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.

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.

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.

Having a trendy earphone shows your style, that you are creative as well as confident.

Keeping in line with this growing trend, realme’s upcoming a unique and compact TWS in a budget can add that little extra that Gen Z is keen on for their overall look.
