What I hate the most about microtrends and their followers is that they take something that is so normal and hyperfixate on it/ overdo it to the point that it makes you sick to your stomach.. never in my 25 years of living did I think I would hate the sight of bows or the colour burgundy so much. They wear something that they associate with "classiness" only to make it tackier than ever
Also i wanna add that a pop a red is actually really cool in my head when you combine it with something other than black or grey… I’m absolutely loving mixing red and blue or red with brown (not the super muted brown more like milk-chocolate shade)
Red is one of my favorite ways to add color… like I did it before the trend and ima keep doing it till it comes back lol. I hate how tacky it looks now, it’s one of my favorite things to do.
I do think it's interesting how real-life trends are usually different from what's trending online. I see the stuff in this video on pinterest alwayyys, but I don't see them usually irl. I'm not in a big city though. The biggest 2024 trends I've noticed on real people is work wear/trucker outfits for men and flare/bootcut bottoms and definitely bows for women. I actually haven't noticed an uptick in bag charms, but in my circles bag charms have always been popular. I've definitely noticed more mullets on men + women. Love your videos!!!
red is my favourite colour to wear and i can't wait until everyone else moves on so it can go back to being MY colour. i think everything comes down to over-saturation... i personally hate the bows so so so so so so so much bc i see so much of it and also there's something about how it's tied to 'i'm just a girl' / 'i'm 30 but still a baby' online culture that makes my eyeballs roll out of my head
It’s ALLLLLLL down to over saturation. And also fast fashion brands making crap versions with no love that go viral bc they give them to all the instagram girls :/
I honestly think none of these are bad 😂 I was getting really fed up with internet trends until I stopped consuming as much content. And honestly, unless you’re in east London all the time, the girls pair trends with whatever is in their wardrobe so it never looks as stale or forced as Pinterest. I’m so glad I’m past caring or hating trends.
where I live you can literally see clones wearing the same hairstyle (the slick-back bun), the same earrings (gold hoops), the same mini bag, sneakers, jeans, crop top, now in the winter the fur jacket/coat... It's like seeing the same person over and over and over, it creeps me the hell out.
You are the first person on the internet I see hating on cowboy boots. I want more of that. I’ve always hated them and they ruin every outfit (unless you’re rocking a denim cowboy fit I guess but I hate denim too but that’s my problem). Thank you that’s it.
I'm totally biased as a daily cowboy boot wearer BUT I think it depends on who is wearing them. They don't look costumey on people I know imo because we have outdoor jobs and live on farms in the country, so they blend in with the rest of the look. But I understand where you're coming from when I see people wearing cowboy boots that look really out-of-place with their vibe, like those luxury pointy boots on white-collar people in cities. I don't hate that, but it does seem kind of kitschy/too online
I have cowboy boots and I only wear them under bootcut jeans. I don't like how they look otherwise. If most of theboot isn't covered, I won't wear them with the outfit lol
@@fungipilled that’s so true. Like I said, if you’re wearing a western outfit or like sturdy dungarees on a farm somewhere that’s the right place and the right time. But people pairing it with frilly white dresses.. that’s a no for me! But to anyone who likes it, I can’t stop anyone haha.
I like the idea of these ‘year undressed’ videos; it’s interesting (and kinda sad tbh) seeing all the microtrends that have occurred over the year. I’m convinced some of these are social experiments because the bloomer trend and wearing a tartan miniskirt over baggy jeans outfits look ridiculous. It was great to hear you thoughts, I hope you a lovely rest of the year x
Yo i'm not hatin and I agree with you mainly on the point that things which don't even look bad and naturally evolved in some people's styles get a big ick because they're overdone to death only so that the wearer can fit in and be 'cool'. But some things I can't help but get the feeling that you just hate on them cuz they're trendy to set urself apart, u know. For example the bloquette stuff, of course if it's this overaccessorized, overly polished version it also gets the ick from me, but for some gals it just naturally evolved to their kind of clothing and look, even you are wearing men's sport jumpers paired with traditionally feminine associated clothing, maybe that's your version of bloquette even if it's different. My point is maybe these trends can be seen more broadly than we think and the thing that should get the hate is the trend cycle and hypebeasting itself. Personally, I'm thankful for some trends because they gave me the opportunity to get some pieces and rediscover my own style through wearing them. Again, not hating this is just an opinion! :)
Thank you so much for sharing!!! I love your comment sm you are a better person than me lol I just have a pessimistic view on everything. Let me assure you, I am always always honest and my opinions are always what I believe when I say them, contrary to what you may think regarding me hating things just to be different (#notlikeothergirls) I think that most people are too scared of being different and expressing disdain bc generally it’s not business friendly. There’s no way these fashion girls like all these trends, but they have to SAY they do bc they’re either getting paid to wear them or trying to get paid to wear the next thing. This is why I haven’t accepted a sponsor yet, I value my integrity and don’t want to promote anything I don’t believe in. Honestly, I am just inherently a hater hahaha. But honestly thank you so much for writing bc it allows me to explain myself!! I hope you have the best day xxxxxxx
What I learned from this video: Fashion is fickle and so are we The more ubiquitous a trend, the more cringe-worthy it becomes Self-confidence is our best protection against superficial trend box-ticking
lol no one is allowed to watch any of my other videos where I have said I want all of these things . I am very fickle I change my mind all the time and this is what I thoght that morning that I was filming . U best believe I will love everything again in 3-5 business days ;)
pop of red trend is so sad tho bc as someone who loves red and has ALWAYS loved red ppl making it a trend will make me look like i just followed a trend and don’t truly love it, and when the trend is “over” my outfits will be considered outdated which is so so sad bc i just love and shade of red 😓😡💔
same :( my wardrobe is basically only black and the only colour i like to wear is red and now i worry people think i am chronically online!! pls babe i don’t even use ig!
