The social media trends of the last year have definitely been a blast – here are some of the most prominent of the year.
Although the app TikTok has been “banned” by now, the app held some fun moments with fashion, pop culture, and significant releases that have already brought in nostalgia for the good times.
One of the most prominent trends of the last year was the summer release of Charli xcx’s “BRAT” album, sparking an internet wave of love for the album and a newfound love of just being that girl. The album brought in many people identifying the brat aesthetic of the album, which in summary, is just being a fun party animal who can be messy sometimes, and embracing that side of us is what brat really is.
Another huge trend was the popularization of the Roblox game “Dress To Impress”, a fashion game with realistic graphics and tons of customization for the player to have fun with. Many social Media influencers, such as Lana’s Life, have significantly blown up because of the game, further fueling the fire that is Roblox’s player base.
Many brands blew up last year, one of them being the “Sol De Janeiro” perfume. This scent line particularly blew up in the “preppy” community, for its fun colors and simplistic yet cute design.
Another beauty trend was the “Milk Makeup” jelly blush, which, as it sounds, is a gelatinous version of blush, easily applicable in a stick.
Fashion micro-trends certainly got their spotlight, with the use of leopard print dramatically increasing. People had also found tying bows in your hair to be quite fashionable.
A bag brand that blew up, simply known as “The tote bag” by Marc Jacobs, swept up the fashion world with its minimalistic designs and large space.
Overall, It’s safe to say that 2024 was quite the year, for music, fashion, and gamers alike.
