I just dropped a new video that talks about the key 2024 fashion trends and predicted whether they'll last beyond 2025! Love how passionate you all are in the comment section-keen to know your thoughts on the new video (even if you disagree with me!) 😂 x ua-cam.com/video/perr7ud9dEo/v-deo.htmlsi=DE7wWQ3fZyFTpV_K
Thanks for your comment, Beatriz! Don’t worry-even if crochet falls out of the main trend in 2022, they’ll always have a place in summer fashion, especially as an accent piece or for layering! So amazing you make them yourself-keep going! xx
personally i think crochet is timeless- saying its a trend is like saying knitwear is a trend. I think when most people think of crochet as a trend, its def the specific microtrend items like that one striped dress or the checkered totes that were big but crochet def can be made timeless!
@@kylier7126 Good point, Kylie! I reckon crochet will always have a place in fashion but compared to knitwear or denim, which are evergreen fashion items, crochet’s appeal is quite niche. So once it falls out of the main trend, you probably won’t see the general public wearing much of it. But it’s all about how you wear it-if you’re not consuming crochet pieces just because the avant-basic aesthetic is trendy (which I think will eventually be phased out) and you’re injecting your personal style when you wear it, crochet items could be timeless. 💖
I low key dislike it when the things I usually like become a trend because I’m afraid that people and the media will keep talking and wearing tf out of it to the point people will see it as outdated very quickly 💀 I mean I’d still wear whatever I want but like still
THIS! 👏🏼 I completely agree-it’s so annoying when the things you’ve liked for literally your whole life get hyped by the media and influencers to a point where they become a trend. It’s problematic because the mass flocks to consume them only because they’re trendy. 🥲
This is even worse for fashion that is part of broader subcultures (especially POC ones) because they attempt to dilute much of the meaning of the original pieces when they usually have a lot of significance.
@@danic2514 Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Dani! I couldn't agree more-some trends are problematic imo e.g. fox eye makeup, the qipao trend, indigenous fashion... to name a few! Do you think it'd be worthwhile for me to do a deep-dive on this issue? x
@@danic2514 Absolutely! Good and thorough research is a must for that topic. It'd be an amazing video to make because I feel like in the process of research, I'll learn a lot personally. Thanks so much for the feedback! x
any piece of clothing you genuinely love will be timeless for you. trends are not the dress code, consider it a source of inspiration. wear whatever you feel comfortable in, wear whatever flatters your body, wear whatever your heart desires!
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Brigitte! I couldn’t agree more-any item of clothing can be timeless if you want it to be as long as it reflects your personal style! The whole point of the video is to get people to think a bit more before blindly following and buying into a trend. So glad your idea aligns with the video’s key message xx
I feel like what people classify as trendy vs timeless depends on your own personal life. For example, I'm not focused on looking classic and put together. I'm dressing how I feel best expresses me and whether that's with wearing chunky loafers with a tennis skirt. Or, wearing overalls with a mushroom sweater. Granted, I'm not saying that I support people buying microtrends to only wear it once and never to touch it again. I am saying that we should stop looking at the term of having a timeless style as a monolith. Having a timeless style shouldn't be about only wearing neutrals and basics. It should be about what colors look best on you and not colors that the world says is an essential. Wearing prints and patterns that make you the individual feel happy. I feel like we also need to embrace experimenting with fashion a bit more. Yes, overconsumption is a problem. But, we shouldn't be shooing away from people who want to try something new. And, hey maybe it didn't work for them but it brought them one step closer on finding out their own unqiue style. I've rambled for a long bit here. But, overall good video and you made some interesting points even though I disagreed with a lot of them.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts-lots of great points there! 👍 The key message of this video is to get people to think a bit more before they buy into a trend. My main concern is not only overconsumption, but also overproduction. Too many trends/microtrends have been created by major players of the industry and popularised by influencers to make money. But they’re often Eurocentric and not very inclusive. We’re definitely aligned on the idea of encouraging people to experiment with fashion. As I mentioned in the video, I believe fashion is a means to express and affirm one’s identity, especially for some LGBTQI+ and PoC communities. It sounds like you’ve got your personal style on lock, which is totally amazing! But there are also lots of people that haven’t developed their sense of style and are constantly looking for guidance. I was one of those people that didn’t understand what I really liked. Looking back at my late teens and throughout my 20s, I unfortunately contributed to the overconsumption/overproduction cycle. I bought what magazines told me to buy and what celebs were wearing (before the days of influencers lol). I wish I didn’t rush into getting a bunch of trendy items for the sake of fitting in. Tons of 90s low-waisted jeans, Y2K tops and platform shoes have been discarded. 😞 The advice I had in this video might be playing it too safe for some, but I feel like I need to act responsibly, especially for people that are still trying to figure out what they like. I totally agree when you said “timeless style shouldn't only be about wearing neutrals and basics”. But for a person that has just started their journey on exploring their fashion style, I reckon it’s best to take things slowly. Not saying you should never buy a bold item or a trend piece-but if you’re not sure what to get, it’s good to start building your wardrobe with basic essentials and gradually add pops of colour/statement pieces that aligns with your personal taste as you develop it. Thanks for showing me a different point of view. Even though our style might differ, I actually think our core values align-fashion is what you make of it. If it represents who you are, keep rocking what that make you feel good. Anything can be timeless if you want it to be! 🥰
@@anniexuan Love this, Amie! Thanks so much for sharing. 💖 Absolutely agree-say the fringe trend, it's at the heart of the hippie culture but it's going to be a massive trend in 2022 (which I'll be covering in the next video I just shot)! I don't have a problem with designers borrowing visual cues of an aesthetic to create a brand new piece of garment but it does feel sometimes that these 'trends' or 'microtrends', which to some, are actually their way of life and part of the culture for decades, have been overhyped on social media to drive consumerism. Do you think this is a topic that's worth doing a deep dive on? x
We should move away as a society from trends and people should reflect their personal style on their personality and what they like . Trends come across as trashy and tacky most of the time
exactly. for example most people would see baby blues and pastel purples as trends but they're my favorite colors + esp. blue fits my complexion the best so i'm just filling my wardrobe with purples and blues. also makes it easier to style as i can just put on a few different shades of blue on for an easy fashionable look
@@jessesotheysay Couldn’t agree more! As a society, we should think a bit more before jumping onto every trend under the sun. We should consider what actually reflects our personalities and what makes us feel confident and comfortable in the long run. I do understand it takes time and experience to develop a sense of style. A lot of young people are impressionable and the overhyping on social media is not helping… 😓
As a teen, I think you shouldn't feel like you have to stick to one style for the rest of your life and decide it(as a teen) but I think it is important to think about what you have and how you can reuse as your style changes. What will you likely still want when you are older and what can you repurpose? Think before you buy. Also, I agree with knee-high boots, I am currently not a fan but there is no denying that they are here to stay. Classic for sure.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Colette! I completely agree-as a person in their 30s, my personal styles went through so many phases since my teens when I started being interested in fashion. Your body, preference and lifestyle will undoubtedly evolve as you get older and when you accumulate new experiences. What I thought I'd love for the rest of my life when I was 20 is totally not what I want right now. It's all about slowing down and being a little more considered before buying into a trend. 🥰
Thanks so much for your comment, Anuska! Fashion trends are cyclical-no doubt wedges will come back in fashion but I personally don’t think it’s a timeless shoe. The silhouette of a wedge is quite hefty and tends to date very quickly, especially when it’s paired with specific textures, say espadrille or cork. For a more timeless alternative that’s more comfortable than stilettos, I’d suggest simple block heel sandals. The shape is much sleeker and has a more neutral look-you’ll get so much wear out of them ❤️
i personally can't wear wedge heels (anymore) because for some reason they (along with slingbacks--usually these two go hand in hand) make me stumble, then fall...oof. Too many skinned knees and twisted ankles, sigh.
@@susanma4899 Wedge heels do take a bit of practice to balance on! I reckon platform sneakers or loafers could be a great alternative that provides a bit more stability and still elongates your silhouette! 🥰
@@poojaalexaupadhaya6681 Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Alexa! I think it really depends on the texture of the heel-platforms are coming back in a big way in 2022! I talked about this trend in my new trend analysis video. I'd love to hear your thoughts (even if you disagree with me!) ua-cam.com/video/4fKZ-zuWZ-Y/v-deo.html ❤
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Sydney! Yeah I think tennis skirts aren’t the issue, it’s the way they’ve been overhyped on social media that’s causing a lot of overconsumption and overproduction. If they reflect your personal style and you aren’t discarding them as soon as they fall out of the main trend, keep rocking them! YOU are what makes them timeless ❤️
I feel like what is trendy v timeless also depends where you live and on the culture(s) within the area. I’m a POC and recently moved to Wollongong, Australia. This beachside coastal city, (which is predominantly White) tend to favour short dresses, gym attire, leggings, crop tops, jeans, patterns and white sneakers. However when I used to live in the western suburbs of Sydney (which have large densities of POC), the main pieces of clothing you’d see were trackies, mostly black items, longer dresses, hoodies and sweats, and slides, or Nike Air Jordan’s. Living in two different areas has made me realise that I am also influenced by those around me without even realising it. It was so easy to switch styles or buy particular items when they are the only thing you see around you / compared to what you see online. Thank god I’ve developed my own sense of style since this epiphany 😂
LOVE this-thanks so much for sharing your observation, Namida! It’s fascinating to see how locations/cultures affect the way we dress, especially from a fellow PoC’s perspective! Here in Auckland, we also have ‘uniforms’ that stereotypically represent certain areas or subcultures. As a child of immigrant parents, the way I dressed in my teens, even through uni, was heavily influenced by those around me because I spent so much energy trying to fit in. It took me a looooong time to find my personal style! But we all have to go through our own unique journey to further define our identity/get comfortable with the way we look and I’m so glad you’ve found your personal sense of style that you’re not going to waver from! ❤️
Oh hey another fellow person-from-the-general-Sydney-area! Honestly I never really thought about it in depth until now, and thinking of the different Sydney areas that I frequent the most, it's so true how different the fashion can depend on geography and the people in the area. You've already gone into detail with Western Sydney so I'll skip lol. The Northern Beaches (which is predominantly white) has a lot of flowy, surfer, and vsco girl styles of fashion, and also a lot of the stuff you mentioned about Wollongong. I can't really pinpoint specific styles in the Inner West (which comparatively, is significantly more diverse to coastal suburbs), because it really depends from suburb to suburb. Like if you're closer to the CBD e.g. Newtown or Glebe, you can find more alternative styles like punk, lolita, and also preppy styles. But if you go further towards western suburbs, you start to see more of the casual, streetwear types of styles, some of which you mentioned. Honestly it's incredibly interesting, and it's also made me think how much influence my environment had on my style, because I feel that I stick out like a sore thumb whenever I visit the Northern Beaches and I find it kinda funny lmao.
@@CursedThulium Wow this is incredible! Thanks so much for sharing in depth about what the different fashion styles are like in Sydney. So eye-opening and interesting to people in different areas dressing a certain way that represents a particular subculture that specifically belongs to a suburb. Keep rocking your style at the Northern Beaches, Izzy! x
@@CursedThulium exactly haha! It’s so interesting. I think other factors such as the type of lifestyle have a lot to do with it too (I.e. somehow living on the beach makes you want to go to gym 24/7 and be more active lol). And you’re so right about feeling like you’re the only one in a specific area standing out in the clothes you wear because it’s so different to the ‘norm’ around you.
I personally think skinny jeans are timeless, I love the way they make me look and feel, but I feel like they only go with so many outfits, some outfits look so much more aesthetic is you put on baggier pants but nevertheless, I still love them.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! The point of the video is to get people to think a bit more before they buy into a fashion trend to minimise overconsumption. If you're blessed with the body type that looks fantastic in skinny jeans or whatever makes you feel good, keep rocking them! Anything can be timeless as long as it represents your personal style! x
3:57 I really like how you talked about the importance of fashion in poc and queer people. As someone who is A South East Asian lesbian I use fashion as an outlet of expression specifically more on jewelry since I know how to make my own (one day I’ll relearn sewing!). I’m very particular with accesories as I tend to make queer coded ones (I.e using the colors of my flags to using the words on a bracelet). I want to also use pearls and my culture’s fashion more as they help me be more one with my roots, since I’ve lived there my whole life I might as well give it tribute of sorts even if it’s in fashion.
Thanks so much for sharing your fashion journey from a queer PoC perspective! 🥰 Trends are often determined by the major players in the industry-they lack representations from minority communities. I think it’s so important to keep having these conversations. There are so many talented artists in the PoC and LGBTQI+ communities like yourself that deserve way more hype! 🔥 Do you think I should make a video to do a deep dive on this topic?