You honestly make me laugh so much. I’m 40 years old and at this point I don’t really have a fashion sense as I only really own my boring teacher clothes, gym clothes and a selection of waterproof coats, but I listen so intently because your views and presentation always makes me smile. Thanks.
I’m a farmer and a cowgirl so the boots ain’t a trend for me , it always made happy and giggle that fashion girls were into them. but I get seeing something so much you began to disdain for it. :) 😂
Honestly, I’m a maximalist and I agree with you on everything except the bag charms, the bloomers, and the layering, though I will say that the reason I disagree is that I’ve been doing these things for years now, and that’s just a part of the way I dress. If people are just doing it for the trend I can see how these wouldn’t be well incorporated
There’s DEFINITELY exceptions , if your bag charms hold real meaning I think it’s super cool, like a way of showing ur love for a hobby round with u lol . And I think if the layering is done in a way that isn’t a Pinterest ‘every trendy item and every piece of jewellery’ way then it’s def cute . I follow loads of people with a maximalist leaning style and may I be ignorant enough to say you can tell the difference between people who are doing it bc it is a trend and the people who authentically dress like that. Ganni blouse, checkered skirt and baggy jeans is just trend on trend on trend for me and I can’t help but dislike it oops eeeee I know I’m a hater im sorry lol xxxxxxxxx
Could you make a video on how to style theese trends in a better/different way? In a way that we, who have purchased any of these trends could still wear them, instead of throwing them away/donating them? (I kinda feel like this video will make people not wear these trends anymore, which is a shame since they have already purchased them. I, for example like to participate in trends (however only bying secondhand) but feel so quickly outdated when I see videos like these, so I would love to see a video suggesting on how to wear "outdated trends" in a different way
I think maybe stopping yourself from looking at inspo and just have a fun try on at home and pair it with stuff and see how you feel. Styling it in the way that comes naturally to you will make it unique and personal.
I so agree with your comment. This will just push the trend cycle to move faster. Also I don't understand why everyone wants to be quirky so bad. Maybe it's because I was always seen as the weird kid that I just don't care about anything, like if I'm dressed in the most basic way I don't care. But it does annoy me that people will hate on what was recently trending because sometimes those things were items I've always been wearing so like :/ what am I meant to do? Throw it away bc some internet influencer was wearing it non stop? Bc even in metropolitan cities if you're in the most normal places you'll mostly see working people that are not wearing these trends, you'll spot like 1 influencer at most.
You know what... I was almost with you about cowboy boots until I remembered another content creator here I think Phoebe Taylor mentioned in a video about where to find fashion inspo outside of Pinterest (she also shouted you out in the video haha) how she saw them styled in a fashion coffee table book. It was a Ralph Lauren look and the cowboy boots were styled with skinny jeans, a white ribbed tank top and a cowboy hat. Doesn't sound groundbreaking but they were styled in a way that *makes sense* and it actally looked so good. Simple but effective. I think a big part of what made the 2024 cowboy boot trend horrendous is that they were purposely being paired with garments and in outfits that made absolutely no sense because of the current trend of juxtaposing aesthetics within a single outfit. I think the way they were done in 2024 is horrendous (and therefore it belongs in the 'very bad' tier for 2024 fashion wrapped) but I think there's potential for it to be done well in 2025, so arguably it could also belong in 2025 worthy? O.o I don't think i'm opposed to seeing more cowboy boots paired with a simple pair of skinny jeans or boot cut jeans and tank tops and baby tees, instead of like...puff sleeve cottagecore dresses haha Here's the video if you're interested in checking it out, the outfit is shown at 2:22 ua-cam.com/video/2WleKJZLCaw/v-deo.html Great video as always! ❤
Agreed. I like to wear my scruffy white cowboy boots with jeans and a white t-shirt and I think it's sort of elegant. Although I have to be in a special mood to wear them because they are slightly out of place in the city, haha.
