Generation Z lifestyle and consumer trends

Overview

Generation Z is driving various lifestyle and consumer shifts across fashion, beauty, and wellness sectors.

In fashion and technology, there is a movement away from large, biometric-focused smartwatches toward vintage-inspired, miniature timepieces often called ‘grandma watches.’ These smaller models, typically under 30 millimeters, are being used more as delicate accessories than high-tech devices.

In the beauty industry, trends are shifting toward skin health and personal expression. This includes ‘skin-first’ routines and ‘no-makeup makeup’ looks that use lightweight products to enhance the complexion. Additionally, hair care methods like ‘heatless curls’ are gaining popularity as natural alternatives to heat styling. In markets such as Vietnam, consumers are using K-Beauty products for individual experimentation rather than following strict formulas, often relying on social media creators to guide their purchasing decisions.
