We know what you may be thinking: Why is this a trend? There are so many vegetables and fruits in the world that mushrooms probably seem like a specific choice for fashion designers to obsess over. However, the trend isn't as random as you think because psychedelic-inspired styles are another prominent 2022 trend. According to Dazed, trippy, seemingly psychedelic looks have been all over the runways, as many people have been vying for an escape from the countless upsetting, stressful issues that have been occurring in the world.
For those who don't know about mushroom print's connection to psychedelic fashion, magic mushrooms, also known as "shrooms," are psychedelic drugs that some people use to escape reality. Verywell Mind explained these drugs "contain psilocybin, a naturally-occurring psychoactive and hallucinogenic compound." Using this drug can affect you physically and mentally; it can make you feel euphoric, panicked, or nauseous, as well as making you believe you see and hear things that aren't really happening, and much more. Thus, with psychedelic-inspired fashion's rising popularity, it makes perfect sense that mushroom prints are having their moment in 2022.