Ive always loved bag charms but you are absolutely right abt them as a trend and i luv your videos cause even if ppl disagree with what youre saying you make really good eloquent points abt these things in the context of microtrends. The thing about charms/keychains which influencers don’t seem to get is the subcultural background or function of them cause if you’re buying these bootlegs off shein/temu then they are tat. But the idea of over-accessorising comes from gyaru, kawaii and other japanese/harajuku fashion subcultures where your choices of keychains, characters, colour palettes etc are communicative of your interests… ppl who are actually into collecting characters plushies (eg hello kitty but there are wayyyy more sanrio/san-x characters) do it out of love for the character and for keychain collecting, and hanging them from your bag is a means of displaying your collection in public to find others who share the same interests. Compared to influencers who are buying tons of these ‘curated’ knockoff bag charm sets simply to put on their bags for the trend and which will likely be thrown away afterwards because they may be cute but there’s no sentimental value to them. If i’m not wearing a charm on my bag then they are safely and lovingly being displayed in my room at home which i think most ppl into kawaii stuff will agree with. And i think your points about cowboy boots and bloquette tie into that because when people are focusing on form over function with their clothes/accessories they end up wearing things either all the same way, or in ways that feel really microtrendy, but i think these things look great on people whose clothes reflect their lifestyle because the secret sauce is that your clothes should represent you
I think all of these are salavable with the right styling (except the mindless layering/blokette...since those are aesthetics vs an individual piece). This is an era of nothing truly being out. But taste being the predominant indicator of whether the outfit will be successful.
i hatee that ppl only buy keychains just for a trend. i actually like keychains for example i have a cutee robot thing from a space exhibit i went to. but if ur going to dress up do it authentically and personally
Do you actually see people wearing red out and about? Because I live in a metropolitan city and all people wear is basically just black and grey. I personally like to wear red and bright colors to bring in some cheer lol
The other 99% of videos on my channel are v nice I promise :’( im not quite sure where you felt I was being misogynistic , I can assure you it never even crossed my mind xxx
It feels like people and especially brands turn it into almost like a challenge of who can but the most amount of bows on something "unusual" to get others peoples attention.
not that anyone asked, these are my predictions for 2025: - deer print will become the new leopard print with the fashion girlies - everyone will be wearing barefoot orthopaedic shoes… i fear tabis may become mass produced also which is very sad - swag era will come back specifically bape hoodies, domo, perhaps even paul frank. also rage comics and early internet stuff will be on t shirts - with the whole sonny angel trend and womp starting a 3d printing service, everyone is going to start making their own figurines and their own unique bag charms which would be cool if true
Hate bows, charms but I do own a pair of Frye boots that I’ve had for over 10 years now so they’re broken in 😂 they’re not cowboy boots though rather they are riding boots so they’re very comfortable. ❤ your vids. Keep them coming!
i think watching your videos helps me to manage my desire to buy clothes, because i ADORE collecting pieces but you've made me so much more mindful of when I'm leaning into a trend and how to identify my influences etc etc, fav youtuber🫶🫶🫶 edit: everytime you mention the fur cuff coat i feel worried cos i hate leaning into trends and one of my best coats is a long suede coat with fur cuffs, BUT it does have a hood so unique feature maybe
I honestly agree with all of them, except the speedcat ones but that’s because little me always worn them ( so I’m not sure if my opinion is very filtered lolz) and I have them in pink white so they don’t remind me of the samba at all. As always a lovely video you never disappoint🫶
Pls i actually agree, that one was mostly a personal thing bc I just KNOwwwwWwwWWw they aren’t my thing. On other people I can get on with them but they are just soo not me lol . Have the best day xxxxx
I absolutely love all these trends, (except leopard print) but i find it so refreshing seeing that you hate them all 😂 funny as hell too! keep de-influencing your audience from stuff they wont like one year from now PERIOD
I absolutely agree with the three first trends (cuz I was one of those who wrote them in your ig story) Im sosososo sick of most of the 2024 trends, it was overwhelming this year
I think those bloomers are a safe option for those who want smith short but don’t want to wear a miniskirt. My heart shattered a bit when u but bloomers in very bad :( . But I understand , some bloomers are styled in a very contrast manner which I don’t like ,it’s so mismatching 😢 anyways lovely video ❤❤❤xoxo
Oooo noo, I've been super in to cherry red square front boot heels, with a red knotted bonnet scarf and super baggy Ts. But I suppose the difference Is I'd NEVER pair it with grey.
