<p style=".Bodylaser">
	<lang class="3" style=".Bodylaser" font="Minion Pro" fontStyle="Regular" size="9">Today’s Gen-Z have embraced adolescence through their style and it's deeply personal. They carry accessories around as a form of self-expression and identity.</lang>
</p>
<p style=".Bodylaser">
	<lang class="3" style=".Bodylaser" font="Minion Pro" fontStyle="Regular" size="9">For this cohort, what they carry becomes an extension of who they are, often sparking conversa-tions and helping them connect with like-minded people. What Gen-Z wear is a reflection of how they feel, live and see themselves.</lang>
</p>
<p style=".Bodylaser">
	<lang class="3" style=".Bodylaser" font="Minion Pro" fontStyle="Regular" size="9">Trends such as Labubus, adorable little keepsakes such as cherry stems to bows, hearts etc. are now increasingly being used as bag charms. Often described as ‘emotional support charms’, they are all the rage right now.</lang>
</p>
<p style=".Bodylaser">
	<lang class="3" style=".Bodylaser" font="Minion Pro" fontStyle="Regular" size="9">While these accessories complete a look, tech accessories such as colourful phone cases, smart rings and funky wireless earphones are now a part of the morning routine for youngsters to kick start their day. For them, these accessories are extensions of their personalities just like clothes, hairstyles and jewellery. It’s no surprise then that the search for the best compact TWS is no longer just about sound, but also about design, portability, and how seamlessly it fits into everyday style.</lang>
</p>
<p style=".Bodylaser">
	<lang class="3" style=".Bodylaser" font="Minion Pro" fontStyle="Regular" size="9">Style for this generation is a culmination of a lot of elements. They use tech accessories to match their outfits, bling out their phone cases and trying to stand out as much as possible.</lang>
</p>
<p style=".Bodylaser">
	<lang class="3" style=".Bodylaser" font="Minion Pro" fontStyle="Regular" size="9">Gen Z is all about these unique, creative pieces that indicate that a tiny spark is all it takes. Tech accessories now play such an integral role in their appearance and can significantly impact opin-ions in their peer groups. Having a trendy earphone shows your style, that you are creative as well as confident.</lang>
