nothing trendy right now is timeless 

I’m *engaged* and have been low key stressed about finding a “timeless” wedding dress. I saw a woman defend buying a trendy wedding dress, saying she got married in the 80s and had a VERY 80s wedding dress, and loves looking back at the pictures - even though it looks silly and dated, it reminds her more of that specific time in her life and the world. I’ve been starting to notice a shift in my own perception of looking back on old trends I participated in: cringing at them less, and having more of a fondness and nostalgia (even if I would NEVER wear it again lolol)

You are the only fashion influencer i watch at the moment. Everybody else and all the outfits I see on instagram are just stressing me out because I feel like I need to buy something or forget what I actually like and what my personal style is. The so called trendy girls mostly just wear everything that's "trendy" or in some way "forward" but don't have a personal touch to it. They just have a lot of clothes, look pretty and wear whatever urban outfitters tells them to wear. Your videos are so refreshing because you kinda focus on individualism and longevity and that's what I'm aiming for this year. Love from Germany

I know this is super random but the way you just lean your phone on your belly like a built-in tummy table is so precious and funny I couldn't help but notice and make me smile

you are the existentialist of the yt fashion girly community

the chunky pendant is the new owl necklace from the 2010’s hahaha ❤️

i think we'll feel the same way about mushroom decals and prints as we did about mustaches, chilis, and random pineapples/avocados on everything. which is a shame because i love mushrooms so it makes me weirdly sad that they're just a "trend" now. not even the fungal networks are safe from commodification. going along with that, the psychedelic trippy online ceramic knock-off sort of shirts will be so dated soon. real online ceramics/funky screen printed shirts IMO will last for longer though because they're more unique to the person/brand than something mass produced at UO or H&M.

I feel like this was really dead on. The more trend cycles I witness as I get older, I feel like I'm able to think more realistically about how I/we may feel about it in a year, five years, decades, etc.

I know this was meant to be a funny and playful video (and it was!) but I think there is also such a prescient point here: it’s so insidious when influencers talk about pieces or looks being “timeless” because it convinces us to buy buy buy into them every season. At this point it’s essentially a marketing tactic to obfuscate the trend cycle because it’s gotten so out of hand. It’s so important to take a step back and remember that there is no such thing as “timeless” when it comes to fashion (at least in this era), and to focus instead on personal style and sustainability in what we wear - which can include playing with trends! We just need to be conscious about them :)

I think that platform boots and sneakers are such a timeless thing for some subcultures, they’ve been thriving there for decades.

This is so spot on. I used to get embarrassed thinking about how much I used to love a trend that is no longer in style (I loved mint green/galaxy everything in the early to mid 2010s) but now it brings back more nostalgia. These pieces used to make me really happy! It's cool to be able to look at the trends and think about what you were like when you participated in them.

I love this pregnant no filter commentary especially bc I’m pregnant with no filter right now lol

I get so triggered by some fashion bloggers going on about how timeless things are when we all know they're going to have an almost entirely new wardrobe in a year or two. Like, yeah, cardigans are timeless, but that one very popular iteration of the cardigan you just bought is very of the moment. And while, yes, most people will continue to wear it anyway because looking super current doesn't matter to most people and budgets are limited, they will not. It's starting to come off as super preachy. Not everyone is like this obviously and I make an effort to follow more genuinely sustainable creators. Can we just acknowledge when something is a trend or a fad? Thank you.

i think that the way trends resurface makes you wear things that you would’ve absolutely sworn off years ago. i used to get so disgusted by mid rise and low rise jeans, but now that they’re trending, i’ve actually noticed that it fits my body type way better?? i’ve been sticking to super duper high waisted pants but never thought to give a chance to any jeans that go below my belly button. but who knows maybe i’ll hate it again in a couple years lmao

Honestly, I will always think that a well-made flower crown is so super cute!! The crappy extremely fake ones are awful, sure, but there are some genuinely beautiful and realistic flower crowns that I would have no problem with wearing any day lol

yes i get that vibe from tiktok! like that ppl try to be a bit outlandish in order to be the first to start something….it rarely feels genuine even tho that is technically the “way” to start trends

Trends cycle so fast at this point it's the best for you to just find your cut and your style trendy or not. Your videos are so helpful to me finding my styles and you inspire me so much by being so confident and cool in what you wear and how you style it. Also you using your bump as a little tummy table for your phone was so adorable to me!! Best of wishes to you!

Proud to say I’ve been wearing shoulder pads even if they aren’t trendy. I also like the puffy sleeve trend bc I like anything that accentuates my shoulders so I look more broad than I actually am.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I am loving these subtle "roast" ideas that are challenging ideas of what it means to be fashionable.

