The sparkly, shiny fabrics will look bomb under the light of the dance floor as you break it down to Taylor Swift remixes and Ice Spice songs. One of the greatest tales of transformation is the story of a mermaid going from sea to land, turning into a human and experiencing what goes on above the water’s surface.

Ethical clothing brands

In an age when we view clothes primarily through online images, trompe l’oeil pieces blur the boundary between real life and virtual trickery—plus, they also happen to look supremely cool on. Although you can certainly choose to bare it all under a thin layer of mesh or organza, the summer 2023 runways proved that see-through materials can also be modest.

The great news is that these styles are not exclusive to any season; they can pretty much get you through the year (and your life, teehee). Fashion is a mix of creativity and style, making it an easy medium to have fun with. While there will always be style trends to follow, there are also opportunities to add some whimsy to your closet with the help of some adventurous fashion designers.

While it appears that brands have embraced the country’s cultural phenomenon — better known as the Korean Wave or Hallyu in recent years — it is not new.

Earlier this year, analysts presented data regarding the South Korean consumers’ spending power. CNBC recently reported that the total spending on personal luxury goods by South Koreans increased by 24% to $16.8 billion USD.

Cut-outs continued to dominate formal wear on the New York runways but this time, designers were picking a side.

If you, like me, are short, finding trends and pieces that work for your height can sometimes be tricky.