@@vikkipedia_org yes I think you should do a deep dive of that topic since it can bring awareness and insight to the fashion industry from a minority/ marginalized pov, you can even have guest creators or people who can talk about their experiences with fashion and their self expression with it!
That sounds like a GREAT idea! Thank you so much! It'd be amazing to invest guests to chat about the topic on my channel. I'd love to do a deep dive on the topic-I feel like it needs more awareness and I'd love to have an open discussion with the UA-cam community! 🥰
I'm curious, how do you incorporate your cultures fashion? The traditional prints of my cultural clothing and even modern interpretations are only available in my country. Unless you do some haul every time you visit your country how would you incorporate it to your modern wardrobe?
@@Айбекдж That’s such an interesting question. Thanks so much for asking! ❤ Here in New Zealand, a lot of Māori fashion designers have incorporated traditional weaving techniques into their creations, or brought in visual cues like traditional motifs and patterns that beautifully pay tribute to their culture, but also extremely wearable for the everyday. Incorporating cultural motifs should be done by designers that carry the heritage of that specific culture. It should be done with a lot of care and respect-not bastardised by the popular culture. I actually think it’s a positive thing that the traditional prints/patterns of your cultural clothing are only available in your country because it minimises the chance of other people using it in the wrong way!
I actually disagree with the leg warmers. I don't know for other people, but I remember I really wanted a pair and I still wear them to dance or even outside with a skirt. If people stop wearing them I would still do I don't really care. They're a way to keep your legs warm + they're practical for sports like ballet, dance and really a lot more. In my opinion they're timeless.(at least for me :))
Thanks for sharing your love for leg warmers! Absolutely keep rocking them because they reflect your personal style! The whole point of this video is to get people thinking a bit more before buying into a trend to minimise overconsumption. If you keep wearing them beyond the trend, you’ve already made them timeless! ❤️🙌🏻
I totally agree with you about the leg warmers being more of a timeless piece. There’ve been worn for ages in different ways, even in different cultures and time periods, but always for the same reason, to protect/warm the leg. I also love how much they are part of the code of a dancer’s dress code. Not easy to dance with long pants so I see how it could’ve gotten started as a ‘thing.’ Absolutely love leg warmers and I think they’re coming back as ‘trendy’ now but they’ve been a forever thing, along with knee highs socks. :)
@@washingtonskies8698 Thanks so much for sharing! So interesting to hear a different perspective from a different culture. ❤Completely agree re: the whole 'trendy' thing-the problem is not leg warmers themselves, but the overhyping on social media that causes overconsumption!
@@lovegoodss6162 Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Absolutely-timelessness is subjective. Whilst a lot of people are jumping on the leg warmer trend because of the overhyping on social media, if you've been wearing the same item for the last 20 years, YOU have made them timeless for YOU! 💖
I disagree partially with the low rise jeans being trendy. In the past (especially 90s- early 2000s) it was a way to make your figure the staement peice rather than introduce an inspiring outfit, but with the body positivity and body neutrality movement on the rise I believe they could become a statement peice used to make any outfit personal. They also make lovely sihlouettes with any top in my opinion. Overall, they have the potential to become a wardrobe essential.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Sidney. ❤️ I think the low rise silhouette itself isn’t the problem-the way they’re made popular is. Fashion trends are often created and then popularised by the major players of the industry and therefore could be problematic because some of them are Eurocentric and not very inclusive. When I did my research for this video, it occurred to me that majority of the women representing the low rise trend, both in the 90s/early 2000s and nowadays on social media, are white and thin. I’d love to other representation with more PoC in other shape and sizes rock this silhouette-but it just isn’t happening enough. 😭
I disagree with tennis skirts though. I‘ve been wearing them since 2012 as a kpop-obsessed teenager (which is when this trend started) & these babies are still in my wardrobe in 2022. They look way more flattering and slimming than skater skirts or pencil skirts and they are the perfect middle ground between „casual“ and „put together“. My summer staples since years
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Yayen! Completely agree-the problem isn't the tennis skirt itself, but the overhyping on TikTok/social media which caused the overconsumption. If it represents your personal style and you're not buying it for the sake of wearing a trend, keep rocking the tennis skirt! YOU are what makes it timeless! ❤️
unpopular opinion but I love skinny jeans! I'm a pear shape so they flatter my body type but I find myself gravitating towards my straight leg, boot cut and low rise jeans due to my current style. However I've kept my favorite pair of skinny jeans so when they come back I'm ready !! It's funny I used to refuse to wear my old jeans and only wore skinny jeans and now I prefer my older jeans
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Alexandria! Your opinion is not unpopular at all-seems like a lot of people in the comment section still love skinny jeans, which is fantastic because it means you'll keep wearing them even if they aren't trendy (which means we can minimise the problem of overconsumption/overproduction)! The whole point of the video is to make people think a bit more before they buy into a trend. If the cutting suits your silhouette, absolutely keep rocking them! You can make anything timeless as long as it represents your personal style! x
@@writteninstars Thanks for sharing your perspective! Nothing wrong with skinny jeans if other's look good in them but I have the same body type as you, which is why I feel straight/wide leg jeans work better for people like us. 🥰
Yes I’m glad the wider, more comfortable cutting is here to stay! The extremely loose-fitted style might not last forever but regular to wide leg should be a pretty safe investment! 🥰
90’s baby and Latina here and skinny jeans are absolutely amazing I love how it just looks on my body and my curves. But I agreed with everything else.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Nekita! Gosh I wish I have the curves to rock some skinny jeans but my body type can’t pull that silhouette 🥲 Keep rocking them-you’ll make them timeless because they reflect your personal styles! 🥰❤️
LOVE this video & your commentary on this subject! I would say 12:58 is the only point I really disagree with, because even though it’s very casual, I think this look is referential of a classic 80s / 90s look and the silhouette of a crew neck + tennis skirt whether worn together or styled separately will never go out of style. It’s a great easy-to-style look that is flattering on just about every body type.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Hannah! Means a lot to me that you enjoyed the video. 💖 The reason why I think the 80s/90s look of a crew neck + tennis skirt is trendy has everything to do with influencer marketing and TikTok. This style was massive when I was growing up (showing my age as an old millennial lol) but it completely died down for almost a decade. It gained popularity again in 2020-2021 through influencer marketing and therefore I feel like the hype could subside quite quickly as fashion trends tend to be cyclical. However, I think it’s a great look and it is flattering on most body types. Keep rocking this style if you love it and if it represents your aesthetic-anything can be timeless if you want it to be! 🥰
something my grandma always said that i live by is that trends come and go but you find your own style by picking and choosing the ones you like and sticking with them
reminder that just because things fall out of trend doesn’t mean you have to stop wearing and loving the things that you wear even if they’re not “trendy”.
I LOVE THIS! Thanks so much for sharing. I totally agree-the key message of the video is to get people to think a bit more before they buy into a trend so they can keep wearing an item because it truly represents their personal styles. If you love something, keep rocking it! YOU are what makes it timeless! x
My personal style ranges from dark/light/romantic academia to k-fashion, so I consider the tennis skirt a staple in my closet. I usually choose neutral colors to make them more versatile. 😊
Thanks so much for sharing your aesthetic, Tammy! Love your idea of getting a trend piece, but in a neutral colour to make it more versatile and long-lasting. I reckon that's the best way to go when you're on the journey of exploring your personal style! Taking it slow and getting more neutral pieces to begin with will minimise the consumption. ❤️
I think for me as a South African they remind me too much of a school uniform especially if they're plaid. Same with chunky loafers, they looked too much like school shoes we are forced to wear from like 7 to 18 years old you know. I think if you haven't worn a uniform all your life maybe its different but yeah.
@@mariankeen8591 Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Marian! What an interesting take! I totally feel you-some of the current trends are like a homage to our school years and I personally don't feel like I have to go through it again lol... But I do think some elements are cute as long as they're not overdone. Btw, I've just uploaded a new 2022 trend analysis video-would love to hear your thoughts (even if you disagree with me!) ua-cam.com/video/4fKZ-zuWZ-Y/v-deo.html ❤
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Lina! I couldn’t agree more! The whole point of this video is to get people to think a bit more before they buy into a trend to minimise overconsumption. But if a trend item reflects your personal style and you’re not discarding it as soon as it falls out of fashion, you can make literally anything timeless! ❤️
texas girl here. i know you said cowboy boots are too trendy BUT they never go out of style here. i have happily invested in a nice pair and will be wearing them to the ground because that's what texans do ;).
Ohhhh thanks for sharing your Texan style, Riley! It’s lovely to see people from all corners of the world sharing their personal styles and what they enjoy wearing! If cowboy boots suit your personal style, keep wearing them! You can make anything timeless if you want it to be xx
This is why I’m happy to live in France and not have to deal with this. Classic style is always best and trendy is not good for many reasons as it creates wasteful habits instead of investing in timeless pieces to last years.
Awww Lauren that's soooo cool how you're living in France. Trend cycles are changing way too quick-I think a place like France would be amazing to live in because it's almost immune to trends and everyone's just wearing classic, timeless pieces! Do people all look effortless chic (like how I'd imagine them)? I'd loooove to know! x
@@vikkipedia_org Yes, we stay by the neutrals and add nice jewelry to enhance the expression. Some people love designer items but not big logos as it shows to the other you try hard to be noticed. It is priority to present as elegant always .
France literally sounds like a fashion paradise-I love how people don't care about trends and they just stick to whatever suits their personal style. It must be lovely to have literally no pressure to chase trends! 🥰
@Nyameiji Thanks for sharing your observation, Nyameiji! It's thought-provoking to see how there's a generational divide when in comes to fashion styles, even in France! Do you reckon it'd be interesting if I do a deep dive on this topic?
Totally agree, Hanna! Such a great point-crochet as a handicraft will always have a place in fashion. Crochet accessories can add a nice touch to an outfit even if the avant-basic look falls out of the main trend 🥰
@@gabby1304_ Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Gabrielle! Absolutely agree-crochet as a handicraft is timeless, much like knitwear. It's the avant-basic crochet aesthetic that has been completely overhyped on social media that I find problematic, as it created a wave of overconsumption. If crochet is true to your personal style and you're not going to discard the items when they fall out of trend, keep rocking them! YOU are what makes them timeless! x
I think it's actually really good to have strong distinctive elements like zebra prints or cowboy boots in your wardrobe *but only if you're willing to commit to them.* If you like a distinctive item enough to wear it in the long term it stops being a trend thing and starts being part of what makes your wardrobe unique! This is what I've done with a lot of offbeat or distinctive items such as my leather choker and my cloak.
LOVE your approach! 🥰 Thank you so much for sharing! I absolutely agree-the key thing is to be willing to commit to a certain aesthetic and not just discarding the item once it falls out of trend. If something truly represents your personal style, it doesn't matter what the trend is. YOU are what makes it timeless! x
IMO: if you feel comfortable and confidant in an outfit, its well fitting, and compliments your figure, it does not matter if its trendy or timeless or even out of style.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Gabriella! I absolutely agree-the point of the video is to get people to think a bit more before they buy into a trend to avoid overconsumption. If an item reflects your personal style and you're not going to discard it as soon as the trend is over, I'd say keep rocking it! YOU are what makes it timeless! x
I agree with almost everything you've said but, I'm going to disagree on the cowboy boot trend. I believe that it's a timeless wardrobe staple if it's in a neutral color and has minimalist details. I also believe that the context in where and how they're worn is also important too. That's also not mentioning they're practical uses in the daily lives of farmers or other trades.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Madison! Couldn't agree more-cowboy boots will always be a utilitarian fashion item on farms and certain trades. What I have an issue with weren't cowboy boots, but they way they've been overhyped on social media and the overconsumption as a result. But if it suits your personal style and you're not discarding them as soon as the trend cools down, keep rocking them! YOU are the reason why they'll be timeless! ❤️
It'll always be timeless if it's genuinely your style. I've been wearing skinny jeans for like 13 years now, I'm not gonna stop cause it's "out of style" same with cowboy boots, mini skirts, and bucket hats. Just because they're in now doesn't mean some people weren't wearing them before and won't be wearing them after
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Aly! The whole point of this video is to make people think a bit more before they buy into a trend to slow down trend cycles, overproduction and overconsumption. Sounds like you've got your personal style on lock, which is fantastic! If cowboy boots, skinny jeans or whatever you like represents who you are, absolutely keep rocking them. I agree-anything can be timeless as long as it represents your personal style! ❤️
Cowboy boots are timeless, babe! Been around for as long as fashion has been around! They go out of season from time to time due to weather, but they come back yearly for decades!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Kayla! I can definitely see how cowboy boots will remain an important part of country fashion even if they fall out of the main trend. ❤️ It’s just that cowboy boots have been overhyped on social media for the last year or two and people have been wearing them in a trendy, non-sustainable way. It’d be great if they try out the cowboy boots trend through thrifting but unfortunately, cheap, synthetic, mass-produced ones have flooded the market as an answer to the hype… 😓
Yes skinny jeans work great if a person has long legs because they’ll always pull the waistline down visually. It also depends on the way they’re styled-but regular to high rise is always a safe choice for most figures.
