Micro Trends Are Officially Dying... Here’s What's Next

Is it just us, or is there a new "-core" aesthetic popping up every time you refresh your feed? This week, Leigh and Lucinda are calling time on the relentless cycle of micro trends.

From the "Tomato Girl" summering in the Mediterranean to the "Coastal Grandma" sipping wine in the Hamptons, they’re breaking down why we’re all feeling a little bit of "trend fatigue." They discuss the shift toward purpose-driven dressing, the rise of the underconsumption-core movement, and why your next favourite designer piece might actually be waiting for you on Depop.
