Detroit, MI: Simplicity and Nostalgia Define Holiday Trends

Detroit, MI – As the holiday season unfolds, Detroiters are embracing trends that emphasize simplicity and nostalgia, aiming to make festive preparations more manageable and enjoyable. Local 4 Lifestyle Editor Jon Jordan highlights several key trends to help residents navigate the season with ease.

Key Trends for a Simplified Holiday Season

  • Glitchy Glam: A makeup trend that intentionally embraces imperfections, such as applying lipstick with fingers and skipping lip liner, to achieve a more relaxed and authentic look.
  • Scent Stacking: Creating personalized fragrances by layering different scents. Applying Vaseline to the skin before layering can enhance the longevity of the fragrance.
  • Barrier Beauty: Utilizing skincare products that act as protective barriers against environmental elements and pollution, helping to maintain skin health during the colder months.
  • Maximalism: Focusing on statement pieces, like a unique necklace, rather than layering multiple items, to create a bold and distinctive fashion statement.
  • Cloud Dancer: Incorporating the Pantone color of the year—a pale grayish-white—into wardrobes, as it complements various styles and occasions.
  • Denim Squared: Experimenting with denim combinations, such as pairing different denim pieces together, to create a cohesive and stylish outfit.