@@ashleighcallaghan yes styling it the exact same way every time, like everyone else, it becomes devoid of the freedom of the personal style element. I see you now! Xxxx
I see them in summer all the time , tbh can see their practicality in hot weather but lol I would just wear a plain pair of shorts bc heaven forbid the old ladies in sainsburys think I’ve forgotten to put my trousers on :’)
The bow in front is definitely a pretty thing! I dunno if you've seen Tyla in Sabrina Carpenter's Nonsensical Christmas but her Bow/Present Top definitely fits her perfectly!!
@ yeah! Like a big old belted coat with a grand collar and shoulders. We had cropped outwear for a while and I think we are overdue for a return to the bold structural outwear moment
Yo Ashley I just wanted to say I’m a dude and I’m thinking of wearing capris, pretty sure I’ll be changing the game when I eventually to bust them out but just wanted to know you’re opinion on this little stunt
Pls pls tell me more I’m so interested in how you would wear them !! I’m thinking slim fitting but not tight black cargo capri with black socks and black trainers Or OR oRrrR maybe chino type capri coded thing ??? But pls whatever you do , no socks and loafers eeeee . Maybe boots as well would be cool !??? Idk man pls give me more !!
Okay so I think you might be cooking with the slightly on the relaxed side cargo capris but hear me out I was thinking black pin stripe skinny capris with low top brown "trainers" and and high socks with a ralph lauren t-shirt just to keep it chill.
Warching you makes me laugh becuase we have completely different styles but i agree with you on so many things. Especially on the bag charms and layering one. I like bag charms but only because of my vintage brooch collection that otherwise would just adorn my desk. I also only like it laying a dress or tunic top over pants. I can admire outfits with different color skirts layered over, but it looks off to me. If i had to choose, i definitely align on the more maximalist side of the spectrum (slightly off center) as a result of the fact thaylt i am Nigerian and have a unfortunately large vintage sweater collection *cough*. I like prints. And overalls Regardless, love watching you. (As a fellow skinny calf person, i also only really like slim boots. If they don't fit close i have to at least have a long skirt covering the top so no one can tell)
I love when people KNOW what they like, I think the reason why I dislike all these trends is because I find them so inauthentic. I don’t have to have the same style as someone to enjoy their outfit or appreciate their fashion taste , but with these trends I can’t help but think they are being worn as a marketing technique or business strategy bc how can like 10 influencers wear the exact same outfit and take a picture crossing the road in the exact same way and all be authentically saying leopard print AND skirt over pants AND pop of red AND cowboy boots are ‘their style’ yk ?? You sound like you have the same thoughts on fashion as me, so glad you’re here xxxxxx
If the internet ever DaREs start to make anything I wear religiously a trend I will pass away . Fr like pls i liked it before it was cool I swear (side eyeing the miu miu glasses atm)
I guess there’s many reasons, different for each one. when you see the same thing over and over and over it feels so impersonal and inauthentic , it’s more a way of how they make me feel than the way they look I guess. I think it runs true when you have things like leopard jeans and temu charms because these things have obviously been created to make money and bought to be trendy. I think it is a way of the fast fashion industry exploiting our insecurities and our need to fit in. And then there’s the idea that I mainly see these things being worn by influencers who are paid to wear trendy outfits as their job, I guess it adds to the inauthenticity . I’m not trying to be negative for the sake of being negative , I’m really sorry if I upset you :’( xxxx
i absolutely hate microtrends so much because they made the jersey OF MY COUNTRY (brazil) overdone, now I cannot wear something that I have been wearing since I was a kid because of a stupid trend. mad!!!!
with the bag charms, I cannot believe that people wouldn't rather eclectically put together their own charms, keyrings, and even stuffed animals or ribbons!! the whole point is to be unique w it :((
first time watching this kind of video where i agree with every single rating. this entire year was just a one huge fashion crime and i didn't want to participate in a single trend. and you know the very people spreading those trends will be clowning on them one year in the future once they realise how terrible it all was
I understand all your opinions to be honest but I think the problem of most of them as a trend isn't the style itself but the way people bring them to life. people will buy a bunch of charms from shein or aliexpress and add them to their fast fashion trendy bag that they will stop using in a few months when it isn't trendy anymore. in my case, I gave a new life to a bunch of random trinkets I had all over my house and my parents', things I loved but didn't really have an actual purpose, and turned them into bag charms. not saying that my way is better than other's buuut I feel it's the overconsumption and lack of a touch of own personal style that ruins these trends.
