Fashion in the 2030s, 2040s

[citali_]

For anyone who into fashion and clothing, I hope to see major changes in the fashion industry during the 2030s. It seems we've been recycling fads and fashion from the past, and mixing them up with currents fads. That definitely needs to stop. I really want to see some new and unusual fashion trends. I have soo many ideas for what could be future fashion! And I'm not even a designer. For the most part, I am excited because I have a feeling that fashion in the next 10 or 20 years will change.

I hope there will be advancements in sweatpants and sandals since that's what I'll still be wearing.

I mean, I don't see recycling old styles and trends and mixing them with new ones ever ending. That's just how fashion is. We're always going to recycle, change, and mix what's come before. People 100 years from now will probably still be wearing denim jeans. If we're really lucky, jeggings will come back in fashion.

However, I do see new trends occurring. Remember when clothes with light up LEDs first arrived, and they were kind of chintzy? Yeah, imagine that but if it had been actually cool and interesting. You decide what images the lights form, you can have them change color, you can have them blink on and off in intervals you decide, all on an app. You can have a sweater with a scrawling flow of text, and you get to pick the text and change it whenever you want for instance.

It's not the same as say, a blouse that changes colors to your whim, we're still off a good 20-30 years for that probably, but it's something.

We'll also have a lot of sensors in our clothing, so it can detect your blood sugar from your sweat or whatever, but strictly speaking that's not a part of the fashion element. Unless you have the LEDs in your shirt blink red if your blood sugar is too high or something, then it kind of becomes fashion.

Advancements are going on in every field. From fashion to technology, everything is changing.

[funkervogt]

In the 2050s:

Personal “cloaking devices” made of clothes studded with pinhole cameras and thin, flexible sheets of LEDs, colored e-ink, or some metamaterial with similar abilities will be commercially available. The cameras will monitor the appearance of the person’s surroundings and tell the display pixels to change their colors to match.

The “cloaking” outfits will also have benign applications related to fashion and everyday utility. People wearing them could use them to display morphing patterns and colors of their choice. It would even be possible to become a “walking TV.” The pixels could also be made to glow bright white, allowing the wearer to turn any part of his body into a flashlight. Ski masks made of the same material would let wearers change their facial features, fooling most face recognition cameras and certainly fooling the unaided eyes of humans, at least at a distance.

There is an obvious, clear trend.

Everyone is going to be naked. Change my mind.

Also not a fashion designer, but it often follow lifestyles.

Once the stirrup was invented and made it's way over to Europe in the Middle Ages, men started to wear heels. The shape of the leg caught on and eventually women started to wear heels. Now, horses are not a way off life anymore for most, so that for the most part men don't wear heels anymore except when built into something like cowboy boots.

So what is the technology and cultural trend we are seeing today?

1) Tattoos. Much more socially acceptable than even just a handful of years ago. When I was younger you only had tat's if you were in a gang or some other social degenerate, and if they weren't covered, you basically nixed yourself from any real career. Now... EVERYONE has them and it is celebrated. The problem with them, is that they are more or less permanent (yes, they can be removed, but it's not perfect, it takes time money and pain) so...
E-Ink Textiles. I don't see LEDs and light up scrolling messages being mainstream for awhile considering the amount of power would have to be built in and wearing around. But clothes with E-Ink displays? Totally. Download or create a design, and wear it for the day. Change if tomorrow if you like.


2) 3D Printed Textiles and Body Positivity. Society is changing where a growing number of body types is more acceptable. In the near future (in America at least) a majority of the population will be overweight, and eventually, obese. Also 3D printing will be more affordable, quicker and widespread so...
We will have custom fitted outfits. Currently we tend to end up with overly baggy clothes, or ones that are too tight in the wrong areas. Near future, they will be perfectly and highlights our best features. Style wise this means a much great variety in styles to accommodate a wildly diverging selection of body types. So I'm picturing fashion will be both more form fitting and more comfortable than today.

I tried being a nudist alone in my own home - I did not like the feeling of most furniture on my bare butt at all and started wearing underwear again. Everything you sit on gets all rumpled under you and makes your skin sweaty, it's just unpleasant.

[Time_Traveller]

I am not majorly into fashion but i hope in the 2030s you get self-zipping zips on coats so they don't get stuck. Something like this: - https://www.engineering.com/story/mits- ... ng-zippers

Eccentric fashion, and hairstyles

[Nanotechandmorefuture]

There is an obvious, clear trend.

Everyone is going to be naked. Change my mind.

In the club or some cool settings sure. At home? Hell naw. I'll take the cool tech clothing.

Body positivity will definitely continue I agree, though I feel as if the pandemic mess kinda set it back a bit. It's more to due with hygiene and whatnot I think, rather than being ashamed or shamed for it.

The Neo-Victorian style of the game in my avi is classier than the 80s retreads of ripped jeans or yoga/workout mixes, but it still falls into OP's category of "recycling old styles and trends and mixing them with new ones."





