JAKARTA - The motive for stripe or lines on clothing now dominates youth fashion or Gen Z. This pattern, which used to be considered basic, actually rose as an element of more expressive style, thanks to the color game and decorative details that made it look much fresher.

At various local fashion events, stripe items appear to dominate independent brand shelves and become the target of young visitors.

In this case, the Coordinator of GlamLocal as well as co-founder of the name of fashion Gamaleea, Rizky Azhar, noted that around 30 percent of tenants at the Locallove Market bazaar show off line-motivated items due to high demand.

"Now there is a stripe trend among young people," said Rizky Azhar when interviewed at the Locallove Market which was held at Main Atrium, Pakuwon Mall Bekasi, Friday, November 28, 2025.

According to him, the stripe that is currently popular is not just a simple line motif, but a version that has been given a modern touch, ranging from color combinations, embroidery accents, to customs or beads as fashion statements. This element makes it look more attractive and easily accepted by Gen Z.

In terms of color, the trend is also shifting. If previously it was dominant for Mahogany and earth tones, now the pastel and cheerful colors are getting more and more sought after.

"The color selection is bolder. It's yellower which is really yellow, black too, or the color is more colorful, now it's starting to shift towards pastel and cheerful color," said Rizky.

For daily use, Rizky suggested choosing the right pattern stripe so that the appearance remains chic and proportional.

"The choice is indeed an elongated stripe so that it looks more level. Continue to look for a combination, don't be too much so you don't look excited," he said.

Meanwhile, small accents such as mini embroidery are considered enough to give a sweet impression without looking too much.

According to Rizky, one of the things that makes the stripe motifs popular again is because this motif is considered more flexible because it is suitable for daily wear, college, and work. No wonder this motif returns to be a favorite and continues to appear in the collection of local brands.

Furthermore, the Locallove Market, which is a sub-brand of the GlamLocal event, presents a bazaar with a concept fully designed for Gen Z's lifestyle.

"Locallove is not just shopping, but focuses on community activities. Various workshops are held, ranging from beauty class, making customs and bag characters, to creating creative journaling," said Rizky.

All of these activities are designed as fun, relevant, and engaging interaction spaces for young visitors. On the other hand, a series of talk shows for five days raises issues close to Gen Z, ranging from mental health, career journey, to differences in the character of generations with millennial groups.

By combining shopping, light education, and entertainment such as live music, Local of Market seeks to strengthen the position of the bazaar as a new creative space for Gen Z, not only shopping events but also expression and community containers.
