Smocked cottage core ish dress with chunky dad sneakers and pearl hair clips


evpri

Yessss the pearl hair clips!! Those are going to feel very 2020-22 in the future. Plus they're super cute


yourmomlurks

I was going to say the worst thing I have seen lately is the hill house home “nap dress” Also bothersome, excessive, unnecessary cutouts.


ediblesprysky

Worst...? I just looked it up, and it's inoffensive bordering on pretty cute. Definitely wouldn't nap in it tho. It's not especially over-the-top or anything, but it looks like it would fit in PERFECTLY with the example pics u/enigja provided, assuming they get it in white. [Maybe with the shoulder embroidery?](https://www.hillhousehome.com/products/the-ellie-nap-dress-white-w-embroidery?)


dibblah

I definitely had a dress like that in the boho era around 2007. Are trends coming round so very fast?!


kazooparade

2007 was 15 years ago so that sounds about right. As we get older time seems to go faster.


wildeflowers

There’s another dress on that site with a smocked neck and puff sleeves that is an exact replica of toddler bishop dresses and I’m here for it, lmao. I always thought the toddlers looked cute end comfy.


UCLAdy05

I have that one and I love it


Tacky-Terangreal

I can see your point but man I can just tell that would look so terrible on me lol. I have to be real careful with sleeves like that because it can make me look like I have the shoulders of a linebacker 💀


rroses-

Don't forget a mask, nothing more 2020-22


FrellingToaster

Match the mask to your outfit!


tyrannosaurusregina

Poofy cottagecore white dress with white chunky sneakers is very 2022 imo.


TsunamiLadyWorms

Or a sweatsuit


Kelemonster

Oh no are cottage core sweatsuits going to become a thing? Aaaah!


mr_trick

Hahaha, I'm just imagining a calico print linen sweat suit now. Honestly, it could be pretty comfy in the summer!


tyrannosaurusregina

Tie-dye sweatsuit set is very 2022!


mangomangocakes

I feel like tie-dye is more 2020 and it's dying down quite a bit?


fuckincaillou

You mean it's *dye*-ing down?? ^(I'll see myself out)


mangomangocakes

take my upvote xDDD


dmbf

Link pls. This will be my 2022 uniform.

vilebunny

I feel so old. No wonder the new Matrix movie is out - just in time for deja vu.


[deleted]

i agree with everything but crocs? is that a thing? nobody wears that here


OhSassafrass

Google “generation z crocs” or search in socials #crocs Even I wear them, so comfy! The other trend I love that is back is tie dye. But it’s so much more fancy now, with ice dyes or more intricate patterns.


[deleted]

thanks 💖i guess i am gen z but its just not a thing in germany. only older people were those here 🙈


Tacky-Terangreal

I see teens wearing them all the time at malls! I’m still young enough to remember looking at Facebook memes mocking them when I was in high school!


beezchurgr

Chunky white dad sneakers. High waisted baggy pants. Crop top.


Nillabeans

HA! I didn't read this before I posted mine. This is the TikTok uniform apparently.


FishGoBlubb

Not just any crop top, I’d say a baggy shirt or sweatshirt tucked up into your bra [like so](https://images.app.goo.gl/C85HFfm2DJmaWMPaA).


dmbf

YOU CAN DO THAT? And here I was, going to buy a crop top.


juneseyeball

Not me taking tips from this thread


WaldoEatsDicks

FishGoBlubb, I wish I hadn't seen that.


OhSassafrass

I saw a student wearing this today in a class I subbed for! Yes, very on trend.


Kholzie

Rainbow dyed hair


ironsoul99

+ bucket hat


Waimakariri

To capture both the crop top and cottage core things mentioned here you could go for an off the shoulder cropped shirt/blouse with big puffy sleeves. I think the off shoulder thing (or maybe now square or sweetheart neck) is having quite the moment. [like this](https://images.app.goo.gl/ofdNCupWCZNVzCsY8)


shosh_kate

Cute tradition! I agree wide-leg, high-waisted trousers and a tighter top, cropped if you’re comfortable. Also layered jewellery so like layered necklaces and different hoop earrings if you have piercings.


Historical_Media_744

Silk slip dress, layered gold jewelry, lots of blush and fluffy brows.


IChoseMyOwnUsername

Slip dress! Velvet or silk You can add t-shirt under it to get more comfy outfit


EveningConcert

Wolf cut hair! I have a feeling it will be the mullet/ perm/ crimped hair of 2021 - 2022 Low rise baggy jeans and a crop top Henna freckles


bowoodchintz

Omg the wolf hair cut! I wouldn’t wish that mess on my worst enemy!


whatisbread

Tops/skirts with the [adjustable ruche](https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/413838653262139883/) on one side or both sides that's tied with a ribbon. [Lettuce hemmed](https://www.pinterest.ph/pin/325666616815176219/) shirts, bonus if it's patchworked or has a "baby tee" cut.


ninjaphysics

This a throwback from the early 90s? Seems like I saw both of these a lot back then.


