Some of these outfits are actually really cute, like sarah michelle gellar in that velvet dress or drew barrymores crochet top. I just hope our current more relaxed mindset on what is 'trendy' and what's not is here to stay, let people experiment and find their own style
I, like many people, am forever scarred by low rise jeans. I still have flashbacks to being in middle school and being unable to find a SINGLE pair of pants that covered my underwear. Lots of crying in the fitting room. This sort of thing is a large part of why I got into thrifting. I'm so glad fashion these days is becoming more relaxed
I very much prefer the attitude of trends being more flexible and allowing people to just continue to wear what they like. I hope that these types of negative articles dictating that (once) popular styles look bad will become less common or at least taken less seriously. Perhaps wishful thinking on my part.
Yeah, people spend years (and money and environmental resources) struggling to find what works for their body, values, and lifestyle. It's kind of rough calling for an actual end to any style that might be how somebody out there makes it work. We don't literally want everybody constantly in a state of stress over what's okay to like/be seen in, much less to be constantly throwing out perfectly good clothes, just because a stranger somewhere is deriving a sense of power from making up a bunch of new rules. I'm always kind of surprised when I run into someone talking about fashion as if everyone is just a blank slate, waiting for the new trends to be stamped onto them each season, or as if there's an actual responsibility (not just a fun matter of curiosity and love for novelty and invention) to stay current. For me, trends mostly mean that I have to wait to have a chance to buy what I already like (though of course what I like is in flux over time, and is definitely influenced by popular media). Sweater vests and waistcoats haven't been a consistent staple of feminine fashion, so it's nice for me when they're on trend, because it means I can maybe find one I really like. But once I do all that work, it only seems natural I'm going to want to keep wearing my vest, y'know? The one thing - and I hesitate to call it a trend, you just saw it everywhere - from the 90s/oughts that I would personally consider banning, because it's basically lazy design and I can't see how it helps anyone, is waistbands and collars that don't go all the way around lol. I had so many tops that I liked nearly everything about, but they had some kind of waistband or a trimmed neck, and to save money the trim only went to the side seams - was only on the front, like you were a paper doll. That drove me nuts, even then!
@@emilyglass6625 I know what you're talking about, for that last part you mentioned where a design doesn't go all the way around. I find that also with prints, knitted items, or embroidered things. It seems odd to me when the embellishment is only on the front and the back is completely different and blank. Sometimes it looks jarring.
Boot cut jeans look good on so many different people... They should come back!! And crushed velvet is pretty. Vests rock. I think the writer of the article jinxed themselves
love bootcut jeans. at this point they're the only one's i wear. like. i own so many. plus i find them way more comfortable around the knees, cuz with skinny jeans my legs feels like they're in sausage casings.
I was around when the 90s, y2k fashions were a thing the first time, and let me tell you, I am so glad we have different rises/styles/cuts of jeans/pants to choose from now. Low rise never fit my body right, and back then you couldn’t find anything but low rise. Now you can actually find jeans and cuts that are flattering on your individual body type, whatever that may be.
Not really, I can't find a proper low rise unless I thrift them. Current low rise are basically mid rise with low rise branding. 9in is not low rise and sits above my navel. I can deal with 8in but 7-7.5in is better for me. When jeans sit at my navel or higher they make me boxy looking, I'm technically an hourglass but my chest and hip measurement is all projection not width and I have a thicker waist despite measuring 12in less than hips and bust and I think my I have a high hip flare.
YES!!!! i mean every body it's different. I'm a short person and i do like a Lot High rise jeans but it doesnt work for me because, well My torso it's short hahaha so, no, no, they do me not favor, and like in every fucking place and store has them and it's annoying, like, please, not everybody can or want to wear the same, please bring every shape of jeans 😭😭😭😭
Actually, high rise is literally the only thing you can buy in stores right now and it looks atrocious on me. I have a shorter torso and it makes my torso look even more stumpy and frumpy. I’ve been searching for low rise jeans for like 4 years now and can’t find them. High rise definitely doesn’t work for everyone and I feel like I’m forced to buy unflattering clothes just because that’s all that stores carry.
