Disney Channel Fashion Crimes Against Humanity 

this us superrrr interesting actually

They’re not ugly but they are noticeably not as attractive as the main character.

Sounds like how they framed Victorious

I can recall COUNTLESS trips to Justice with hopes of constructing a shake it up style outfit.

I vividly remember watching an episode of Shake It Up in 2010/2011 and raiding my closet to put together an outfit with a million prints and layers and random statement accessories that I had begged my mom to buy from Claire’s (think fingerless lace gloves and bows with studs on them for…some reason) but when I tried it all on, it just looked stupid. I couldn’t understand why they looked cute and I didn’t, so I cried about it and stuck to my basic preteen attire after that. I wish I could go back in time to tell myself they didn’t look cute, they were just on TV and I was 12 so I assumed their style was the pinnacle of fashion 😭

I am genuinely glad my family was too broke to recreate those horrible outfits

And Rocky and cece have the audacity of making fun of gunther and tinka fashion dressed that way 😅

i had the shake it up super high top converse with the rainbow lacing and i lowkey slayed that

interesting i didn't know this

@@chisom. I mean, not the exact same things, but the styles, silhouettes and accessories, she was pretty much based around Paris' 2000s aesthetic.

cant believe i didnt realize her name was a play on paris hilton until like 2yrs ago😭

@@mmurdI mean I didn’t connect it till this comment😭

@@mmurdthat means there’s a Milan Lipton out there somewhere

i unironically love it as well as that similar look with the pink skirt and black leather jacket in the ice cream performance

That and the rainbow dress from the movie! Is it bad I'd still wear that today? 🤣

That was cute for the time honestly, but I think what kinda messed up the look was the wig. I feel like that specific blonde didn't look great on her

@@frozenicequeen7this dress !!! and the dress that she wore when receiving her award on that one episode, where memaw and grams were fighting back stage.

@@daniv8500 yeah, I feel like as seasons went on the wigs got worse and worse

same!! editing this video made me sooo nostalgic, i miss being a kid sometimes

I wanted Cece's sparkly converse so bad.

And always enormous rooms. As a Brit, I still can't get over how big all the rooms and houses are in American sitcoms & dramas. We live in tiny boxes by comparison.

+creepymiddleagedman Honestly, you should have seen my style when I was about 6-8 years old or so. When I've looked at old photo albums, I noticed that I never really wore what others wore. And as I got older, idk if my mom made me start making clothing choices for myself which tbh isn't a bad thing at all and I've worn some major mismatched outfits when I was younger. And to some level, I still wear some mismatched clothes/outfits without a care in the world. Then again, I was 1 of the taller kids in elementary school where I was probably around 7 or so wearing bell bottom jeans. Given, idk if that was in style or not, but I was never "up" on fashion trends until my bff had introduced me to Low-Rise skinny jeans and when I mean low, I mean low-low. Sorry if a little tmi, but bikini style underwear is practically how low the Real low-rise skinny jeans were. Given, they weren't as low as that, but I'd wear my jeans just slightly above that which is pretty low under my belly button. Apparently, cargo jeans/cargo pants are coming back into style and I'm usually not one up w/the latest fashion trends, but that was def. one I went for. I got lucky enough to find a low-ish rise pair of cargo pants. In terms of the current low-rise jeans, the majority of those rise sizes are mid-sizes over the original original low rise size back from when I was like 13 lol. Apart from a potential friendship fallout, I think once low-rise jeans had been phased out into high rise jeans = Nope, I'm out. And I started to wear leggings and sweatpants far more often than not.

Bruh when I was 10 too ! with my neon legging and short layered tops, all my clothes, looking weird at school, gosh, what a time it was...!! I was almost bullied for this 💀 people in my area wasn't really interested in Disney channel, my mom let me bc i was happy but she would say I looked ridiculous too 😅😂😂

@@liabstrait8306 I've looked at some old photos of mine before too. When I was in elementary school, I wore bell bottom jeans. But then I saw a picture of myself wearing 2 very mismatched floral patterns together. Also, I did go out in public like that and I'm like: "What was I thinking." Given, now being an adult who is 30, I still don't care about being mismatched, but I'd never wear 2 floral patterns again w/the way I had. I think about middle school/high school is when my best friend got me into Low-Rise skinny jeans. And I think by our Senior Year, one day, I asked her about it and she was like: "I haven't worn skinny jeans in ages," and this prob. around the same time High Rise jeans became very popular among the newer generation of kids. I envy those who can do both low and high rise jeans, but me = nope. So I stopped wearing jeans almost completely after that unless it was for work. But thankfully where I had worked at for about a year, their dress code was super laxxed and their 1 rule was "no blue jeans," which makes sense if you're going to be bending down a lot. I wore leggings so much when I had worked there. I literally started wearing leggings/sweatpants a lot more. Also, as I got older, I hated the bloated feeling one gets when they eat junk food when wearing jeans, lol. And with sweatpants, you can't feel that. Technically, I can tolerate mid-rise, but still highly prefer low-rise. And most stores "low-rise's," are mid-size on me. Sorry, for the extra info, but my style wasn't the best when younger, either lol.

