New TikTok trend makes esports fashion go viral

A new TikTok trend, ‘What I’d wear if…’, has started to take off where esports fans show off outfits they’d wear as members of different organizations.

TikTok trends are a constant and evolving cycle of memes, music and dances. As the Beijing-based app has grown exponentially, so have the number of people making and watching TikToks. Accompanying this growth has been countless ‘trends’ – similar TikToks made around a common theme.

Although some have been denounced as inappropriate, most are enjoyed as harmless fun. And now there’s a new one for esports fans specifically.