I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers! This is such a well put together, entertaining, and informative video. One of my life long loves is fashion and I’ve recently been relying less on trends to navigate my sense of fashion and sticking to staples I love plus some incorporations of trends. And I’ve also been getting a lot of fashion inspo from tiktok that has been pushing my investment into statement pieces and my love of all things strange and girly lol. In the end tho my favorite thing to see in someones fashion is a honest look into who they are, it’s so magical to see how people paint themselves ✨
Aw thanks so much for sharing-I love the way you approach fashion! It took me forever to figure out what my personal style is and what I’m genuinely comfortable with wearing! I love seeing people rocking clothes that represent their identity because they look confident and radiant, no matter what age, gender or race they are! I completely agree with you-fashion is not only getting dress, it’s a means of self-expression! You comment has made my day! It gives me the fire in my belly to keep going and putting out more videos. I’ve actually in the process of editing a new 2022 trend analysis video-can’t wait to share it with you! ❤️
@@vikkipedia_org Thanks for the reply! I immediately noticed your interaction with the comments under the video and it warms my heart to see such a genuine creator. Keep that fire lit girl, you have a lot to offer. I can’t wait to see what you do next! ✨
This popped up in my recommended and I couldn't agree more with the blazers! I think boxier blazers are more timeless because they accommodate for more body types and sizes and overall silhouettes in outfits! I also love your playful presentation throughout the video!
Aw thanks for the lovely comment, Edie! I'm so glad you found the video and enjoyed my sense of humour haha... This gives me the fire in my belly-can't wait to make more videos and share them with you! x
Hi Edie! Sorry I just noticed I haven’t acknowledged your last reply! How’s your UA-cam journey coming along? I think you should totally try making video in this format! It’s so fun and I’m really grateful that you were inspired by my previous Trendy vs Timeless video. I’ve been on a UA-cam hiatus but I’m back with a new Trendy v Timeless Pt. 2 video! Hope you can check it out coz I’d love to hear your thoughts! 🫶 ua-cam.com/video/perr7ud9dEo/v-deo.html
Awww thanks so much for your lovely comment-it means a lot to me that you enjoyed the video! Cowboy boots will definitely always have a place in fashion whether it's in the main trend or not-definitely good to invest in a quality pair in neutral colours! 😍 I'm actually in the process of making a new 2022 trend analysis video and I'll be breaking down all the upcoming trends and giving tips on how to style them-can't wait to share with you! x
I feel like you’re basing a lot of of your timeless or trendy decisions based on your style which is very classy. Ironically I agreee with everything you said
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Jackie! The whole point of this video is to make people think a bit more before they buy into a trend to minimise overconsumption. If something reflects your personal style, you should keep wearing them! YOU are what makes something timeless! ❤️🥰🙌🏻
Yay I'm so glad you found the video useful! Means a lot to me-thank you! 😍I'm putting together a new 2022 trend analysis video! Can't wait to show you! x
I’m learning to crochet my own tops, so you better BELIEVE I won’t give a shit if it’s on trend when I finally make one 😂 WEAR WHAT YOU LIKE. TRENDS ARE A CONSTRUCT
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Geneva! Couldn’t agree more! The whole point of this video is not to get people to agree with my suggestions, but to think a bit more before buying into a trend to minimise overconsumption. The issue I have isn’t crochet itself as a handicraft, but the avant-basic crochet pieces that are completely overhyped by social media. If crochet represents your personal style and you’re not discarding your crochet items as soon as they are out of trend, keep rocking them! Good luck on your crochet journey-love how you’re making your own pieces! ❤️👏🏼
I love this video! It’s so true, it’s inspiration overstimulation, which leads me to retreat to a neutral palette and think I need to focus on a capsule wardrobe. Which, isn’t actually me, although I admire refined a textured, neutral look! I love maximalism in every way but I get thrifting vibes (and not in a good way!) really quickly when I try to put a creative outfit together. As style and trends are revolving at such a rapid rate, it’s a fun time to get dressed, and I’ve decided to invest more in things like classic bags and shoes, and button downs that can be worn multiple ways, so no matter what I’m wearing, at least something feels grounded in myself. Fashion is so fun but it can be all-consuming on many levels, and its an amazing feeling when you kind of find your vibe :-)
Thank you so much for your thought-provoking comment! I couldn’t agree more-fashion is supposed to be fun and ideally we should be able to regularly change up our outfits to match how we feel on the day. But lately I’m feeling the stress because of how fast trend cycles are moving. It just seem like things will become out of trend after a couple of wears. I love your idea of thrifting-I reckon it’s the way to go if you want to achieve the maximalist aesthetic without buying new pieces all the time! Speaking of maximalism, I’m actually putting together a new video to talk about the trends of 2022 and how I would style them (and spoiler alert: maximalism is going to be huge in 2022!) Can’t wait to share with you! 🥰 P.S. Love the idea of a capsule wardrobe. Would you be interested in a video about that?
Thanks so much for your comment, T! I definitely think there are styles that are more timeless than others and the whole point is to get people to slow down and think more about their purchases. So glad you enjoyed the video! I’m putting a new 2022 trend analysis video together-can’t wait to share with you 🥰
Awww thank you so much for your words of encouragement! Means a lot to me. I’m going to pick UA-cam back up with a ‘how to find your personal style’ video. Doing a lot of research and planning now-can’t wait to share with you x
Awww Myriam thank you so much for your lovely comment! It seriously made my day! I'm actually making a new 2022 trend analysis video-can't wait to share that with you! x
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Starcie! I think crochet can definitely be timeless as long as the piece is not created to blindly follow the avant-basic trend, as I think that would get phased out. I've always associated crochet to be more of a summer trend because of the tiny crop tops and crochet overthrow dresses. I definitely overlooked crochet accessories like scarves and beanies for winter-great thinking! x
Aww thank you so much Zandile! Means a lot to me that you enjoyed the video! I just uploaded a new 2022 trend analysis. Would love to hear your thoughts and see which trend is your favourite (or least favourite 😂) ua-cam.com/video/4fKZ-zuWZ-Y/v-deo.html ❤️
I personally will invest to leather blazer (as long as you can create your own personal aesthetic or let say your own fashion approachment, it can be a timeless pieces an of course not a trend) 😁 *btw sist, your accent are so cute* *and pardon for my english 😅*
Thanks for your comment, Dary! I love leather blazers too. I reckon as long as they're not super distinctive, they shouldn't date too quickly. I totally agree-as long as you can create your personal style and make sure pieces aren't just worn a handful of times before you discard them, anything can be timeless as long as you make it! Aw that's lovely of you-I know my accent isn't the easiest to understand so your cute comment is greatly appreciated! Btw, your English is great! 💖
Specific pieces are going viral because brand are sending them to a bunch of influencers at the same time and then all of them are posting in them but by the time regular people orders one (real or dupe) it’s not cool anymore
Thanks so much for sharing, Paige! That's so true! ❤️ The whole trend cycle is driven by brands creating these 'viral' pieces, amplified by the influencers to create demand. By the time we all jump on the bandwagon, more 'cool' things will pop up... It's a never-ending consumerism cycle and it's tiresome to keep following!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Angela! Leg warmers are mega cute-they are a trend item and pretty seasonal but I think you can get a lot of wear out of them this winter as the trend isn't going anywhere yet! I'm putting together a new 2022 trend analysis video right now-can't wait to share with you! ❤️
Im a super fan of avant basic or the colorful childish look of 2021(idk whats it called) but i cant always pull them off and felt like I can only wear them on conventions like cosplay or something
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Avant Basic is a great aesthetic! Are you talking about the kidcore look? Of you want to participate in the trend without looking too much like a dress-up, you can always invest in one or two statement pieces like a crochet top or a colourful knitted cardigan, so you're not overdoing it but it still looks amazing! x
I love them too, omg. I have aways loved colorful and "odd" looking fashion. As well as "childish" clothes/styles. I wish I had the money to buy clothes like that though.
Yay thank you so much for your lovely comment, Cindy! Means a lot to me that you enjoyed the video. I’m putting together a new 2022 trend analysis video-can’t wait to share with you ❤️🥰
This video means so much to me, because for a long time, I didn't have money to be trendy, the second I got money, I was obsessed with these Tik Tok Trends, and they were way too hard to follow. Especially being in Australia. By the time the clothes even got here, there was a new trend. I wasted so much money, I wish someone had told me to shop more sustainably. Undoing the habits took forever.
Awww thank you so much for sharing your story, Rubi Doo! It means a lot to me that you understand the message I was trying to get across. It really doesn't matter what you like as long as it reflects your personal style. The issue is never the fashion item itself, but the overhyped trends being popularised by social media, which caused a lot of overconsumption (and a lot of fashion anxiety as we all struggle to keep up!) There's absolutely nothing wrong to get a piece or two to treat yourself and make you feel good. It's just about being slower and more considered before we buy into a trend. It took me ages to recaliberate my shopping habits and having conversations like this with you reminds me what's important when it comes to my fashion choices. Thank you! x ❤️
@@vikkipedia_org You're so lovely for saying all that, it really does make me feel so much better about going on a more sustainable journey! Keep making incredible videos, you earned a subscriber with your insight!
Don't come after my wedges! 😂 They're on break right now because it's cold, but they will be back haha. Birkenstock makes surprisingly fashionable wedges. Also, when you live in a cowtown, cow print is life, not trendy. Same with cowboy boots. Also, I really want to experiment with sheer tights and strappy heels, but it's so anathema in my family I haven't been able to yet. I have, however started **mixing colors** in an outfit, which is like a fashion revolution in my family. My grandma's outfits are literally always one or two colors head to toe (and undergarments 😆)
Hahaha thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, JIID! I’m smiling as I’m replying! 😆 Wedges are mega cute-I personally haven’t worn my Castañer Espadrilles for aaaaages because they kind of fell out of trend but you’ve inspired me to pull them out again. I personally don’t think cow print will remain popular in the long run but I totally agree anything can be timeless if you want it to be-the ultimate message I was trying to get across in the video is that everyone should take trends with a grain of salt and rock whatever that’s authentic to their identity and lifestyle. ❤️ I actually think sheet tights and scrappy heels could be an amazing outfit-you should soooo try it! Let me know how you go! Love how you’re experimenting with colours-I’m actually putting together a new 2022 trend analysis video and I’ll be going through the trending palettes! Can’t wait to share with you! 🥰
Great food for thought about overconsumption with fast fashion, it's so easy to get wrapped up in it aye (I felt called out with the bucket hat cos I just got a cord one lol)
Thanks Yoho! I had to make a point coz the trends cycles are moving so fast I can’t keep up. No hate on people consuming fast fashion coz ethical, sustainable fashion isn’t always affordable. But definitely all about choosing the right trends to jump on! Lol I have a cord bucket hat too-it’s all good. I think it’s just the crazy patterns and fluffy ones that are at risk of being outdated 😂
I do like the Tennis Skirt, I just purchased a black and white one. I think it depends on how you use them. I think most items in neutral colors do work in general. Like black skinny jeans
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Andyexe! I LOVE your approach! 💖 The problem aren't tennis skirts, it's the way they've been overhyped on social media and the overconsumption as a result. If you're just buying a couple in neutral colours, that's the best way to explore your personal styles without overconsuming! 🥰
Absolutely don't give up on your wedges and cowboy boots! The whole point of the video is to get people to think more before they buy into a trend to minimise overconsumption. If you know what suits you, and you're not going to discard the items as soon as a trend finishes, keep wearing what makes you happy! YOU are what makes something timeless! x
I do disagree with the low rise Jean section, I think if you’re looking for the appearance of a flat tummy with low rise jeans they don’t work for A LOT of people, but I think what we should be doing as a society is to get used to seeing different silhouettes on different bodies because that’s realistic and still cute
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! I totally agree-the low rise jeans aren't the issue, it's the way they've been overhyped on social media and popularised by people of a particular body type, which actually sets a pretty unrealistic beauty standard and causes more fashion anxiety. When I was doing my research, I found it extremely difficult to find images of women with different body shapes wearing the low rise silhouette. 😭 Would love to see more representation from curvy girls, WoC rocking the low rise cut! 💖
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! Completely agree-the best way is to not get affected by trends and dress the way that makes you feel comfortable! 🥰🙌🏻
idk abt others but since I discovered denim jackets I haven't stopped wearing them. They are my fall staple, when u know there is just little bit cold but not enough to bring out ur blazres
Hi Sheelu! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! Speaking of denim jackets, I’m actually putting together a new 2022 trend analysis video and I’ll be talking about denim jackets! Can’t wait to share with you and see what you think! x
Awww thanks so much for your kind comment! You’ve made my day! I’m editing a new 2022 trend analysis video this weekend-can’t wait to share with you! Watch this space! ❤️🥰
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! That’s cool you’ve got your personal style on lock and you know what you exactly want. But for people that have just started their fashion journey, it’ll be irresponsible for me to push them into buying distinctive pieces. The whole point of the video is to encourage people to think a bit more before they buy into a trend to minimise overconsumption. If colourful pieces reflect your personal style and you’re not discarding them as soon as the trend is over, keep rocking them-YOU are what makes them timeless ❤️
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Anna! Whatever shoe type you're into, as long as the material or shape isn't super distinctive, you can wear them for a long time. Anything could be timeless as long as you want it to be! x
One thing I've found with being able to make more trendy items last well past their peak is sticking to a monochrome selection. I only wear black, grey, and a very small amount of white. I have items from all different styles of fashion and having a uniform color palette allows me to mix them together and still be "relevant".
