Can't tell the difference between your angel core and mermaid core? Struggling with the concept of subdued Gothic style? We are here to help you

Once upon a time, the fashion subculture was simple: on Saturday afternoon, you could see skaters, revellers and goths wandering around your local Woolworths branch. But now that fashion tribes have moved to the Internet, they are more likely to dress up for TikTok and Instagram than stores.

There is a bigger change: division and reproduction, fantasy and dressing stand out. For example, it was easy to recognize punk in the past, but now there are forest punk, ice punk and even lunar punk. If all this makes you dizzy, let us eliminate the confusion.

This is currently the biggest style tribe, they are definitely not cheugy...

What is it? This style is very slim, retro and sexy, a bit Kardashian, and may be suitable for fast fashion lovers. Think of Regina George in the high school movie "Mean Girl." Or through Hot Girl Summer, but all year long.

It tells us what fashion is experiencing its own love island effect: the neckline becomes lower and the skirt slits become higher. Gender-positive dressing is one thing-see "pins". Baddie also proved that Mean Girls was not dead.

What is the aesthetic of "less is less", which tends to be calm and concise and monochromatic. Keep the capsule wardrobe or buy customized second-hand items.

It tells us what pandemic has focused our attention on sustainable living and dressing. More and more people have created their carefully planned capsule wardrobes to get rid of excessive consumption.

What is it? Although it sounds like the name of a Microsoft Clippy girlfriend, E-girl is not that cute. Affected by animation, it is a computer-generated, filtered aesthetic for female students. This is difficult to maintain, especially when offline, but we think this is not the point. Grimes is a pinup girl.

It tells us what selfie filters have become so standardized, and they are now what young women want in real life.

What is it that has no real connection with E-girl (at least in terms of fashion). If you combine skateboarding style with Gothic style, and add Jack Grealish curtains and some jewelry, E-boy will appear.

It tells us that dressing like a rebel is a difficult thing to do. Certain clothes may be fashionable or outdated (such as leather jackets), but a burly boy is definitely a must-have for fashion.

It is the retro style of the 90s (headbands, shell necklaces, soft T-shirts), deeply influenced by surfers' aesthetics (hi, Kate Bosworth in Blue Crush) and anything related to California beaches.

It tells us what young people care about this planet (very Gen Z), and the 90s/00s are so historic now that they are considered retro.

What is the romantic metropolis concept of lush outdoor shapes: Anne of Green Gables or Laura Ashley (Laura Ashley). Cottagecore may be what happens when you spend a closed period in a hidden place in the countryside or watch too many episodes of ITV's "Love Your Garden". In reality, this often looks like wearing dirty clothes while trying to avoid cooking poisonous mushrooms.

What it tells us As many of us squeeze indoors during the pandemic, the outdoors has become like an idyllic Garden of Eden.

What kind of idyllic scenery, acid assistance, and fantasy based on it, it is a natural roleplay in Arran pullover and pasted elf ears.

It tells us what the pressure of the past few years has been so great that some of us dream of escaping from reality and living in the novels of Terry Pratchett.

The greatest retro aesthetic in the fashion industry largely comes from the crop tops, bandage dresses and denim skirts of the late 1990s and early 2000s. The trinity of Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan and Britney Spears is the key here.

It tells us that #FreeBritney and This Is Paris let us re-evaluate our attitude in the 00s. Then why can't clothes?

What is it? Old Hollywood isn't the most progressive place, but damn it's charming. This aesthetic is not—as the name suggests—about Werther's Originals and loose leggings, but a combination of prom dresses and autumn knitwear with plenty of Gee-shucks-Doris-Day health and Disney tweed.

It tells us what last year, designers from an immigrant background began to make clothes to pay tribute to the pioneering older generation, pushing the trend of so-called "grandfather costumes", and similarly paying homage to the style of the past.

It is a niche music genre of chillwave, but with a sweatshirt. There are a lot of neon lights and violets in this look-a reference to the 1980s in the 00s.

