I actually think those backless slides are hideous, and always look cheap. And peoples feet make a thwack noise when the foot hits the shoe. Im kind of liking a more gladiators sandal again. Not super complicated, but something at the back, or around the ankle. The backs of feet are ugly anyhow. I mean we have done puffy slides now, so what is next?
I take these videos as 90% entertainment and 10% “style advice”. ie I enjoy them regardless of what’s said is out of style because to me it’s a way to have fun with fashion all the while giving you some ideas if you are looking for something new. People… as she says, wear what the heck you want! That means you leopard and camo lovers ❤️
Agreed. I love wearing vintage clothes, especially from the 80s. Things that have been out of style for decades. Fashion should be a fun expression of one's individuality!
Absolutely! I have a pair of jeans that I cuff and I adore, and an oversized striped cardigan that I will continue to wear and love, but still get inspiration and entertainment from these videos!
I am sorry to disagree on the cold shoulder part. I am 63 and those kind of tops work wonders for me, hiding the wings on my arms. They make the shoulders look nice and hide the defects on the arms. So, I will continue wearing them because the y are flattering on me. :)
I agree !! It's just trends some people have and some people the type of clothes go good and some are meh. I disagree with a lot she stated so I wouldn't follow her much.
personally i just take these videos as suggestions. no need to defend your choices if you still like something she says is out of style :) just wear what makes you feel good
I love how you constantly remind people through the video that this is all for fun and wear what you want and also offering alternatives. Would love to see a “timeless” collection video. ❤
I found it amusing that in your picture of the Sam Edelman sandals as the better option you have your jeans cuffed! Also, I don’t see “thong” sandals or flip flop style sandals ever being out of style.😊
I was confused at first too, like, how are flip flops dates when they're always around? But then I realized when she says "toe sandals" she may be referring to a style similar to Sam Edelman Gigis which were probably at peak popularity around 2016 ish.
I actually liked that 3rd black strappy tank top. Wonder where to get it. Cuffed jeans allow you to adjust the length of one pair of jeans to fit all occasions. It's a lot more frugal than having to buy multiple pairs of jeans in multiple lengths. "Toe sandals"? They've only been in style for like 5000 years. That is one of the most normal styles of sandals ever. "Baby doll" tops aka empire waist tops. They skim over hips and belly and don't emphasize your belly as badly as a slender fit top would. Oh and unless you're size 0, and the oversized top sags on your tiny frame, shackets looks frumpy. It's like when overalls come into style. They only look cute on tiny framed people, the rest of us? We look like Farmer Jones.
Wait, you styled those leather slides with cuffed jeans! 😂 I agree with all of your opinions even though I’m sad that I have to retire my striped cardigan for a few seasons. 😂❤️
Were striped cardigans ever really that "in" to the point where they're now "out"? I don't associate them with strongly with 2017 or whatever year she mentioned. 2017 makes me think of strappy cris cross tshirts, cold shoulders, and the start of the loafer mule trend. At first I thought she was going to say that longer cardigans in general were out of style, but she didn't. It was the stripe pattern specifically. But from what I've seen, stripes have always been around - never super fashion forward but never super outdated.
That's so funny, I didn't even notice the cuffed jean! I too thought of my favorite fall striped cardigan 😅but I'll definitely still be wearing it anyway lol
Whether I agree with the recommendations or not I still enjoy these videos! Sometimes I see one that makes me realize that I’ve been avoiding a specific style in my closet and gives me the push to get rid of it 😂
Thank you Shea for keeping things moving. Its so frustrating to watch some of these videos that drag on about what not to wear. You’re right on target with your ideas and I really enjoy your style and videos.
I think people have to take into account the differences between communities. For example, if you've ever been a high school student in one city and moved to a different city, the things that are considered fashionable can be totally different. You stick out like a sore thumb. So before you make big decisions about your clothes, look around and see what people are wearing where you are.