Thanks so much for sharing, Kasandra! What a great trick-it's good to be able to enjoy trend items but get more wear out of them to minimise overconsumption. Putting that in my notes! xx
Thanks C Z! I know my opinion about tennis skirts could be unpopular because they've been extremely popular-especially on social media. It's good to know I'm not the only person that think that way hahaha. Making a new 2022 trend analysis video this weekend and I can't wait to share with you! x
Aw Milka you comment made my day! Thank you so much. I'm preparing the next video to discuss 2022 trends-hope you'll enjoy it too. I'll keep you posted when it goes live x
That’s exactly what I was trying to get across in the video-the idea is to get people to think a bit more before they consume so they don’t just blindly follow what TikTok/influencers are telling them what’s ‘cool’. Thanks for understanding the message! ❤️
So great to see a video from you! As someone who is clueless about fashion, this was really interesting! :) love the Ana Luisa pieces too, they’re so pretty! ✨
Aww thanks Sally! I was a little nervous about uploading coz I haven’t done it for so long. So glad you enjoyed the video. You’re awesome-love your work xx
Aw thanks so much for your lovely comment! Means a lot to me that you found the video useful ❤️ I’m putting together a new 2022 trend analysis-can’t wait to share with you! 🥰
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Hadassa! I totally agree-some wedge (or I should say platforms) could be timeless. I'm actually making a new video to talk about 2022 fashion trends and platform is a big one. I'm uploading it on Thursday-would love to hear your thoughts! x
If yOu love a item wear IT fuck trends like Skinny jeans fits for me and if the whole world wear flared jeans OR other Pants i still be wear IT bec its easy fit and easy to find it
Couldn’t agree more! The whole point of this video is to get people to slow down the way they consume. Skinny jeans doesn’t work for my figure so personally I’d prefer wearing straight/wide leg bottoms even if skinny jeans are back on trend. If they work well for you, keep wearing them-ultimately, your personal style is what makes an item of clothing timeless ❤️🙌🏻
also blazers - big and chunky are cute but slightly a trend. i do not like tight fitted blazers but i personally would opt for a size just in the middle - big enough to be comfy, small enough to be appropriate to wear to different occasions
Good shout! It's all about having the right balance! ❤️ My personal ideal is to have a blazer that is slightly oversized on the body so it's got a boxier, more high-fashion vibe, but with sleeves that are just right-so the boxy cutting looks like it's been done on purpose as a design cue.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment! It means a lot to me and it motivates me to keep going! I just made a new 2022 trend analysis video-hope you enjoy it xx ua-cam.com/video/4fKZ-zuWZ-Y/v-deo.html
i really think that chunky/platform loafers are very good, especially for people who are short but still want to look sophisticated and rocking it at the same time. any one can wear platform loafers and it is such a good investment, I'm also earning to buy a goof pair.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! I totally agree-chunky platforms or loafers definitely have their place in the long run. It’s just about getting the right style and shape i.e. something that aren’t too embellished or ridiculously thick. I love how you’re saving up to buy a good pair instead of getting a few pairs of low quality shoes. I just know you’ll wear them for a long time and they’ll be a timeless investment for you! 🥰 Btw, I just dropped a new 2022 trend analysis: ua-cam.com/video/4fKZ-zuWZ-Y/v-deo.html Would love to know your thoughts and what your favourite trends are! x
Naw love the NZ accent. People some times ask me where in NZ I am from, but I'm just a German girl in Australia lol Love the editing on the video btw. Very engaging 😃
Aww thank you so much for your lovely comment! It honestly made my night. Judging from your description, I’m sure you’ve got a lovely accent too! 🥰 Btw I’ve just uploaded a new 2022 trend analysis video: ua-cam.com/video/4fKZ-zuWZ-Y/v-deo.html Would love to know what you think! xx
13:03 Crochet I love yarn so i dont care if its trendy i will be unique and wear them because i personally love them so much and am my own person! I know hot to knit, want to learn crochet.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I should've been more specific-I don't have an issue with crochet as a handicraft. It will always have a place in fashion. What I have an issue with is the avant-basic crochet pieces that are completely overhyped by influencer marketing, which are unfortunately causing a lot of overconsumption and waste. I totally agree-if an aesthetic or a specific item of clothing represents who you are, it doesn't matter if it falls out of fashion. Because you'll be wearing it beyond the trend and you won't be part of the vicious cycle of overconsumption/overproduction. Keep rocking your crochet pieces-you are what makes it timeless! x
I think whether a piece is trendy or timeless or not also depends on your own personal style. something that I might consider a trend someone else might consider a staple of their wardrobe for many years to come, or vice versa.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, AJ! I absolutely agree-what's deemed to be trendy vs timeless is relative. There's always the 'mainstream' trend that whether we like it or not, sets the tone for the majority. But if something reflects you personal style, nothing should stop you from wearing it! YOU are the one that makes a piece timeless! x
I’m glad to hear this cause there are a lot of pieces I bought and they are timeless phew lol I think my mom helped me figure out that trendy is 100% a no cause I used to love 60% trendy clothes
Sorry I've been on my UA-cam hiatus but I just came back and saw your comment now! I've just dropped a new Trendy vs Timeless video-keen to know what you think :) ua-cam.com/video/perr7ud9dEo/v-deo.html
I just stumbled into this video but you gained a new subscriber! I love your positivity and your comments. Now I will go and binge watch your other videos 🥰
Awww thank you so much for your lovely comment! Means the world to me that you enjoyed my video 😭❤️ I’m preparing a new 2022 trend analysis video-can’t wait to share with you! x
i agree w basically everything except the socks with sandals. you def have to be real fashionable to pull it off. i just wear mine in the house but never out, plus you might end up buying lots of different colours because it needs to match with your outfit... and i have no time to do that 🤣
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Zee Gee! I totally agree-socks with sandals is a hard look to pull off if you don't have any styling skills. It's totally worth it if you've got a good eye for fashion but for a beginner, I'd advice to experiment styling sneakers with funky socks as a starting point. It's easier to get right! 😆❤️
The way this video was recommended to me in the UA-cam algorithm and I see my "Tenniscore" photo three seconds into the video.... the devil works hard but UA-cam works harder
Thanks for your comment, Matt! It’s so cool to have someone that aligns with my thinking! I’ve got the next video lined up-can’t wait to share with you and see what you think! ❤️
I loooovee Jenny Mustard’s videos! Her anti-hauls are great! ❤️❤️🙌🏻 Hmm maybe I should put together some timeless fashion recommendations-what do you think? ☺️
I love your take on trend vs. timeless and agree with most of them, however I have to disagree with the jeans one. I work as a salesassistant in a little boutique and the thing that I noticed and learned with jeans is: You can't really put a shape of jeans as a trend. (Or better said we shouldn't) It could look not so good on you but look amazing on someone else. A reason why I don't like the jeans debate between the millenials and gen Z. But other than that absolutly love your video!! ♥️♥️
Love this! Thanks so much for sharing, Ansana! It’s awesome to hear your point of view as a sales assistant because you work in the fashion industry-you’d be close to the trends and you’d seeing a lot of customers and the way things fit on them. I completely agree-it’d be great if we just scrap the idea of ‘trend’ completely and instead, wear whatever we look great and feel comfortable in. And thank you for your lovely comment. It gives me the motivation to make more videos! The idea of Gen Z vs Millennials aesthetic is so fascinating. Do you think it’d be an interesting topic for me to do a deep dive on? ❤️
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I totally agree-some girls can definitely pull that silhouette off but I personally look silly in them. 🥲 I’ve started putting together a new 2022 trend analysis video! Can’t wait to share with you! ❤️
Thank you so much for this video!! This is the first vid of yours that ive come across and I have already subscribed. I loveee your energy!!🥰I couldn’t decide between getting the Gucci Horsebit platform loafers or the Prada ones you showed in the video. You’ve convinced me to get the Prada ones as I would for sure prefer to invest in a more timeless piece.
Thanks so much for your support, Shawna! It means so much to me that you enjoyed the video-can't wait to share the next one with you! Ohhhh you've got amazing taste-both loafers look great and I reckon whichever way you go, you'll get a lot of wear out of them and they are great investments! x
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! I mean, we all thought the leopard print will phase out but it keeps coming back. Who knows? Maybe the cow print can do the same too? I think it’s all about what represents your personal style. If cow print is something you genuinely love and you’re not going to toss it away as soon as the trend’s over, keep wearing it! YOU are the one that makes it timeless! Btw, I just uploaded a new 2022 trend analysis video! ua-cam.com/video/4fKZ-zuWZ-Y/v-deo.html Would love to hear what you think and what your favourite trends are! x
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Jillian! I agree-cowboy boots could totally be timeless if styled properly! My main concern aren't cowboy boots, but how the cowboy boot trend has been overhyped on social. The point of the video is to get people thinking a bit more before buying into a trend to minimise overconsumption. If something represents your personal style, keep rocking them beyond the trend-YOU are why the item is timeless! x
Skinny jeans have had their place in alternative culture since the 80s. I think the super ultra tight, stretchy, jeggings like skinny jeans are unflattering and dunzo but slim/classic skinny jeans in general will become timeless after the skinny jean hate dies down.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Small Spring Onion! (Such a cute username! xx) I think so too-I think the ultra skinny, jeggings like skinny jeans are not very flattering for my figure personally and they also have a fast-fashion look about them. But the straighter, still skinny-cut jeans with a stiffer fabric will not go out of style!
Thanks for sharing your experience, Vii! I used to buy so much stuff and end up not likely the clothes as soon as the trends cool down-because I didn’t carefully consider whether the cutting or style actually suited me or not. I’m still on the journey of cutting back. It’s all about slowing down and having fun with fashion at the same time! Can’t wait to share my next video with you x
Thanks so much for sharing your perspective as a Texan, Alicia! Totally agree-if an item represents your lifestyle or your personal sense of taste, it really doesn’t matter what trends are out there. Keep rocking them! YOU are what makes them timeless 🥰❤️
first of all i hope this does not come across as rude at all, but the one thing i don’t love abt videos like this is that the creator is always biased to their style. you seemed to label brighter items as “trendy” and neutrals as “timeless” however someone with an eclectic style would say that bright items are a must. i just think that that’s something to watch out for with these videos
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Ava! No worries, you don’t come across rude-your point is absolutely valid. I do what to explain further about why I chose to make those recommendations in my video. Whilst some neutral items might be playing it too safe or uninspiring for some, as creators, I think we have to extra careful about what we ‘recommend’. People that have a strong sense of style will most likely take what we say with a grain of salt because they already know what they want-and that’s totally fine. But the people that really need these kind of videos are the ones that are still on the journey of searching their own fashion style, or have a limited budget and need to get items that won’t go out of style easily. They’re looking for guidance and advice. If they ask me what they should invest in, I would lean towards things that are more versatile and have a longer shelf-life. Even though I also find some avant-basic crochet sweaters and leg warmers cute, telling a fashion beginner to buy up a bunch is just irresponsible. Hope you understand where creators are coming from. ❤️

I just dropped a new video that talks about the key 2024 fashion trends and predicted whether they'll last beyond 2025! Love how passionate you all are in the comment section-keen to know your thoughts on the new video (even if you disagree with me!) 😂 x ua-cam.com/video/perr7ud9dEo/v-deo.htmlsi=DE7wWQ3fZyFTpV_K
I wish crochet was timeless, I love my crochet pieces especially because I made them myself lol
Thanks for your comment, Beatriz! Don’t worry-even if crochet falls out of the main trend in 2022, they’ll always have a place in summer fashion, especially as an accent piece or for layering! So amazing you make them yourself-keep going! xx
personally i think crochet is timeless- saying its a trend is like saying knitwear is a trend. I think when most people think of crochet as a trend, its def the specific microtrend items like that one striped dress or the checkered totes that were big but crochet def can be made timeless!