It tells us what we all need visual comfort blankets in pandemic and fashion, and accelerate the nostalgic land grab by accelerating the revival of the 70s and 00s

What is chic school uniforms (more death poetry clubs or original gossip girls than Hogwarts), adds dramatic mood lighting. Imagine someone smoking a fake cigarette behind a bicycle shed while flipping through "Secret History."

What it tells us. Just like the revival of the "Yuppie" look in the 1980s, the return of the academic style is partly due to fashion's preference for irony—and also because it idealizes all bookish things. In addition, we will always, always love suit jackets.

What it is to wear all the brightly colored summer tops and dresses that you panicked buying from the resort's only store, but open all year round. Many oranges, sky blue and swirling patterns.

It tells us what many of our holiday plans were pure fantasy before the amber list was cancelled. Programs like "White Lotus" make us yearn for the blue ocean.

What is Forget the Cure and Siouxsie Sioux, these are completely different things. The makeup and some clothes here have a traditional Gothic style, but this look is more attributable to the cute, pink-centric Japanese kawaii aesthetic.

It tells us what Goth has always stood out as a primitive lifestyle and style statement, as do many of its subdivisions (including romantic Goth). The soft Gothic style blends Hello Kitty into it.

What dream, romance, and hopeless melancholy is it. Think of Taylor Swift's coat look on the cover of her album Evermore.

It tells us what in the past 18 months, many of us have traded our cool clothes for comfortable alternatives. Who needs to look cool when we work in bed all day? Sad Girl Autumn shows that we have never completely forgotten to live in the most comfortable duvet.

This is a mixture of "morbid" and "cute", featuring a suspender dress and babydoll in the Courtney Love style of the Hole era, accompanied by a ball of grrrr.

What it tells us As more and more women and minorities claim that they have the right to be angry in a society where anger is not allowed, it is great to see that the prostitutes of the 90s still look like they are there.

What is it? Many trends have a creepy side (see above), and this is no exception. More than just angels and feathered wings, this looks like a virgin video of Madonna, the costume director of David Lynch. Many threats, silk and white lace.

It tells us what this aesthetic can express many things. Do the people who wear it want to fascinate everyone with their virtual aura? Could it be a comment on Victoria's Secret and the fall of their angels? Or simply put, behind every angel wearing lace, there is also a demon (maybe wearing lace).

What is the correct cousin of Cottagecore. It is clothing for extreme weather (rain boots, practical jackets, rain pants) and may be mainly used for indoor life.

It tells us what the government-approved daily walks during the lockdown show that our moldy leather jackets were not really cut off for morning exercises.

What it is It may have existed before, but Bridgetton really put the wheel on this. There are no headdresses, but there are plenty of lace corsets, tight waistcoats, and square-necked dresses. Obviously, many of us now want to dress like Jane Austen.

It tells us what history role-playing fashion is nothing new. Aligning ourselves with the historical dressing era is a statement of our own values, and in this case, our love for the historic Shondaland.

What is it the only mood board on this list featuring the appearance of riot police. The black balaclava, large boots and the unfortunately named "stab-resistant vest" together create a purposeful and intimidating beauty.

It tells us what this is a tailored response to the geopolitical situation: war, the climate crisis and the rise of the “alternative right”. In other words, terrible clothes terrible time.

Singer Halle Bailey (from Chloe x Halle) is starring in a live-action remake of The Little Mermaid, but this is not the only reason why the mermaid trend refuses to jump back into the water, just like the last Darryl Hannah splash , Wandering. Mermaidcore is an iteration of this style, with an emphasis on long hair, aquamarine or bubble pink. Wear plenty of ocean-related jewelry in your piercings (the bigger the better).

What it tells us is the same as VSCO, Mermania is a response to ocean protection and a weird way to bring fans closer to our flipper friends. In addition, for some people, the sea floor is an earworm that we cannot shake.

What is the key to dressing as a 1% person, especially, just like you did in the Nancy Meyers movie. Lots of loose white tops, large gold jewelry and wide pants, you can tuck your body into each leg.

It tells us that dressing like 1% is a classic power move. This also shows that Anne Hall is now an influential person.