...... This might hold true, to a point... however, I believe that there's a balance...I would not alter my style of dressing, drastically just to " fit in "... Of course, Teenagers in H.S. want to fit in... but where does the Authentic Self come in , ...(?) I was the girl in H.S. who wore matching dresses and shoes ... heels, etc. I didn't care what everyone else was wearing.... I already " knew who I was ' in that regard. This was back in the late Sixties and early Seventies, and we were not even allowed to wear jeans to school except on Fridays.... I wore dark denim and my mother sewed this really cool inch and a 1/2 border of trim along the bottom of my really nice jeans and it had metallics threads in it. .. gold, silvery colour, a dark blue and a lighter blue. ... everyone asked where I got those jeans. I was a " blazer girl ', even in High School... I had several, wore them with my jeans and trousers. ... I wasn't wearing tie dye T shirts, and all that. I still don't.... lol. But if other people like to wear that and follow the crowd, , then that's them and that's ok. , ...but I don't think Confidence is taught enough ,when knowing " who one is " in regards to clothing , choices, and how one is choosing that Self expression. :) Just my thoughts.
I don't know about that, dressing differently can be a conversation starter too. There was this girl in my year in high school that dressed like pack of highlighters every day of her life and even though it wasn't exactly fashionable it just brightened up my day to see her. Me telling her that was how we became friendly. Granted, me going to school in sweats and oversized everything half the time might have made me more approachable as well, but that's hindsight talking. It wasn't the done thing in the early 2010's, at least not in my school, at least not be the "cool kids". Point is, style may change, but people don't change all that much. If you're comfortable in what you wear, it'll only be an asset in making friends and finding your footing even in an unfamiliar environment.
for babydoll tops, some of us are fat and don't want clingy tops and it's hard to find something that covers our rolls and isn't tight and doesn't look frumpy. so we wear babydoll tops. otherwise ya i agree about the other things being out of style.
I had the same issue. Had to be brutally honest with myself about my heath and hit the trails until fall. I then got.a gym membership with no contract under 25 a month. No longer worry what others think and have lost some weight. By loodwork now is normal, A1C is great and I have more lean muscle than fat. Anyone can do it, on a budget with the right mindset. I.didnt have time, so I woke.earlier. I kicked excuses out and thank goodness I did before I dis irreversible damage
Yeah us middle aged women have gotta wear tops that cover the belly. The rest was interesting animal prints, strappy tops etc I'm going to clear my wardrobe tomorrow.
I’m not overweight but I do love a simple babydoll in the summer; they’re feminine and comfortable without being too revealing or form-fitting, especially when the occasion calls for something more casual.
A better alternative to the baby doll style to conceal the tummy is the wrap style shirt or dress. WAY more flattering and effective and looks good on heavy & slim people. Give it a try!
I'm 59 and SO thrilled you brought up #10. So many people are recommending this style to "hide the meno tummy" - but I didn't fall for it. Every time I try on anything like it - even a high waistline on a dress, which most dresses seem to have right now, grrr - i feel i look pregnant; NOT a good look for a 59 yr old. 🙃 Listen to your internal voice! Thanks for the fun video!
I may not agree with all of these "out of styles" but I respect your opinion. "Toe sandals" specifically have been in style for decades and I honestly doubt they will ever go out of style. I won't be getting rid of mine any time soon.
I’m a born and raised Texas girl who rides horses, and hunts and fishes on my family ranch, so I wear camo no matter if it’s “in style” or not😂 With that said - I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL! You are obviously entitled to your opinions and I honestly loved this video. I just thought I’d give a different perspective! All love to you - no hate!❤️❤️❤️
I enjoy how these confirm what I've been suspecting. And I'm amazed how many people feel the need to comment defend their style - whatever. It's fashion. It comes and goes and comes around again. No need to be offended or defensive! TY for these Shea!
Shea I am 99% with you, most all of these I never liked so don’t own. HOWEVER, the exception is the sandal. I have been wearing thong sandals since my childhood and I’m 73. They are a classic. I so want to wear those Sam Eldeman slides but my little toe is SO short it gets caught in the straps. 😢
What about cutting your jeans at the bottom if they are too long for a raw hem versus cuffing? Petite women have hard time finding a style they like that actually comes in a short version 😅
I agree with every one of these. I don’t think I’ve ever worn any of these styles or garments. Helps having a fashion degree to know which apparel and shoes are the most flattering on a woman’s body; especially mine.