@@kylier7126 Good point, Kylie! I reckon crochet will always have a place in fashion but compared to knitwear or denim, which are evergreen fashion items, crochet’s appeal is quite niche. So once it falls out of the main trend, you probably won’t see the general public wearing much of it. But it’s all about how you wear it-if you’re not consuming crochet pieces just because the avant-basic aesthetic is trendy (which I think will eventually be phased out) and you’re injecting your personal style when you wear it, crochet items could be timeless. 💖
same :((, I will still use it muahah
I’d consider knitwear as timeless tbh especially in colder seasons depending on the style it’s a basic
I low key dislike it when the things I usually like become a trend because I’m afraid that people and the media will keep talking and wearing tf out of it to the point people will see it as outdated very quickly 💀 I mean I’d still wear whatever I want but like still
THIS! 👏🏼 I completely agree-it’s so annoying when the things you’ve liked for literally your whole life get hyped by the media and influencers to a point where they become a trend. It’s problematic because the mass flocks to consume them only because they’re trendy. 🥲
This is even worse for fashion that is part of broader subcultures (especially POC ones) because they attempt to dilute much of the meaning of the original pieces when they usually have a lot of significance.
@@danic2514 Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Dani! I couldn't agree more-some trends are problematic imo e.g. fox eye makeup, the qipao trend, indigenous fashion... to name a few! Do you think it'd be worthwhile for me to do a deep-dive on this issue? x
@@vikkipedia_org I think it would make a good video, doing some good research on it would be a must!
@@danic2514 Absolutely! Good and thorough research is a must for that topic. It'd be an amazing video to make because I feel like in the process of research, I'll learn a lot personally. Thanks so much for the feedback! x
any piece of clothing you genuinely love will be timeless for you. trends are not the dress code, consider it a source of inspiration. wear whatever you feel comfortable in, wear whatever flatters your body, wear whatever your heart desires!
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Brigitte! I couldn’t agree more-any item of clothing can be timeless if you want it to be as long as it reflects your personal style! The whole point of the video is to get people to think a bit more before blindly following and buying into a trend. So glad your idea aligns with the video’s key message xx
Yes
I feel like what people classify as trendy vs timeless depends on your own personal life. For example, I'm not focused on looking classic and put together. I'm dressing how I feel best expresses me and whether that's with wearing chunky loafers with a tennis skirt. Or, wearing overalls with a mushroom sweater. Granted, I'm not saying that I support people buying microtrends to only wear it once and never to touch it again. I am saying that we should stop looking at the term of having a timeless style as a monolith. Having a timeless style shouldn't be about only wearing neutrals and basics. It should be about what colors look best on you and not colors that the world says is an essential. Wearing prints and patterns that make you the individual feel happy. I feel like we also need to embrace experimenting with fashion a bit more. Yes, overconsumption is a problem. But, we shouldn't be shooing away from people who want to try something new. And, hey maybe it didn't work for them but it brought them one step closer on finding out their own unqiue style. I've rambled for a long bit here. But, overall good video and you made some interesting points even though I disagreed with a lot of them.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts-lots of great points there! 👍 The key message of this video is to get people to think a bit more before they buy into a trend. My main concern is not only overconsumption, but also overproduction. Too many trends/microtrends have been created by major players of the industry and popularised by influencers to make money. But they’re often Eurocentric and not very inclusive.
We’re definitely aligned on the idea of encouraging people to experiment with fashion. As I mentioned in the video, I believe fashion is a means to express and affirm one’s identity, especially for some LGBTQI+ and PoC communities.
It sounds like you’ve got your personal style on lock, which is totally amazing! But there are also lots of people that haven’t developed their sense of style and are constantly looking for guidance.
I was one of those people that didn’t understand what I really liked. Looking back at my late teens and throughout my 20s, I unfortunately contributed to the overconsumption/overproduction cycle. I bought what magazines told me to buy and what celebs were wearing (before the days of influencers lol). I wish I didn’t rush into getting a bunch of trendy items for the sake of fitting in. Tons of 90s low-waisted jeans, Y2K tops and platform shoes have been discarded. 😞
The advice I had in this video might be playing it too safe for some, but I feel like I need to act responsibly, especially for people that are still trying to figure out what they like.
I totally agree when you said “timeless style shouldn't only be about wearing neutrals and basics”. But for a person that has just started their journey on exploring their fashion style, I reckon it’s best to take things slowly.
Not saying you should never buy a bold item or a trend piece-but if you’re not sure what to get, it’s good to start building your wardrobe with basic essentials and gradually add pops of colour/statement pieces that aligns with your personal taste as you develop it.
Thanks for showing me a different point of view. Even though our style might differ, I actually think our core values align-fashion is what you make of it. If it represents who you are, keep rocking what that make you feel good. Anything can be timeless if you want it to be! 🥰
@@anniexuan Love this, Amie! Thanks so much for sharing. 💖 Absolutely agree-say the fringe trend, it's at the heart of the hippie culture but it's going to be a massive trend in 2022 (which I'll be covering in the next video I just shot)! I don't have a problem with designers borrowing visual cues of an aesthetic to create a brand new piece of garment but it does feel sometimes that these 'trends' or 'microtrends', which to some, are actually their way of life and part of the culture for decades, have been overhyped on social media to drive consumerism. Do you think this is a topic that's worth doing a deep dive on? x
We should move away as a society from trends and people should reflect their personal style on their personality and what they like . Trends come across as trashy and tacky most of the time
exactly. for example most people would see baby blues and pastel purples as trends but they're my favorite colors + esp. blue fits my complexion the best so i'm just filling my wardrobe with purples and blues. also makes it easier to style as i can just put on a few different shades of blue on for an easy fashionable look
@@jessesotheysay Couldn’t agree more! As a society, we should think a bit more before jumping onto every trend under the sun. We should consider what actually reflects our personalities and what makes us feel confident and comfortable in the long run. I do understand it takes time and experience to develop a sense of style. A lot of young people are impressionable and the overhyping on social media is not helping… 😓
As a teen, I think you shouldn't feel like you have to stick to one style for the rest of your life and decide it(as a teen) but I think it is important to think about what you have and how you can reuse as your style changes. What will you likely still want when you are older and what can you repurpose? Think before you buy.
Also, I agree with knee-high boots, I am currently not a fan but there is no denying that they are here to stay. Classic for sure.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Colette! I completely agree-as a person in their 30s, my personal styles went through so many phases since my teens when I started being interested in fashion.
Your body, preference and lifestyle will undoubtedly evolve as you get older and when you accumulate new experiences. What I thought I'd love for the rest of my life when I was 20 is totally not what I want right now. It's all about slowing down and being a little more considered before buying into a trend. 🥰
For people who're uncomfortable wearing stilettos or pointy heel shoes, wedges are always a good option. Wedges are never out of fashion.
Thanks so much for your comment, Anuska! Fashion trends are cyclical-no doubt wedges will come back in fashion but I personally don’t think it’s a timeless shoe. The silhouette of a wedge is quite hefty and tends to date very quickly, especially when it’s paired with specific textures, say espadrille or cork.
For a more timeless alternative that’s more comfortable than stilettos, I’d suggest simple block heel sandals. The shape is much sleeker and has a more neutral look-you’ll get so much wear out of them ❤️
i personally can't wear wedge heels (anymore) because for some reason they (along with slingbacks--usually these two go hand in hand) make me stumble, then fall...oof. Too many skinned knees and twisted ankles, sigh.
@@susanma4899 Wedge heels do take a bit of practice to balance on! I reckon platform sneakers or loafers could be a great alternative that provides a bit more stability and still elongates your silhouette! 🥰
That's why I buy boots or sandals that are wedges, atleast I can wear them anytime and anywhere
@@poojaalexaupadhaya6681 Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Alexa! I think it really depends on the texture of the heel-platforms are coming back in a big way in 2022! I talked about this trend in my new trend analysis video. I'd love to hear your thoughts (even if you disagree with me!) ua-cam.com/video/4fKZ-zuWZ-Y/v-deo.html ❤
Tennis skirts are absolutely timeless! They’ve been popular for like 5-6 decades
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Sydney! Yeah I think tennis skirts aren’t the issue, it’s the way they’ve been overhyped on social media that’s causing a lot of overconsumption and overproduction. If they reflect your personal style and you aren’t discarding them as soon as they fall out of the main trend, keep rocking them! YOU are what makes them timeless ❤️
I feel like what is trendy v timeless also depends where you live and on the culture(s) within the area. I’m a POC and recently moved to Wollongong, Australia. This beachside coastal city, (which is predominantly White) tend to favour short dresses, gym attire, leggings, crop tops, jeans, patterns and white sneakers.
However when I used to live in the western suburbs of Sydney (which have large densities of POC), the main pieces of clothing you’d see were trackies, mostly black items, longer dresses, hoodies and sweats, and slides, or Nike Air Jordan’s.
Living in two different areas has made me realise that I am also influenced by those around me without even realising it. It was so easy to switch styles or buy particular items when they are the only thing you see around you / compared to what you see online. Thank god I’ve developed my own sense of style since this epiphany 😂
LOVE this-thanks so much for sharing your observation, Namida! It’s fascinating to see how locations/cultures affect the way we dress, especially from a fellow PoC’s perspective! Here in Auckland, we also have ‘uniforms’ that stereotypically represent certain areas or subcultures.
As a child of immigrant parents, the way I dressed in my teens, even through uni, was heavily influenced by those around me because I spent so much energy trying to fit in. It took me a looooong time to find my personal style! But we all have to go through our own unique journey to further define our identity/get comfortable with the way we look and I’m so glad you’ve found your personal sense of style that you’re not going to waver from! ❤️
Oh hey another fellow person-from-the-general-Sydney-area! Honestly I never really thought about it in depth until now, and thinking of the different Sydney areas that I frequent the most, it's so true how different the fashion can depend on geography and the people in the area.
You've already gone into detail with Western Sydney so I'll skip lol.
The Northern Beaches (which is predominantly white) has a lot of flowy, surfer, and vsco girl styles of fashion, and also a lot of the stuff you mentioned about Wollongong.
I can't really pinpoint specific styles in the Inner West (which comparatively, is significantly more diverse to coastal suburbs), because it really depends from suburb to suburb. Like if you're closer to the CBD e.g. Newtown or Glebe, you can find more alternative styles like punk, lolita, and also preppy styles. But if you go further towards western suburbs, you start to see more of the casual, streetwear types of styles, some of which you mentioned.
Honestly it's incredibly interesting, and it's also made me think how much influence my environment had on my style, because I feel that I stick out like a sore thumb whenever I visit the Northern Beaches and I find it kinda funny lmao.
@@CursedThulium Wow this is incredible! Thanks so much for sharing in depth about what the different fashion styles are like in Sydney. So eye-opening and interesting to people in different areas dressing a certain way that represents a particular subculture that specifically belongs to a suburb. Keep rocking your style at the Northern Beaches, Izzy! x
@@CursedThulium exactly haha! It’s so interesting. I think other factors such as the type of lifestyle have a lot to do with it too (I.e. somehow living on the beach makes you want to go to gym 24/7 and be more active lol).
And you’re so right about feeling like you’re the only one in a specific area standing out in the clothes you wear because it’s so different to the ‘norm’ around you.
I personally think skinny jeans are timeless, I love the way they make me look and feel, but I feel like they only go with so many outfits, some outfits look so much more aesthetic is you put on baggier pants but nevertheless, I still love them.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! The point of the video is to get people to think a bit more before they buy into a fashion trend to minimise overconsumption. If you're blessed with the body type that looks fantastic in skinny jeans or whatever makes you feel good, keep rocking them! Anything can be timeless as long as it represents your personal style! x
3:57 I really like how you talked about the importance of fashion in poc and queer people. As someone who is A South East Asian lesbian I use fashion as an outlet of expression specifically more on jewelry since I know how to make my own (one day I’ll relearn sewing!). I’m very particular with accesories as I tend to make queer coded ones (I.e using the colors of my flags to using the words on a bracelet). I want to also use pearls and my culture’s fashion more as they help me be more one with my roots, since I’ve lived there my whole life I might as well give it tribute of sorts even if it’s in fashion.
Thanks so much for sharing your fashion journey from a queer PoC perspective! 🥰 Trends are often determined by the major players in the industry-they lack representations from minority communities. I think it’s so important to keep having these conversations. There are so many talented artists in the PoC and LGBTQI+ communities like yourself that deserve way more hype! 🔥 Do you think I should make a video to do a deep dive on this topic?
@@vikkipedia_org yes I think you should do a deep dive of that topic since it can bring awareness and insight to the fashion industry from a minority/ marginalized pov, you can even have guest creators or people who can talk about their experiences with fashion and their self expression with it!