@@laurahamilton8868 I think you probably have to go online for low rise, which seems to just be coming into style. Someone up above said it’s not real low rise, which may be true. But options are wider now, not just in rise but I. Cut of jeans too. Hopefully choices keep getting better.
I'm glad that the opinions about fashion have changed to "I don't get this trend but wear it if you want" instead of "this is old and gross, throw it out of your closet". I've regrettably gotten rid of so many pieces that I wish I still had now because of that.
I think the thing that makes me happiest is that this is the most freedom I've seen with denim in a long time. Skinny jeans notwithstanding (though I live in a rural area so many people still wear skinny jeans because they don't follow fashion) you can rock so many types of denim currently! All the different rises and cuts, straight>baggy>cropped>wide-leg>flared. So exciting! I personally am loving a highrise straight or highrise flare. I did the low-rise thing and I am not comfortable with the entire world seeing my underwear any more.
So I’m 33, a size 14, and decidedly not trendy, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but I literally don’t care if people are tired of skinny jeans. I have some in great shape, they’re comfortable, and they’re jeans so…. I’m gonna wear them haha. Also for wearing with boots, they rock!
I find it absolutely hilarious that so many of these trends came back so soon after they wrote this article. It’s nice that fewer people view fashion in such rigid terms anymore! And seriously, how could anyone have an issue with velvet or overalls? Also, your top and hair are so delightfully whimsigoth, Alexa. Love your look!
I love velvet burnout clothes! Velvet has always been a staple in my wardrobe since forever and velvet burnout can create some of the most beautiful, intricate designs I can't believe some people hate it.
So when I was in middle school low rise pants/ jeans were a thing. I had to wear school uniforms but the khakis people wore were still low rise, and even though the shirts would be tucked in, you would still see so many butt cracks all the time when people sat down! I also had to watch out and make sure my shirt didn't come untucked to show crack, and there was no other option for other types of pants at the time... It was bad and I am scarred for life lol.
RIGHT!? How was I, a growing person, supposed to not show my belly when I have to hike my pants up to the point of a numb crotch to just get them to sit on my waist!?
@@IonIsFalling7217 Certain rises will have you with that experience. Its less low rise and moreso the rise being a low measurement number. 6-7in rise will be a different experience than a 8.5 in rise
No one actually wore the leather chaps… it was definitely a music video kinda thing. (I am old enough to remember) pedal pushers are the shorts that go just under your knees.
I mean, I personally agree with a lot of their opinions, but I'm a ~30 year-old lady~ and an aging millennial so Y2K fashion looks gaudy and dated to me, haha. But you're right that HOW you style some of these trends can completely change how they look.
@@rachelcookie321 Most of todays fashion is a modern twist on y2k fashion lol. If not that another decade. Nothing is original. The 2010’s is the most outdated looking fashion to me manly because it doesn’t seem old enough to be vintage
@@casswashwash1070 I wouldn’t say most of it. A lot is still influenced by the 90s and 80s. We’ve pretty much run out of trends that aren’t crazy so that’s why they are just repeating now.
It's not so much we've run out of trends that aren't crazy IMHO, it's that we've run out of trends that can be produced at the price point consumers have come to expect from fast fashion. Similar but subtly different thing.
My style is all over the place just very eclectic and I think people should just wear what ever makes them happy regardless of trends, trends come and go but killer style is forever
It's so interesting how many of these came back in style in the past 2 years. There are so many trends and aesthetics now a days that I feel like almost everything is in style now. Ultimately I think it's a good thing because it's encouraging people to shop secondhand, DIY pieces, and keep things in their wardrobe for longer because it's more accepted to develop a unique personal style.
It’s partly because low rise jeans fit those of us with short torso’s so comfortably (and really aren’t that low). Most low rise jeans hit me right at the belly button due to my short torso. I have missed them so much as it is the most comfortable and flattering style on me. Really enjoyed your video and your lack of judgment even on some of the trends you didn’t care for!
I’ve been seeing a lot of 60s/70s styles come back over the last decade. High-waisted pants, and that halter top are both styles from that era. The boob scarf was just a bad recreation lol
I wore so many of these in junior high (i.e. arm warmers, embroidered jeans, etc.) and BECAUSE I wore them in junior high I can’t do it now, like I do not want to go back to that time in life. That being said, do NOT come for my corsets and velvet!! 😂 (I know this is just someone’s opinion, I hope everyone just wears whatever they want!)
