Just had the funniest memory. My friend carried a huge bag. She owned race horses, and her farrier asked her to pick up some special shoes he had made. Long story short. Someone had to hold the bag and joked “You have horse shoes in there?” She did.

I can't..I'm sorry but isn't much of the trendy trends just doing something crazy and different just ti be crazy and different?? What do any of these "trends" do to enhance or flatter?? Pass. I'll stick to more classic and classy fashion. Great video, Anna! XXOO ❤️

Bedazzled jeans were a thing 40 years ago thank you very much. They’re also uncomfortable to sit in and rip the crap out of your furniture.

Socks with sandals is a practical trend - stops me getting blisters!

I can't even imagine the stares and whispers from others if I stepped into a restaurant wearing a pair of undie shorts with a sheer skirt, my socks and mesh ballet flats (which I also like) and a nice bando top. My husband would be throwing a trench coat over me before I ever left the house! lol Fun video Anna, thanks for staying in touch with fashion and keeping us looking great!

Yeah I dont buy embellished/bedazzled things anymore. Or super ripped stuff. Everything needs to play nice in my washer lol

I have long thick hair and have been wearing a half up with a thin ribbon tied in a bow. I went to a craft store and bought a bunch of different colors. I get so many compliments on my hair and love the bow trend. 😊

I love the sock with Mary Jane’s look. I think it’s precious. Also the dress you wear in the ad for bergdorfs is AMAZING! ❤️

I've even seen an entire black tulle dress over a floral sundress. I wouldn't wear it but it was super cute on a younger person.

I'd definitely try a small amount of embellishment on jeans!!

Gen X here - so many of these give me flashbacks to the 80s, with side orders of 70s and 90s. What's old is new again...

Agree with all of these...except the mesh footwear; I'm still a big no on that. My takeaway is that the majority of these trends are geared toward the 20-something set. Embellished jeans? In my 20's? Heck yeah! (I SO lusted after Prince's pants with the buttons/studs down the side in his Little Red Corvette video!) But now, not so much. Same thing with the socks and flats (especially Mary Janes), but, (and I know you're not supposed to say this anymore), after 35 I'm sorry, but no, Lolita! And a sheer skirt is a peep show/advertising - as are underwear "shorts".

@ANNAREID29

Prince’s style was 😘😘😘😘

I don't like just embellished pockets......but I have jeans with embroidered flowers with jewels and pearls that I love.....small flowers....then also have a pair with red roses and both those have matching jackets.....I always get compliments. I also have some jeans with lace inserts in the calf area which I have lace tops to wear...love those, too.

My strongest feelings against a trend is awkwardness of ankle pants with a boot, baby boot, bell, baby bell, flare or kick flair cut. It just looks like a laundry accident. Narrow leg and straight leg cuts look ok at the ankle. Bells, flairs and boot cuts really need to break over the top of the foot. Wide, balloon and barrel cuts need to break across the top of the foot or the silhouette makes the wearer look stumpy. Wide leg shapes can also look good when enough of the thinner part of the leg shows to present the legs as long and lean. Lengthening shoe shapes and colors help too. Or it's a showcase to frame a quirky or statement shape or color. In 2023 I was surprised at how much I loved wide printed culottes and slim capris that were short enough. And at 66, I am starting to avoid shorts. My shocking "avoid" was not really a trend, but all of a sudden, I decided that I can't wear turtlenecks without additional layers. It must have been happening gradually but the distance between the top of a turtleneck and the bottom line of my boobs is way out of proportion to my overall height. SHOCKING. I feel like I need to declutter all my turtlenecks and mock necks in tops and dresses. I watched several videos featuring women over 60, 70 and 80, especially some featuring Ralph Lauren style. I did notice how v-necks, open collar blouses and shirts, v-shapes formed by blazers, wrap dresses and fabric draping and layers manipulate overall proportions to minimize the toll that gravity imposes on us all. Pendants on longish chains helped form a v-shape better than a shorter and heavier chain that made a more gradual swoop. Neck scarves not only warmed the neck in the absence of turtlenecks, but also added color, texture and vertical draping lines. There was a time in my life when I would wear a black turtleneck once a week. Now I don't wear black anymore either. I feel a little sad today goodbye to such a loved wardrobe classic, but they are no longer doing my real life current body any favors. I am not willing to sabotage myself anymore. Some items might get updated by converting the necklines to scoop necks or v-necks so only the neck goes to the landfill. Watching your channel has been so helpful with objectively evaluating how clothes make me look and feel. You are also helping me have the courage to try new things. And writing comments here helps me reinforce and internalize my thoughts. I feel like I am making more conscious choices about decluttering, buying and not buying. Thanks again. ❤️❤️❤️

Dang Anna! Embrace the socks! Seriously, I wish everyone would. That way I would fit in and never have to suffer through wearing sockless shoes again. Don't even talk about those torture devices called no show socks. There isn't a pair in the universe that will stay on my heals.

I'm 60 and there is no way I'm wearing socks with mary janes or ballet flats. But I think lots of older folks start wearing socks more because we are less warm as we get older. But some wear 'em with sandals - hahhahaha. BIG NO to that too.

Your hair looks great this length. I sometimes wear sheer black socks or metallic silver socks with my 40s style black suede platform shoes and sandals. It's a vintage look I copied from my grandma, she wore socks and sandals with a gorgeous 40s dress in the only photograph I have of her. I "hide" this combo a bit under bootleg jeans, so you see the socks and then you don't, I like subtle trends as I'm quite understated.

I love that black and white dress! So good

I agree with all your 👎 except the embellished jeans not over the top I do have jeans from Chicos that have some on them and I like them.

