Shopping habits:
- Oasis' reunion has sparked the UK's nostalgia for 90s Britpop. The band's iconic style - part Mod, part 90s - features a few iconic components: parkas, track tops, football shirts and, of course, the bucket hat.
- As a result of this rising trend, TikTok Shop saw purchases for bucket hats spike in early July ahead of the band's first show.
- What started as a TikTok trend of fans dressing like Pitbull aka "Mr Worldwide" turned into a viral phenomenon.
- As the trend took off, TikTok Shop saw a 420% increase in purchases for Pitbull costumes.
