This generation has shown more interest in being authentic to yourself.
The Tailored Blazer is a timeless staple, adding an instant polish to any outfit. Pair it with skinny jeans or a mini skirt. Want it to look modern? Juxtapose a flowy maxi dress with a fitted vintage jacket for a fresh take, or pair a classic blazer with wide-leg pants for a contemporary silhouette.
The Silky Slip Dress, this luxuriously simple garment, is back in vogue. Throw on a bulky sweater for an unexpected twist, or wear it solo with statement earrings for a night out. Embrace boldness, and do not shy away from mixing eras!

Gen Z has a broader cultural trend towards valuing diversity and inclusivity. In Kenya, there is a famous African print locally known as kitenge. It has been relevant for generations, but its popularity has declined. The baby boomers wore it to church, ceremonies and special occasions, and people loved it.
Though the designs changed, and designers removed shoulder pads, one could now alter the height to the desired ones. Millennials wore them only when needed, probably when going home to visit relatives or traditional ceremonies. Gen Z has found a way to make it relevant: make crop tops with it, shorts and flannels to accessorize plain dresses or use it for decoration on other materials; make it work; make it modern.
Embrace these treasures, breathe new life into them and tell your story.