My opinion is that everyone should just wear what they feel comfortable in, or what THEY think looks pretty, or both. If you like your clothes then just wear them, it's really not anyone else's business. There are some people out there who get WAY too hung up on "style," if there even is such a thing. I think that as long as you avoid the most obvious blunders (like, I don't know, wearing sweats to a cocktail party), then you should be fine. Just use common sense if you're attending a formal event, otherwise wear whatever you want. That's what I think anyway.
Wow, it's starting off great already 😀In the hobby sewing industry, the first point is currently the latest trend: unnatural leopard print in orange and pink, for example. But we in Switzerland and also in Germany are always a few years behind with trends. Best wishes from Switzerland ♥
Hi Shea! I love how your video validates opinions I’ve always had. Especially cold shoulder tops and baby doll shirts. I’ve never liked these even when they were on trend. 😅
I love these videos and I love that you do it in fun and don’t care what people think. Even though, could you please offer an alternate option for baby doll shirts? You have an alternative for almost every style except that one, and that is one that a lot of plus size girls (including myself) may reach for. I know that it doesn’t actually look better, but please tell me what does that gives me the same feeling of my belly not being hugged! I’ve never been offended by anything you say, but the last point came across to me as someone who is just not aware of other body sizes and really hit that one hard. (That’s why you still see it everywhere, plus size girls buy them!) Another note: could you find a friend that is plus sized and do some of your fashion videos of you styling her? There are differences in what looks good and I have to play around with your ideas to find what works for me. I think a plus sized video would do so well!
If I may offer a few ideas to search for on YT….It’s all about balancing body proportions, not about hiding problem areas. Think I’m terms of the overall effect, not one area. I think the main problems with babydoll are two-fold: (1) It cuts your body line more “in half” because if the top comes down to the middle or bottom of the hip it ends halfway down your body at the widest point. This can in part be corrected by choosing a style that ends at the top of the hip, combined with the lower half of the outfit being one color or monochromatic. (Look up videos on the “rule of thirds” for dressing.). And (2) Babydolls can make the body look wider if they have too much material gathered at the belly, so choose a style that skims the body closer (and again, that ends at the upper hip, creating an hourglass effect rather than a tent effect). Babydolls can also make the chest area look too short and the torso look too long, messing up the proportions vertically, and the neckline can affect this as well! Rule of thirds: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pO2PUneF0pE.html&pp=ygUYUnVsZSBvZiB0aGlyZHMgcGx1cyBzaXpl And another good one: m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mciTDRVM0ak.html&pp=ygUVUnVsZSBvZiB0aGlyZHMgIHN0eWxl How necklines change body proportions: see videos by Jules Beth. She has a lot for dressing a short torso but as someone with a longer torso it’s still super helpful because I basically do the opposite but the rule still applies. Also it’s important to remember that when we look at our own bodies we zero in on what we consider problem areas, but when others look at us they see our entire body proportions first. By keeping our proportions balanced we can help prevent people from focusing on the areas we don’t want them to look, and emphasizing the areas we like! So for example a blousy flowy button up top that is tucked in (with a blousy effect, not tightly tucked in), in the same color or monochromatic color as pants, then a longer layer over the top in a contrasting color, will create a vertical line and draw attention away from the belly because the eye will move up and down lengthwise instead of focusing on the middle. A babydoll top literally pulls the eye to the belly if it ends past the upper hip because it cuts off the body in half and at the widest point). We are our own harshest critics and sometimes when we focus on a problem area and try to hide it, we end up messing up the whole big picture and we fail to emphasize the part of ourselves that looks the most beautiful! I also like the advice of taking photos or little videos of your outfits and comparing them. I was able to see how things I thought were helping weren’t actually the best look for me! Because of this I switched from Babydolls to a wrap style, because I have an hourglass shape and the babydoll made it look like my waist was right under my boobs, rather than a few inches farther down. It totally changed the proportions of my body, while still allowing me to wear styles that flowed out to the hip hiding my muffin top. I could t see it till I took a pic and put them side by side! It helped me see myself more objectively. Hope some of this helps! But don’t forget to focus on the parts you want to show off as much as the parts you want to hide! You are beautiful!