I'm kind of glad colorful/printed tights are a trend. I loved colorful and patterned tights all throughout middle school and high school and I'm so delighted there are more fun options. I even have green care bear ones!

I think the equivalent to the mustache print / mustache accessories could be smiley faces? like the smiley faces on jewelry or a bunch of smiley faces on a sweater lol. I think it's very cute right now but probably wont age well

During quarantine in 2020, tiedye was very popular. It was one of my favorites, and it's a shame it didn't last through the majority of the early 2020s.

If in 10 years someone asked me what we were wearing in the 2020’s I’d definitely say a tube top with maki skirt, boots, sunglasses and braided hair with either a tote bag or small shoulder bag

It’s funny how trends are reimagined or renamed and people go WILD for it 🤣

I love looking back and laughing about the trends and looking at pictures and thinking I looked silly! The only thing I don't like is having clothes that go out of style quickly and don't last bc of that. That's why it's good to get fun trendy accessories/thriifted stuff like you said

I love your take on these things! I think it's really interesting to think of the current parallels of so-called "out-of-style trends" from a while ago and see how the same will happen to the trends happening right now... I love how your content encourages us to make use of what we have in our closet and be more individualistic with our style (and also to shop sustainably) rather than focussing on buying more clothes and participating in micro trends or "out there" trends that only look good in photos, it's so refreshing

I feel like most of the pieces that are trending now are SUPER simple or just very neutral and easy to work with so everyone wants to call them “basics” or “timeless” when in reality theyre not at allll

hey Laini, i really love your frequent videos at the moment, they always make my day a little sweeter :) sending you, Brandon and your little bean lots of love

been noticing the isabel marant sneaker wedges making a comeback

I remember my fit back in 2012 was black leggings, sweater, an infinity scarf AND can’t forget ugg boots or combat boots 😭 ah the nostalgia

I literally love hearing your take and opinions on things because they’re so true!! I really loved watching this video and hearing the comparison of trends and how they may resurface, that’s so cool!!

Someone on tiktok had a rule that if you like it now AND you liked it 5-10 years ago, then THAT’S what’s timeless for you

I really really enjoy your commentary on fashion and as everyone else before me said: love that there is no filter. You inspired me to rethink how to style the clothes that are already in my wardrobe. All the best to you, your boyfriend and your little bean 🦋

Love it, I was talking to a friend because I want to donate my skinny jeans because I never wear them, and she told me that she is not going to give hers because she loves them. It is ok if we are not in trendy timeless pieces, I never wear blazers, I don't own any because even if I love how they look I don't use them for work and I don't use them casual because is too damn hot where I live. Wear what you want and later maybe we will laugh about it.

Love your videos! I think you should include pictures of what you are talking about just for a guidance.

This is why you are my favorite RU-vidr. You are so real when it comes to fashion, all of your videos truly inspire me.

Congratulations for your baby! Praying for you mama.

Trendy isn't supposed to be timeless. Have fun with it, everyone♡ there were lots of shows in the 00's that dunked on people's personal style but even the people hosting those shows look back and say they were wrong to police other's fashion. Whether something is in style or not, if it flatters your body you'll look back and say it's a fit♡

i discovered u yesterday and have been binging ur videos. i love ur takes on topics like these its so interesting to watch

About the galaxy and cow print: one of the most current versions of that is the temperature print inspired by thermal cameras, especially in body shapes on dresses or tops. it's so recent, Bella Hadid in a dress like that is on everyone's Pinterest right now.

ur so right girl

I am loving these talky videos so much ! ur one of my favourite youtubers :) also ur hair looks super cute and in general u are glowing rn !!! xo

I never stopped wearing infinity scarves. I love how chunky they are and they’re actually practical

A timeless masterpiece!❤️❤️❤️❤️

i love this video so real and thought out

i love vintage styles so ive been a shoulder pad fan for like 3 years now and the other day i got this awesome 80s black jaquard blouse with puff sleeves and shoulder pads from a charity shop (for like £8) and im so pumped to wear it

laini i am truly OBSESSED with you. i simply cannot get enough of your videos

You’re so real for this video

does anyone have any youtuber recommendations similar to Laini’s content? Laini is by far my fav youtuber and i always watch her content as soon as she uploads, then idk who else to watch !! 😭

you're such a beautiful soul laini!

