” and fucking seal em off, thus ending the days of Leg appreciation./hj
I have an old, ripped up pair of work pants I use to do outdoor work like mowing the lawn. About a month ago a new rip appeared at the base of my buttocks that I didn’t really notice until one day I went to mow sans underwear. Lemme tell ya, the brief breezes of cool air that would get me right in the nethers was so refreshing. Like drinking from a crystal clear and cool mountain stream, except with my balls.
So if not short-shorts, perhaps some expertly tailored pants with breathable mesh in specific areas? or kilts? kilts would work great 👌
This is my main beef with men’s fashion. Men naturally stay hotter than women, but they get all the revealing clothing and thin fabrics. Maybe I need booty shorts and a crop top while mowing in 90 degree heat. Why is it always baggy basketball shorts and beefy t’s unless you want to do $80 at lulu lemon
Be the change you wanna see, king.
80’s horror movie hunk chic
I assume that that’s what you had in mind, as hitting Kagi for “short shorts”, “hunk”, and “80s horror movie” consistently turned this movie up.
WHERE THE FUCK HAVE I BEEN NOT KNOWING THIS.
Damn it- now i gotta spend the next 30 minutes gushing and fangirling about it >:(
Imagine how much range of motion he has!
We’re bringin’ back capes and cloaks.
To prevent the obvious reference, the trend will be called, “‘No capes’ only applies to superheroes.”
MY AUTISTIC ASS WOULD LOVE THIS
Be the change you want to see in the world

Ah, okay, not a style, but a decade-old meme that I hadn’t run into?

It’s from the movie, Mean Gurls.
It’s never going to happen.
I’d want to take the fedora back from the incels and neckbeards. Other currently out of fashion hats and caps too, but the fedora has been too monopolized by inceldom when it’s a perfectly serviceable hat for folks who wanna dress up from ball caps.
I am IN-FUCKING-LOVE with this website. Hands down. It all looks so fucking wholesome and endearing to me. Buncha holder men cherishing that nice, vintage-style look and rocking it real well. Found this picture and I smiled so fuckin hard. He looks like sucha kind man, A grandfather I wish I had but never met. This makes me hopeful.
wait damn it wrong comment
It’s not on the Threadiverse, but if you like retrowear, I remember seeing The Fedora Lounge, a forum with a bunch of people who are into retrowear and are willing to go to far more work than I am to obtain, reconstruct, commission, maintain and wear it. It was fun to browse images of, though.

EDIT: I think that a lot of the reason that hats got clobbered was people spending more time indoors. If I’m outside and the sun is really blazing down, having a broad-brimmed, light, mesh-sided hat is nice. If it’s raining, having a hat (or hood or something) so that water doesn’t head down inside my collar. But…if you’re inside, you don’t get the benefit of the portable shade or protection from the elements. And a lot of time that people aren’t in a structure with a roof, they’re in a vehicle with a roof.
In the heyday of the hat, it was proper to take the thing off indoors. So if one follows the same convention, for most, there’s just less time for the thing to spend on one’s head than it was when people were spending a lot more time outdoors.
EDIT2: Since it’s an existing style, a shot of a fedora from Double Indemnity:

Ah, glad you like it!
It’s got tons of years of posts on there, though unfortunately, a lot of people used external image hosting places that ultimately purged images, which kind of killed the longevity of many of the older forum posts in some cases. There is, perhaps, a lesson for the Threadiverse here…
I remember seeing some guy on there who IIRC said that he was a police detective, and was determined to dress like one from the 1940s or so at work – the kinda stuff you see in film noir movies. Was pretty classy-looking, IMHO. I would never, ever go to anything approaching that much effort, but I enjoy watching other people doing it. There are also some women who are determined to do noir femme fatale looks on there, all sorts of fun stuff.
I see a fair bit of fedoras at music festivals and even some hiking or beach days. I think the trilby is a goner though
kidcore and Lolita…baby blues and pinks…overalls and pig tails…“Teenybopper”
“Teenybopper” a la Stable Diffusion:
OMYGAWD THATS LIKE- IT THATS LIKE LITERALLY EVERYTHING I WANNA BE OH MYGOD.
You have the next 24 hours to find me some overalls like that or else I’ll pipebomb ur mailbox /j
I’m sure that there are people out there who will take commission work, given sizing information, maybe a photograph of what you want and any tweaks you want done. I’m not really familiar with that world myself, though, couldn’t suggest anything. I’m pretty much an off-the-shelf clothing kinda person myself.
Good luck, though!
I think that we’re kind of not answering OP’s question, since exactly one person as of this writing other than him has a new style, and everyone else is nostalgic for older styles that people aren’t wearing any more, so I hate to add to the “nostalgia” pile, but I kind of miss the denim jacket from the 1980s. Sometimes quilted, if you needed extra heat. Was durable, though not appropriate for precipitation, since it couldn’t shed water. I don’t really live where I need heat, but I remember really liking them. They were comfortable, very tough, not very expensive, and I liked the look.
Jeans have never gone away since they showed up in the 19th century…but the denim jacket seems to me to be a lot less common.
Today, I’ll sometimes wear a loose, very light, unbuttoned denim shirt over a T-shirt, which is about as much as I need, heat-wise. This kind of thing:
Light denim shirt:
People certainly wear those all the time. Kinda miss the thicker, tough denim jacket, though. Haven’t had one for ages. And I didn’t just like wearing it myself, but like how it looks on others, and it works for both genders.
Don’t really understand why denim pants had so much more staying power and universality than the denim jacket. They seemed like a good pair.
My fashion dream is that everyone is wearing sweatpants and comfortable clothing or whatever the hell they want.
But- People kinda already do that ;w; especially now adays, Im asking for more Alt-fashion type styles, goth, street japanese, academia, etc…
Power Hatting.
The style is expressed by trying to have the most powerful hat; by which I mean the most big, intimidating, unwieldy monstrosity of a hat possible. One that’s so big and complicated that you can barely hold your head up and might even need shoulder bracing.
The purpose is to invent a fad that is hilariously stupid to watch people try and follow so that I can point and the laugh at them all the way to the bank. Because fashion is stupid, and money is useful.
Mens formalwear needs a complete overhaul. Lapels and ties change width, but a suit is a suit is a suit and has largely been unchanged for decades.
I don’t know what to call a change I’d like to see, something different.
There are Japanese street coats with wide, tall collars that are almost hoods:
Some formal equivalent of that?
Aw fuck yea
I’m all for the eradication of formal wear. It only exists to reinforce the class divide. Well that and to make a bunch of assholes a lot of money.
Men’s formal wear is already dying. Outside of some sales roles, no one wears a suit any more.
So happy to see Tim Walz campaign without a tie(!)
Go back to weekly baths and wear the same outfit every day without washing. Would benefit the environment, reduce slave labor in the fashion industry, and keep people away from me.

Thats already a style. Its called Depression+Horrible sleep schedual
Can I make t-shirts + shorts + flip flops become a new formal wear if it’s fashionable enough?
As for something more fashion-y, for men, I’d make something with lots of freedom of movement, aesthetics as pure afterthought. I hate stuff that shows my belly whenever my arms go up or legwear that won’t let me sit, crouch, stretch or anything without feeling like my fat ass can rip the fabric at any time.
A trend that is focused on turquoise and teal colours, maybe mixed with white to represent sea foam. I would call it “Neptunian” relating to the Roman god of the ocean! 🐚
Anything making n95s, kn95s, and kf94s more common.
Maybe mix it with one a them big cyberpunk too many pockets jackets
Hats
I don’t care what kind.
People should wear more hats in general.
We should bring back tricorns, I just think they are neat.