I'm 43 and can't wait to wear sheer pretty lace socks. I'm in the UK and still too cold here. Sheer clothing is great for layering. I think the sheer lace dresses are beautiful. If you have a fully sheer skirt you can always wear another short skirt over or under it.

Love this as always! Thanks Anna!

Sorel sandals are definite what not to wear for me omg

I agree on the embellished jeans

I love baggy jeans, I’m a older woman that likes baggy street wear mixed with feminine clothing . I believe it depends on wear you live . I don’t like the socks with shoes or the bows .

Absolutely agree with everything! OMG the micro shorts. The only thing I actually like are embellished jeans pockets… Since I’m in European region, I think I should be ok 😂

Socks with shoes reminds me of the old ladies who used to wear their knee hi hose with dresses and shoes. Bleh. Not a look. Thanks for the video! Spot on! ❤❤

Sorell is so quality n flattering on love the wedges

I agree with the eight year old with the socks / sandals. As an adult never liked it n definitely won’t wear socks with sandals . Great video well won’t get rid of my last couple years of clothes. Don’t like anything I saw today 🤷‍♀️

That dress is adorable! It takes me back to the 60’s, a mini shift. So cute. Super baggy jeans are not for me, I think they work best on teenage girls. The tiny shorts look best for young girls too, except what parent would let their daughter out in those? All great ideas, thanks Anna

Hi, Pam! ❤️

Love the sweater you're wearing ❤

I remember mesh shoes ever so briefly in the early aughts ... They were usually in a full array of colors and often had flower or butterfly embellishments ... Sometimes they were sold rolled up in a slip bag, long before Tieks did it ... I had a purple pair. This trend definitely doesn't work for anyone who actually needs some type of support in their shoes

Black sheer socks under ankle length pants with a loafer, closed toe sling back, or ballet, and flats for warmth can look sheik.

I like sheer skirts on top of other things - another skirt, leggings (dated idea or not), trousers etc., and I haven't tried it yet but would try mesh ballet flats/shoes. The rest, I agree!

I love mesh skirts, but I always wear an underskirt. I know wearing them this way is not trendy, but that's my look 😎

So far, the only mesh like flats I've seen that I liked, were a pair of loafer type flats that were leather, but they were woven to look like caning in a chair. They were classy and gorgeous! I thought they looked like a mix between a loafer and a haurache. Great look

@@ritasnow6386 j crew factory "woven bow loafers" in cognac. Is what I saw this season. I'm not sure where to get hauraches anymore. Bought mine sooo long ago, at a Tom McCann's shoe store close out sale before they closed for good. I was so young and half a shoe size smaller, but they stretched to fit my new size after my son was born!

I totally agree that the embellish back pockets are outdated. But I purchased light wash jeans with a few silver/ sequins on the front, and they do not look cheap. Actually, they look high-end, and I wore them to an event with a pair of pointed silver kitten heels, and I received a lot of compliments. I think minimal and good fabric choices are key to your clothing not looking cheap. Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤

Overwhelmingly huge totes like that need wheels and a latch... And then, in fact it would be a very useful item. But they already make them... It is called a suitcase. Lol

I love wide jeans . Just have to find the right ones . And bows. Never giving them up! They look very good on me.

Tee-hee... thank you so much for a charming (again!) video!!! helene :)

Those micro shorts look RIDICULOUS! Even on celebs!!!

I wish I could go out and get all the wide legged jeans this year. I love those things, they remind me of my late teens/early 20s. I'm OK with mesh flats too, I live in Florida, it's hot, so extra ventilation is welcome. Also, I would wear those knit two-piece sets to the beach over my bathing suit. Everything else, big pass! Especially micro shorts.

Totally agreed!

😂 I had a striped knit short set when I was 10... LoL back in the 70's

Aren’t those the trouser socks we wore with dress pants in the 90s? 🧐

I agree with all of this.😊

Ewwww, trends. At 60 something i have seen some of these such as socks and mary janes when i was 8, and any kind of bow when i was in the schoolroom. Mesh shoes, embellished or not remind me of crocs but slimmer. So the fashionable want us to wear really baggy jeans, but then wear underwear shorts? Oh, let’s not forget capris which were deemed horribly unfashionable for all (including senior citizens) until this year. 😂😂😂 The black/white dress was great. I would wear that! Thanks Anna!

The underwear shorts look like pampers!! O dear... and knee socks with ballerinas!! That's a second away from white socks with Birkenstock sandals! Nooooo!!!! For the bows: some shoe brands come with detachable bows in all colours. Perhaps that could look cute on ballet flats.

Bergdorf is a sponsor!?! Anna, you have ARRIVED 😊

You and Shea Whitney should do a collab!

Cute striped shorts sets... Yes, I see them for younger women on the beach. Collage and younger. They are cutsie

I am very short. Bows make me look like a child. Similarly, large bags make me look even smaller. I avoid both.

I think you were right the first time. Mesh shoes look like you are wearing water socks.

I bought a pair of baggy jeans and was wearing them around the house with my Jordans and thought i looked so cute...until my son walked in and asked what decade it was 😂

1) your eye makeup looks great! 2) the girlies with those over size bags in your pics actually look like their giant bags are completely empty 😂

They are right up there with crocs and jelly shoes. Just no! Let's keep it classy and stylish ladies and not something we will regret when we see a picture of what we were wearing in 20 years. Thanks for the great video! 😊

As a women in my early 70s I would not wear any of these styles. I remember wearing some of these to Woodstock 1969 🤣🤣🤣
