i feel like we don't use the term "fashion victim" enough anymore. i think if people were afraid of being perceived as a fashion victim they would be more mindful of what trends they participate in. i don't wanna be like "let's bring back calling people names" but maybe let's bring back the notion that uncritically jumping on every trend isn't the slay people think it is
i feel as though anything trendy is immediately uncool due to the online trend cycle so the only remedy is to dress for yourself and your own style fr, which is what people should be doing anyways 😋 - no more relying on trends and aesthetics!
"do not reduce me to an aesthetic" THIS!!!! I know it's stupid but some days I'll wear an outfit I love and I'll get frustrated because I know it could be fitted in a specific aesthetic that I don't feel represents me and I feel people are going to assume so many things about me just for that? I know I shouldn't care and it's work I have to do myself to wear whatever I want without caring about what people might think (on every level) but ughhhh I don't want to be categorized, especially not as something I'm not, just because of what you see me wearing one specific day.
New clothing is also icky because the fabrics are usually trash nowadays. I get better quality from vintage clothes I find on the street than new clothes from "upscale" brands.
I hate how individuality has become “weird” or “alternative” in the fashion world, when in the past, having a personal style was what fashion was all about. In my opinion, people tend to take trends and run to Uganda with them, overuse them, then they become gross and overused and unpersonalized
I don’t know if that was ever accurate. We wouldn’t be able to delineate different clothing by eras if “personal style” was common. One of the biggest things that has come with fast fashion is variety. Back in the day, you wanted something all the way from New York and you lived in the middle of nowhere you had to wait for it to trickle down into the brick and mortar stores or find a way to sew it yourself… the obsession with personal style is part of the reason that the trend cycle is so quick; everyone is looking for the next best thing to separate them from the rest. Even the decision to find clothes undesirable if they’re too over saturated speaks to the general shift of clothing as a form of communicating social identity to clothing as a form of individual branding.
I love your videos! I also feel that the art that you consume really influences your style. Not scrolling on pinterest anymore but watching movies , shows listening to specific albums as a whole has changed my style!! And also not caring about public perception 💛
I agree with the jaded London part, i do think some of their things look cool but the problem is how they steal aesthetics of people with actually original styles and transform it into generic, fast-fashion quality pieces (and trying the point of making new versions of Vintage clothes in a bad, "trendy" way) They're like the middle point between qualitative high fashion and temu I appreciate your input on this!
You are a lovely sweet girl, I noticed an influencer already talking about spring/summer clothes and color trends. I think it puts too much pressure on everyone and especially you and a few of my other favorites; stay true to yourself ❤️
You're always right about everything. Just so you know, lol. Specifically, I agree about the dupe thing. Not everything needs to be accessible, especially if we are talking about fashion or art. Practically, there are accessible bags, so we don't need to make designer bags accessible. I think people feel entitled to have something if someone else has it.
I don't disagree but the opposite argument would be that fast fashion made fashion accessible to the masses, thereby democratizing fashion, if you will, instead of it only being available to the few. Also, not everyone lives in a city with great vintage options.
@@lja530 but not everyone needs access to great vintage options either. And just because cities have good vintage shopping, doesn't mean it's a necessity. Not everything needs to be accessible to everyone, particularly if that thing is not a necessity. Yes, clothing is a necessity, but owning clothing you like/want is not. Having an abundance of clothing is not. Curating a personal wardrobe is not. Fast fashion capitalizes on the fact that that people want MORE than they need, and they want to have unfettered access to anything they see/want. A Hermes bag will never be accessible to most people. And it doesn't need to be, because owning a Hermes bag is not a necessity or a right.
@@agnaeoh6992 Sure, the pendulum has swung too far in one direction but I sure loved growing up and having options - my city had one H&M when I was a teenager - whereas my mom, in the country, had no options back then. She could have one blouse a year maybe, there just weren't many stores to go to at all. I think it's great people have access to fashion and sorry, but who are you to say wether that's a necessity or not.
