RTL Today - The Luxembourg Wurst: This year’s hottest back-to-school fashion trends

Fashion trends these days seem to disappear as soon as they arrive, leaving parents stumped and helpless. Luckily, the Wurst has its finger on the fashion pulse to help your self-conscious adolescent or teen fit in.

Baggy trousers for two

As trousers get baggier and baggier, teens realise that it is hard to keep them up, which has led to a rise in sagging, both intentional and not. Teen boys have found a solution, one that allows them to hang out with their bros all day long and save money on clothing: baggy trousers for two, the hot new trend that is sweeping Luxembourg secondary schools.

Jean holes

Remember when it was cool for young people to have holes in their jeans? They’ve made a one-eighty turn. Now it’s cool for them to wear the holes – and only the holes. Sure, it’s hard to keep the holes on, but at least no fabric is wasted.

Fluffy eyebrows

Everywhere you go these days, you see teen boys with so-called fluffy hair, and naive observers might assume that these boys suffer from excess keratin. Not so. The kids who really want to be cool and stand out have gone a step further: fluffy eyebrows. Will we see fluffy arm hair next year?

American football helmets

In recent years we have seen a rise in American sports fashion apparel making its way to Luxembourg, whether in the form of NY Yankees baseball caps or shirts printed with numbers in the US college style. Luxembourg teens are taking it a step further. Not only do American football helmets look cool, but they keep your ears warm and protect your head in case of flying books.

Eternal recurrence: retro chic mélange again, again, and again

A few years ago, the 80s were back in fashion, then it was the 90s, and at this moment (yes, now, right now!) Y2K and the early 00s are back. However, as later 00s and 10s fashion consisted of earlier fashions burped back up, there is nowhere to go, no “new” or reinvented retro fashion available. That’s right. Tomorrow’s teens are doomed – doomed to remain trapped in an infinite retro fashion loop from decades past. The good news is that there will be no more need to buy new clothes for your teen.
