Correlation
I created a lower correlation matrix of all the fashion topic terms to observe the correlation.
Some things to note in the table below. We can see season correlations: winter, coat, boots, scarf - with winter correlating negatively with summer. Semantic similarity can be seen via coat and jacket, which can be said to be synonyms of each other. Some interesting correlations include a positive relationships between earrings and black; and a negative relationship between summer and bracelet & earrings.
| High correlation | Low correlation |
|---|---|
| earrings & scarf | earrings & summer |
| earrings & boots | summer & bracelet |
| earrings & black | shorts & scarf |
| bag & bracelet | sunglasses & scarf |
| winter & autumn | summer & scarf |
| summer & sunglasses | shorts & boots |
| coat & scarf | winter & summer |
| jacket & coat | summer & boots |
| winter & coat | coat & shorts |
| coat & boots | coat & sunglasses |
| winter & boots | summer & coat |
| beach & dress | |
| jeans & trainers |
Below dives in deeper with two terms with correlated highly with others, summer and boots. We can see that summer correlates with sunglasses, shorts, floral, dress, and beach (0.5<x). However correlates low with winter, boots, coat, scarf, and interestingly earrings (-0.5>x).
On the other hand, boots correlates with scarf, coat, black, and more (0.5<x). Moreover correlates low with terms that summer correlates high with.

Time
The above plot shows seasonal fashion over time: spring starts to trend in the new year, summer seems to trend at longer intervals, and both autumn and winter start to trend in July.
Scarf (below) starts to trend in the autumn and peaks end of December / beginning of January. The foral pattern trends quite unusually, with peaks in July. On the other hand cardigan is very unusual with no obvious trend.

Below are plots of the summer season, and shows trends from January 2022 to June 2022. As expected summer starts to trend overtime, and pink (which was fashionable that summer) did steadily increase over time. Finally, country fashion had a steady increase so either (a) country fashion was “in” that summer, (b) will be fashionable over autumn, or (c) will start to decrease.
