Original Xiao yin yin ke aesthetics
Recently, there is a new fashion trend on the internet, which is exaggerated and gorgeous, which is incompatible with the current fashion aesthetic trend.
Some people think it’s beautiful, others think it’s earthy, but everyone thinks it’s non-mainstream.
Is the non-mainstream dress coming back again?
Recently, there has been such a wave of subcultures.
You will see this kind of wearing and makeup similar to the early QQ show on the Internet.
You will see such bright colors and futuristic collocation.

Or this gothic dark wind and punk rock wear.
Rich colors, exaggerated makeup, and a powerful atmosphere that keeps strangers away.
This style will inevitably be looked at differently by others, but maverick subculture lovers will not care about these.
High-saturation color matching, metallic clothing, highlighted hair color and exaggerated shiny makeup can’t help but remind people of the non-mainstream in 2000.
This style is not only sought after by some minority people, but also begins to pursue this unique style in the fashion circle.
Awsten Knight, the lead singer and guitarist of Waterparks, appeared in VMAN, a first-line men’s magazine, with colorful hair and numerous jewelry piled up with fingers. It’s like "killing Matt".
On the show of Balenciaga 2022 autumn and winter series, it also showed its unique brand style.
Detachable bow belt and metal chain elements combine the subculture aesthetics of the Millennium, gothic, rave and other fashion elements.
Both overalls and jeans are decorated with metal rings and rivets.
This style has entered the mainstream stage, but how can it come back without mainstream? ?
As the old saying goes, "Fashion is a reincarnation". For the fashion circle, retro and trend return are always going on.
Almost every 10 years or so, there will be a resurgence of the trend.
Just like bell bottoms come back every 10 years or 20 years, so do non-mainstream ones.
What keeps pace with the times is that this style is now more scientific and technological, combining the flavor of the Millennium and the characteristics of the Z generation.
It boldly broke the rules, adopted all kinds of contrasting colors and exaggerated ornaments, and the collocation with secondary elements and striped elements was more complicated and diverse.

And the new non-mainstream wear broke the unchangeable black, white and gray low-key cold wind in previous years.
Compared with the simple, cool wind, single-tone refreshing wear and simple overlapping wear and jewelry matching popular in previous years, the non-mainstream has more free wear space, which makes the escaped colors come into play.

Design is a product that can never be separated from the background of the present era.
Non-mainstream rich colors help people to relieve their depressed mood.
At the same time, today’s people also hope to go back to the past, gain energy, and return to the era when they were dressed easily and interestingly, so that their souls can have a short rest.
This "new" fashion can also express itself better.
It is bolder in aesthetics and more jumping in ideas, which can well show the emotional attitude of young people today.
People who pursue fashion are also beginning to seek novelty, hoping to get attention with unusual decorations.
Love me. Are you scared?
On closer inspection, this is not the first time that the non-mainstream has returned, and so has the previous Y2K.
At that time, the well-known TV series Happy Planet, Magic Mobile Phone and the smash hit women’s group S.H.E also had the shadow of Y2K in the design of stage modeling and makeup style.
With a strong sense of futurism and surrealism, metallic tones, reflective fabrics, bright colors and modern lines are full of imagination.
Nowadays, non-mainstream wear has returned with a new look of dark spice girls.
In terms of color, "black, white and gray" is the main color, and various bright colors are superimposed, and then various accessories are put on, such as candy-colored hair clips, plastic sunglasses and shiny shoes.
With an eye-catching hairstyle, you will immediately become a person you can’t be taunted.
But in fact, these seemingly strange and even some "abnormal" shapes have their own logic in color and accessories.
A large area of black plus red or other bright colors, the superposition of metal chains, and then take a dark retro bag and put it on platform shoes. You are the boss of the fashionable bury love family.

It is inversely proportional to cleanliness, and the sword is biased in the use of color, or accessories with a unique sense of design are added, or clothing patterns with a sense of the times and absurdity are selected.
If we combine the non-mainstream with the campus atmosphere, we will get the "poor students’ campus atmosphere".
Low-waisted miniskirts, blouses, "lower body missing", socks … all kinds of appearances that do not conform to the dress code have become reasonable in college fashion.
Nowadays, people seem to want to be as dashing as Devon Aoki:
One second ago, a quiet student in a uniform shirt turned around and pulled out a gun, calmly fighting his way out in danger, which was brave and rebellious.
Although many people still don’t agree with the non-mainstream, in fact, those who can master this style are all collocation masters.
They are bold in aesthetics, unique in accessories collocation, and express their self-identity by wearing them, not following the mainstream attitude towards life.
Why do people love the non-mainstream
A sentence by fashion designer Zerina Akers in an interview in BAZAAR.com can also answer this question:
"This generation is eager to return to that interesting and brainless fashion era."
The non-mainstream aesthetics of the Millennium is quietly spreading, will it become the next trend outlet?
