The last six months have given us some pretty good insight into the direction 2019 will be heading in. Consciousness is the main theme for 2019 and it brings a great deal of positive change with it in every aspect of our lives. We have plenty of great lifestyle trends to look forward to this year and we should all do our best to incorporate them into our own lifestyle. Here is some of the best lifestyle and fashion pieces of advice to go through in the first half of 2019.
Greener fashion, greener life
The year 2019 is undoubtedly going to revolve around living a more ethical lifestyle, especially when it comes to the fashion aspect. Great efforts have been made to stop animal cruelty in the fashion industry, to minimize our carbon footprint and to advocate for the preservation of the environment. Even bigger strides are going to be taken this year, as the emphasis is going to be more on recycling, keeping our clothes from ending up on massive overflowing landfills, purchasing only organic and sustainable products and generally leading a healthier and more conscientious lifestyle. This trend has gained the most track in the UK, with more and more influencers and fashion bloggers, like Samata, turning their attention to greener and healthier living and only opting for ethical and sustainable fashion brands that are mindful and protective of our planet.
Retro tendencies
As a result of the effort to become more green and sustainable, vintage and secondhand clothing has gained massive popularity throughout the whole world. Apart from allowing us to show the authenticity and uniqueness of our personal style, by recycling clothes in this manner, we are reducing the enormous amount of pollution and doing a huge favor to the environment. There is no doubt this is going to be the biggest fashion trend of 2019.
Learning and informal education
In 2018, we have already seen some lifestyle habits gain priority, such as the focus on personal development and the pursuit of better physical and mental health, as well as overall advancement, whether through formal or informal education. It seems like this trend has no intention of going anywhere in 2019, especially when it comes to certain Asian cities, such as Hong Kong. Apart from their own betterment and personal growth, people are also placing great emphasis on their children’s formal, and more importantly, informal education. These parents are committed to finding the best playgroup in Hong Kong that provides children with the opportunity to learn and develop better social skills, while still giving their parents some free time to focus on their own education and overall empowerment.
Female empowerment
The empowerment of women was the biggest focus of 2018, especially in America, and it seem like the fight is going to continue throughout this year, even stronger and more persistent. The Women’s March in Washington has inspired thousands of women to fight for their rights to control their own bodies and lives, it has inspired millions of women to vote for what they believe in and dozens of women to run for office in the US and achieve the highest number of women elected in the history of the US. The Me Too movement, fighting against sexual harassment and assault, has also inspired hundreds of women through empathy and compassion, by providing them with a safe space and helping them start their healing journey together. Get inspired by these strong, powerful women and join their fight to achieve equality and justice in 2019.
Nurturing the soul
It is a well-known fact that travelling has the power to nurture our soul and rekindle our spirit. When we experience different cultures and get to know different languages, we grow as individuals and become more open-minded and accepting. So, it should come as no surprise that the best lifestyle advice for this year is to broaden your mind with mindful travel. Instead of luxurious exotic destinations, opt for a more spiritual journey that focuses on self-exploration and becoming a calmer and healthier person and visit some of the best yoga and meditation retreats this world has to offer.
As we can see, 2019 is undoubtedly going to be a constructive and conscientious year, one that will focus on noble causes and true values, like personal growth, preserving the planet and living a green and mindful life. It looks like it is truly going to be one amazing year.
