do yOU have outfit blindness ?!!?!? ⋆.˚ ᡣ𐭩 .𖥔˚ **fashion micro trend edition 

Another way to "combat" this is to simply embrace it: yes, you will cringe in the near future and ask yourself "what was I thinking?" Just accept it.

I get you, but I think the outfit blindness is part of the fun. Art, fashion, literature are all a reflection and expression of the times. Participate now! While it is normalized, before the moment is gone forever. I don’t want to KNOW BETTER. I want to double down and DIG IN! 😂

ur channel is so underrated! i feel like you're the only fashion youtuber who realizes that not all trends are cute:)

I always feel this art blindness when i'm working on a sketch for a long time and finishing it thinking it looks like a masterpiece then leaving it for a snack and coming back being shocked how awful and disproportionate it is. And this just applies to outfits too because youre like in a high

i was drunk for the majority of my early twenties so my outfit blindness was insane. when i got sober i sold like 80% of my wardrobe lmao

As a young millennial, I've felt like Gen Z have had "outfit blindness" ever since Y2K came back. Just as it looked rubbish on us when we were young, it looks rubbish on the youngins now too lol

skirt over trousers are my favvv!! I like wearing this green skirt i have on top of brown parachute trousers bcs it makes me look like a tree :3

u ate on every single point i fear and the 7 year old analogy is literally what is happening

"The fact that this is so ubiquitous makes it so boring." YES thank you. I have never actually seen anyone wearing a headscarf over a hat, though. I wonder where those girls live.

Recently heard of the concept of a "fashion victim" and it feels to me that outfit blindness is a sister concept to it.

Pinterest is so evil for this

We did skirts over pants in the 80’s. Also that acrylic jewelry too. All the trends recycle over and over. If you want to be trendy just hold onto everything because it all eventually comes back around.

so refreshing to hear a fashion girl talk abt this, i've been thinking it for ages myself - i fear many "trendy" ppl nowadays lack this kind of longer-term perspective and firm sense of identity with their clothes💔my partner and i call it "trend soup" when we see someone wearing 3+ trends in a single fit, lol

The over accessorizing and layering trends never really suited me and made me feel like I wasn’t seeing something that made so many people love them. I much more prefer to focus on colors and silhouette when I pick my outfits and that works for my going out outfits AND just everyday life for me :) I really enjoy your more opinionated videos!

it is so refreshing to watch fashion videos that don’t feel like an ad ❤

one way i try to combat this is i only save pics on pinterest that inspire me to style my already existing clothes in a new way . so i’ll look for photos of things that are similar in shape , texture , color etc to what i have & save outfits with those pieces as opposed to outfits w completely new pieces - that would be just me playing into the trends . i’ve been watching for a while but realized just now i forgot to subscribe , i luv uv ur calm energy in these vids :+))

i truly believe , that clothing fabric that covers you and that we all are going to die .... so even if you wear something weird , its okey ...not to minimize fashion or style...only the stress around it

Those glasses are iconic on you. You are GLASSES

Most people have had outfit blindness in their life cause they are experimenting with what suits them the best? Cause i have had "Outfit Blindness" in the past and now developed my own style because of it

the new intro is so cute!!

all of this is so true and great and i'm reminded of how i definitely feel like i am influenced by trends and i do wear things that you could say are trendy, but a lot of my friends have said that when i wear them it doesn't feel like i'm dressing for the trend, i'm just dressing like me and there happens to be some overlap. and i feel like that's where we all want to be. this sounds like im boosting my own ego now LMAO... oops

you gotta see through this point of view, many people are still young in their late teens and early 20s, trying to experiment with their style and see what suits them which is okay to experiment and have fun. I’ve watched so many videos of girls aloud looking back at their old outfits from when they were in their 20s cringing at the stuff they wore

One of the things I like so much about your videos is how much you encourage people to really come to terms with their OWN style!! Love it!

I get really annoyed when something I genuinely like wearing becomes a microtrend 😭 I have a really colourful, sort of maximalist style since middle school and now I see pieces of clothing that I own trending eg. the shirt with ribbons in the middle and big hearts at the bottom, I had it made by a tailor and now I see every "wear this trends for summer" girl has it, like pleeeease I'm a star, I don't blindly follow trends

We need a Q&A/All about me vid 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

this is what i’ve been thinking about fashion trends these days and you just explained it so well ash!

i litterly found your vids yestrday and i’ve been watching them like crazy😭love your channel girl !