Omg I’m so early hi Laini love you and been loving these talking/discussion videos

Love the make up and hair! So fresh and cute

100% agree on the infinity scarf!! Since we are slowly getting into the 2010s again, we are definitely going to see more infinity scarves with the tall fall boots. Although it would be more in a blair waldorf type of way though vs christian girl autumn.

ily laini

You are on the roll with all these uploads Laini!! Hope you are taking time to rest 🤍

I've a very classic style, but sometimes I get very intense desire to but a trendy piece and EVERYTIME I end not caring about the trendy piece in a very few use, because I only love classic style. Black and white jeans, t shirts, shirts with long sleeves, sometimes a blouse, but for example last spring I got a black dress with flowers, worst error ever. For example I have a headband slighly puffed and I love it, very light cream color ahaha

Love this video! It feels like we’re ‘chatting’ even though it’s just me saying ‘ooh good point’ and ‘haha I remember those’ to all your points 😆

i didn't have any strong feelings until you mentioned the overusage of the blazer. u right about that one 100%.

Love this video and I think it really gives some food for thought! However, when it comes to the "business casual" look with blazers, suits etc. I think it differentiates depending on where you are from. I'm from Denmark and here the business casual "trend" has been a thing for years and blazers have been worn to the club ever since I can remember - yes in different styles and fits throughout time - but I don't think it will ever feel out of place here to pair it with casual clothing or going out clothing as it is more regarded as a simple and classic jacket rather than something connected to formal/business attire at least when it comes to "women's fashion".

This is so random but i saw a girl wearing a white daisy flower crown at the beach recently and it looked stupid cute 😭 i feel like it was bc their hairstyle complemented it though, their hair was short and light colored which matched the daisies! Idk the flowers n hair color matching was a cool touch n rly caught my eye!

I really think old trends can come back and we'll eat them up if they become elevated compared to their previous siblings

Amen to that! Girl kudos to you for keeping up with all the fashion stuff while preggers! I know I couldn’t 😅Wonder Woman🥰

truly the only way to be satisfied with ur style is to wear items that U love! and r comfortable in 💯💯

also your “pregnant critiques” sound great to me! its nice to hear people being critical in a respectful way these days (:

Loved the video! I was wondering if u could add photos or visuals of some of the trends next time bc I think that might be helpful to viewers :)

I had been wondering when I became so trending in my style, but now that you mentioned that everything is trending, I get it. So true! 😅

Cow print bring the galaxy print of this decade- IVE NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT oh god

The more I get into fashion the dizzier i feel. Trends move on too quickly! I'm glad that the only ones I've invested on are the business casual attire because i work on an office now. Also after getting into kibbe body types, i'm trying to focus on what's flattering and how to work the pieces i already have around it. Otherwise I would be losing my mind over trying to keep up with micro-trends. I didn't even got to wear my hand-me-down corsets before the trend died.

People need to start caring less about trends and wear what they love and feel good in. It’s interesting to me that you talk so much more about personal style in your videos in the last few months yet still say you wonder what you were thinking wearing an outfit from a week before but it’s definitely something that comes with age. I’m in my early 30s and from about mid 20s I really leaned into my own style. Does that mean I don’t buy and wear trendy things? No, but I only buy and wear trendy things that already work with my exciting wardrobe and more importantly feel like me. For me blazers are a staple and always will be, blazers and pant suits have been my favourite for nearly a decade now so whether they’re on trend or not, you’ll catch me wearing them because they feel like me. When I look back at my outfits from the last 5 or so years I have no regrets, love most of them and some I wish I could wear again (my body’s changes so many don’t fit me anymore). Once your goal is to start dressing like yourself, when people see your outfits and say this is so you, you know you found it and the trends won’t matter. I think timeless pieces exist but they’re timeless for a specific person not for everyone like the blazers I’ve mentioned and you mentioned in one of your previous trends vs timeless video. Wear what feels like you, always and you’ll have no regrets but fond memories with your old outfits and maybe even inspire your new looks too.

Love your outfit and your trends. Yay for being pregnant. Thanks for sharing this sweetie.

Someone who loves fashion and also is really conscious about fast fashion and consumerism. I know what you said is so true and that's why if I'm buying something I give myself a time before buying anything. I'll take the example of sweater vest l, they have always existed and tbh I hated them as a kid to and used to call them impractical when my mother forced me to wear it. I really liked last to last fall when they started trending but told myself my younger self will think I was doing a heinous crime. I finally bought one last year after thinking I still like them after a year. I'm aware I'll might start hating them again but I know I thought it over and I just didn't gave into the trend.

hello, can you show us the picture of what you taking? It's easier to recognize things. for example types of scarfs and so on. thank you :)

I love ur pregnant no filter vids Laini

I wish u could add more visuals since I don't know what every piece looks

The clip of you talking about casetify makes me wanna cut bangs so bad. So adorable