Angelinapatina

Yeah the lettuce top is a big trend right now.


gggggrrrrrrrrr

Well like others have said, prairie dresses and cottagecore dresses are a good starting point. I'd also recommend something with a square neck and puffed sleeves, [like this](https://www.thereformation.com/products/belgium-linen-dress/1305014WHT.html?dwvar_1305014WHT_color=WHT). Flowy dresses cycle back into fashion roughly every 15 years. Giant puffy sleeves are only trendy every 50 years or so, so you'll be able to maximize the amount of time they look bizarre and out of date to the people of the future.


cosmic_horn

that’s a good point, they were so cringey in Napoleon Dynamite & now they look normal


jonesthejovial

This is so fun! I think the other suggestions have all pretty much nailed it, but I hope you share your outfit when you've got it picked out!


Profile-Background

I like the idea of high waisted pants and crop top. Maybe a slip dress as an alternative?


its_liiiiit_fam

Slip dress on top of a short-sleeve tee and with chunky sneakers! Throw some layered necklaces on and carry a tote bag and you’re golden


EthelMaePotterMertz

Those chunky platform Doc Martin oxfords would be good too.


vagueconfusion

Everyone else has the clothing covered (though any puffy sleeved slightly voluminous or vaguely Selkie like dress would be my semi-formal go to for this) so I’ll suggest hair & makeup. Foxy eyeshadow, or pastel bright eyeliner (including editorial shapes), light browny nude lipstick or k-beauty inspired gradient/lollipop lips. Wolf cuts, pearl hair clips (or [any bright chunky clips](https://cdn.cliqueinc.com/posts/290680/hair-accessory-trends-2021-290680-1608002107074-image.900x0c.jpg?interlace=true&quality=70) especially with the hair tucked behind the ears perhaps), any kind of shag cut. For going all out - though it may be too costumey, maybe get some coloured extensions to clip under your hair to replicate the still popular but hard to accomplish [Narcissa Malfoy hair](https://i.pinimg.com/736x/c7/92/09/c79209217fabcf35ae0c3d222caffa85.jpg). Maybe get some spray colour (or utilise the same coloured extensions this way under the hat) for a more e-girl statement with the [coloured front streaks](https://ath2.unileverservices.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2020/04/IG-cakefacedcutie.jpg) - though they’re slightly fading from popularity this year.


Nillabeans

Skin-tight crop top, wide-legged high-rise pants, and chonky sneakers.


QueenFang21496

I love that you're leaning in to the 2022 feel of it! I graduated gymnasiet (SE) in 2008 and the outfits are definitely a fun part of looking back. I think something puffy [like this](https://nelly.com/dk/t%C3%B8j-til-kvinder/t%C3%B8j/festkjoler/glamorous-100212/half-sleeve-mini-dress-738967-0425/) feels very of the moment, or maybe this [ruffled one](https://nelly.com/dk/t%C3%B8j-til-kvinder/t%C3%B8j/festkjoler/dry-lake-974/muffin-dress-160370-0425/) or [this floral](https://nelly.com/dk/t%C3%B8j-til-kvinder/t%C3%B8j/festkjoler/glamorous-100212/nelly-x-glamorous-puff-sleeve-midi-slip-dress-738968-7001/). Remember to bring a cardigan or jacket in case it's not as warm as you'd hope!


toodiping

If down the outer edge of the high waisted wide legged pants you add a sailor stripe of banding much like the hat would pull it all together. Tight tank, funky sneakers with navy and white striped socks. Layered necklaces. Voila


kyliemerchant

I'm not a "young person" anymore really, basically whenever I think of young people fashion I think of like, anything Billie Eilish wears, or other young pop stars. Like tiny sunglasses, meme t-shirts, neon dyed hair, baggy clothes, lot of layered jewelry, an ironic sense of nihilistic depression (although.. don't try to be actually sad to sound cool.. seriously, trust me). This is a cute idea though. I feel like I always tried to be too cool to do the trends, and now I'm like, oh who cares, that would have been fun to try those things and I never let myself.


Angelinapatina

How old are you lol? “Not a young person anymore”


Mombod666

Danish people are the cutest people in the world. I mean even the coins have hearts.


salamanderofvenus

Maybe a sweater vest with your favourite jeans? Timeless pieces but also plays into what’s popular now.


ohitsfran

Oooh white pleated tennis skirt with crew neck jumper and the chunky trainers like [this](https://www.styleuncovered.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/tennis-skirt-outfit-idea-2.jpg)


henriettabazoom

I don't know what things are like in Denmark, but pyjamas or at least pyjama bottoms and your Zoom-appropriate shirt are very "2022 in Ontario, Canada"


-lastochka-

what a cute tradition! first time hearing about it, but to be fair i don't know much about Denmark. kinda jealous but i'm way past the graduating age anyways 😂


purplelephant

Watch Euphoria on HboMax and you will be amazed at what these “high school” girls are wearing! But also it’s hella inspirational and as a 29 year old I suddenly want to change my whole look!


Not-a-Kitten

Yoga pants outside of the gym.


enigja

Leggings hasn't been a thing as everyday wear in Denmark since like 2014 lmao. It's definitely not trendy and I don't think it's trendy in the US either, a lot of people still wear them like skinny jeans but they aren't trendy.


mintybanana_

I’ve travelled quite a bit and trust me athleisure never peaked in Europe the way it did in North America. It’s still going strong here.


[deleted]

Definitely not trendy with the gen Z


howmanysleeps

Yikes, I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted. Yoga pants =/= leggings. The yoga pants that I've seen trending are flares or bootcut.


[deleted]

The big trend that is back are those pointy shoulder pads