I think someone looked at their old pictures and hated how they looked. I get that feeling, because you always cringe at you younger self somehow... But some of this was cute back then and still is now.
With the uggs is so funny, cause I just bought them. For years I always wanted a pair, especially the one with the buttons. I'm already planning some fun fall/winter outfits with them 🤣. They are super comfortable and I got the one that's waterproof, so I don't have to worry about the cleaning that much. Also you right, what does that person wear? The writter hates almost everything 😭
i agree with the jeans! I have both low rise and high rise jeans, flared, baggy and skinny and i just love all of them and it really just depends on my mood which i wanna wear
As a fiber artist I’ve been so excited for crochet to become recognized as fashion and see more people my age become interested in the fiber arts community
Also I feel like mid rise jeans low-key give a similar ✨vibe✨ as low rise jeans do but look better and they’re somewhat more practical- at least on me :)
I never take fashion magazine articles seriously for this very reason. They always bash actually good clothing, and only sprinkle in a few things that no one would wear. This one reads like a Buzzfeed article lol
I was literally cutting an embroidered denim skirt I thrifted while watching this video. I was shocked! I love them so much, and embellished jeans omg I love them!!
It reminds me about an article "50 worst 60s trends" or something like that. Most of the things listed were stuff I absolutely adore about 60s fashion sooo... Articles like that are extremely opinionated xD
Low rise may be considered to be coming back, but most things labeled low rise currently aren't truly low rise, they are more mid rise, many things being marketed as low rise still have a 9in rise and on me that is still at or above my belly button.
I saw this list a few months ago! I love that you made a video about it. Similarly, I like some things on this list and I don’t like others, but I thought it was crazy how someone was so passionate about hating these articles of clothing!
One of my friends told me skinny jeans are cheugy (sp?) I am almost 30 and live in Minnesota. I like how I look in skinny jeans. And it seems more practical for my location. They are easy to tuck into boots because, most of the time, we need to wear boots cause there is snow on the ground. Before skinny jeans, it was soooo hard to not get the bottoms of your boot cut jeans soaking wet and ripping from dragging in the ground. Maybe a summer Jean I would do bootcut. But I am skinny Jean fan and they are here to stay for me. Edit: spelling
As a 90s high schooler, it’s funny to see 70s revival revival. The 70s were the big decade when I was in school so I see those copy cat clothes all the time now and it’s funny ! But honestly, I’ve NEVER seen such a drive towards nostalgia in my entire life. It mush have something to do with “thrifting.” Now a verb.. incredible! Lol! Ed Hardy! From 17 Again: “You look bedazzled!” “I saw Kevin Federline wearing this EXACT same shirt!” That’s a great movie! 🤣
I’m with you! Is this person okay and what are they wearing right now 😂 also, I love following the idea that whatever is flattering for you and your style you should continue to wear and switch things up when you feel like it not when a trend list tells you too
I work at a tractor dealership so bootcuts are an everyday thing because I have to wear boots to work. But they still give me some shape and they stay on. Also, I just bought a velvet dress that I adore. The shape of it is perfect. It's a high empire waist with a big flair. It gives me great shape.
Love how positive your channel is! I think trends are largely perpetuated by clothing companies who have all too much to gain from us throwing out our clothes every year to buy what’s “hot” at the moment. I really appreciate how you talk about these styles, and how even if they’re not for you, you think other people can make them work and look great.
I wear high rise jeans and also a lot of vintage trousers, I don't generally follow trends unless it's something I really love. As should everyone! I feel like what you said about personal style being in style is so true, I've been cultivating my own style since I wore a bowler hat every day to school when I was 17 lol
I don’t get how Jean styles are tends! I have straight leg, high waist, mid rise, boot cut, boyfriend - those are my 5 pairs in my closet, and they all work for different outfits, it’s not really for a time period lol
I kinda like this era of aesthetics where we can all try things and wear what we like. Low rise is back but it’s more mid rise then low rise. I want low rise soo much. Also I’ve seen so many belly chains and yes I might wear one. Yup velvet is amazing and I love it and it’s never gone out of style.