I also want to add that: Plus size is NOT A SHAPE! Petite is not a shape either! The main thing that will dictate what looks good is not being plus size, it’s your shape! The Kibbe body types helped me see this because it focuses on bone structure and the way clothes drape across the body. I began to see that I needed to dress according to my body lines overall, not to “fix” a problem area. The problem areas naturally disappear when I focus on dressing and enhancing my body’s natural structure and lines. For example I’m a Kibbe romantic, so if I’m going to choose a wrap top I look for one that is visually curvier (like it’s made a series of circles or s-curves), while someone else who is a dramatic Kibbe type might also have an hourglass shape but would look best in a wrap top with angular geometric shapes (like a series of triangles or with geometric pattern or cutouts). Both are hourglass but entirely different body structures! This video helps explain why structure matters more than, or at least as much as, “hourglass” vs “apple” vs “pear”. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kPEKq0FR3Og.html&pp=ygUXTWVycmlhbSBzdHlsZSBob3VyZ2xhc3M%3D
Great video! I’m in agreement with you on almost everything. Hate a cold shoulder, don’t care for stripes in my cardie and not a big fan of cuffing jeans. I cut them off and put in a narrow hem. I’m old, and the over sized shirt as a jacket over a tank or other shirt is so 1970’s! I wore those in junior high school. Sandy Duncan had a TV series, The Sandy Duncan Show, in 1971 and that was her go to look in many of those episodes. To me a shirt as a jacket looks dated and 70’s Old! 😂
And the men were in on it, too! It was just before the leisure suit came in for men and it was a huge success as a more casual business attire! I remember my dad and brother having some shirt jackets - my dad had some beautiful, lined, wool ones from Pendleton and I think they looked nice. I wasn't a fan of them for girls and women, myself. When they came back in the 90s I gave a huge sigh and now here we are again. Yuck!
It’s so lovely to come back to your videos after a few years absence and see your growth as a person. You no longer judge, shame and blame and you come across super pleasant and kind. So great to see you happy! Very cool to see your evolution.
I wear what makes me feel good and comfortable. If you’re happy in what you have on, it’s in style. The fashion industry and trends is so hilarious to me. Just have fun being you, the end.
Can we pleeeeeease get an updated one of these? I LOVE to see the videos showing what is not trending, it helps me eliminate unnecessary items from my wardrobe and I am not offended by it ever, so keep it coming!! 😂❤
If you have very narrow feet, it is just about impossible to find slide sandals that will fit. I wish that I could follow your out-of-style sandal suggestion, but my entire foot would slide inside the sandal that you showed!
Doesn't matter if I agree or disagree with your opinions. I just think your delivery is so FUN! You are a hoot-n-a-half !❤😅 Thanks for making me chuckle!
Hi Shea. I just found your site and enjoyed this episode. Without sounding too rude, I would add to your list bubble gum pink nail polish and fake nails. Naturally groomed nails are so much more sophisticated.
Reason people have fake nails and polish is that their natural nails are not nice to look at and/or hard to maintain Some of us use our hands quite a bit in our daily life and the nails take the brunt of the work. After a year of wearing nail polish on my toes, I went 'natural' for spring and discovered 4 of my toenails are dark and discolored. Hardly sophisticated.
Personally, I just stay away from prints in general. I'm trying to steer towards a non-trendy classic personal style that I like so even if it's not current, I'm okay with it. I wasn't aware maxi tops where a thing. I saw Lucille Ball wear a specific long sleeved one on a couple episodes of I Love Lucy and adore it. Wish I could find something similar that won't break the bank.
I’m weird. I still love the strappy and cold shoulder tops. Lol. Love these videos!! Heck I love all your videos!! Have a beautiful and blessed day pretty lady! ❤
I think cami is like animal prints: never go out of style but most wear in moderation and style. I see the rest except the sandals. I live in Florida and we wear sandals everywhere most of the year.