I agree with a lot of what you said in terms of like influencing and the explosion of certain trends due to influencers. It can be kinda exhausting to see certain types of garments or items EVERYWHERE and on EVERYONE (that’s how I feel about sambas anyway). I also agree with the categorization thing being kind of annoying too, but then again it’s important not to get too fixated on what other people think, I feel like people should be able to wear what they want without too much fear of judgement. I feel like some days I get labeled as grundgey, girly, minimalist, French chic, and colorful, simply because I own and use certain clothing items (docs, milkmaid tops, jellyfish top or skirt, knee high boots, etc etc) I love having a variety of items that are of different silhouettes or forms simply because I can’t just stick to one thing all the time. People perceive you as someone who can’t stick to one thing or has no style but style is fluid and can change over the years and that’s totally fair, what can be interesting about studying your own style over the years is seeing what has stuck vs what has gone from your style. I personally prefer vintage items as well vs the newer productions, this is mostly because I am picky about silhouette because sometimes the newer productions just don’t take silhouette into consideration (like how you gave the example of the true religion jeans). Personally, what helps me not be as much as a “fashion victim” and picky about what trends I participate in is because I am picky about color, silhouette, and texture. I also like to dress according to what looks good on my body personally (nothing wrong with people who DONT do this but it’s just how I prefer to dress myself). Lots of great points made, seems kinda elitist to some people but idk if fashion should be accessible 🤷♀️ I prefer personal taste, but finding out what you resonate with takes time and can be scary to others especially since the fashion industry sells this idea of being an IT girl to other women as a means to sell certain products.
Solve all these problems in two simple steps: 1) dont consume copious online influences 2) continue to wear the “trendy” item past the two weeks they were popular. Instantly niche an unique again
ive had my eye on so many things but decided to wait it out before buying, and then when i see them on somewhere like stradivarius i cant help but grimace .. like nvm i dont want it anymore
this entire video is js "i dont like when something becomes popular" lol also get that jacket w clasps i promise noone will think of jaded london when u wear it personally it reminds me of my grandma
When I was I 12/13 the adidas superstars were super popular where I lived. I liked them a lot but everyone wanted them in black and white and I HATED following what everyone else did so I bought them in bright pink and white. I’m so different ik ;(, my point being I always hated following what everybody does. I myself dress what you would call hyper feminine or what they call coquette, but I don’t like to label my whole “aesthetic” to coquette because what you said labeling makes it so boring for me I just wear what I like. I just call it my own aesthetic these days
While i understand the sentiments expressed in this video, i simply cannot get myself to care because i dont want to let fast fashion ruin my love of a certain look or peice.
So, I 100% get where you're coming from with the leopard print on jeans situation, because cowhide print on jeans was 100% the precursor and it definitely feels dated now. That said, I feel there's a bit more nuance in the leopard print situation. Leopard print has been much more widely adopted in fashion over many many more trend cycles than cowhide has been. Cowhide has very westernwear influence that hasn't been widely adopted by greater society until a very specific point in time (and was thus thrown onto every cheaply-made Shein garment you could find). Because of this, the longevity of the trend was very poor, and unless someone is wearing an actual westernwear piece with cowhide it comes across as dated. By comparison, leopard print has been widely adopted in general fashion off and on for significantly longer. The applications of the print has changed, but by and large it's been worn much more than cowprint by the average person over the past 60 or 70 years. I don't think the longevity of leopard print jeans will be nearly as bad as the cowprint jeans. Of course there's nuance to be had when you look at the quality and construction of a piece; poorly made Shein leopard print pants will not look good nearly as long as a quality constructed pair of pants, regardless of cut. Anyways your statement just made me think a bit, because the cowprint vs leopard print jean situation felt different to me and I couldn't really place why until now. I really think leopard print overall has better longevity, and if the pants are a fairly neutral shape vs a trendy cut they'll last a lot longer. Cowprint jeans might as well just have "2020" stamped on them somewhere.