I've just found your channel and I love it ! It's nice to see someone being kinda judgmental (but not mean) and also objective, I'll just add that micro trends can also be really unecological due to big fast fashion compagnies taking them as an occasion to sell lots of poor qualities items, so it could be a good idea to keep that in mind while shopping (especially online) aswell as the other great advices given in this comment section :) (sorry for my english btw)

I've absolutely fallen in love with your channel and look forward to every single one of your videos :') every single video of yours is so spot on and they feel like sitting down with a friend and chatting about fashion.

i love the point's you made! i feel like a big part of outfit blindness is as you said adapting styles to your aesthetic and not overdoing it

also i love your new little intro with the goat! very cute :D

As an old lady I'll say, I've been wearing the same basics for 20+ years (shape, fit, style etc not the same pieces, mostly) and occasionally I will add something trendy, but only if it fits my personal style, or can uplift what I am wearing. Wasting your money on trends is fun in the moment, but buying things that suit you and fit well will always be best and more sustainable for your wardrobe and wallet.

I try on outfits that I see on Pinterest and they look so cute in the picture, but then i try to recreate it and it just... doesn't look the same. But if i take the idea of the outfit and recreate it in my style, now it suits me and I'm happy with it. I look back on my 2020 photos and think some of the outfits were cute but not all of them were, but i was happy in the moment and that's what mattered. I lost my sense of style to tiktok in the 2020 era and i am slowly regaining it, it feels so freezing to finally just be myself.

just love watching your videos

i love when i find out random things i do are trendy lmao started wearing skirt + pants cause i like skirts and was cold and vibed with it so much i started just doing it cause i liked how i looked lmao

i think u have accidentally solved overconsumption (ily your videos, they are so lovely ❤)

Just discovered you today and I already watched a ton of your videos. I immediately subscribed because you seem to be such a lovely person and I really like the way you approach the idea of trends and how you analyze them. Just a round of applause for you 👏🏻❣️

my favourite educational podcaster!! and podcast hehe

Hi !!🫶🏼once again you nailed it !!! I love your videos !!! I love that you explained blind fashion because that’s what it is ( I get it now !)🤭 just want to mention also that you’re so raw and true to your opinions that that is a quality of a great friend in you , thank you

this vid was so goodddd

i adore you so much, these videos are so helpful♥️♥️🙏🙏

I love your videos!!! ❤

I love finding a new channel I can hyperfixate on for the whole day, thank you✨

If outfit blindness was an illness I would defo be diagnosed xoxo loved this vid !!

Loving all of this content

lovely video as always

Sometimes I just go in public naked. You won’t have outfit blindness if you don’t wear an outfit.

i LOVE your videos please never stop sharing your opinions

literally liked and subbed right after that little lamb intro he is very convincing

Omg. Love love what you said about the 7 year-olds and revising ❤

i take bits of trends and add it to my style which is more permanent

girl you are so pretty! just supermodel beauty, truly

You are adorable 😊 love watching your videos, love the simplicity of them! ❤️🌻☀️💛👍🏾

ash callaghan: you are a beautiful girl me: !! 🥺🌸

This video is brilliant 👏 I noticed you are wearing your watch, I remember in a previous video you said it broke. Thank you for being a authentic person.

points were made! also you are gorgeous.

I’m very opinionated sometimes lol when it comes to clothes for sure. Love the channel so happy o found it!!

this has become my fav channel

I really liked your comment about the blockette core aesthetic. One of the best sources of fashion out there is regualr people. Fashion starts from the ground up -- the people -- not IG.

I love your videos and today I was just scrolling around online shopping (as one does) and I came across some really cool military surplus hats and I thought of you because of the video (I can't remember which one now) where you said that you loved hats with flaps. Idk if it's your vibe or not but military surplus tends to be cheap and has a ton of stuff in neutral colors and that has a practical no-frills look which seems to fit your style! Anyways, I thought it could be something cool to check out.

I think theonly important thing is putting whatever you do is need to have your personal touch on it or else it just looks notlike you

lets never stop talking about the football jersey bc it was cute on about 2 people and now i see it everywhere and its pretty horrendous😭😭

Love that you are so willing to share your opinions! You are right in so many ways! I’m person so tied of cowboy boots 😒it’s too trendy bad. Thanks Ash🙏🏻

Girl we love your vids 😭😭🫶🫶

I have a lot of outfit pics on my phone but I have a folder for pictures where I truly in my gut felt like myself wearing. for me theres just a gut feeling when you wear an outfit that you'll hate later. its a certain kind of discomfort and not genuine feeling. still not bad to wear and have fun in but it won't go in that folder

This is off topic, but i just love your accent 😔🙏 Your voice in general is very soothing, its honestly one of the reasons i love to watch your videos 🫶

this was brilliant! absolutely love your content. hugs from switzerland.

how come u so on point

lovely video!Though I realized that I have been wearing the same outfits since 2019, which I don't know what to think of, bc I don't like my style most of the time. That's why I right now love trying out new trends, even when they aren't even trending anymore.

