being fashionable is when you can play into the current fashion and be "trendy". now, being STYLISH is being able to wear anything you want and making it look trendy and cool
@@denim4938 dont worry! You will become stylish and Im sure you already are☺️! I personally buy too many “unique” pieces so I fail making outfits a lot of the time due to me not having any basics/timeless staples. If you only buy basics, youre well off! Dont get twisted into the flashy, trendy clothes!
@@shawnabirtshninger2107 Thank you sm for the advice!! Do you have any tips of what unique pieces to buy, like I want to buy unique pieces that I can wear every other week or so
I think tiktok is really bad for fashion, we are more following “trends” rather than following or finding our own style its more like aesthetics rather than style
yeah those poeple everyday are like "yeah now im so into XXXXX clothes" (when they used to hate it, like its ok to change your mind but not change it based on monthly or anual trends, and also its so wasteful
@@LudmilaRamirez7 yeah but its so fast they change their minds they should instead look for clothes that fit them well and looks appealing to them and buy clothes that actually last long and are good quality
people used to make fun of me soooooo much in middle and high school bc i would always bust one out once fall came, but there’s nothing like a slim-fit turtleneck & skinny jeans with some ankle, calf or thigh high boots for me. it also makes my figure look great, so i feel really nice while still completely covered and not feeling the need to show skin. not to mention, bc the outfit is more plain, you can have fun with accessorizing which is always fun. as much as people crap on me for it, i always get so many compliments when i wear that same outfit to this day
I am so sick of hearing "this isn't trendy anymore" in a time when we are so focused on sustainability. Can we just stop shaming people for wearing things.. that they like?! Qnd applaud them for rewearing items for years. Come on.
I completely agree. When I shop it's for what can I wear many years down the road. Like the leather blazer she mentioned. That will never go out of style as it's been around for many decades.
same goes with feeling pressure to dress with the trends. for me personally i'm going to stick with mid rise slightly baggy jeans even though low rise jeans are coming back in
what i hate is how some people who would dress more ‘stylish’ would preach about how you should wear what you want- but then they comment on ‘basic’ girls fashion as a bad thing.
@i .candy no but i mean when they do wear what they want - but because it’s not up to their standards of stylish or it is more on the ‘basic’ side i noticed how they might be made fun of a bit for it. I think that once they’re happy it shouldn’t matter what they choose to wear.
@@pandarainbow429 The thing is many people that look generic often say that they want to wear something else but instead they wear what everyone else is wearing so they fit in and don't gey judge. Because of this "looking generic" is often associated with not wearing whatever you want.
@@NoReply28 I don't disagree with you since there are a lot of people who want to fit in. But there are others who just happens to like what someone else is wearing. Or they just couldn't afford the ones that are very different even though they want to wear it.
When I first got TikTok I felt more pressure to dress "on trend" like all the stylish gen z girls, even if it was not my personal style, but now I'm more in the mindset of incorporating a few pieces that I think I will still wear regardless of if they are on trend or not, like the Realisation Par Pegasus Tee. I've always worn printed T-shirts so that's a piece I would still love, even if it was "out of style". Also got an amazing pair of cowboy boots and I can't wait to wear them!
It happened the same to me, I felt so pressured to dress “on trend” even though my style is much more classic and minimalist. I also got the pegasus baby tee and I love it haha
I feel the same about the emo/punk style! (Not egirl lol) I've always wanted to dress emo/punk like I was looking on Tumblr for outfits wishing I could dress like that, and watching scene hair tutorials in 2010. 🥰
i like the “aesthetic” movement- i think tiktok especially confuses it with trends but i see it as more of a style you have that trends can fit into. for example, my aesthetic is dark academia, but i can incorporate trends like corsets (2020) knee socks (2013) headbands (2010s) etc etc amongst classic examples of that aesthetic.
Yesterday I saw a tiktok of a girl basing her arguments in "I'm a fashion student I know what I am saying" implying that red lips are no longer a trend and they are cheugy now and I was like it is the epitome of a timeless statement
i love the maximalist jewelry look but i always wear huge earrings and i feel like it looks so awkward when i also have a necklace on 😭 and i like what you said about how so many influencers aren't really influencers! like if all you do is hop on trends....that are already trending.....then what exactly is your influence............
oof same, I always wear big or statement earrings and I think that using necklaces with them is too much, even if I love the maximalist look. That's why I wear various rings instead; if you separate the jewellery it won't look awkward or overwhelming (for instance, using earrings and rings or using necklaces and bracelts).
yess!! i usually wear chokers if anything (if it matches the style im in that day) for necklaces when i wear statement or big earrings, n then pack on the rings as well, but it does always look weird together on me when i try to wear any other type of necklace with big earrings
Based on the thumbnail & your recent videos I just assumed you would talk about trends that became timeless and I’m glad I was right! I actually hate those “trends that are over” videos because I feel like they just encourage the micro-trend mentality and make people feel like they can’t wear stuff that they really like anymore because its “no longer cool”.
you've seriously become my favorite fashion youtuber because of how mindful you are about your wardrobe! it's so nice to watch someone who thinks the same way i do about my closet
Honestly just wear what makes you feel good. We all have different body types so just wear what works for it. I hate trends because they are not all inclusive most times. I rather stand out and feel good then wear something because everyone else is wearing it.