am I the only one that's bothered by how negative this is? I usually love the content but this is the epitome of what I dislike in the fashion community
Just being real :’) do the fashion community really like all those trends or are they just being paid to wear them and maintaining a media friendly personality that brands will want to sponsor. This is not my job I don’t get paid so I can be real , the influencers whose job it is to get you to buy clothes will obviously tell you they like those clothes . Also i hate everything hehehehe
Me too! Also calling red a “pick me” color in the comments just feels so pretentious. The whole thing feels a little superior. I’ve seen other creators discuss their likes and dislikes without being so insulting
@@ashleighcallaghaneven though this video wasn’t hitting for me personally, I’m still glad you always challenge your audience to think critically about their consumption. I respect that about you
if u buy charms and pins off shein u should be put on a watchlist. collect them over time and keep memories wherever u go
I agree 100%
Couldn’t be more right

I follow loads of people with a maximalist leaning style and may I be ignorant enough to say you can tell the difference between people who are doing it bc it is a trend and the people who authentically dress like that. Ganni blouse, checkered skirt and baggy jeans is just trend on trend on trend for me and I can’t help but dislike it oops eeeee I know I’m a hater im sorry lol xxxxxxxxx
Could you make a video on how to style theese trends in a better/different way? In a way that we, who have purchased any of these trends could still wear them, instead of throwing them away/donating them?
(I kinda feel like this video will make people not wear these trends anymore, which is a shame since they have already purchased them. I, for example like to participate in trends (however only bying secondhand) but feel so quickly outdated when I see videos like these, so I would love to see a video suggesting on how to wear "outdated trends" in a different way
I think maybe stopping yourself from looking at inspo and just have a fun try on at home and pair it with stuff and see how you feel. Styling it in the way that comes naturally to you will make it unique and personal.
That’s such a good idea o my you’re so right pls that’s going right on my list ty ty
I so agree with your comment. This will just push the trend cycle to move faster. Also I don't understand why everyone wants to be quirky so bad. Maybe it's because I was always seen as the weird kid that I just don't care about anything, like if I'm dressed in the most basic way I don't care. But it does annoy me that people will hate on what was recently trending because sometimes those things were items I've always been wearing so like :/ what am I meant to do? Throw it away bc some internet influencer was wearing it non stop? Bc even in metropolitan cities if you're in the most normal places you'll mostly see working people that are not wearing these trends, you'll spot like 1 influencer at most.
You know what... I was almost with you about cowboy boots until I remembered another content creator here I think Phoebe Taylor mentioned in a video about where to find fashion inspo outside of Pinterest (she also shouted you out in the video haha) how she saw them styled in a fashion coffee table book. It was a Ralph Lauren look and the cowboy boots were styled with skinny jeans, a white ribbed tank top and a cowboy hat. Doesn't sound groundbreaking but they were styled in a way that *makes sense* and it actally looked so good. Simple but effective. I think a big part of what made the 2024 cowboy boot trend horrendous is that they were purposely being paired with garments and in outfits that made absolutely no sense because of the current trend of juxtaposing aesthetics within a single outfit.
I think the way they were done in 2024 is horrendous (and therefore it belongs in the 'very bad' tier for 2024 fashion wrapped) but I think there's potential for it to be done well in 2025, so arguably it could also belong in 2025 worthy? O.o I don't think i'm opposed to seeing more cowboy boots paired with a simple pair of skinny jeans or boot cut jeans and tank tops and baby tees, instead of like...puff sleeve cottagecore dresses haha
Here's the video if you're interested in checking it out, the outfit is shown at 2:22 ua-cam.com/video/2WleKJZLCaw/v-deo.html Great video as always! ❤
Omg im going to check it out !! Thank you for the recc !! I hope you have the best day xxxx
@@ashleighcallaghan Thank you! :D
Agreed. I like to wear my scruffy white cowboy boots with jeans and a white t-shirt and I think it's sort of elegant. Although I have to be in a special mood to wear them because they are slightly out of place in the city, haha.
Ive always loved bag charms but you are absolutely right abt them as a trend and i luv your videos cause even if ppl disagree with what youre saying you make really good eloquent points abt these things in the context of microtrends. The thing about charms/keychains which influencers don’t seem to get is the subcultural background or function of them cause if you’re buying these bootlegs off shein/temu then they are tat. But the idea of over-accessorising comes from gyaru, kawaii and other japanese/harajuku fashion subcultures where your choices of keychains, characters, colour palettes etc are communicative of your interests… ppl who are actually into collecting characters plushies (eg hello kitty but there are wayyyy more sanrio/san-x characters) do it out of love for the character and for keychain collecting, and hanging them from your bag is a means of displaying your collection in public to find others who share the same interests. Compared to influencers who are buying tons of these ‘curated’ knockoff bag charm sets simply to put on their bags for the trend and which will likely be thrown away afterwards because they may be cute but there’s no sentimental value to them. If i’m not wearing a charm on my bag then they are safely and lovingly being displayed in my room at home which i think most ppl into kawaii stuff will agree with. And i think your points about cowboy boots and bloquette tie into that because when people are focusing on form over function with their clothes/accessories they end up wearing things either all the same way, or in ways that feel really microtrendy, but i think these things look great on people whose clothes reflect their lifestyle because the secret sauce is that your clothes should represent you
I think all of these are salavable with the right styling (except the mindless layering/blokette...since those are aesthetics vs an individual piece). This is an era of nothing truly being out. But taste being the predominant indicator of whether the outfit will be successful.
i hatee that ppl only buy keychains just for a trend. i actually like keychains for example i have a cutee robot thing from a space exhibit i went to. but if ur going to dress up do it authentically and personally
also ash would look amazing with a giant bow on her head likee cindy lou who core
babe wake up ash posted
Tell ur friends 🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙🤙
I completely agree with you on the red. I am so so so done with that colour.