I think the best I did for my style was going back to what made me fall in love with the chase the influencers of 2013 were different and there were items I wanted out of hyped with no education of what I was looking at that now looking back at them I’m not in love with the same outfits anymore, I understand the every little elements I fetishized about in my style. And I also think evolving the inspiration process is key listening to creative directors, photographers, David Lynchburgh learning to translate more than just direct inspirations of others outfits but translating landscapes, interior designs, and many other objects even learning about history and character design
Knowing yourself is so so so important and to know when you are being influenced and when you really like something . Style never goes out of fashion xxxx
omg I spent three days trying to find your account and the search bar was so useless. thank you for updating!! I am in need of fashion advice & I love hearing all your takes ♡
I think pinterest is the greatest place for personal style when you dive deep , like really deep in it I agree with the fact that it popularizes certain trends , thats why the term of pinterest girly lost its meaning , but its actually much better than that
I wish I had seen this a few days ago I found a vintage rain coat and loved it, I just had to add a belt BUTTTT then I bought a vintage inspired “ modern jacket from the popular brands these days and yes the new one has a nice pattern and mix of colors , but it’s uncomfortable, and the quality honestly, felt like I had a plastic bag on and it made me sad so I got a second one from a thrift store and I’m hoping that I can customize it a bit( like adding a coat liner and belt and hood to it) which the vintage one already has!! but now I know 😄
i feel like nowadays fashion is constantly being ruined or at least its trends are getting outdated more easily, so maybe we should just stop paying that much attention to social media, unfollow those cringey fast fashion influencers and just enjoy fashion for what it is; a way of expressing ourselves and who we are.
honestly, its not the silhouette I dislike, in fact the silhouette of a baggy jean is possibly my favourite ! but what I dont like is how boring a wide legged plain blue denim jean can be when it is a fast fashion product. to me it feels like brands dont need to put any effort into creating it - so they dont ???? idk if im explaining myself well here ahahahah but I just find that a baggy jean is nothing interesting. but I do like a baggy silhouette , for example a pair of dungarees or dickies would appeal to me more because they are not just a plain up and down no detail pair of jeans ygm ??? hahaha lol in my head it makes sense !!xxxx
4:20 thank you for saying this, I also feel like it doesn’t have the same charm it use to have. To add on (my own opinion) I feel like it’s cheap considering the modified version we have now.. just has “Juicy” rhinestoned onto the back (which I personally think is basic compared to the old graphics/designs it had before). It has the word “couture” for a reason too.
4:26 Same here. New clothes are sadly icky to me also. I dream of finding certain vintage clothes like e. g. a gunne sax prairie dress but they cost crazy money… 😢 EDIT: FOREVER HEART BROKEN OVER THEM NAMING ENGLISH FRAZZLED WOMAN AESTHETIC😢 it’s so my style I’ll wear it anyway but they’ve put a dent in it ..sadly..
### no! preserve the hashtag!! ### i lovee the named aesthetics. there’s millions of them, so it doesn’t feel all-inclusive or particularly identifiable in real life,, just a way to have fun and whip out moodboards with ease
Nothing is exclusive anymore. Uniqueness is dead, fashion is cyclical. Not sure what a gimaguous is, but Sonia Rykiel did those flat studded bags decades ago in her 'Domino' bag...
I love love love your Videos. Im currently in a fashion-consciousness-Journey and learning to represent my personality and identity in fashion. Ive lost these through social media and trends. It would be WONDERFUL if you could make a video about your personal fashion-journey in which you explain what your style tells about you.
In my case, there are a great many influencers that I do not follow. I might see them referred to by a person I DO follow, e.g. you or Kat, but I don't follow them myself. So if 20 influencers are all wearing Sambas, I prob won't know (or care tbh). There's also a category of "influencers" whose style I actually do NOT like. Maybe i just like them as people, or maybe I like to secretly criticize them (just in my mind). I won't name names. Maybe I like their [something] content, but not their fashion content.
the majority of 'modern' juicy drops are abysmal looking. Juicy did make a 'heritage collection' to bring back more of their early 2000s style, but the quality is just not worth the price. Juicys just been on a downward slope since Pam and Gela left the company imo
I’m sorry but this is kind of a miserable point of view lol do whatever you want and dress however you want, why would other people’s choices “ruin” things that you like?