Wait do people actually wear cowboy boots like a classic shoe in Texas? That’s so cool hahha, I’m from sweden and it’s very different from what we wear as a classic shoe :)
@@ellaastrom8887 It's also considered a common work shoe, you'll see 90% of small town people wear it everyday on every occasion, and even in the city's it's still a common shoe to see. There are dressy cowboy boots for fancier events like weddings and such, It's quite common to see women wearing cowboy boots with their wedding dresses, there are also cowboy boots that are made specifically for working in, and there's even cowboy boots made for common everyday wear. And yes ALOT of Texans still frequently wear cowboy hats as well, I always enjoy the look of culture shock when foreigners come to visit, it reminds me that we must look quite strange to most people from other countries.
@@michaela_the_creative9412 That’s very similar to Dr Martens here in the UK. Thank you for taking the time to teach us about cowboy boots, it’s very interesting 😊
@@michaela_the_creative9412 true true the western style is just normal here cuz thats how its always been i have a pair of boots even though its not my style i work in them with my dad out in the ranch where the tall grass is
i love videos like these because they remind me to be mindful of the fashion choices i am making now; do i actually like something or have i been influenced by the fast fashion industry? i also love your commentary on the impacts of positive vs negative content !!
Dr Martens been around FOR EVER tho! Originally a pretty punk thing to wear, super high quality and super stylish. They will never go out of style simply bc of the historical value for fashion.
i know right?? i mean maybe it doesn't work with people who has inverted triangle body shape, but you could always balance that out with the right bottoms, plus you can dislike wearing it for yourself but you can't dislike puff sleeves in general
I'm like the leader of the inverted triangle girls (jk, but my shoulders are v broad and my hips are really narrow) and I love puff sleeves, because they enhance my shoulders, which are not there to be hidden, but to be shown off. I think it looks very powerful and strong on me, especially in padded blazer shoulders and in contrast I like to wear something very feminine like a red lip with those, it balances out the shoulders on an emotional base. I don't know, if that was understandable. :D
Well I’m sorry but I don’t like them, because my body is soooo inverted triangle shape, which is something I’m really insecure about and puffy sleeves enhance that😩😢
I love puff sleaves so much but not on me because I have broad shoulders. But then again maybe I’m not wearing the right bottoms to balance out my shoulders lol
Trendy is so non-inclusive, essentially saying people can't afford the Now fashion. When people try to match fashion but spend less, it's seen as Fast Fashion ie can't afford the real thing. Burn that barrier, that illusion of beauty for money. Thrifting...AFFORDABLE Thrifting...IS Recycling. Fashion should be what an individual can pull off because of their own personality and charisma. The clothes don't make the person. WE make the clothes. That being said, we're all guilty of wearing the same 20 items over and over. So make the trend downsizing!
Since when was outfit repeating a crime? We are not “guilty of wearing the same 20 items over and over” they are *GUILTY* of spending hundreds of daughters on clothing hauls and hype pieces only for them to never be worn more than 3 times
@@eo4345 Well right the part about just wearing the same 20 items but BUYING MORE CLOTHES YOU HARDLY USE OR OR NEVER USE, that would have been the complete argument. I think most folks reading my post got that.
YESSSS THRIFTING!! ABOLISH SHEIN, LOL! I get that not everyone can afford certain stuff but it's better to invest in a jacket that'll last three years for $100 than one that'll last three days for $20. We need to practice sustainable fashion/spending.
honestly i have a love - hate relationship with trends. i like them because they bring new pieces to light (like straight, baggy jeans) and i hate trends because they have people 1. feel bad for what they're wearing (its not trendy anymore you shouldn't like it) and 2. doesn't let people find what they actually like, trendy isn't really a style.
Same. My friend actually asked me how did I choose what to dress that day and I was like... I just avoid jeans (it looks and feels like school uniform for me, apart that's hot and has a very raw texture to it, find interesting cuts/fabrics that are comfy and I find beautiful (other people don't need to agree, I was called grandma numerous times, but some call it style, I just gived up), I don't like anything that presses me at all, anything hot, anything small, anything that it's hard to move in and I don't really like heavy or hot shoes (yeah, flip flops and ballerinas -and I mean real ballet shoes- aren't stylish for most, but they have to work). And that's a small guide how to look as odd as I do. What do you like?
