f you are in your 20s, 30s, 40s or 50s, your wardrobe most likely consists of streetwear-inspired clothing. This is the conclusion of the most recent Pinterest survey, which focused on fashion and beauty searches by different generations of users. Streetwear is without contest "the" style that has succeeded in winning over people from absolutely every generation.

Not only does the data show that some clothing styles are ageless, but it also reveals a growing interest in streetwear in recent seasons. Searches by users in their 20s increased by 245 percent between December 2018 and December 2019. And this enthusiasm was also shared by those in their 30s (+298 percent), 40s (+308%), and 50s (+265 percent).

The survey shows that only those in their 60s remain resistant to the streetwear fashion trend, and this could quickly change as their searches for fashion sneakers have increased by 316 percent over the past year.
