"We're noticing that consignors are parting with their tailored, relaxed blazers, an office-appropriate trend long in vogue, in favor of the leather moto jackets designers like Miuccia Prada sent down the runway. Looking at Q4 to date of this year versus last, search demand for 'moto jackets' is up 41%. The more oversize, the better. Luckily for you, The RealReal has a vast supply of past season moto styles to choose from."

"The micro mini Miu Miu skirt that was seen everywhere can be credited for the trend’s style fatigue. Retire yours, and instead shop sleek pencil skirts that nearly every designer sent down the runway. If we look at Q4 to date of this year versus last, we're seeing demand for Prada pencil skirts, for example, is up 54%. Pencil skirts from The Row are an even bigger jump, up 99%!"

"Crossbody bags beloved by office-bound commuters had their moment, but we're now seeing more interest for boxy, structured top-handle bags like the Ana from Luar, fashion's new It bag."

"There's no denying TikTok’s selling power in determining trending styles, like Totême's now-viral fringe coat or Adidas's Samba sneaker. Consigning these items during the trend's peak will result in high payouts, which you can then spend on a more unique look from The RealReal’s vast vintage archive like a vintage reissued 1994 Maison Martin Margiela tattoo top."

"We're now seeing fatigue with the nostalgic '90s butterfly motif in favor of the classic heart. Try throwback pieces from Tiffany & Co. or the more unexpected Bulgari versions on leather rope chains that are trending again."