I much prefer this positive kind of video, it feels more genuine to you and putting positivity out into the world rather than negativity! Loving your recent videos! Quick trend cycles are manufactured by and aiding the fast fashion industry. They deliberately make things go out of style so that people feel the need to buy more more more.
One thing I recommend is unsubscribing from all marketing emails. They’re designed to make you feel like you have to have them right now. Buy what you love and will love for a long time.
If I’m being honest following trends gave me a lot of anxiety this past year. Normally I love having a capsule wardrobe in mostly neutral tones. This past summer, after all the “hot girl summer” titles I felt the need to buy a lot of Shein clothes that I didn’t even really like. Now that I’ve decided to go back to my own style and just buy a couple great pieces that I will wear for years and years, I feel SO much better and my anxiety went away. I just feel excited to buy a few things here and there. While before it felt like I had to look like all the influencers, which made me feel like I was always running. Anyway, thank you for another great video!🥰
Its exhausting trying to keep up with trends with how fast they are going these days honestly. I feel like I purchase things that suddenly aren't trendy any more in a month or so. clear example: pleated skirts.
The "love at first sight" thing happened to me with sweater vests. They are adorable and i feel like a cute preppy young woman in a 90s rom-com when i wear it 🥺💕. Also 70s and 90s fashion. I love it.
Cowboy boots are classic depending on where you live. For example I’m from Texas so it’s weird to hear ppl talk about cowboy boots being trendy or that you can’t wear them when you’re old because cowboy boots are a staple here and it’s not weird or trendy to wear them for anyone. They’re just a normal boot to us lol. For someone who lives in Canada or NYC or London that’s completely different. But in the South cowboy boots are normal staples that have been for decades and apart of the culture.
Depends where in Canada in Alberta is basically the Texas if Canada (Saskatchewan does this too). Cowboys, cattle, horseback riding, farming ect. If you aren't in cowboy boots during stampede season during summer you get some looks
I almost didn’t click on this video because I thought it would be negative! I’m so glad this was the outcome. I love the direction your channel has been going and can’t wait to see more content!
i'm so inspired by your more masc outfits lately, I love how much you balance masculinity and femininity in your wardrobe. the preppy, oversized, sort of minimalist look is here to stay!!
The best thing about being over 40 is that you know what style works for you and you pick and choose bits of trends to add into your own personal stlye. I've never followed what others do anyway. I still pull out my 80s cropped biker leather evey so often. I was ahead of the trend this time around.
I want to start by saying that this is the first video of yours that I’ve ever watched but it showed up on my feed and I have to admit I fell for the title. I thought “here we go, let’s see in how many ways I’m dressing outdated” since I’m a millennial and all. But I was pleasantly surprised that was not the case and in fact I own many of those timeless pieces. My style and your style are nor similar at all but I was very impressed with your mindset and overall attitude about fashion. I’ve been seeing a lot of videos lately about this “feud” between Gen-Zs and millennials (I don’t have Tik-Tok so I didn’t know it was a thing) and I think it’s the most ridiculous thing ever. Style is such a personal thing so who can say what’s the right or wrong thing to wear. I really enjoyed watching your video and listening to your opinions on the subject, not just of fashion but on the fact that people love negative sounding videos, me included 😅and I’m glad I was wrong. Love your attitude and vibe! 😁✨ P.s. Im sorry if I assumed wrong that you’re a Gen z since you look so young. Also I want to point out that I don’t really care for these types of labels, I think there’s no reason for them but in the context of this video and my comment I used them 🤷🏻♀️😆
You keep doing you girl “think about who you’re following” such an important and needed message Thanks for cranking out fabulous and substantial content!
I think it's really great how you're mentioning items you've owned for years and still wear to this day. Buying secondhand isnt always an option for everyone so cherishing the things we do have and being a bit more conscious when we shop could make such a difference 😊
laini, you look SO GOOD with your hair like this, with this makeup, the gold jewelry and the white t-shirt. this outfit really makes you shine, i can't stop looking at you 😅
can I just say that you can rock absolutely ANY style because your confidence just radiates from your outfit! you can definitely see a difference between a trendy wardrobe and a wardrobe you love and style as your own. love from Singapore!
I have to agree, I loved the direction that you went in for this video. Thinking of trends turning into staples of people's wardrobe or just your own was pretty inspiring! ✨😊
Gurl I LOVE your content. You've gotta be one of the most humble, kind, self aware influencers out there which is soooo refreshing with all the garbage you see the filthy rich influencers doing nowadays lol thank you for being you :)
so funny with the doc martins bc where i live they were super trendy in like 2011-2015 and my friend did an exchange to the US for 1 year of high school around that time and she said people made fun of her wearing them there!! theyre as popular here anymore but i still love mine
I’m 33 and I bought my first cowboy boots in 2005. Since then I have bought more pairs and I think that’s it’s a classic piece indeed, that never goes out of fashion.