@@nina-w and that’s a totally fair criticism but if something is “ruined” for you just because people are massively consuming it wouldn’t it imply that you’ll stop wearing it, and you become like the people you are criticizing that cycle through clothes just because they’re trendy but in the opposite direction, you stop wearing the clothes that you enjoy because they became trendy. And sustainability aside, I just find it sort of sad that something becomes ruined for you because it’s popular, if i like a trend I’ll consume it in a sustainable way and keep wearing it even when the trend is over, or if I like something it wouldn’t matter to me if it becomes trendy or not
@@sofiabrennan4568 that's absolutely right, well said. at the end of the day personal style ought not to budge based on what other people are and arent wearing
I can relate to mostly of the ideas presented but I really feel disappointed with the "exclusivity" one. You are talking from your privileged position to afford this items something that not everyone can and I don't think is fair being not able to wear something because it's a luxury and unique item. Dupes are fine, overconsumption is the real problem.
That’s not what exclusive means in this context. This is absolutely not a privilege issue- privilege is feeling entitled to own something just because you want to, regardless of how it was made and who it harms.
Oof.. I just ordered some taekwondos, and didn't even know it was popular (i'm not on instaram/tiktok). I just loved the streamlined slim look and I'm lazy so the lace-free pull-on design is what sold me.
“Do not reduce me to an aesthetic.” I’ll remember that.
Mantra :)))
i feel like we don't use the term "fashion victim" enough anymore. i think if people were afraid of being perceived as a fashion victim they would be more mindful of what trends they participate in. i don't wanna be like "let's bring back calling people names" but maybe let's bring back the notion that uncritically jumping on every trend isn't the slay people think it is
the term "microtrend final boss" is going around. there is hope 😌
i feel as though anything trendy is immediately uncool due to the online trend cycle so the only remedy is to dress for yourself and your own style fr, which is what people should be doing anyways 😋 - no more relying on trends and aesthetics!

Sometimes I just want to wear a uniform, but make it the coolest uniform ever, like head to toe Yohji Yamamoto (which I am too poor to buy).
You seem tired. I feel the winter blues coming, do you as well?
SAD girly 🥶xxxxx
the majority of 'modern' juicy drops are abysmal looking. Juicy did make a 'heritage collection' to bring back more of their early 2000s style, but the quality is just not worth the price. Juicys just been on a downward slope since Pam and Gela left the company imo
couldn't agree more
baggy jeans are over tbh...
I’m sorry but this is kind of a miserable point of view lol do whatever you want and dress however you want, why would other people’s choices “ruin” things that you like?
ofc wear what u want but i think her point is that generally all of these points speak to hyperconsumption and the wasteful microtrend cycle
yes ! thank you this was so well articulated xxxxx
@@nina-w and that’s a totally fair criticism but if something is “ruined” for you just because people are massively consuming it wouldn’t it imply that you’ll stop wearing it, and you become like the people you are criticizing that cycle through clothes just because they’re trendy but in the opposite direction, you stop wearing the clothes that you enjoy because they became trendy. And sustainability aside, I just find it sort of sad that something becomes ruined for you because it’s popular, if i like a trend I’ll consume it in a sustainable way and keep wearing it even when the trend is over, or if I like something it wouldn’t matter to me if it becomes trendy or not
@@sofiabrennan4568 that's absolutely right, well said. at the end of the day personal style ought not to budge based on what other people are and arent wearing
New clothings might just be the most basic thing in the whole world
i think talk about abolishing cancel culture before a declaring a trend’s death by association
I can relate to mostly of the ideas presented but I really feel disappointed with the "exclusivity" one. You are talking from your privileged position to afford this items something that not everyone can and I don't think is fair being not able to wear something because it's a luxury and unique item. Dupes are fine, overconsumption is the real problem.
That’s not what exclusive means in this context. This is absolutely not a privilege issue- privilege is feeling entitled to own something just because you want to, regardless of how it was made and who it harms.
Oof.. I just ordered some taekwondos, and didn't even know it was popular (i'm not on instaram/tiktok). I just loved the streamlined slim look and I'm lazy so the lace-free pull-on design is what sold me.
Pls that means u like them FOR YOU not just bc they are a trend !! This is the best way to go fr fr