Do you actually see people wearing red out and about? Because I live in a metropolitan city and all people wear is basically just black and grey. I personally like to wear red and bright colors to bring in some cheer lol
@@ashleighcallaghan Such a not like other girls typa comment. Sometimes your analysis has undertones of misogyny
That comment was very much meant as a joke. I have never used the term in general life.
The other 99% of videos on my channel are v nice I promise :’( im not quite sure where you felt I was being misogynistic , I can assure you it never even crossed my mind xxx
I‘m with you on bows, honestly can’t wait until they’re no longer on literally everything in order for me to enjoy them again.
This is exactly it , I think I only hate them bc they’re everywhere , once we stop going so hard on them I think they’ll be cute again :)
It feels like people and especially brands turn it into almost like a challenge of who can but the most amount of bows on something "unusual" to get others peoples attention.
The forest moss green jumper looks absolutely divine on you! Loved the video as usual 11/10 on opinions
Love you more xoxoxoxoxoxxo have the best day xxx
not that anyone asked, these are my predictions for 2025:
- deer print will become the new leopard print with the fashion girlies
- everyone will be wearing barefoot orthopaedic shoes… i fear tabis may become mass produced also which is very sad
- swag era will come back specifically bape hoodies, domo, perhaps even paul frank. also rage comics and early internet stuff will be on t shirts
- with the whole sonny angel trend and womp starting a 3d printing service, everyone is going to start making their own figurines and their own unique bag charms which would be cool if true
i agree so much with the deer print
Hate bows, charms but I do own a pair of Frye boots that I’ve had for over 10 years now so they’re broken in 😂 they’re not cowboy boots though rather they are riding boots so they’re very comfortable. ❤ your vids. Keep them coming!
you are so right about every single one of these fr
i think watching your videos helps me to manage my desire to buy clothes, because i ADORE collecting pieces but you've made me so much more mindful of when I'm leaning into a trend and how to identify my influences etc etc, fav youtuber🫶🫶🫶
edit: everytime you mention the fur cuff coat i feel worried cos i hate leaning into trends and one of my best coats is a long suede coat with fur cuffs, BUT it does have a hood so unique feature maybe
NEW VID HUZZAH!!!! love seeing your channel grow queen!
I’ve always hated animal print on anything 😭 (pinkpantress and cheetah girls being the exception )
It's goood you don't run behind the trends and you have pretty style 😀
I honestly agree with all of them, except the speedcat ones but that’s because little me always worn them ( so I’m not sure if my opinion is very filtered lolz) and I have them in pink white so they don’t remind me of the samba at all. As always a lovely video you never disappoint🫶
Thank you so much !! I hope you have the best day xxx
Girl ily but Frye boots are timeless 💔
Pls i actually agree, that one was mostly a personal thing bc I just KNOwwwwWwwWWw they aren’t my thing. On other people I can get on with them but they are just soo not me lol . Have the best day xxxxx
This was very funny, dare I say cheeky, also. The honesty brought that out so cheers for this video 😂
i don´t have the same oppinion on almost everything but i liked ur video sm that now im subscibed lool
girl you never disappoint ✨️
I try my best :’)
idk if your gonna see this but i genuinely love your videos sm and you literally made my day by posting this 😭
I see everything heheheheheeh thank you so much I hope you have the best day xxx
Loving the charts and graphs 📉📈📊🆒🧐👌🏻✨🦋🦋🦋
i came here just to tell you that you inspired me to get the glasses that i wanted since yours looked very pretty on you
I absolutely love all these trends, (except leopard print) but i find it so refreshing seeing that you hate them all 😂 funny as hell too! keep de-influencing your audience from stuff they wont like one year from now PERIOD
Doing it 4 u 🫶
Happy the bow trend is here to stay. When its simple it's wayyyy more effective instead of plastering them everywhere
I love love love your videos they got me through finals week
So so happy to be of service xxxxx
And good luck !!!
I absolutely agree with the three first trends (cuz I was one of those who wrote them in your ig story) Im sosososo sick of most of the 2024 trends, it was overwhelming this year
Same same same omg
It's a good day already when my favorite youtuber uploads video:)
Ur a cutie pie ty ty xxxx
i love your glasses!
