Gen Z Is Taking Over Fashion—Here’s How They’re Dressing for Spring

Like so many Millenials, I’m constantly looking to Gen Z for their approach to fashion. One thing’s for sure: The next generation is really not afraid to try dramatic trends or wear bold looks, especially when it comes to color. One Gen Zer whose style I’m particularly into right now is Tanya Ravichandran. I’m one of her 1.1 million (yes, million) followers on TikTok, where she shares colorful outfit ideas, sustainable shopping tips, and lots of good vibes.

She describes her personal style as a mix of ’70s- and ’90s-inspired fashion. “Some key components include lots of denim-on-denim and monochromatic looks,” she told me when we met in West Hollywood to style this shoot. It’s fitting, then, that Ravichandran is just as excited as I am about the launch of the Levi’s® Fresh line, which features a range of colorful pieces from denim to T-shirts, all created with natural, botanical dyes made from plants and minerals. The collection suits Ravichandran’s playful yet elevated aesthetic and passion for sustainability, so I was so eager to see her mix and match her favorite colorful pieces for spring and summer.

This is the matching sweatshirt for the shorts Ravichandran is wearing above.

I like the longer length of these unisex shorts.

I love the ’90s vibe of this denim midi dress.

I love a bucket hat almost as much as Ravichandran does.

Denim shorts are a warm-weather essential. Bonus points if they come in an unexpected hue.

How pretty is this lavender T-shirt?

Don’t forget the matching shorts!

I’ll be using this tote for the beach come summer.

The perfect tee to wear with Levi’s® jeans.
