Lifestyle trends What will 2023 bring? The rise of TikTok and Instagram as home and lifestyle inspiration means that trends spread among users like wildfire. Here are just some of the trends for 2023, according to influencers
slippers, and we’ve returned to the office in loafers, ballet flats and Mary Janes. Even the streetwear crowd has been trying out puff- er clogs and the terrain-chic tog- gle closures. Maybe we’ve become more willing to wear lightly dis- guised slippers outside since we spent so much time cooped up during the pandemic. Or maybe we’re just sick of tying two Boy Scout-level knots every day be- fore 9 a.m. Talking to strangers It’s decidedly weird when someone sitting next to you on the bus or at a restaurant strikes up a conversation, no matter how innocuous. Perhaps some- what wishfully, 2023 will change that. More strangers will start con- versing with one another about matters small and large. That will make us feel like we’re all living in this world together, because no man is an island, right? Crusade against caffeine The crackdown will come for caffeine in 2023. Think mugs of matcha latte or a decaf menu at your local coffeehouse. Wellness influencers launched the war against caffeine and there are ever more pre- and post- videos on social media, showing people how a day / week / month with- out coffee looks. So, see you at the coffee-free coffee shop… or not?
This will be the year when we’ll exercise more, spend less and stop devoting en- tire weekends to binge-watching … No? Nevertheless, change is in the air. We can’t see into the future, but let’s try and see what could be new when it comes to lifestyle. Big and bold As more members of Genera- tion Z start becoming homeown- ers, we expect to see a trend of bold, contrasting colours making its way into homes. Gen Z has been shown to express a preference for bright colours, specifically yellows (the colour of happiness, joy and positivity) and greens (the colour of nature, health and growth). Ad- ditionally, the colour purple (roy- alty, luxury and spirituality) is pre- dicted to become more popular. Home workspaces Seeing this trend continues was no surprise, as there has been a rise in numbers of people work- ing from home since the pandem- ic. One of the most interesting
products to have snowballed in popularity this year is the desk treadmill. This merges the idea of self-care at home and working from home, because it means that consumers get the daily exercise that they need to keep themselves fit and healthy. Home and wellness Ever more people are prior- itising their mental health by developing daily ‘rituals’ to take time out of their busy lives and show a little more compassion for themselves. These so-called rituals can include anything from simply lighting some candles around an evening bath filled with relaxing oils, to something more extrava- gant, like constructing a garden building dedicated to yoga and meditation. Goodbye shoelaces They’ve had a nice run, but 2023 may be the year when we finally retire shoelaces. We’ve al- ready been shuffling around in Birkenstock Boston clogs and UGG