Ah thank you so much xxxx
I think those bloomers are a safe option for those who want smith short but don’t want to wear a miniskirt. My heart shattered a bit when u but bloomers in very bad :( . But I understand , some bloomers are styled in a very contrast manner which I don’t like ,it’s so mismatching 😢 anyways lovely video ❤❤❤xoxo
Looking stunning as ever 💗🫶
Stop ur a cutie 🫶🫶🫶
u r my new fav ytber U ARE SO COOL
Pls im in lov w you 💘💘💘
@@ashleighcallaghan im gonna brag abt this reply to all my friends
Oooo noo, I've been super in to cherry red square front boot heels, with a red knotted bonnet scarf and super baggy Ts. But I suppose the difference Is I'd NEVER pair it with grey.
It’s when you see the SAME EXACT THING over and over :/
@@ashleighcallaghan yes styling it the exact same way every time, like everyone else, it becomes devoid of the freedom of the personal style element. I see you now! Xxxx
hiii ash! love ur videos byee
Hi!! Love u too :) have the best day xxx
found your channel randomly last week and im hooked
I'll always love leopard print, but the best time to wear it is when everyone's stopped, so you don't look trendy
Couldn’t be more right
Omg I’m so ready for another banger - i need a cup of tea 💗
I’ll put the kettle on !!
I really enjoyed watching this video ❤
Bloomers come back every some years and I’ve still never seen anyone wear them irl
I see them in summer all the time , tbh can see their practicality in hot weather but lol I would just wear a plain pair of shorts bc heaven forbid the old ladies in sainsburys think I’ve forgotten to put my trousers on :’)
I Hated like... every trend this year I fear.
Just wait lol
The bow in front is definitely a pretty thing! I dunno if you've seen Tyla in Sabrina Carpenter's Nonsensical Christmas but her Bow/Present Top definitely fits her perfectly!!
Re: outwear, I foresee a return of a great big wool coat, because it’s texturally opposed to a fur coat but has the same huge visual impact
Interesting !! Like wool trench ?
@ yeah! Like a big old belted coat with a grand collar and shoulders. We had cropped outwear for a while and I think we are overdue for a return to the bold structural outwear moment
bro hates everything
I don’t care if I live or die tomorrow lol
I loved this video. Thanks!
Pleasure :))
good morning ash nationnnnn

WOOOOO ANOTHER VID MY DAY IS MADE
Heheheeh have the best day xxxx
Yo Ashley I just wanted to say I’m a dude and I’m thinking of wearing capris, pretty sure I’ll be changing the game when I eventually to bust them out but just wanted to know you’re opinion on this little stunt
Pls pls tell me more I’m so interested in how you would wear them !! I’m thinking slim fitting but not tight black cargo capri with black socks and black trainers Or OR oRrrR maybe chino type capri coded thing ??? But pls whatever you do , no socks and loafers eeeee . Maybe boots as well would be cool !??? Idk man pls give me more !!
Okay so I think you might be cooking with the slightly on the relaxed side cargo capris but hear me out I was thinking black pin stripe skinny capris with low top brown "trainers" and and high socks with a ralph lauren t-shirt just to keep it chill.
Yay I needed a video to watch while I’m eating
Bon appetit
I love your videos so much xx
I love you so much !!!
Warching you makes me laugh becuase we have completely different styles but i agree with you on so many things. Especially on the bag charms and layering one. I like bag charms but only because of my vintage brooch collection that otherwise would just adorn my desk. I also only like it laying a dress or tunic top over pants. I can admire outfits with different color skirts layered over, but it looks off to me.
