💡 Today’s Insight 💡
🗞 TL;DR - Trends are a fun way to bring your brand into public conversation, but sometimes it feels like if you don’t take part in every trend, you’ll be missing out. Vogue Business provides some tips for luxury brands to help determine whether a trend should be followed or skipped.
💡 Insight - In the moment, micro-trends can feel pretty big. Think of girl dinner, coquette, demure, and brat girl summer, for example. They’re all pretty major themes for up to a week, then they drop off. That’s important to remember here: trends will feel big in the moment, but small in retrospect.
It’s also important to remember that trends often originate with users and influencers, not brands. Inevitably, brands will dip in and out of trends, but it’s easy for brands to come across as cringey and out-of-touch if a trend is executed poorly or if it’s overdone.
The brands that do find success in getting involved in micro-trends often are the ones that fit their products and brand into the aesthetic of the trend, not just doing trends because it’s hot. Brands should stay true to their mission and style – if a trend fits into that, great. But always ask yourself: are you doing this just for views? Or because it’s really relevant and timely for your brand?