I love fashion but I just can't wear anything which is just "so trendy right now" but not my style, I just can't. I love your personal style so much and this video just made me realize that I've got influenced by you ;) I've recently bought a pair of longer jeans shorts and I just can't stop wearing it like seriously, like "where have you been my entire life"? ;)
i'm never able to follow any trends or find clothes that fit my aesthetic because they're either too expensive or they don't come in plus sizes :( i wish trends were more inclusive
Honestly, I just enjoy your videos so much. You have such a chill and nice energy to you and your view on fashion and style is the cherry on top. It’s okay to enjoy trends and it’s okay to dress different as well. As a young woman living in Berlin, Germany I remember feeling the urge to look like everybody else to be accepted until I found my own sense of style. And now I’m able to enjoy the diversity of fashion and have fun with different silhouettes and patterns and compliment strangers for their style. Fashion is such a unique and fun way to bond with other people and just express your view on life and yourself. Love you girl, keep up the good work!
this might be weird but i just cut my hair real short and I'm amazed at how you manage to slick all your hair back! do you have any tips or product recs?
Just found you in my recommendations and I absolutely love seeing someone with the same attitude towards fashion! For the last years I worked in the fashion industry and it alone (even without tiktok) is so incredibly fast paced that you sometimes forget about what is a sensible purchase and what is not. Really had to learn that during my time working there and you seem to be exceptional at it too ☺️On a good way to become my favorite fashion RU-vid tbh
Honestly I’ve always wanted (and still want) a pair of sock sneakers. It doesnt have to be balenciaga, I just think the shape is really cute and flattering. Especially since my favorite boot style is the ankle sock ones lol Sad to see ppl think its not in trend anymore 😅
laini I just wanted to say thank u!!! you’ve really made me look at what clothes n pieces I genuinely like and make me feel fun instead of what is “in” for a particular time. you’ve been so helpful to watch n listen to as I’m experimenting w different styles that will make me feel more me! something as small as realizing that I like how i look in cowboy boots makes it easier to figure out what my type of style is n to overall feel more confident❤️
For me a classic will be my crazy print pants, I am sure people will think I'm outdated when I will wear my swirly pants in 5 years but I feel like my true self in them
I remember when someone called my Docs “clown shoes” when I was in 7th grade. I still wear them 10 years later. If you love it and it’s a quality piece, more than likely it’s your staple.
Never watched you before but I am so glad your clickbait worked bc what an awesome topic!! My mom taught me to hate trends growing up and thus anything trendy but now I’m learning more about fashion and realizing just because somethings trendy doesn’t mean I have to pretend it isn’t cute🤪 but still trying to learn how to build a timeless wardrobe!
Make more videos like this. I really enjoy watching you find your personal style as woman coming into her own and deciding what she likes. Much more interesting than other youtubers gen z style analysis!!! Thumbs up
omg I love it, its so inspirational to watch an influencer cause you really are baby talking with so honesty about it and girl you have a new suscriber now. love u
I started being more confident about choice when i realised the difference between "drip/trendy" (which is what popular "cool kids" are wearing) and fashion (that is offered to u twice an year by brands n designers) and STYLE!! which is how u choose to express yourself by using clothing and accessories!
could you recommend some fashion influencers that have kind of the same vibe like you? I mean that they have some more unique styling ideas and are underrated
I’m happy to say I hardly ever followed any trends. I buy clothes that appeals to me not just cause they’re in. I think there’s only one trend I went by was the ugg boots and the north face jackets back in high school 😂😂 but after that, I dress what matches my personality. It saves me putting stress on myself cause social media is too much to even keep up with. I hope everyone else can get to that level.
honestly ive been focusing more on wearing clothes that suit me rather than trends. For example I was trying to do the whole big oversized high waisted jeans with a small cropped baby top and it just did NOT suit me. I have very long legs and a shorter torso, high waisted jeans make your torso look shorter and legs longer, crop tops also make your torso look shorter. This look can be very flattering on a lot of people, but on me it looks wrong. I had to admit to myself that high waisted jeans just don't make me feel good and they dont look good on me despite being trendy especially with my generation. So I started wearing mid rise skinny jeans again and they look so much better, I also don't wear as many crop tops and rather I wear bodysuits (although some crop tops look fine, the jeans are what make the difference). So mid rise skinny jeans and bodysuits, probably not the most trendy things with my age group but they look the best on me with my tall and thin frame. thats just one example but yeah, i think its good to focus on what you actually feel best in rather than what looks good on other people.
Thank you for this amazing video! And I loved the little "rant" at the end of the video. I totally agree and feel like I'm mostly blind to these influencers, so this kinda opened my eyes :)
I invested in a really nice wool trench coat over Christmas holiday. I also I haven’t bought a single piece of clothing all summer and I’m feeling great about that. For the planet and for me.