If i had to choose, i definitely align on the more maximalist side of the spectrum (slightly off center) as a result of the fact thaylt i am Nigerian and have a unfortunately large vintage sweater collection *cough*. I like prints. And overalls
Regardless, love watching you. (As a fellow skinny calf person, i also only really like slim boots. If they don't fit close i have to at least have a long skirt covering the top so no one can tell)
I love when people KNOW what they like, I think the reason why I dislike all these trends is because I find them so inauthentic. I don’t have to have the same style as someone to enjoy their outfit or appreciate their fashion taste , but with these trends I can’t help but think they are being worn as a marketing technique or business strategy bc how can like 10 influencers wear the exact same outfit and take a picture crossing the road in the exact same way and all be authentically saying leopard print AND skirt over pants AND pop of red AND cowboy boots are ‘their style’ yk ?? You sound like you have the same thoughts on fashion as me, so glad you’re here xxxxxx
I disagree on so many aspects but I really enjoyed your video keep it up
You don’t have to agree , if you did it would be v boring Hahahaa 💕💕💕💕💕
I've always worn long dresses over pants because I don't want to show my legs and I can't wait for this layering trend to end to feel like me again 😩
If the internet ever DaREs start to make anything I wear religiously a trend I will pass away . Fr like pls i liked it before it was cool I swear (side eyeing the miu miu glasses atm)
i would rlly like to hear why u dislike something bc i do see what ur putting down but I fail to pick it up…💔
i feel like mostly because they are so popular and everyone is wearing these things so now they lose their unique spark ,thats js my opinion tho⭐️
I guess there’s many reasons, different for each one. when you see the same thing over and over and over it feels so impersonal and inauthentic , it’s more a way of how they make me feel than the way they look I guess. I think it runs true when you have things like leopard jeans and temu charms because these things have obviously been created to make money and bought to be trendy. I think it is a way of the fast fashion industry exploiting our insecurities and our need to fit in. And then there’s the idea that I mainly see these things being worn by influencers who are paid to wear trendy outfits as their job, I guess it adds to the inauthenticity . I’m not trying to be negative for the sake of being negative , I’m really sorry if I upset you :’( xxxx
oooohhhh nooo u didn’t upset me I js wanted hear a reason to some items nor do I think ur opinions are negative ;)))💕
eek, you used my joke about frilly underwear at the grocery store 😁😁😁😁😁 LOVE YOU ASHHHH
I DID I DID ALL CREDIT TO YOU lol I read every single one ily ily
i absolutely hate microtrends so much because they made the jersey OF MY COUNTRY (brazil) overdone, now I cannot wear something that I have been wearing since I was a kid because of a stupid trend. mad!!!!
you’re so reliable actually
with the bag charms, I cannot believe that people wouldn't rather eclectically put together their own charms, keyrings, and even stuffed animals or ribbons!! the whole point is to be unique w it :((
She is like a warren buffet but for fashion. An oracle if you will
Net worth goals
first time watching this kind of video where i agree with every single rating. this entire year was just a one huge fashion crime and i didn't want to participate in a single trend. and you know the very people spreading those trends will be clowning on them one year in the future once they realise how terrible it all was
I love how you hate all the Trends, it’s so relatable and funny
The jersey trend was simply egregious. I hope it never makes a return in such an offensive way.
I have red converse and for the love of god, I have never been able to wear them. Its so bad
I like how you’re jamming to American Boy at 8:15
I understand all your opinions to be honest but I think the problem of most of them as a trend isn't the style itself but the way people bring them to life. people will buy a bunch of charms from shein or aliexpress and add them to their fast fashion trendy bag that they will stop using in a few months when it isn't trendy anymore. in my case, I gave a new life to a bunch of random trinkets I had all over my house and my parents', things I loved but didn't really have an actual purpose, and turned them into bag charms. not saying that my way is better than other's buuut I feel it's the overconsumption and lack of a touch of own personal style that ruins these trends.
I love leopard print but I’ve always loved leopard print so it was nice to see so much of it this year 😎 but I’m with you on bag charms. Lame.
I haven’t heard the word lame in so long but why is this just exactly the right word
I feel like the pop of red looks so cute, but it is quite overdone❤️
layering for the sake of layering just seems like a sensory nightmare to me. i really think i am incapable of being a maximalist because of that lol
SAME YOU ARE ME I AM YOU
ash is a certified hater haha, i mostly agree tho
Certified hater through and through
I love how nothing's good, nothing okay haha
🥹
I'm in my 30s and I wore sambas before they were a thing, I loved them, now I hate them.
am I the only one that's bothered by how negative this is? I usually love the content but this is the epitome of what I dislike in the fashion community
Just being real :’) do the fashion community really like all those trends or are they just being paid to wear them and maintaining a media friendly personality that brands will want to sponsor. This is not my job I don’t get paid so I can be real , the influencers whose job it is to get you to buy clothes will obviously tell you they like those clothes . Also i hate everything hehehehe
Me too! Also calling red a “pick me” color in the comments just feels so pretentious. The whole thing feels a little superior. I’ve seen other creators discuss their likes and dislikes without being so insulting
I respect your opinion though, thank you for telling me and I hate to think I might have upset you xxx
@@ashleighcallaghaneven though this video wasn’t hitting for me personally, I’m still glad you always challenge your audience to think critically about their consumption. I respect that about you
I’m so sorry you feel this way , honestly that comment was very much meant as tongue in cheek
newfound respect for you for putting bloquekette in its own circle of awful fashion
Well deserved
I am a Texan and used to seeing western styles and cowboy boots but how some people around the world style them is terrible
They should be riding horses heheheh
love seeing someone hate 2024 fashion trends as much as me 😭
You're such a little hater and I do adore that. ❤
Always xxxx
bloquette is the single worst fashion trend of my whole life so thank you