That sounds like a GREAT idea! Thank you so much! It'd be amazing to invest guests to chat about the topic on my channel. I'd love to do a deep dive on the topic-I feel like it needs more awareness and I'd love to have an open discussion with the UA-cam community! 🥰
I'm curious, how do you incorporate your cultures fashion? The traditional prints of my cultural clothing and even modern interpretations are only available in my country. Unless you do some haul every time you visit your country how would you incorporate it to your modern wardrobe?
@@Айбекдж That’s such an interesting question. Thanks so much for asking! ❤ Here in New Zealand, a lot of Māori fashion designers have incorporated traditional weaving techniques into their creations, or brought in visual cues like traditional motifs and patterns that beautifully pay tribute to their culture, but also extremely wearable for the everyday.
Incorporating cultural motifs should be done by designers that carry the heritage of that specific culture. It should be done with a lot of care and respect-not bastardised by the popular culture. I actually think it’s a positive thing that the traditional prints/patterns of your cultural clothing are only available in your country because it minimises the chance of other people using it in the wrong way!
I actually disagree with the leg warmers. I don't know for other people, but I remember I really wanted a pair and I still wear them to dance or even outside with a skirt. If people stop wearing them I would still do I don't really care. They're a way to keep your legs warm + they're practical for sports like ballet, dance and really a lot more. In my opinion they're timeless.(at least for me :))
Thanks for sharing your love for leg warmers! Absolutely keep rocking them because they reflect your personal style! The whole point of this video is to get people thinking a bit more before buying into a trend to minimise overconsumption. If you keep wearing them beyond the trend, you’ve already made them timeless! ❤️🙌🏻
I totally agree with you about the leg warmers being more of a timeless piece. There’ve been worn for ages in different ways, even in different cultures and time periods, but always for the same reason, to protect/warm the leg. I also love how much they are part of the code of a dancer’s dress code. Not easy to dance with long pants so I see how it could’ve gotten started as a ‘thing.’ Absolutely love leg warmers and I think they’re coming back as ‘trendy’ now but they’ve been a forever thing, along with knee highs socks. :)
@@washingtonskies8698 Thanks so much for sharing! So interesting to hear a different perspective from a different culture. ❤Completely agree re: the whole 'trendy' thing-the problem is not leg warmers themselves, but the overhyping on social media that causes overconsumption!
I have some from back in the early 2000ths and I continued to wear them now and then for the last 20 years. Warm legs are timeless
@@lovegoodss6162 Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Absolutely-timelessness is subjective. Whilst a lot of people are jumping on the leg warmer trend because of the overhyping on social media, if you've been wearing the same item for the last 20 years, YOU have made them timeless for YOU! 💖
I disagree partially with the low rise jeans being trendy. In the past (especially 90s- early 2000s) it was a way to make your figure the staement peice rather than introduce an inspiring outfit, but with the body positivity and body neutrality movement on the rise I believe they could become a statement peice used to make any outfit personal. They also make lovely sihlouettes with any top in my opinion. Overall, they have the potential to become a wardrobe essential.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Sidney. ❤️ I think the low rise silhouette itself isn’t the problem-the way they’re made popular is. Fashion trends are often created and then popularised by the major players of the industry and therefore could be problematic because some of them are Eurocentric and not very inclusive. When I did my research for this video, it occurred to me that majority of the women representing the low rise trend, both in the 90s/early 2000s and nowadays on social media, are white and thin. I’d love to other representation with more PoC in other shape and sizes rock this silhouette-but it just isn’t happening enough. 😭
I disagree with tennis skirts though. I‘ve been wearing them since 2012 as a kpop-obsessed teenager (which is when this trend started) & these babies are still in my wardrobe in 2022. They look way more flattering and slimming than skater skirts or pencil skirts and they are the perfect middle ground between „casual“ and „put together“. My summer staples since years
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Yayen! Completely agree-the problem isn't the tennis skirt itself, but the overhyping on TikTok/social media which caused the overconsumption. If it represents your personal style and you're not buying it for the sake of wearing a trend, keep rocking the tennis skirt! YOU are what makes it timeless! ❤️
The bucket hat will always be timeless for fisherman as well
Hahaha you’re absolutely right, Clare! The bucket hat is a utility item for the fishing community so no doubt it’ll be timeless! 🥰
unpopular opinion but I love skinny jeans! I'm a pear shape so they flatter my body type but I find myself gravitating towards my straight leg, boot cut and low rise jeans due to my current style. However I've kept my favorite pair of skinny jeans so when they come back I'm ready !! It's funny I used to refuse to wear my old jeans and only wore skinny jeans and now I prefer my older jeans
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Alexandria! Your opinion is not unpopular at all-seems like a lot of people in the comment section still love skinny jeans, which is fantastic because it means you'll keep wearing them even if they aren't trendy (which means we can minimise the problem of overconsumption/overproduction)! The whole point of the video is to make people think a bit more before they buy into a trend. If the cutting suits your silhouette, absolutely keep rocking them! You can make anything timeless as long as it represents your personal style! x
as a pear, I prefer flares and straight legs as they empathize my figure without showing off my skinny legs
@@writteninstars Thanks for sharing your perspective! Nothing wrong with skinny jeans if other's look good in them but I have the same body type as you, which is why I feel straight/wide leg jeans work better for people like us. 🥰
I love how loose jeans is now timeless, reminiscent of the 90s jean cuts instead of the skinny jeans.
Yes I’m glad the wider, more comfortable cutting is here to stay! The extremely loose-fitted style might not last forever but regular to wide leg should be a pretty safe investment! 🥰
90’s baby and Latina here and skinny jeans are absolutely amazing I love how it just looks on my body and my curves. But I agreed with everything else.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Nekita! Gosh I wish I have the curves to rock some skinny jeans but my body type can’t pull that silhouette 🥲 Keep rocking them-you’ll make them timeless because they reflect your personal styles! 🥰❤️
LOVE this video & your commentary on this subject!
I would say 12:58 is the only point I really disagree with, because even though it’s very casual, I think this look is referential of a classic 80s / 90s look and the silhouette of a crew neck + tennis skirt whether worn together or styled separately will never go out of style.
It’s a great easy-to-style look that is flattering on just about every body type.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Hannah! Means a lot to me that you enjoyed the video. 💖
The reason why I think the 80s/90s look of a crew neck + tennis skirt is trendy has everything to do with influencer marketing and TikTok.
This style was massive when I was growing up (showing my age as an old millennial lol) but it completely died down for almost a decade. It gained popularity again in 2020-2021 through influencer marketing and therefore I feel like the hype could subside quite quickly as fashion trends tend to be cyclical.
However, I think it’s a great look and it is flattering on most body types. Keep rocking this style if you love it and if it represents your aesthetic-anything can be timeless if you want it to be! 🥰
something my grandma always said that i live by is that trends come and go but you find your own style by picking and choosing the ones you like and sticking with them
LOVE this approach! Thanks so much for sharing, Scout! Grandma's always right haha! 🥰
reminder that just because things fall out of trend doesn’t mean you have to stop wearing and loving the things that you wear even if they’re not “trendy”.
I LOVE THIS! Thanks so much for sharing. I totally agree-the key message of the video is to get people to think a bit more before they buy into a trend so they can keep wearing an item because it truly represents their personal styles. If you love something, keep rocking it! YOU are what makes it timeless! x
My personal style ranges from dark/light/romantic academia to k-fashion, so I consider the tennis skirt a staple in my closet. I usually choose neutral colors to make them more versatile. 😊
Thanks so much for sharing your aesthetic, Tammy! Love your idea of getting a trend piece, but in a neutral colour to make it more versatile and long-lasting. I reckon that's the best way to go when you're on the journey of exploring your personal style! Taking it slow and getting more neutral pieces to begin with will minimise the consumption. ❤️
I think for me as a South African they remind me too much of a school uniform especially if they're plaid. Same with chunky loafers, they looked too much like school shoes we are forced to wear from like 7 to 18 years old you know. I think if you haven't worn a uniform all your life maybe its different but yeah.
@@mariankeen8591 Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Marian! What an interesting take! I totally feel you-some of the current trends are like a homage to our school years and I personally don't feel like I have to go through it again lol... But I do think some elements are cute as long as they're not overdone. Btw, I've just uploaded a new 2022 trend analysis video-would love to hear your thoughts (even if you disagree with me!) ua-cam.com/video/4fKZ-zuWZ-Y/v-deo.html ❤
Honestly I think if you really love a trend and want to implement it into your long term I think it makes it timeless for you, personally.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Lina! I couldn’t agree more! The whole point of this video is to get people to think a bit more before they buy into a trend to minimise overconsumption. But if a trend item reflects your personal style and you’re not discarding it as soon as it falls out of fashion, you can make literally anything timeless! ❤️
texas girl here. i know you said cowboy boots are too trendy BUT they never go out of style here. i have happily invested in a nice pair and will be wearing them to the ground because that's what texans do ;).
Ohhhh thanks for sharing your Texan style, Riley! It’s lovely to see people from all corners of the world sharing their personal styles and what they enjoy wearing! If cowboy boots suit your personal style, keep wearing them! You can make anything timeless if you want it to be xx
This is why I’m happy to live in France and not have to deal with this. Classic style is always best and trendy is not good for many reasons as it creates wasteful habits instead of investing in timeless pieces to last years.
Awww Lauren that's soooo cool how you're living in France. Trend cycles are changing way too quick-I think a place like France would be amazing to live in because it's almost immune to trends and everyone's just wearing classic, timeless pieces! Do people all look effortless chic (like how I'd imagine them)? I'd loooove to know! x
@@vikkipedia_org Yes, we stay by the neutrals and add nice jewelry to enhance the expression. Some people love designer items but not big logos as it shows to the other you try hard to be noticed. It is priority to present as elegant always .
France literally sounds like a fashion paradise-I love how people don't care about trends and they just stick to whatever suits their personal style. It must be lovely to have literally no pressure to chase trends! 🥰
@Nyameiji Thanks for sharing your observation, Nyameiji! It's thought-provoking to see how there's a generational divide when in comes to fashion styles, even in France! Do you reckon it'd be interesting if I do a deep dive on this topic?
Thanks so much for the feedback! Putting this content idea in my list now. Stay tuned! x
I think crochet clothes are trendy, but crochet accessories r timeless. The tote bags, hats, and cardigans r here to stay!
Totally agree, Hanna! Such a great point-crochet as a handicraft will always have a place in fashion. Crochet accessories can add a nice touch to an outfit even if the avant-basic look falls out of the main trend 🥰
I would say that crochet tops are very timeless bc they’re like knitwear
@@gabby1304_ Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Gabrielle! Absolutely agree-crochet as a handicraft is timeless, much like knitwear. It's the avant-basic crochet aesthetic that has been completely overhyped on social media that I find problematic, as it created a wave of overconsumption. If crochet is true to your personal style and you're not going to discard the items when they fall out of trend, keep rocking them! YOU are what makes them timeless! x
I think it's actually really good to have strong distinctive elements like zebra prints or cowboy boots in your wardrobe *but only if you're willing to commit to them.* If you like a distinctive item enough to wear it in the long term it stops being a trend thing and starts being part of what makes your wardrobe unique!
This is what I've done with a lot of offbeat or distinctive items such as my leather choker and my cloak.
LOVE your approach! 🥰 Thank you so much for sharing! I absolutely agree-the key thing is to be willing to commit to a certain aesthetic and not just discarding the item once it falls out of trend. If something truly represents your personal style, it doesn't matter what the trend is. YOU are what makes it timeless! x
IMO: if you feel comfortable and confidant in an outfit, its well fitting, and compliments your figure, it does not matter if its trendy or timeless or even out of style.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Gabriella! I absolutely agree-the point of the video is to get people to think a bit more before they buy into a trend to avoid overconsumption. If an item reflects your personal style and you're not going to discard it as soon as the trend is over, I'd say keep rocking it! YOU are what makes it timeless! x
I agree with almost everything you've said but, I'm going to disagree on the cowboy boot trend. I believe that it's a timeless wardrobe staple if it's in a neutral color and has minimalist details. I also believe that the context in where and how they're worn is also important too. That's also not mentioning they're practical uses in the daily lives of farmers or other trades.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Madison! Couldn't agree more-cowboy boots will always be a utilitarian fashion item on farms and certain trades. What I have an issue with weren't cowboy boots, but they way they've been overhyped on social media and the overconsumption as a result. But if it suits your personal style and you're not discarding them as soon as the trend cools down, keep rocking them! YOU are the reason why they'll be timeless! ❤️
It'll always be timeless if it's genuinely your style. I've been wearing skinny jeans for like 13 years now, I'm not gonna stop cause it's "out of style" same with cowboy boots, mini skirts, and bucket hats. Just because they're in now doesn't mean some people weren't wearing them before and won't be wearing them after
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Aly! The whole point of this video is to make people think a bit more before they buy into a trend to slow down trend cycles, overproduction and overconsumption. Sounds like you've got your personal style on lock, which is fantastic! If cowboy boots, skinny jeans or whatever you like represents who you are, absolutely keep rocking them. I agree-anything can be timeless as long as it represents your personal style! ❤️
Cowboy boots are timeless, babe! Been around for as long as fashion has been around! They go out of season from time to time due to weather, but they come back yearly for decades!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Kayla! I can definitely see how cowboy boots will remain an important part of country fashion even if they fall out of the main trend. ❤️ It’s just that cowboy boots have been overhyped on social media for the last year or two and people have been wearing them in a trendy, non-sustainable way. It’d be great if they try out the cowboy boots trend through thrifting but unfortunately, cheap, synthetic, mass-produced ones have flooded the market as an answer to the hype… 😓
To me skinny jeans really honestly depends on the outfit but i agree with you on that
Yes skinny jeans work great if a person has long legs because they’ll always pull the waistline down visually. It also depends on the way they’re styled-but regular to high rise is always a safe choice for most figures.