I don’t really wear trends that often because they come and go all the time !! Love this video keep them coming ❤ I personally love high waisted jeans and mom jean style , I can’t do chokers and turtleneck I can’t stand have anything around my neck!
This summer ive been rocking a visor a lot haha. It's "mom" function/fashion. When i bring my daughter to the park or pool, i want my hair up because its hot and i dont want it getting wet... but need a hat.
So funny. The crochet is big now, people are making scarf tops, im loving burnt crushed velvet with a blazer, I wore a camo top today, slouch socks/leg warmers are cute.
I agree with you on so many of your takes. ☺️ Love chokers too. But those skinny scarfs, I don’t see myself getting back into them, I wore them as a kid, not my thing anymore. 😂
That list you reviewed for us was just one person’s opinion - and I agreed more with YOUR take on most of it than on the writer’s, Alexa! Always wear what makes you happy 🙂 No one, but NO one is probably ever gonna talk me out of wearing my beloved overalls or my UGGs. Or cowboy boots! Oh-oh, my list is getting longer 😉❤️ Thx for the fun video, Alexa❣️
I think some take aways from this article are: fashion is cyclical, wear what makes you feel great. Also if you try to wholesale import a trend from 2001 you could look like fashion roadkill... Make that any decade.
Oh I think visors are totally back. (Re: my closet) I think it goes along with the “Mom/grandma on vacation” vibe, which I think is totally here. It’s absolutely for me.
Pedal pushers are a kind of capri pant cut maybe more 50s? They were a throwback style even in the 90s-2000s but were sold right alongside the whiskered and cargo capris, etc. They're cut close to the body (kind of like cropped skinny jeans but not necessarily denim) and usually end a few inches below the knee or maybe mid-shin; the ones in the example picture are actually kind of unusually short, in my experience. I think the iconic pedal pusher outfit is maybe striped boat neck tee, little neckerchief, low converse, ponytail? Perhaps on a bicycle, as the name suggests. I think of them as very youthful, cute, carefree and vintage, but as a short plus sized woman I hardly ever found a pair that hit me right, back in the day, so I maybe only ever owned one pair.
im wearing a sleeveless turtleneck right now, my hand flew to my mouth when you revealed the last one. also so true, sleeveless turtlenecks for us socal girlies
Im loving most of these trends because I wore them back in the day and laughing as I currently sell MANY on Depop and everybody loving them🦋🦋🦋 Alexa totally agree everything is in style now and that is so liberating and cool❤️! Pedal pushers BTW are very tight Capri pants Jackie Kennedy Audrey Hepburn Elizabeth Taylor etc. used to wear them a lot in the 50s They were a great option for people who rode bicycles hence “pedal pushers. “ 🥰
Oof I love wedge sneakers! I have to admit, I hated them when they were a trend, but I got my first pair as part of a Clara Oswald cosplay and they changed the game for me!
I hate high rise jeans. It's so unflattering on me. It makes me look fat and straight at the same time. I prefere mid rise. So I'm happy I can finally find more that's flattering on me.
I love your approach to trends, you highlight the importance of just dressing in things that feel right for you. It's the right way to look at fashion as far as I'm concerned. Subbed ❤️
I personally hate low rise jeans because growing up in high school that’s all the stores would sell, & being plus size, it just makes me look like I have a consistent muffin top- they don’t stay up and whenever I bend over it’s like a plumbers scene!! But that doesn’t mean that other people don’t make them work! Wear what makes you happy.
I always thought I wouldn't like low rise jeans, I wore skinny high waisted jeans. But then I Found my body type and could see that thehigh skinny jeans weren't doing much and I tried on a low/mid Rise bootcut jeans and feel so much more confident in them!
I love arm and leg warmers and I can’t wait to get some especially since it’s already getting cold. Also I love velvet too I totally agree with you but I was a 90’s teen lol also yes to peasant skirts and vests always yes to vests especially with button up shirts tbh nothing screams Janet Jackson quite like that look imo it’s iconic.💕 I love your channel!