I know they have been unpopular for awhile but I still wear cold shoulder tops sometimes. As a big girl who lives in Texas they help a bit with the heat since I can't do tank tops. I have a handful of babydoll maxi dresses that are actually very flattering, but I have to be super careful which ones I buy because so many do make you look pregnant. The main thing is to make sure the flared part it not very full and that it starts an inch or so below the bust so you have some waist definition. Old Navy has gone overboard with cropped tops and that needs to stop
Cold shoulder tops can be very flattering. Shoulders are always attractive even when you prefer to cover your upper arms. What would you suggest as an alternative?
I love these videos! It really helps me to get rid of items in my closet! However, I am crazy over leopard print so that’s a tough one for me to give up! In fact, I think I wore the exact outfit today that you posted with the long leopard cardigan! Haha
I hate lots of straps on tops think they look cheap. Made me laugh how you said cuffed jeans are out of style but you’re wearing them with the brown sandals 😂
I agree on all of these except the mixing prints. Maybe because I am not a huge fan of solids and have to. Plus it's super creative and aesthetically pleasing if you do it righ!. ❤
Slides sandals are cute and everywhere. Unfortunately there are millions of women like me for whom a slide sandal is impossible and thong sandals are the much better option. I have a bad bunion and hammer toe on one foot and slides just won’t work. So cute and comfortable things will have to continue to work for me.
Hey girl great video as always! But when you're showing the sandals, your jeans have a small tiny cuff on the bottom! So guess everything in moderation!
I ❤ it. Always appreciate being told what to ditch from the closet. I need to make room for the NSALE when some of these out of date trends will probably be front and center. 😂😂😂 I am not ditching my black and grey lululemon selections. Babydoll and shackets are some of the few things guaranteed to fit a long torso sadly!
The cold shoulder top 😂 I love mine, only have one. I wear it here and there but feel kinda weird when I do. I actually only started using it this year again because I saw a coworker wear hers and I was like “what the heck, I will wear mine too”! The color of it is gorgeous, especially for spring
We are so fortunate to be so picky about our clothing. I try not to buy too many trends anymore. Stick to the classics. There are a lot of rich people getting richer by keeping us giving them money, buying the newest thing and then telling us a few months later it's out. Maybe it's my age, but I'm tired of being a dance monkey. Women already spend sooo much money on accessories, nails, hair, makeup, skin care, lotions, potions, etc... 😩 Stop the ride, I want off! 😵💫 😂
Yeah getting jeans in the “correct “ length would be fantastic. But since I’m 5’2” and most jeans in store come in one length I guess I’ll still be cuffing them. What is really bad is expensive jeans like Agolde or Citizens of Humanity. They never come in shorts, and at that price who wants to pay to alter them? But hey, at least makeup brands are inclusive now and I can get 55 shades of foundation…🙄
Lots of places sell multiple length jeans, I need long length and will not buy jeans from places that don't sell them. If you buy them anyway you are basically telling the store you support their sizing choices.
@@willes2735 I meant in store. At least in the smaller town I live in. Even Gap doesn't carry shorts in store here. And sometimes I just want to try on jeans before buying.
Some of these jeans need about a foot cut off the bottom!! I’m 5’4” and I have laughed out loud as I put a pair of jeans up next to me and the correct length would have them buttoning at my chin! Waaay to long! They need to make jeans in various lengths like they used to.
Wearing a camo sweatshirt as I am watching this LOL. I still like camo esp if it's done right. And tie-dye as well so those will remain "classics" in my wardrobe.
Lol - I ran into a school chum 6 months after giving birth, and he asked me if I was already expecting again! (I was wearing an empire-waist dress, had lost my tummy, but I definitely still looked pregnant! Experts tell us to emphasize " the smallest spot on your abdomen", which is usually THAT spot. It's a very fine line and difficult to not cross!
Unnatural camouflage looks weird. I personally never cared for that look either, but I do like camo and I think it’s always going to be in style. Of done right. Subtle touches, or just one piece rather than all over.