Just wear whatever you feel beautiful in my peeps
Couldn’t agree more! ❤️
I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers! This is such a well put together, entertaining, and informative video. One of my life long loves is fashion and I’ve recently been relying less on trends to navigate my sense of fashion and sticking to staples I love plus some incorporations of trends. And I’ve also been getting a lot of fashion inspo from tiktok that has been pushing my investment into statement pieces and my love of all things strange and girly lol. In the end tho my favorite thing to see in someones fashion is a honest look into who they are, it’s so magical to see how people paint themselves ✨
Aw thanks so much for sharing-I love the way you approach fashion! It took me forever to figure out what my personal style is and what I’m genuinely comfortable with wearing! I love seeing people rocking clothes that represent their identity because they look confident and radiant, no matter what age, gender or race they are! I completely agree with you-fashion is not only getting dress, it’s a means of self-expression!

This popped up in my recommended and I couldn't agree more with the blazers! I think boxier blazers are more timeless because they accommodate for more body types and sizes and overall silhouettes in outfits!

The whole point of this video is not to get people to agree with my suggestions, but to think a bit more before buying into a trend to minimise overconsumption. The issue I have isn’t crochet itself as a handicraft, but the avant-basic crochet pieces that are completely overhyped by social media. If crochet represents your personal style and you’re not discarding your crochet items as soon as they are out of trend, keep rocking them! Good luck on your crochet journey-love how you’re making your own pieces! ❤️👏🏼
I love this video! It’s so true, it’s inspiration overstimulation, which leads me to retreat to a neutral palette and think I need to focus on a capsule wardrobe. Which, isn’t actually me, although I admire refined a textured, neutral look! I love maximalism in every way but I get thrifting vibes (and not in a good way!) really quickly when I try to put a creative outfit together. As style and trends are revolving at such a rapid rate, it’s a fun time to get dressed, and I’ve decided to invest more in things like classic bags and shoes, and button downs that can be worn multiple ways, so no matter what I’m wearing, at least something feels grounded in myself. Fashion is so fun but it can be all-consuming on many levels, and its an amazing feeling when you kind of find your vibe :-)
Thank you so much for your thought-provoking comment! I couldn’t agree more-fashion is supposed to be fun and ideally we should be able to regularly change up our outfits to match how we feel on the day. But lately I’m feeling the stress because of how fast trend cycles are moving. It just seem like things will become out of trend after a couple of wears. I love your idea of thrifting-I reckon it’s the way to go if you want to achieve the maximalist aesthetic without buying new pieces all the time! Speaking of maximalism, I’m actually putting together a new video to talk about the trends of 2022 and how I would style them (and spoiler alert: maximalism is going to be huge in 2022!) Can’t wait to share with you! 🥰
P.S. Love the idea of a capsule wardrobe. Would you be interested in a video about that?
Love that I agree with so many things you said 😭😭 I always hated the tennis skirts & love the blazers
Thanks so much for your comment, T! I definitely think there are styles that are more timeless than others and the whole point is to get people to slow down and think more about their purchases. So glad you enjoyed the video! I’m putting a new 2022 trend analysis video together-can’t wait to share with you 🥰
Didn’t expect that u only have 3k+ subs. Your video quality screams like u have 500k+ subs 🥹 so gooood
Awww thank you so much for your words of encouragement! Means a lot to me. I’m going to pick UA-cam back up with a ‘how to find your personal style’ video. Doing a lot of research and planning now-can’t wait to share with you x
I love this video, apart of having a good time it gave me some ideas of basic clothes that I should buy
Awww Myriam thank you so much for your lovely comment! It seriously made my day! I'm actually making a new 2022 trend analysis video-can't wait to share that with you! x
I feel like crochet will always be fashionable in the fall/ winter
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Starcie! I think crochet can definitely be timeless as long as the piece is not created to blindly follow the avant-basic trend, as I think that would get phased out. I've always associated crochet to be more of a summer trend because of the tiny crop tops and crochet overthrow dresses. I definitely overlooked crochet accessories like scarves and beanies for winter-great thinking! x
Really loved this!❤️, definitely coming back here for more notes 📝
Aww thank you so much Zandile! Means a lot to me that you enjoyed the video! I just uploaded a new 2022 trend analysis. Would love to hear your thoughts and see which trend is your favourite (or least favourite 😂) ua-cam.com/video/4fKZ-zuWZ-Y/v-deo.html ❤️
Will do 🙂!
Thank you so much! 🥰 x
I personally will invest to leather blazer (as long as you can create your own personal aesthetic or let say your own fashion approachment, it can be a timeless pieces an of course not a trend) 😁
*btw sist, your accent are so cute*
*and pardon for my english 😅*
Thanks for your comment, Dary! I love leather blazers too. I reckon as long as they're not super distinctive, they shouldn't date too quickly. I totally agree-as long as you can create your personal style and make sure pieces aren't just worn a handful of times before you discard them, anything can be timeless as long as you make it!
Aw that's lovely of you-I know my accent isn't the easiest to understand so your cute comment is greatly appreciated! Btw, your English is great! 💖
Specific pieces are going viral because brand are sending them to a bunch of influencers at the same time and then all of them are posting in them but by the time regular people orders one (real or dupe) it’s not cool anymore
Thanks so much for sharing, Paige! That's so true! ❤️ The whole trend cycle is driven by brands creating these 'viral' pieces, amplified by the influencers to create demand. By the time we all jump on the bandwagon, more 'cool' things will pop up... It's a never-ending consumerism cycle and it's tiresome to keep following!
I feel like leg warmers are rlly useful for cold weathers !!! but i do admit that those are seasonal
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Angela! Leg warmers are mega cute-they are a trend item and pretty seasonal but I think you can get a lot of wear out of them this winter as the trend isn't going anywhere yet! I'm putting together a new 2022 trend analysis video right now-can't wait to share with you! ❤️
Im a super fan of avant basic or the colorful childish look of 2021(idk whats it called) but i cant always pull them off and felt like I can only wear them on conventions like cosplay or something
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Avant Basic is a great aesthetic! Are you talking about the kidcore look? Of you want to participate in the trend without looking too much like a dress-up, you can always invest in one or two statement pieces like a crochet top or a colourful knitted cardigan, so you're not overdoing it but it still looks amazing! x
dopamine dressing?
I love them too, omg. I have aways loved colorful and "odd" looking fashion. As well as "childish" clothes/styles. I wish I had the money to buy clothes like that though.
Ohhhh dopamine dressing is such an interesting topic-do you think I should do a deep dive on this? x
It's an interesting and distinctive aesthetic! It's such a fun look-would you like to see a video dedicated to unpacking the 'kidcore' trend? x
98% Agree! I think you're spot on with your Trendy v Timeless. Great video!
Yay thank you so much for your lovely comment, Cindy! Means a lot to me that you enjoyed the video. I’m putting together a new 2022 trend analysis video-can’t wait to share with you ❤️🥰
Blazers and long skirts 😍 I love my bucket hats too
I know you’ve got great taste Claudie! The trends you’ve chosen are all super versatile and timeless! ❤️❤️❤️
This video means so much to me, because for a long time, I didn't have money to be trendy, the second I got money, I was obsessed with these Tik Tok Trends, and they were way too hard to follow. Especially being in Australia. By the time the clothes even got here, there was a new trend. I wasted so much money, I wish someone had told me to shop more sustainably. Undoing the habits took forever.
Awww thank you so much for sharing your story, Rubi Doo! It means a lot to me that you understand the message I was trying to get across. It really doesn't matter what you like as long as it reflects your personal style. The issue is never the fashion item itself, but the overhyped trends being popularised by social media, which caused a lot of overconsumption (and a lot of fashion anxiety as we all struggle to keep up!) There's absolutely nothing wrong to get a piece or two to treat yourself and make you feel good. It's just about being slower and more considered before we buy into a trend. It took me ages to recaliberate my shopping habits and having conversations like this with you reminds me what's important when it comes to my fashion choices. Thank you! x ❤️
@@vikkipedia_org You're so lovely for saying all that, it really does make me feel so much better about going on a more sustainable journey! Keep making incredible videos, you earned a subscriber with your insight!
@@rubydoo3307 Thank you so much for your support! It means a lot to me! Would you be interested if I make a video on sustainable fashion? x
@@vikkipedia_org Yes, that would be fantastic. It would really help me out!
Don't come after my wedges! 😂
They're on break right now because it's cold, but they will be back haha. Birkenstock makes surprisingly fashionable wedges.
Also, when you live in a cowtown, cow print is life, not trendy. Same with cowboy boots.
Also, I really want to experiment with sheer tights and strappy heels, but it's so anathema in my family I haven't been able to yet.
I have, however started **mixing colors** in an outfit, which is like a fashion revolution in my family. My grandma's outfits are literally always one or two colors head to toe (and undergarments 😆)
Hahaha thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, JIID! I’m smiling as I’m replying! 😆 Wedges are mega cute-I personally haven’t worn my Castañer Espadrilles for aaaaages because they kind of fell out of trend but you’ve inspired me to pull them out again.
I personally don’t think cow print will remain popular in the long run but I totally agree anything can be timeless if you want it to be-the ultimate message I was trying to get across in the video is that everyone should take trends with a grain of salt and rock whatever that’s authentic to their identity and lifestyle. ❤️
I actually think sheet tights and scrappy heels could be an amazing outfit-you should soooo try it! Let me know how you go! Love how you’re experimenting with colours-I’m actually putting together a new 2022 trend analysis video and I’ll be going through the trending palettes! Can’t wait to share with you! 🥰
Great food for thought about overconsumption with fast fashion, it's so easy to get wrapped up in it aye (I felt called out with the bucket hat cos I just got a cord one lol)
Thanks Yoho! I had to make a point coz the trends cycles are moving so fast I can’t keep up. No hate on people consuming fast fashion coz ethical, sustainable fashion isn’t always affordable. But definitely all about choosing the right trends to jump on! Lol I have a cord bucket hat too-it’s all good. I think it’s just the crazy patterns and fluffy ones that are at risk of being outdated 😂
I do like the Tennis Skirt, I just purchased a black and white one. I think it depends on how you use them. I think most items in neutral colors do work in general. Like black skinny jeans
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts, Andyexe! I LOVE your approach! 💖 The problem aren't tennis skirts, it's the way they've been overhyped on social media and the overconsumption as a result. If you're just buying a couple in neutral colours, that's the best way to explore your personal styles without overconsuming! 🥰
I will never give up my wedges or cowboy boots!🙂😀
Absolutely don't give up on your wedges and cowboy boots! The whole point of the video is to get people to think more before they buy into a trend to minimise overconsumption. If you know what suits you, and you're not going to discard the items as soon as a trend finishes, keep wearing what makes you happy! YOU are what makes something timeless! x
I do disagree with the low rise Jean section, I think if you’re looking for the appearance of a flat tummy with low rise jeans they don’t work for A LOT of people, but I think what we should be doing as a society is to get used to seeing different silhouettes on different bodies because that’s realistic and still cute
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! I totally agree-the low rise jeans aren't the issue, it's the way they've been overhyped on social media and popularised by people of a particular body type, which actually sets a pretty unrealistic beauty standard and causes more fashion anxiety. When I was doing my research, I found it extremely difficult to find images of women with different body shapes wearing the low rise silhouette. 😭 Would love to see more representation from curvy girls, WoC rocking the low rise cut! 💖
I love just dressing how I like regardless of trend:))
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! Completely agree-the best way is to not get affected by trends and dress the way that makes you feel comfortable! 🥰🙌🏻
idk abt others but since I discovered denim jackets I haven't stopped wearing them. They are my fall staple, when u know there is just little bit cold but not enough to bring out ur blazres
Hi Sheelu! Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! Speaking of denim jackets, I’m actually putting together a new 2022 trend analysis video and I’ll be talking about denim jackets! Can’t wait to share with you and see what you think! x
really like this kind of video. please make more of this!