Honestly i notice people are way too afraid to be “basic” but so scared of not being trendy that everyone is wearing the same brandy melville-esque band tees/tanks and high rise mom jeans, but they also come off basic because it’s the same style as everyone else. I feel the same w the emo subculture-everyone looks the exact same now and I don’t see much variety. How many people were doing the thrasher and 2019 90s kid thing until it became too noticeable to be niche? although i do love my low rise jeans we all have our vices
Corsets are not a symbol of a patriarchal oppressive system! They functioned like bras! If you wear a corset that’s uncomfortable, you probably need a refitting. Just like with bras.
Some of these outfits are actually really cute, like sarah michelle gellar in that velvet dress or drew barrymores crochet top. I just hope our current more relaxed mindset on what is 'trendy' and what's not is here to stay, let people experiment and find their own style
Yes!!
Spot on!!!
Sarah was slaying in that dress!
I hope so too.

They are super comfortable and I got the one that's waterproof, so I don't have to worry about the cleaning that much. Also you right, what does that person wear? The writter hates almost everything 😭
Me too. They're just too comfortable, let us be list guy 🤣
Belly chains are an inspo recreation from waist beads. Waist beads are cultural(Igbos) so they should not be seen as "trends".
I didn’t even know this many trends could be hated
The fact that I didn’t include so many too!!!
i agree with the jeans! I have both low rise and high rise jeans, flared, baggy and skinny and i just love all of them and it really just depends on my mood which i wanna wear
YES! every style is for different occasions and comfort! I totally agree!
I liked how you put a positive spin on such a judgmental article. Thanks for talking it through and making things interesting! Love your videos ❤️
As a fiber artist I’ve been so excited for crochet to become recognized as fashion and see more people my age become interested in the fiber arts community
Also I feel like mid rise jeans low-key give a similar ✨vibe✨ as low rise jeans do but look better and they’re somewhat more practical- at least on me :)
Truuuuuueeeee !!
DEFINITELY. They suit my body shape soo much better than high waist. I have a short torso and it feels like I get swallowed by high rise lol
Arm warmers came back in a big way due to Outlander's first season and Claire's chunky knit accessories.
I never take fashion magazine articles seriously for this very reason. They always bash actually good clothing, and only sprinkle in a few things that no one would wear. This one reads like a Buzzfeed article lol
I was literally cutting an embroidered denim skirt I thrifted while watching this video. I was shocked! I love them so much, and embellished jeans omg I love them!!
It reminds me about an article "50 worst 60s trends" or something like that. Most of the things listed were stuff I absolutely adore about 60s fashion sooo... Articles like that are extremely opinionated xD
I wonder what the writer of that article is wearing today lol.
Seriously !!!!!
I love crochet, especially crocheted sleeves. They go with fairygrunge fairycore type looks really well.
Low rise may be considered to be coming back, but most things labeled low rise currently aren't truly low rise, they are more mid rise, many things being marketed as low rise still have a 9in rise and on me that is still at or above my belly button.
I never stopped wearing bootcut. It just looks really good on my body type.
I saw this list a few months ago! I love that you made a video about it. Similarly, I like some things on this list and I don’t like others, but I thought it was crazy how someone was so passionate about hating these articles of clothing!
Omg when you have a go about the concept of “flattering” I was literally like PREACH IT SISTER CMON.
One of my friends told me skinny jeans are cheugy (sp?) I am almost 30 and live in Minnesota. I like how I look in skinny jeans. And it seems more practical for my location. They are easy to tuck into boots because, most of the time, we need to wear boots cause there is snow on the ground. Before skinny jeans, it was soooo hard to not get the bottoms of your boot cut jeans soaking wet and ripping from dragging in the ground. Maybe a summer Jean I would do bootcut. But I am skinny Jean fan and they are here to stay for me.
Edit: spelling
As a 90s high schooler, it’s funny to see 70s revival revival. The 70s were the big decade when I was in school so I see those copy cat clothes all the time now and it’s funny !
But honestly, I’ve NEVER seen such a drive towards nostalgia in my entire life. It mush have something to do with “thrifting.” Now a verb.. incredible!
Lol! Ed Hardy! From 17 Again: “You look bedazzled!”
“I saw Kevin Federline wearing this EXACT same shirt!”
