Fashion trends used to last entire seasons—now they barely survive a month. TikTok has revolutionized style cycles, turning 15-second videos into global fashion movements that peak and fade within weeks.

Discover how niche communities drive mainstream adoption, which influencers are setting the pace, and practical strategies for making viral trends work within your existing wardrobe—without breaking the bank or losing your personal style.
