Welcome back to the Faire Fashion Index, our guide to the past month’s top sartorial searches to keep you on the cusp of what’s trending today.
Just as we saw in January, retailers in February were gearing up for the Hallmark holidays, like St. Patrick’s Day and Easter, especially with cute Easter dresses for the little ones. And that’s no surprise—searches tied to these types of holidays tend to spike roughly two months prior to each occasion.
As we make our way into warmer weather, shorts, sandals, and swimwear are top of mind, along with breathable bamboo pajamas for cozy evenings in. For those attending the year’s hottest concerts, we’re seeing a surge of interest in graphic tees and even trucker hats as a throwback to grunge ’90s style.
Below, we’ll dive into the most popular searches from last month and some of the standout styles and brands that retailers are adding to their cart. Special shoutout to the trends that have continued over from last month’s list: Western attire, baseball merch, and plus-size clothing. These three are continuing to resonate as we make our way into spring, so we’ve omitted them from this month’s Index in favor of what’s new.