That’s a great movie! 🤣
I’m with you! Is this person okay and what are they wearing right now 😂 also, I love following the idea that whatever is flattering for you and your style you should continue to wear and switch things up when you feel like it not when a trend list tells you too
I love a lot of these, but truly I believe it depends on the person and how you style it. How you style an item really changes the look.
Velvet and burnt velvet are everything to me. Also that Sarah Michelle gellar dress is one of my favorites! She is my biggest style icon.
I work at a tractor dealership so bootcuts are an everyday thing because I have to wear boots to work. But they still give me some shape and they stay on. Also, I just bought a velvet dress that I adore. The shape of it is perfect. It's a high empire waist with a big flair. It gives me great shape.
the top in the intro with the ribbons is just stunning!!!!
That article was probably the most accurate trend prediction article in 2020
Haha seriously 😂
Love how positive your channel is! I think trends are largely perpetuated by clothing companies who have all too much to gain from us throwing out our clothes every year to buy what’s “hot” at the moment. I really appreciate how you talk about these styles, and how even if they’re not for you, you think other people can make them work and look great.
I wear high rise jeans and also a lot of vintage trousers, I don't generally follow trends unless it's something I really love. As should everyone! I feel like what you said about personal style being in style is so true, I've been cultivating my own style since I wore a bowler hat every day to school when I was 17 lol
I literally see these trends everywhere today, and plenty of these are items I go around, searching for while shopping
I don’t get how Jean styles are tends! I have straight leg, high waist, mid rise, boot cut, boyfriend - those are my 5 pairs in my closet, and they all work for different outfits, it’s not really for a time period lol
Exactly!!! Each one has a different purpose!
@@alexasunshine83 IKR!!!
Her hair is so cute 🥰 I love the ribbons
I kinda like this era of aesthetics where we can all try things and wear what we like.
Low rise is back but it’s more mid rise then low rise. I want low rise soo much. Also I’ve seen so many belly chains and yes I might wear one. Yup velvet is amazing and I love it and it’s never gone out of style.
I like/am neutral about most of these tbh or except for the clear boots. Thats just a crime imo
Your shirt is so cute!!! I love it with the ribbons in your hair!
They could've used cuter, more current pictures of how these trends are back but in a more current style and had the complete opposite article.
I don’t really wear trends that often because they come and go all the time !!
Love this video keep them coming ❤
I personally love high waisted jeans and mom jean style , I can’t do chokers and turtleneck I can’t stand have anything around my neck!
The little rainbow 🌈😍 you are literal sunshine
❤️❤️❤️
This summer ive been rocking a visor a lot haha. It's "mom" function/fashion. When i bring my daughter to the park or pool, i want my hair up because its hot and i dont want it getting wet... but need a hat.
Love that!!!!! I’ve never worn one before, but maybe I’ll try!
I was on the hunt for a cute visor all summer long but I still don't have one
Alexa, your top is so beautiful and really suits you well
What rock has whoever wrote article been living under? Most of these are already here!
pedal pushers are supposed to be calf-length trousers, but some fashion blogs use the term for knee-length jeans/jean shorts
So funny. The crochet is big now, people are making scarf tops, im loving burnt crushed velvet with a blazer, I wore a camo top today, slouch socks/leg warmers are cute.
Off to thrift a leather trench coat & sweater vest... this list definitely served as inspiration 😅
Hahahaha yes 😂
I agree with you on so many of your takes. ☺️ Love chokers too. But those skinny scarfs, I don’t see myself getting back into them, I wore them as a kid, not my thing anymore. 😂
Your hair and outfit is SO CUTE on you in this video! My fave outfit I’ve seen you in ❤❤❤
i def have not seen anybody wearing visors, but funnily enough i was thinking about getting one recently lmao
Okay but can we talk about how cute your outfit is in this video?!?!?!
That list you reviewed for us was just one person’s opinion - and I agreed more with YOUR take on most of it than on the writer’s, Alexa! Always wear what makes you happy 🙂 No one, but NO one is probably ever gonna talk me out of wearing my beloved overalls or my UGGs. Or cowboy boots! Oh-oh, my list is getting longer 😉❤️ Thx for the fun video, Alexa❣️
their comment about corsets...i lost brain cells
I think some take aways from this article are: fashion is cyclical, wear what makes you feel great. Also if you try to wholesale import a trend from 2001 you could look like fashion roadkill... Make that any decade.