Mark my words, she’ll be the next RU-vid sensation fr

Spot on ! Many overdone styles and trends end up looking dated. Have you done a “favourite looks” video recently? Would love to see another ❤

I cae from alexa sunshine’s chanel and stayed bcs this chanel is so interesting

YESSSSS

not me scrolling on Pinterest while watching this video lol

Strangely the only outfits I look back and cringe are the ones from middle school . The rest of my outfits from then on were very reflective of what I loved at the time and I still think it looks good but I wouldn’t wear it today since my style has changed slightly since then

I don’t think I’ll ever wanna b absolutely critical of old outfits even if I cringe thinking about it. I will think, it was a moment, it was a purpose, it was fun, etc.. different ppl end up liking it … it just depends. I don’t think ppl recognise how extremely common outfit blindness is. Fashion in the 2000s was despicable - some genuinely like it but if I was an adult @ the time, I would’ve believed ppl’s sense of fashion was messed up. It was the trend 2b outfit blind. As well, Ppl who don’t think about fashion critically r simply fashion blind in the sense they have no personal sense of fashion.

Def not ignorant to say you can tell. My friends and i sniff it from a mile away. Anytime i look online or shops.. so glad im goth lmfao…. Although I had to come to terms to not listening to the goblins in the ear in my younger years to waiver from my staple colours and cuts. My wardrobe is supremely cohesive and I buy less due to it being such a concrete style / concrete in what I gravitate towards. Which I am told it is more so the corporate goth look. My outfit blindness existed in my teens and my early 20s. And it is really in my face how bad some peoples outfits look. Ill fitted in an unintentional way due to a desperation to be apart of a certain trend, people adverse to the concept of an iron. It goes on… it looks really bad. And might I be the bold one to say a majority of these resellers with a following, all look the same. And the “let me style you” / bundle outfits under a “core” aesthetic.. all look like garbage. But to each their own, more so it is jarring to me when they are my age or older and doing these really bad outfits, especially really cheap. Along with the amount of product waste that happens due to the turnover. The amount of videos I watch that are these people in those spaces that in one video go on and on about quality over quantity… and get rid of half of their closet. And then the next 5 uploads is their new hauls.. its insane. Its all an excuse to make space for more garbage they wont like a month from now, because it is more often than not these people do not have a concrete identity and hope to find themselves in these tidbits. It is like another video essay I had watched the other day. In talk of all these core aesthetics in which we live in a fast paced world with a horrid economy in which, rather than being the thing itself. Aka having the hobby that coincides with it. Like you mentioned, the football. Or they used the example of tennis core.. the horse girl aesthetic.. ballet etc so on so forth. Rather than affording to go into the hobby and having the time for it. People more so than ever are gravitating towards looking the part of the thing they wish they could do. It leaves behind an emptiness that goes unfulfilled. Or it is a short lived trend in your wardrobe rather than existing in your identity.

Love this! I couldn’t agree more with you about the trendy instagramer‘s outfits and the piling on all the at the moment trendy pieces. I think those really work on instagram for instagram. I mean they’re very attention grabbing but irl they would maybe look a little weird (too trendy), not many people would even own all those pieces. Also yes to talking breaks from styling and from social media!

Hey Ash! Just an out of context comment, Dude you look so calmingly pretty

I personally like to look at 2 factors when deciding wether or not i want to hop on a trend 1) Did I like it before it was trendy? 2) Do I already have it? Obviously if you said yes to number 1, i think its totally cool to go for the trend, but make sure to do it in the way YOU envisioned it and not necessarily in its trendiest form. If you said yes to number 2 its totally cool to go for and try, but you might end up hating it later down the line, which can inform you the next time something similar is trending on wether or not to get it. If you answered no to both questions but still want to participate in the trend, wait until it goes out of style and people start hating to see if the trend genuinely changed your mind on a style. If it goes out of style and you find yourself defending it anyway it probably was right for you, but if you find yourself hesitating or agreeing with people, you likely never liked it to begin with. Remember a costume is not about what you are wearing, but how you are wearing it.

Insane to me that football jerseys are a trend now. I'm Brazilian. They're the most quintessential casual wear item ever genuinely

I'm such a clown bc I'm the opposite and never touched a trend. Feels like I need to follow more trends😂

me making a clay ring rn 😳

You look very familiar.... I mean... Did you cast in Harry Potter

i love ugly outfits

what do you mean you taught year 2s I thought you just hit 19 😭😭😭😭

I think when it comes to trends you can really really tell if someone spends too much time on tiktok 😅 sorry

nobody fw ash callaghan uploads like i do

im just confused why everyones (fashion influencers) Pinterest looks the same. aren't all of them tailored to u by an algorithm...? do they just have the same interests lmao

no hate but can’t people just wear what they want

and honestly vice versa, there are some people who don’t spend enough time on pinterest and so they look out of space and out of time, their way of dressing looks outdated and crusty
