People Are Ditching Their Sweatpants, According To Lyst’s New Report
May they rest in peace.
Like many trends before it, sweatpants flew a little to close to the sun. As vaccine numbers rise, many people who relied on loungewear and house slippers over the past year are running toward dresses and heels (remember those?). According to global fashion shopping platform Lyst, which revealed its latest Index Report on the first three months of 2021, searches are up in the triple digits for strappy dresses (222%) and heels (163%) quarter-on-quarter, including Nensi Dojaka’s mini dresses and The Attico’s “Devon” mules.
“The things shoppers have been browsing, saving, and buying in the Lyst app suggest an imminent return to going-out wear. Sweats have seen us through the past year, but many fashion lovers are now looking to set aside the sweatpants and rediscover the joy of dressing up,” said Bridget Mills-Powell, Content Director at Lyst, in an official statement.
The new report also presented its hottest brands and products between January and March, with Gucci taking the top spot yet again, followed by Nike (garnering a reported 59% increase in digital sales) and Dior. As for must-have fashion items, gorpcore reigned supreme, specifically The North Face x Gucci collaboration’s bomber jacket, which was spotted on Billie Eilish. Other celebrity-approved pieces on the list also include Beyoncé’s Ivy Park bucket hat for Adidas and a Prada satin headband, made famous by poet Amanda Gorman during her historical performance at the presidential inauguration in January.
