As economic recession fears grow, fashion experts predict a shift towards neutral colors, minimalism, and conservative designs mirroring past downturns. Historical trends showcase how downturns lead to muted color palettes and simpler silhouettes, as consumers gravitate towards familiar, safe choices. This trend reflects a broader psychological retreat in uncertain times, with luxury segments like "quiet luxury" likely remaining popular. Experts also highlight that past recessions, from the Great Depression to the Great Recession, have consistently prompted a reduction in fashion daringness and exploration.