"A blazer with EVERYTHING" I'm looking at you denim shorts + blazer outfits. It's incredible to me that anyone thinks you can successfully dress up jorts. Just let them be their casual selves, it ain't that serious, damn. 😂

I remember wearing platform sneakers like og sketchers and once they fell out of fashion i HATED them so much until i finally was an adult and felt nostalgic

lol this video was fun but i love platform sneakers and platform shoes in general for like the past 5 years so i feel like they're timeless for me. i can't see myself ever giving them up they make me feel powerful. i think the difference is if something is a part of your personal style first vs just looking like a mannquin or lppl you can tell scroll on social media way too much

I totally agree but also I don’t know if something gives you nostalgia then it becomes timeless to you for example I was on Tumblr back in 2010 to 2014 and was obsessed with the Jeffrey Campbell Lita boots my parents wouldn’t let me have them I was a teenager so when I saw a pair in my size in new condition on Depop for 50 bucks I snagged them and I fully intend on wearing them all fall and winter

a little late on commenting but if i could say anything about the time we are living in (in reference to fashion), it would be that we have seemed to really gain a ton of freedom when it comes to dressing ourselves. Those who are used to trends are really used to the freedom and creativity and struggling a bit and then those who always felt they had to conform to trends are thriving! I think my advice would be to figure what they like and what looks good on them and makes them feel good and chances are you’ll look good and stylish! so much is trending that nothing and everything is trending all at once!

This reminds me that I just am too picky. I hated everything from 10 years ago as a kid and everything equivalent you mentioned now except maybe the tights.

“I don’t care about future lady and her opinions” This is so profound honestly, I’m telling myself this every morning now.

Can you do your pregnancy morning/nighttime routine/self care for a video? Another video idea is what I eat in day vlog?

i will never stop loving flower crowns but puff headbands aren’t for me. they look like elizabethan to me haha

Me and my big ass legs are going to stick with chunkier/platform shoes so I don’t look like a tree trunk🤠🤠 it’s funny because I look back at my small shoes I used to wear and cringe at how I looked in them, but I see your point it does get to be excessive hahah

This is no shade to anybody because everyone is always allowed to wear whatever they want and whatever they feel their best in, but I think a few years from now people are going to laugh that they spent so much on djerf Avenues clothing just to all look like clones of Matilda djerf (the stuff is so cute, don’t get me wrong but so pricy and can be easily thrifted and thrifted things always shows more originality)

When I think of timeless pieces of think of closet staples like denim no matter how you flip it no one will ditch denim whether it’s jeans or jackets or heels everyone will always have heels in their closet. The things you mentioned in the video are definitely not here to stay…fashion is ever changing over the top pieces just don’t stick around

can u put photos of items u r describing?

In northern western europe we have been wearing this scarves since 2015 I consider it not a trend that is arpund for 2 seasons now

what’s the lip info!!!!!! pls i need to know whatever ur wearing on them pls omg

This would’ve been 1000x better if she posted the pics along with it

I never stopped loving infinity scarves. I just dont have one anymore.

TBH, i know printed tights are having a specific moment, but i feel like they are timeless? There were statement tights in the 60's, 70's, 80's, a bit less in the 90, i remember loving my statement tights as a child in 00's and in the 2010's. Statement tights are timeless, altough the excecution might differ

I love this kind of content but could you please add some pictures when you talk about precise type of clothing, thanks !!

i think blazers + casual -is still cool.. princes d actually made jeans, printed t and a big blazer - a signature look. thats the definition of timeless. we need to consider the history of fashion before 2000.

When you said “2005” for the sneaker wedges but I remember begging my mom to buy them for me in 2012 😭 I’m ashamed

would've loved it if you'd used photos, because a lot of these trends I couldn't imagine. But fun video!

I have problem with wearing what i want and not feeling like an idiot, because some people on internet say its not trendy, for example i still wear my air forces, i know its stupid but i can‘t help myself, and i hate this feeling, and thought that i need to buy some new balance dad shoe, adidas sambas, air jordans to feel fashionable

Can you put pictures about what you are talking next time Love your videos 💫

lol my fave thrifting youtuber (amanda symonds) jus posted a video YESTERDAY where she picked up silver sneaker wedges LOLLL (to be fair i still hate them and don’t really see them coming back but they suit her and her style so well so i don’t mind it)

Hi Laini, I just watched one of your videos for the first time and Im obsessed!! I just have a somewhat of an egotistical request, because I,m not american I dont necessarily know what you mean by sneaker wedges and things like that, also references to like 2005s fits xD so of you could post a reference picture on the screen just for context thatd be awesome for us non americans anyways love your videos gonna keep binging them thxxxxx
