If you could make up a new fashion trend/aesthetic, what would it look like and what would you call it
Ima start-
I have an interest in both kidcore and Lolita ~(NOT THE BOOK, ITS A JAPANESE FASHION TREND)~ Fashion. I always wanted to combine the two to get this pastel, simple but kiddish style. Lots of baby blues and pinks, A whole lot of overalls and pig tails. Just cutesy and innocent :D It's like Kidcore but minus the Lego brick color themes.
I'd probably call it uhhhh... I think Teenybopper would be cute!
(Please refrain from insulting me in the comments thank you- I'm hella slow and sometimes may not choose the right words when typing. Thank you w)
Can I make t-shirts + shorts + flip flops become a new formal wear if it's fashionable enough?
As for something more fashion-y, for men, I'd make something with lots of freedom of movement, aesthetics as pure afterthought. I hate stuff that shows my belly whenever my arms go up or legwear that won't let me sit, crouch, stretch or anything without feeling like my fat ass can rip the fabric at any time.
Go back to weekly baths and wear the same outfit every day without washing. Would benefit the environment, reduce slave labor in the fashion industry, and keep people away from me.
A trend that is focused on turquoise and teal colours, maybe mixed with white to represent sea foam. I would call it "Neptunian" relating to the Roman god of the ocean! 🐚
The style is expressed by trying to have the most powerful hat; by which I mean the most big, intimidating, unwieldy monstrosity of a hat possible. One that's so big and complicated that you can barely hold your head up and might even need shoulder bracing.
The purpose is to invent a fad that is hilariously stupid to watch people try and follow so that I can point and the laugh at them all the way to the bank. Because fashion is stupid, and money is useful.
This is my main beef with men’s fashion. Men naturally stay hotter than women, but they get all the revealing clothing and thin fabrics. Maybe I need booty shorts and a crop top while mowing in 90 degree heat. Why is it always baggy basketball shorts and beefy t’s unless you want to do $80 at lulu lemon
Men need to acknowledge the power of their legs and do it fast before I SNAP.
Too many dudes just be like "Oh nah- its too gay" and fucking seal em off, thus ending the days of Leg appreciation./hj
I'd want to take the fedora back from the incels and neckbeards. Other currently out of fashion hats and caps too, but the fedora has been too monopolized by inceldom when it's a perfectly serviceable hat for folks who wanna dress up from ball caps.
It's not on the Threadiverse, but if you like retrowear, I remember seeing The Fedora Lounge, a forum with a bunch of people who are into retrowear and are willing to go to far more work than I am to obtain, reconstruct, commission, maintain and wear it. It was fun to browse images of, though.
EDIT: I think that a lot of the reason that hats got clobbered was people spending more time indoors. If I'm outside and the sun is really blazing down, having a broad-brimmed, light, mesh-sided hat is nice. If it's raining, having a hat (or hood or something) so that water doesn't head down inside my collar. But...if you're inside, you don't get the benefit of the portable shade or protection from the elements. And a lot of time that people aren't in a structure with a roof, they're in a vehicle with a roof.
In the heyday of the hat, it was proper to take the thing off indoors. So if one follows the same convention, for most, there's just less time for the thing to spend on one's head than it was when people were spending a lot more time outdoors.
EDIT2: Since it's an existing style, a shot of a fedora from Double Indemnity:
I am IN-FUCKING-LOVE with this website. Hands down. It all looks so fucking wholesome and endearing to me. Buncha holder men cherishing that nice, vintage-style look and rocking it real well. Found this picture and I smiled so fuckin hard. He looks like sucha kind man, A grandfather I wish I had but never met. This makes me hopeful.

I think that we're kind of not answering OP's question, since exactly one person as of this writing other than him has a new style, and everyone else is nostalgic for older styles that people aren't wearing any more, so I hate to add to the "nostalgia" pile, but I kind of miss the denim jacket from the 1980s. Sometimes quilted, if you needed extra heat. Was durable, though not appropriate for precipitation, since it couldn't shed water. I don't really live where I need heat, but I remember really liking them. They were comfortable, very tough, not very expensive, and I liked the look.
Jeans have never gone away since they showed up in the 19th century...but the denim jacket seems to me to be a lot less common.
Today, I'll sometimes wear a loose, very light, unbuttoned denim shirt over a T-shirt, which is about as much as I need, heat-wise. This kind of thing:
Light denim shirt:
People certainly wear those all the time. Kinda miss the thicker, tough denim jacket, though. Haven't had one for ages. And I didn't just like wearing it myself, but like how it looks on others, and it works for both genders.
Don't really understand why denim pants had so much more staying power and universality than the denim jacket. They seemed like a good pair.
I don't know what I would call it, but I have been wanting a more furry style for quite a while. Like hoodies that have ears on the hood (or hats with the same), things that are actually fuzzy and such, tail belts that actually work as belts, etc. Not just character designs on t-shirts or just using furry art on the clothing.

I have an instance of Stable Diffusion. Lessee if it can mock up "Kolanki Superfurry".

I dunno about this one. That's kinda a novel placement, so SD can't infer much about where stuff goes. Maybe you could do it with more-elaborate stuff like regional hints or ControlNet or something, but that'd take more work.
pokes away for a while
Eh. Yeah, doesn't do all that well. The problem is that tails are normally portrayed as being much lower than a belt is normally worn.
I'm sure that there are people out there who will take commission work, given sizing information, maybe a photograph of what you want and any tweaks you want done. I'm not really familiar with that world myself, though, couldn't suggest anything. I'm pretty much an off-the-shelf clothing kinda person myself.