Yeah Lola's fits had that mid 00s Harajuku street fashion look to them, especially thanks to those petticoat heavy skirts, stripped stockings and big ol buckled boots with platforms

Although Lola's fashion wasn't great the biggest crime weren't the clothes but the wigs... Party City wigs can kill almost any fit

As an adult i still strive to perfect the lizzie Mcguire hair styles lol

Most of friends DID dress this way.

I feel like it’s an over exaggerated example of how we dressed lol. Like we used a lot of the pieces. Just didn’t style them so over the top

Most girls in high school or college absolutely DID NOT dress like this 😂 especially not in Southern California.

Yes!! I was so confused. This and "mean girls" was so far off British fashion. Absolutely nuts 😅

same girl same i was Obsessed

Harper had great quirky style though her character made a lot of her own outfits

High-key still love Alex's fashion. Once she got older it felt a little too mature at times but she still killed it

For sure would still rock some of those fits idc

loll we all had this experience unfortunately

Sometimes you can actually get good finds there

this is actually such a good idea

this makes a lot of sense especially since disney put out a cheap line in target for basically this exact reason

you are so lucky i didn't start to learn more about fashion till i joined tumblr in 2012

@@chisom. I'm a geek when it comes to fashion. My mom worked at Dillard's when I was a kid so I learned some brand names from her whenever I went to see her at work. I also loved getting books on fashion,art,and old movies when I went to the library. 🥰❤️

Same age. I thought so, too.

I’m a 97 born and I think your point on tween culture is accurate.

and i think this is the problem we are having with kids today. I am older than you. I was in the 6th grade when you were born lol! But, I know a lot of bad things are coming to light about Nick and Disney but, I think we also have to remember that these shows did provide for an age group that really does get looked over now in 2024. We used to have malls and arcades for kids to hang out at. But, now it really does feel that kid are being expected to jump from "Bluey" to "Euphoria" without these channels there aren't really kids that are ready to be beyond preschool tv but not ready for the stuff adults are watching. The same goes for fashion and places to go. There is no middle ground anymore. We have 8 year olds bullying each other because they arn't going around with Stanley cups and using Retinol. There is nothing for this age group and family friendly tv shows are beginning to become a thing of the past! There are very few shows that a 9 year old can watch with their parents and each person is able to enjoy it. No places for them to go, nothing for them to watch. Then we complain that they want to jump into adult behavior. So, I guess I am just saying....What do we want them to wear? What do we want them to watch and where do we want them to hang out...because we complain that they are out there wearing retinol cream and trying to be mini adults....But what alternative is out there for them? I think this must be one of the hardest time to be an older child in modern history. In a way, I do wish kids today were dressing in "Disney" fashion because at least looking like the quirky "best friend" or wearing their hair in "Jojo bows" at least was not sexualizing them. What the answer is, I don't know. But, we are putting a double standard on these kids and that isn't fair either. I always say that childhood only lasts for a short amount of time. If you are lucky you get maybe 17 or 18 years to be a kid/teen. and when you think about our total expected life span and the fact that you have out grown so many childish things by the time you are 18, it's not fair. These kids only have a limited time to be kids and it is being taken away from them.

Also a lot of the layering was a result of trends like belly baring tops and miniskirts not being school dress code approved. Youd need to wear a tanktop or When you raised your arms your low rise flares and highrise skirt would get you in trouble. As Well as some schools not allowing sleeveless shirts. so youd have a shrug or hoodie over top, and maybe a longer sleeve shirt Underneath. So while it wasn't all that sleek or fashionable it was an attempt to manage the restrictions we hadto work with and limited access to clothes, many of us relying on kmart, walmart, and JCpennys.

They dressed like cartoons ❤

Not to mention, her concert uniform was jazzed up nicely as the seasons went on, going from pants and flats in season 1 to skirts and heels in the later seasons. I am referring to the concert band uniforms. I also like Music Support Group Academy’s current concert band uniforms, but the school is considering changing their uniforms for the next year.

