    22 Things Gen Z Are Currently Obsessed With (And I Think You Will Be, Too)

    I am constantly being influenced by young people.

    1. A ruched shoulder bag because tiny purses have made a major comeback and TBH, you're all about it. It'll look just as good with a fancy outfit as it does with jeans, and it has enough room to hold your phone (and whatever else you need) for a night out.

    2. Or an Everywhere Belt Bag if a cool sporty aesthetic is more your vibe. The inside has a couple of mesh pockets to keep your things organized and you'll be able to keep a close eye on your belongings, meaning it'll be the perfect travel accessory, too.

    3. A tube of Fenty Cherry Treat lip oil because dry matte lips are out and the plump and juicy lips of the early aughts are back in. It'll give you the shine of a gloss without any of the stickiness, while hydrating your pout when you're wearing it.

    4. A crochet hair bandana that'll give all of your outfits that breezy bohemian beach vibe. It has an adjustable tie, so it won't give you a headache while you're wearing it like a headband might.

    5. A trio of jumbo claw clips that'll help you get the Y2K updo of your dreams on dirty hair days. Reviewers say they even hold thick tresses with ease and that they're great for clipping up strands while they're straightening or curling their mane.

    6. A Fujifilm disposable camera that'll encourage you to capture candid moments instead of fretting over the best selfie angles to post online. Once you've used all the film, the collection of snapshots will be like an IRL photo dump.

    7. A pack of Starface hydrocolloid pimple patches that'll suck the gunk out of blemishes. They’ll also help flatten swelling, so your breakout will be easier to cover with makeup, but their star shape is so cute you probably won't even mind wearing them all day.

    8. A cropped corset top that'll become your new favourite thing to wear out. It'll look great tucked into skirts and jeans but it's also begging to be worn with a pair of baggy low-rise cargo pants for that effortlessly cool look that Gen Z does so well.

    9. A Stanley Quencher cup that'll help keep you hydrated from morning to night. The double-walled insulated stainless steel will keep your aqua ice cold for hours and its base is slim enough to fit into your cupholder during long roadtrips or your morning commute.

    10. An astrology book that'll help you make sense of your birth chart, so you can finally figure out what your moon and rising signs are. Reviewers say it's a breeze to follow and covers everything a beginner needs to know when it comes to understanding the stars.

    11. A beaded phone strap that'll add some adorable flair to your favourite device. Slip on your wrist to carry your phone when your hands are full— it's not just for decoration, people!

    12. An oversized tote bag that you can stuff to your heart's desire while you're on a thrifting adventure. It has two easy-to-reach internal pockets, so you won't have to rummage around for your phone or keys.

    13. A pair of Crocs that'll feel like literal clouds on your feet. You can even lower the strap to rock 'em in sport mode, and since they're lightweight and breathable, they won't get stinky if you wear them every day (you'll want to).

    14. A tube of Youthforia colour-changing blush oil that'll change into a perfect stain based your body temperature. The formula has over 20 plant-based oils that'll help nourish and moisturize your skin as you wear it.

    15. A pair of frameless tinted sunglasses that scream "Y2K style icon". Their gradient lens goes from baby blue to pink and will have you seeing the world (or at least brunch) through rose-coloured glasses.

    16. A Freck faux freckle pen so you can keep your beauty marks around long after the summer months. It's super buildable, so you can make your freckles as subtle or as bold as you want (it'll also look super natural if you don't have any to begin with).

    17. A set of travel hot rollers that'll give all of those new layers in your hair some body and bounce. They'll heat up in minutes (two, to be exact) and give you a feathery texture that an iron just can't replicate. You can even let 'em set while you do your makeup.

    18. A pair of chonky hoop earrings if you want to add some ✨pizzazz✨ to your boring ol' lobes. Reviewers love that they’re hypoallergenic, which means they won’t irritate sensitive skin.

    19. A tub of Drunk Elephant Lala Retro moisturizing cream that the youth on TikTok is currently obsessed with. It'll add moisture and help restore bounce to all skin types, with a handy pump lid that'll dispense the perfect amount so you'll never waste a drop.

    20. A pair of flared Groove pants from lululemon that'll be a stylish alternative to your millennial leggings uniform (it me). Pair it with your fave graphic T-shirt, a denim jacket, and a pair of platform sneakers — you'll be comfy as heck all day long.

    21. A pair of Sony noise-cancelling wireless headphones that'll make sure the only thing you can hear are your sweet, sweet tunes. They'll filter and totally block out outside noise to give you uninterrupted peace while you listen to your Taylor Swift playlist (and you can also control them with Alexa or use them for hands-free phone calls).

    22. And finally, a set of cropped tanks with teeny straps that'll make the perfect layering piece with your co-ord sweatsuit. They're double-lined to keep everything contained, meaning nothing will pop out even if you're going braless.