Oh I think visors are totally back. (Re: my closet) I think it goes along with the “Mom/grandma on vacation” vibe, which I think is totally here. It’s absolutely for me.
omg the peep toe boots are horrendous💀💀💀💀
I wonder how the writer of this article feels now lol
I wonder what they wear honestly!!!
Same and same !!
Pedal pushers are a kind of capri pant cut maybe more 50s? They were a throwback style even in the 90s-2000s but were sold right alongside the whiskered and cargo capris, etc. They're cut close to the body (kind of like cropped skinny jeans but not necessarily denim) and usually end a few inches below the knee or maybe mid-shin; the ones in the example picture are actually kind of unusually short, in my experience. I think the iconic pedal pusher outfit is maybe striped boat neck tee, little neckerchief, low converse, ponytail? Perhaps on a bicycle, as the name suggests. I think of them as very youthful, cute, carefree and vintage, but as a short plus sized woman I hardly ever found a pair that hit me right, back in the day, so I maybe only ever owned one pair.
I died when she asked is this person okay?
im wearing a sleeveless turtleneck right now, my hand flew to my mouth when you revealed the last one. also so true, sleeveless turtlenecks for us socal girlies
I own like 7 corsets some of them have been in my closet since 2013, and they are staying in my closet quick fix in making a velvet dress into a skirt
Im loving most of these trends because I wore them back in the day and laughing as I currently sell MANY on Depop and everybody loving them🦋🦋🦋 Alexa totally agree everything is in style now and that is so liberating and cool❤️! Pedal pushers BTW are very tight Capri pants Jackie Kennedy Audrey Hepburn Elizabeth Taylor etc. used to wear them a lot in the 50s They were a great option for people who rode bicycles hence “pedal pushers. “ 🥰
Oof I love wedge sneakers! I have to admit, I hated them when they were a trend, but I got my first pair as part of a Clara Oswald cosplay and they changed the game for me!
I hate high rise jeans. It's so unflattering on me. It makes me look fat and straight at the same time. I prefere mid rise. So I'm happy I can finally find more that's flattering on me.
I love your approach to trends, you highlight the importance of just dressing in things that feel right for you. It's the right way to look at fashion as far as I'm concerned. Subbed ❤️
I call fashion trends that faded out but are now back in "Fashion Karma" 😄
i used to have a crushed velvet hoodie
pedal pushers are between a bermuda short and a capri
I personally hate low rise jeans because growing up in high school that’s all the stores would sell, & being plus size, it just makes me look like I have a consistent muffin top- they don’t stay up and whenever I bend over it’s like a plumbers scene!! But that doesn’t mean that other people don’t make them work! Wear what makes you happy.
Can you please do a video on fall fashion for hot climates? This is my second fall in a hot climate and I have no idea what to wear...
ahhhhh its definitely brutal so I feel you!
I always thought I wouldn't like low rise jeans, I wore skinny high waisted jeans. But then I Found my body type and could see that thehigh skinny jeans weren't doing much and I tried on a low/mid Rise bootcut jeans and feel so much more confident in them!
I bet the author of this article is now wearing at least ten of these trends as we speak.
The writers corset opinions made me mad
I love arm and leg warmers and I can’t wait to get some especially since it’s already getting cold. Also I love velvet too I totally agree with you but I was a 90’s teen lol also yes to peasant skirts and vests always yes to vests especially with button up shirts tbh nothing screams Janet Jackson quite like that look imo it’s iconic.💕 I love your channel!
Honestly i notice people are way too afraid to be “basic” but so scared of not being trendy that everyone is wearing the same brandy melville-esque band tees/tanks and high rise mom jeans, but they also come off basic because it’s the same style as everyone else. I feel the same w the emo subculture-everyone looks the exact same now and I don’t see much variety. How many people were doing the thrasher and 2019 90s kid thing until it became too noticeable to be niche? although i do love my low rise jeans we all have our vices
Corsets are not a symbol of a patriarchal oppressive system! They functioned like bras! If you wear a corset that’s uncomfortable, you probably need a refitting. Just like with bras.