Awww thanks so much for your kind comment! You’ve made my day! I’m editing a new 2022 trend analysis video this weekend-can’t wait to share with you! Watch this space! ❤️🥰
I kinda hate that timeless is always just a classic neutral style. All my clothes are colorful and that's timeless to me :)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! That’s cool you’ve got your personal style on lock and you know what you exactly want. But for people that have just started their fashion journey, it’ll be irresponsible for me to push them into buying distinctive pieces. The whole point of the video is to encourage people to think a bit more before they buy into a trend to minimise overconsumption. If colourful pieces reflect your personal style and you’re not discarding them as soon as the trend is over, keep rocking them-YOU are what makes them timeless ❤️
Gotta sat I dont agree with wedges. Absolutely perfect timeless summer shoe, never out of style, always interesting designs
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Anna! Whatever shoe type you're into, as long as the material or shape isn't super distinctive, you can wear them for a long time. Anything could be timeless as long as you want it to be! x
@@vikkipedia_org love that mindset, timeless pieces are relative too :)
One thing I've found with being able to make more trendy items last well past their peak is sticking to a monochrome selection. I only wear black, grey, and a very small amount of white. I have items from all different styles of fashion and having a uniform color palette allows me to mix them together and still be "relevant".
Thanks so much for sharing, Kasandra! What a great trick-it's good to be able to enjoy trend items but get more wear out of them to minimise overconsumption. Putting that in my notes! xx
The first person who spoke the truth about tennis skirts! Thank you!
Thanks C Z! I know my opinion about tennis skirts could be unpopular because they've been extremely popular-especially on social media. It's good to know I'm not the only person that think that way hahaha. Making a new 2022 trend analysis video this weekend and I can't wait to share with you! x
Your deserve more subs, your video was great!
Aw Milka you comment made my day! Thank you so much. I'm preparing the next video to discuss 2022 trends-hope you'll enjoy it too. I'll keep you posted when it goes live x
@@vikkipedia_org Thank you, I’m looking forward to it😊🤩
I honestly love changing my styles idk it's fun and idc abt trends i care about what suits me 🤷♀️
That’s exactly what I was trying to get across in the video-the idea is to get people to think a bit more before they consume so they don’t just blindly follow what TikTok/influencers are telling them what’s ‘cool’. Thanks for understanding the message! ❤️
So great to see a video from you! As someone who is clueless about fashion, this was really interesting! :) love the Ana Luisa pieces too, they’re so pretty! ✨
Aww thanks Sally! I was a little nervous about uploading coz I haven’t done it for so long. So glad you enjoyed the video. You’re awesome-love your work xx

@@vikkipedia_org ayeee great idea, can't wait! gods speed
I think the 2021 wedge shoes are trendy but the old fashion bratz wedge HEELS are super timeless and go with a lot of outfits in my opinion
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Hadassa! I totally agree-some wedge (or I should say platforms) could be timeless. I'm actually making a new video to talk about 2022 fashion trends and platform is a big one. I'm uploading it on Thursday-would love to hear your thoughts! x
If yOu love a item wear IT fuck trends like Skinny jeans fits for me and if the whole world wear flared jeans OR other Pants i still be wear IT bec its easy fit and easy to find it
Couldn’t agree more! The whole point of this video is to get people to slow down the way they consume. Skinny jeans doesn’t work for my figure so personally I’d prefer wearing straight/wide leg bottoms even if skinny jeans are back on trend. If they work well for you, keep wearing them-ultimately, your personal style is what makes an item of clothing timeless ❤️🙌🏻
also blazers - big and chunky are cute but slightly a trend. i do not like tight fitted blazers but i personally would opt for a size just in the middle - big enough to be comfy, small enough to be appropriate to wear to different occasions
Good shout! It's all about having the right balance! ❤️ My personal ideal is to have a blazer that is slightly oversized on the body so it's got a boxier, more high-fashion vibe, but with sleeves that are just right-so the boxy cutting looks like it's been done on purpose as a design cue.
@@vikkipedia_org absolutely!! id def still want a big chunky blazer cause theyre cute regardless
You killed it! 👏👏👏
Thanks so much for your lovely comment! It means a lot to me and it motivates me to keep going! I just made a new 2022 trend analysis video-hope you enjoy it xx ua-cam.com/video/4fKZ-zuWZ-Y/v-deo.html
i really think that chunky/platform loafers are very good, especially for people who are short but still want to look sophisticated and rocking it at the same time. any one can wear platform loafers and it is such a good investment, I'm also earning to buy a goof pair.
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! I totally agree-chunky platforms or loafers definitely have their place in the long run. It’s just about getting the right style and shape i.e. something that aren’t too embellished or ridiculously thick. I love how you’re saving up to buy a good pair instead of getting a few pairs of low quality shoes. I just know you’ll wear them for a long time and they’ll be a timeless investment for you! 🥰 Btw, I just dropped a new 2022 trend analysis: ua-cam.com/video/4fKZ-zuWZ-Y/v-deo.html Would love to know your thoughts and what your favourite trends are! x
Naw love the NZ accent. People some times ask me where in NZ I am from, but I'm just a German girl in Australia lol
Love the editing on the video btw. Very engaging 😃
Aww thank you so much for your lovely comment! It honestly made my night. Judging from your description, I’m sure you’ve got a lovely accent too! 🥰 Btw I’ve just uploaded a new 2022 trend analysis video: ua-cam.com/video/4fKZ-zuWZ-Y/v-deo.html Would love to know what you think! xx
13:03 Crochet
I love yarn so i dont care if its trendy i will be unique and wear them because i personally love them so much and am my own person!
I know hot to knit, want to learn crochet.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I should've been more specific-I don't have an issue with crochet as a handicraft. It will always have a place in fashion. What I have an issue with is the avant-basic crochet pieces that are completely overhyped by influencer marketing, which are unfortunately causing a lot of overconsumption and waste. I totally agree-if an aesthetic or a specific item of clothing represents who you are, it doesn't matter if it falls out of fashion. Because you'll be wearing it beyond the trend and you won't be part of the vicious cycle of overconsumption/overproduction. Keep rocking your crochet pieces-you are what makes it timeless! x
I think whether a piece is trendy or timeless or not also depends on your own personal style. something that I might consider a trend someone else might consider a staple of their wardrobe for many years to come, or vice versa.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, AJ! I absolutely agree-what's deemed to be trendy vs timeless is relative. There's always the 'mainstream' trend that whether we like it or not, sets the tone for the majority. But if something reflects you personal style, nothing should stop you from wearing it! YOU are the one that makes a piece timeless! x
I’m glad to hear this cause there are a lot of pieces I bought and they are timeless phew lol I think my mom helped me figure out that trendy is 100% a no cause I used to love 60% trendy clothes
Sorry I've been on my UA-cam hiatus but I just came back and saw your comment now! I've just dropped a new Trendy vs Timeless video-keen to know what you think :) ua-cam.com/video/perr7ud9dEo/v-deo.html

i agree w basically everything except the socks with sandals. you def have to be real fashionable to pull it off. i just wear mine in the house but never out, plus you might end up buying lots of different colours because it needs to match with your outfit... and i have no time to do that 🤣
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Zee Gee! I totally agree-socks with sandals is a hard look to pull off if you don't have any styling skills. It's totally worth it if you've got a good eye for fashion but for a beginner, I'd advice to experiment styling sneakers with funky socks as a starting point. It's easier to get right! 😆❤️
@@vikkipedia_org right!!
The way this video was recommended to me in the UA-cam algorithm and I see my "Tenniscore" photo three seconds into the video.... the devil works hard but UA-cam works harder

Such an informative video Vik!
Thanks gal! I’m so glad you found it informative-there were sooooo many trends to get through 😂 Btw I think you’re the master of timeless style! ❤️
I love your take on trend vs. timeless and agree with most of them, however I have to disagree with the jeans one. I work as a salesassistant in a little boutique and the thing that I noticed and learned with jeans is: You can't really put a shape of jeans as a trend. (Or better said we shouldn't) It could look not so good on you but look amazing on someone else. A reason why I don't like the jeans debate between the millenials and gen Z. But other than that absolutly love your video!! ♥️♥️
Love this! Thanks so much for sharing, Ansana! It’s awesome to hear your point of view as a sales assistant because you work in the fashion industry-you’d be close to the trends and you’d seeing a lot of customers and the way things fit on them. I completely agree-it’d be great if we just scrap the idea of ‘trend’ completely and instead, wear whatever we look great and feel comfortable in.
And thank you for your lovely comment. It gives me the motivation to make more videos! The idea of Gen Z vs Millennials aesthetic is so fascinating. Do you think it’d be an interesting topic for me to do a deep dive on? ❤️
@@vikkipedia_org Thank you so much for the comment! Absolutly I think the Genz And Millenials deep dive would be cool!♥️
I agree like low waist jeans personally being short that trend is just not for us short ppl

I loveee your energy!!🥰I couldn’t decide between getting the Gucci Horsebit platform loafers or the Prada ones you showed in the video. You’ve convinced me to get the Prada ones as I would for sure prefer to invest in a more timeless piece.
Thanks so much for your support, Shawna! It means so much to me that you enjoyed the video-can't wait to share the next one with you! Ohhhh you've got amazing taste-both loafers look great and I reckon whichever way you go, you'll get a lot of wear out of them and they are great investments! x
i feel like cow print might be versatile enough to BECOME timeless, even if it hasn’t really been before! we’ll see though lol
Thanks so much for sharing your thoughts! I mean, we all thought the leopard print will phase out but it keeps coming back. Who knows? Maybe the cow print can do the same too? I think it’s all about what represents your personal style. If cow print is something you genuinely love and you’re not going to toss it away as soon as the trend’s over, keep wearing it! YOU are the one that makes it timeless! Btw, I just uploaded a new 2022 trend analysis video! ua-cam.com/video/4fKZ-zuWZ-Y/v-deo.html Would love to hear what you think and what your favourite trends are! x
Cowboy boots I think are timeless if styled properly, but that is just me!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Jillian! I agree-cowboy boots could totally be timeless if styled properly! My main concern aren't cowboy boots, but how the cowboy boot trend has been overhyped on social. The point of the video is to get people thinking a bit more before buying into a trend to minimise overconsumption. If something represents your personal style, keep rocking them beyond the trend-YOU are why the item is timeless! x
Skinny jeans have had their place in alternative culture since the 80s. I think the super ultra tight, stretchy, jeggings like skinny jeans are unflattering and dunzo but slim/classic skinny jeans in general will become timeless after the skinny jean hate dies down.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Small Spring Onion! (Such a cute username! xx) I think so too-I think the ultra skinny, jeggings like skinny jeans are not very flattering for my figure personally and they also have a fast-fashion look about them. But the straighter, still skinny-cut jeans with a stiffer fabric will not go out of style!
starts at 4:34
Need this bc i always buy clothes and regretting them later
Thanks for sharing your experience, Vii! I used to buy so much stuff and end up not likely the clothes as soon as the trends cool down-because I didn’t carefully consider whether the cutting or style actually suited me or not. I’m still on the journey of cutting back. It’s all about slowing down and having fun with fashion at the same time! Can’t wait to share my next video with you x
I think at least for thr cowboy boot, it depends on where you live. Here in Texas, they are timeless.
Thanks so much for sharing your perspective as a Texan, Alicia! Totally agree-if an item represents your lifestyle or your personal sense of taste, it really doesn’t matter what trends are out there. Keep rocking them! YOU are what makes them timeless 🥰❤️
I agree with everything 😌
Thanks so much for your lovely feedback! Preparing a new video now-can’t wait to share with you x
first of all i hope this does not come across as rude at all, but the one thing i don’t love abt videos like this is that the creator is always biased to their style. you seemed to label brighter items as “trendy” and neutrals as “timeless” however someone with an eclectic style would say that bright items are a must. i just think that that’s something to watch out for with these videos
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Ava! No worries, you don’t come across rude-your point is absolutely valid.
I do what to explain further about why I chose to make those recommendations in my video. Whilst some neutral items might be playing it too safe or uninspiring for some, as creators, I think we have to extra careful about what we ‘recommend’.
People that have a strong sense of style will most likely take what we say with a grain of salt because they already know what they want-and that’s totally fine. But the people that really need these kind of videos are the ones that are still on the journey of searching their own fashion style, or have a limited budget and need to get items that won’t go out of style easily. They’re looking for guidance and advice.
If they ask me what they should invest in, I would lean towards things that are more versatile and have a longer shelf-life. Even though I also find some avant-basic crochet sweaters and leg warmers cute, telling a fashion beginner to buy up a bunch is just irresponsible. Hope you understand where creators are coming from. ❤️
love this video !! 🤩✨
