The Top TikTok Fashion Trends of 2023 (So Far)
TikTok brings us plenty of game-changing content, especially when it comes to things like current trends.
From the latest manifestation mantras to try to the recipes worth giving a go, the app is always connecting us with the latest and greatest (and sometimes the not-so-great) things worth knowing about. It's no surprise that that includes fashion, as TikTok has long been as much a source of wardrobe inspiration as anything else. In an ever-changing fashion scape like the one we live in during 2023, we're glad that creators everywhere are helping us sort through the style trends worth knowing about.
If you want to save yourself the scroll, we've gone ahead and collected some of the top TikTok fashion trends of the year so far.
Mermaidcore
We have more than just the soon-to-be-released The Little Mermaid remake to thank for this TikTok-beloved fashion trend, as it's been taking over runways and Instagram feeds alike. Think everything from actual shells and scale-like prints to soft pastel tones and iridescent elements that emulate the look of your favorite under-the-sea dwellers.

Black Sheer Lace
While there are plenty of bright and eye-catching colors taking over in 2023, the year is also seeing a return to darker colors. In particular, black is back in action in a big way, but nowadays, we're softening it up a bit by wearing it in the form of lace and other feminine styles that any Wednesday fan can admire.

Major Metallics
If you haven't yet seen a TikTok that's made you want to immediately run to your nearest Zara to purchase a pair of pants shiny enough to be seen from space, there's a good chance that you will soon. Metallics are a huge trend for 2023, especially silvers that shine like the stars themselves.

The 'Canadian Tuxedo'
Also known as "denim on denim," this trend is exactly what it sounds like. Think Britney Spears in that iconic red carpet image with Justin Timberlake, but make it modern with more fashion-forward details and contemporary fits. If you're looking for a more everyday way to work this into your wardrobe, try pairing a denim jacket with a simple jeans look to get that Canadian tuxedo essence without going over the top.

Fantastic Fringe
Another Western style that's taking 2023 by storm (are we thanking Yellowstone for this?) is fringe, which can be found on everything from boots to skirts and even jackets. It's a slightly more subtle style that can also be made over the top, depending on your personal preference.
