Fashion retail technology company, EDITED, has analysed emerging trends for 2023, highlighting the continuing popularity of Balletcore and Bikercore styles while predicting a return to Normcore fashion.

Balletcore styles such as legwarmers and tulle skirts, and pink and white bodysuits, have experienced triple-digit sell-out increases. Meanwhile, Bikercore subculture, boosted by celebrity endorsements, has increased interest in accompanying products.

Leather trousers and the moto jacket have sold well. In contrast, biker boots have seen a fall in demand, while lace has overtaken leather as the standout material for pre-fall. Normcore, characterised by unfussy wardrobe staples and 90s nostalgia, has seen a comeback. Baggy silhouettes have outpaced straight fits, and white sneakers are dropping off consumers’ radars. The move is linked to the likely recession in the US and a shift away from maximalist styles.