I love your "out of style" videos, you keep them light-hearted and fun and give good advice without taking it too seriously! I agree with you about that old relic, the "cold shoulder" top, god I wish they would just vanish off the face of the earth, uurgh hideous x
I really enjoy these videos! Mostly for the entertainment but also it gives me a reason to donate some of my clothing items i have been hanging onto for YEARS.
I just got rid of a shirt with leopard print and stripes together and honestly could not understand what put me in the mindset to buy it in the first place. 😂
Thank goodness baby doll tops have always reminded me of maternity clothes! Especially on apple shaped bodies! Never liked cuffed pants on me. I agree with everything except the cold shoulder tops. Have they really gone out of style or a design feature!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I know- especially when it’s the style of the more geometric shape in the second picture? Can’t help it- I love the way it looks on me. Same thing with the shirt/jackets…❤
The babydoll tops are easy to wear because you don't have to tuck them in and they emphasize the narrowest part of your torso right under the bustling so they can be flattering on most people but it's true that some do kind of billow out around the belly.
Happy Sunday Shea!!! ❤️ thank you for another amazing video. I really value your advices and ideas. I must say I’m not the most fashionable person but thanks to your videos I’ve improved in sooooo many aspects! 😀 thank you for doing the homework for us, your viewers. 🥰 keep up the amazing work!!! Have a blessed week! ❤️
I laughed so hard because my Easter outfit is a pink babydoll top with cuffed skinny jeans 😂. so now I’m switching it up. I wish I had more friends that told me my outfit is poppin. Lol. Love your content always.
I feel like it still could have looked like a stylish outfit depending on the pieces themselves and how they looked on YOU. Some people just carry things well, where the same outfit would look outdated on someone else. With most clothing pieces I find it hard to have a "all or nothing" approach. There are too many other factors. Like the cold-shoulder tops. I have some and because I don't have the best shoulders, I don't think they look good on me and think overall, most of those style tops now seem outdated. However, the woman in her examples (I think she was black, wearing a dark green top) looked amazing and *to me* did not look outdated. I loved that top on her. But she is a model with great shoulders, so...... LOL
Cuffed jeans are timeless. Everything else I mildly agree with but that’s just because I hate most fashion. Also, I have nothing against striped cardigans. I love ALMOST ALL cardigans.
I just discovered your channel, and I’m so happy I did. I agree with everything you said in this video. I have some great summer cold shoulder tops that I hate to part with, but it’s time to donate them to a charity. They were great and served their purpose but it’s time to part ways. 😢 I never got into the camo look, just too casual/sporty for me. I love wearing black a lot and my very favorite neutral colors. I think it always looks chic and expensive if done right. Can’t wait to see your next video!❤
It never fails to surprise me how someone will click on a “this is out of style” video and then comment how outdated it is to say no one should dictate what to wear! Some of us appreciate the guidance. Let’s just relax people.
A pair of quality, elegant nude/tan or black leather thong sandals never goes out of style and is always effortlessly chic.. If you have narrow feet, they will just slip right through slides.
Well...I have recently bought these OUT styles: Striped long cardi from talbots Patchwork pants from BR Long maxi shirt from BR Toe sandals from Macys I guess these retailers haven't caught on. I definitely agree with the baby doll tops. Especially the ones that don't gather under the bust. If you have a larger bust you can hide a six month baby bump under there 😂
When the prices go down! LOL. Exactly. I can't buy trendy fashion because it's too expensive when it's trending. But as soon as it's not, the prices come down and I can buy them!
I agree about the camo and the olive safari jacket will always work. Also agree about the cold shoulder look. My daughter's high school banned that top and the girls protested because they were so popular
Totally agree, it's my favorite pattern. I feel like camo comes and goes every few years, so sometimes it is common and sometimes not. However, I don't think I ever look at anyone wearing it and think it looks dated.
Styles are constantly changing. I say, stay with classics and add a very few inexpensive trends, and stop wasting money on clothes that end up in the landfills.
I love you lmbo. You're so brave I can only imagine the comments you filter lol . That being said you will have to grab my cold shoulder tops from my Bat wing momma arms when I dye. Lmao . All in good fun . Love your videos . Keep em coming !!!