You never know with fashion, the whole Gothic Lolita and similar trends in Japan are actually sorta similar to this aesthetic. I could see the ultra wealthy try to revive something this strange too. Definitely not so soon as the game's timeline though... we're currently very much on casual.

Oh true! I didn't think about the clothing in game! Deus Ex man. I cherish it!

[MythOfProgress]

surprised there is no post-apocalyptic styles or slow fashion styles mentioned. dressing for practicality in most situations is what most ppl will jump to when SHTF, like bill.

when not in any combat style encounters and going for casual/informal, will suppose most of the clothing will be reused or sewn from older clothes in efforts to be more enviro-friendly.
this is more feminine, so definitely not my style but amour vert is the brand name. using soft fabrics does give it a sort of timeless feel, with some handpicked and specially crafted designs that differs from traditional fast fashion clothing.

Ha. 2030s fashion trends. Coiture. I want to design clothing in the 2030s, aside from singing.

[Tadasuke]

Now... EVERYONE has them and it is celebrated.

Not everyone, but this is one of the worst changes I see. I hate how people make themselves worse looking by adding tattoos. I literally have the instinct to puke when I see one that is especially disgusting. This along with obesity is the worst of changes in the last 20 years. I really hope that both tattoos and obesity will completely go away by 2050 or I may not go outside and just spend time in VR or use AR to not see them (changing your view with AI). Bad-looking tattoos is something that can appear on some mob enemies in video games - bad guys you defeat. When I see tattoos, I think "They must have something wrong with their head.".

I can totally see this. And more eccentric fashion as well!

[Vakanai]

It's hard if not impossible to predict fashion trends in advance. The rock and roll greasers of the 50s couldn't predict the flower child hippie aesthetic of the 60s, nor could the bell bottom and polyester disco types of the 70s predict the somewhat more eccentric styles of the 80s (parachute pants or whatever, you know what I'm talking about).

That said the trend for decades now going back to the 40s or earlier has been that whatever else may come in and out of style, blue jeans and t-shirts are always staples. My guess is that we are still largely going to be wearing shirts and pants. Our main wardrobe hasn't changed all that much over the years.

One thing that I do think might change in fashion is with the new generation men and women will be less concerned over what's masculine or feminine in style, so fashion will be less influenced by gender roles and stereotypes. But this is just a guess and I could be dead wrong.

Future dinner party look

At first glance, this might not seem to apply to this thread. Still, it is about things that people do to alter their appearance.

Outbreak of Extensively Drug-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa Associated with Artificial Tears
February 1, 2023

Introduction:

(CDC) Summary

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) is issuing this Health Alert Network (HAN) Health Advisory about infections with an extensively drug-resistant strain of Verona Integron-mediated Metallo-β-lactamase (VIM) and Guiana-Extended Spectrum-β-Lactamase (GES)-producing carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (VIM-GES-CRPA) in 12 states. Most patients reported using artificial tears. Patients reported more than 10 different brands of artificial tears, and some patients used multiple brands. The majority of patients who used artificial tears reported using EzriCare Artificial Tears, a preservative-free, over-the-counter product packaged in multidose bottles. CDC laboratory testing identified the presence of the outbreak strain in opened EzriCare bottles with different lot numbers collected from two states. Patients and healthcare providers should immediately discontinue using EzriCare artificial tears pending additional guidance from CDC and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Background

As of January 31, 2023, CDC in partnership with state and local health departments identified 55 case-patients in 12 states (CA, CO, CT, FL, NJ, NM, NY, NV, TX, UT, WA, WI) with VIM-GES-CRPA, a rare strain of extensively drug-resistant P. aeruginosa. Thirty-five patients are linked to four healthcare facility clusters. Dates of specimen collection were from May 2022 to January 2023. Isolates have been identified from clinical cultures of sputum or bronchial wash (13), cornea (11), urine (7), other nonsterile sources (4), blood (2), and from rectal swabs (25) collected for surveillance; some patients had specimens collected from more than one anatomic site. These specimens were collected in both outpatient and inpatient healthcare settings. Patients had a variety of presentations including keratitis, endophthalmitis, respiratory infection, urinary tract infection, and sepsis. Patient outcomes include permanent vision loss resulting from cornea infection, hospitalization, and one death due to systemic infection.

Isolates in this outbreak are sequence type (ST) 1203, harbor blaVIM-80 and blaGES-9 (a combination not previously observed in the United States) and are closely related based on analysis of whole genome sequencing (WGS) data. These isolates are not susceptible to cefepime, ceftazidime, piperacillin-tazobactam, aztreonam, carbapenems, ceftazidime-avibactam, ceftolozane-tazobactam, fluoroquinolones, polymyxins, amikacin, gentamicin, and tobramycin; the subset of isolates that underwent antimicrobial susceptibility testing for cefiderocol were susceptible to this agent.

caltrek’s comment: Be careful out there.

Edit: On second thought, why do people want to create artificial tears?

Am I missing something?