Honestly I would still wear some of those fits 🤷🏻‍♀️

Spillll

i think it did! @amandamaryanna made a good video exploring the purity culture aspect of disney channel fashion

I think it had more to do with school dress codes, fashion at the time, and disney thinking they could sell more items of Clothes.

Maybe? I think I agree to an extent. I don't think my parents were too strict with what they allowed me to wear, but I definitely remember layering pants with skirts, short sleeve shirt over a long sleeve one and a jacket or cardigan. But that was also just because I liked dressing like that and my older sister was dressing this way too so I was looking up to her

Lmaoooo no😂 America tv created a false reality for people watching most of the time, don’t believe everything you see (ahem high school based movies and tv shows I’m looking at you😂)

@@Ariel-lol I know that now lol. I actually visited a while ago, cool place

overly sexualize? i don't remember that

@@andreinapereira552 weird stuff def went on, but their clothes wasn't one of them. I grew up watching everything from zoey 101 to icarly, drake josh, kenan kel, neds survival guide, and I have never seen any weird skimpy outfits for sure.

@@elmore707 idk, I'm rewatching Drake & Josh (ik, horrible timing), and after season one Drake in particular is usually dressed in clothes that are way too tight for no reason, plus the girls he 'dates' (a new one every episode) have a lot of makeup on and skin on show for alleged 14-18 year old girl-next-doors. At least they let Miranda Cosgrove keep wearing modest normal outfits all the way through.

So true. I remember Cat wore a revealing outfit in Victorious (because Dan was a creep) and that's the same point I made. Disney kept their characters looking like kids which was good

@@elmore707 Dan Schneider fought Nickelodeon to keep Victoria Justice's skirt short. And Alexa Nikolas said that the skirts she wore were so short they cut up the short leggings she wore underneath so they wouldn't show.

IKR I been watching Liv & Maddie lately (I think I didn't watch it much as a kid because that's when I started to lose interest in Disney channel) and I love Liv's outfits! She's an underrated character too

@@jocelynecupcake fr I love how she wasn’t written off as the dumb blonde but she could still be giggly and silly. I also liked that Maddie’s romance was focused on way more than her’s even though she still had some.

I remember a teacher used to have this kind of style as well. I remember thinking she was so fashionable in 2013-14 when I was a high school junior and also when I was a senior. Not exactly Disney style, but she liked scarves and belts that don’t do anything, but are fashionable. She wore lots of bright colors. Sometimes dark blues, but were also bright looking. Sort of blouse type of shirts and long skirts. Also dark jeans and sometimes pants that the baggy look on the pant legs. Kinda like the 70s, but more toned down. She wore patterns, too, including stripes, cheetah print, sometimes polka dots, etc. All sorts of patterns.

i'd for sure where most of london outfits especially that black dress w the colorful scarf i showed and that light green dress

eee me too!

@@FullmoonPhantom-dn2sr I say good for her! She wore what made her happy and that's what it's all about! I am 40 years old and I was wearing taco leggings yesterday! The adult world is so harsh that if a silly little thing makes someone happy then i THINK IT'S GOOD.

@NotWhatIamMadeFor Oh, I wasn't saying anything awful about her. Just that some people actually did wear that, and maybe 00s and 2010s fashion was a bit out there. But, if so, I don't think these comments are any different than poking fun at 60s or 70s fashion. It's just what people wore.

i like this idea 🧐

Oh yes! Can't forget Good luck Charlie! Don't forget Austin & Ally tho

samee her outfifts were soo cute

I thought so, too. Though, I’m not sure if I was maybe just growing out of Disney and starting to recognize Disney dresses down their characters and is kind of off the wall at times. I mean, I still watched Disney into HS, but, I started to notice that around Shake it Up time frame. Or maybe that was just when the tween started to die. Justice went out of business. Claire’s is idk, on its last legs? Idr. Is Claire’s still a thing?

loll it was wilddd

we all had the same experience

@@chisom. wow yeah we did 😭

honestly i didn't like capris until i started watching the show for this video, i love how they paired them with platform sandals so cute

They wear heels!

Yeah.. it's disturbing

thank you it's my first longer video like this so i'm glad you like it and for sure if disney got boring id switch to cartoon network

me too ^u^ I think i saw a cosplay video on it

true i miss it sometimes

I want a lot of the pieces I see in this video omg

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much!!😊

can't lie some of them ate

my mom was the exact same lolll

thank you so much i'm glad you're liking it ❤️

same very nostalgic for sure

I think Nickelodeon was worse than Disney though. I liked the outfits too, but you gotta admit the Disney outfits were less revealing most of the time
