It’s cool that people are dressing well again and thinking about quality, natural fibers and good tailoring.

I was an 80s kid growing up in LA and let me tell you it was the BEST decade. From the music, cartoons, sitcoms, movies, sense of freedom/safety and just everything. I feel like everything in the world started going downhill after that. The 80s was such a vibe. I’m glad it’s making a comeback.

In the US, I remember us growing up in the shadow of the Adam Walsh case in the 80s. The moms in our neighborhood were anxious, and we were talking about stranger danger at school. I think a sense of nostalgia sometimes exaggerates the sense we have of past decades feeling or actually being safer.

@@kcbarbo78 We didn’t have school shootings in the 80s, on average kids were safer riding their bikes around the neighborhood, or playing outside. Not anymore. I have grown up in the same suburb of LA my whole life. I’ve never seen the amount of theft and robbery as I have now. My catalytic converter was stolen 3 times in one year (2022) which has never happened to me before. I didn’t even know what a catalytic converter was prior to that and I had been driving for 27 years by that point. As a matter of fact, this organized crime was happening to people all over the country (never heard of it happening in the 80s). The Nordstrom (and few other shopping malls) near me have had flash mob retail heists that have never ever happened before. There are home robberies and apartment break-ins increasing. The police won’t even do anything about it. Local retail and chain stores (like Target and CVS) have items locked up behind counters which they never did before. The streets are full of homeless people who were never here before. We’ve had “terrorist” attacks, plenty of wars, false flags and psyops since then not only killing innocent people here and abroad but also setting up a stage to take our free speech, liberty, and rights away. Im not saying the 80s was 100% physically safe. Richard Ramirez (the “night stalker” serial killer was around then in my LA suburb). There have always been kidnappers, killers, and such throughout history. But there was more of a sense of freedom and day to day safety that we simply don’t have today with all the added nonsense that exists now and didnt back then. It’s definitely taken a turn for the worst. Not only lack of safety brought on by fellow citizens but even our own governments with all the sinister stuff they have done and want to do to us in the future. So it’s not really nostalgia. It’s measurable. Our world is and has been changing, and not for the better, if people open their eyes.

Yes, we did it! We nipped the low rise pants trend in the bud. Congrats ladies! 👏🏼

As a die hard thrifter, I love that preppy classic and 80s are in.. because you find the best pieces within these trends in the charity shops

Big yay for the classic high-rise trousers for me!! Super excited for this. The short shorts will not be making an appearance in my wardrobe though...not even close.

Love the Roses Trend. I am going to pair a white Suit I have with a big red rose! ❤ xxx

Low waist has never been for me. I think high waist is so much more flattering. Great video to start the year xx

I totally agree!

I'm not a trend follower and dress for what appeals to me and makes me feel / look great, but it's fun to see if what it's in my closet shows up on the "trendy list". lol YES to shopping secondhand! I've found vintage leather trousers, silk shirts, and cashmere pieces that are still in amazing condition and great quality. One of my favorites is a vintage 80s/90s grey wool, full length herringbone trench with big shoulders and unique belt detail...it's got Saint Laurent vibes and I get compliments on it all the time. ♥

I am so pleased about the red trend. I bought an expensive (well expensive for me) maroon coat 8 years ago. I wore it a few times then it sat in my wardrobe for years. Well I had it dry cleaned and have been wearing quite a lot recently. I also have 2 fuller fitting maxi skirts from my witchy fashion days. They will be perfect for this new trend. I get so much inspiration from you

Happy New Year Alexx!! Hope you, Andy, your two dogs, & Flicker had a wonderful Christmas & New Year! I hope you got lots of rest & ready for 2024! It’s great to see you back making videos and look forward to 2024. 😊❤️

Glad to hear the classic style, quiet luxury, and preppy styles are in. Happy about the high waisted, too. I may purchase a belt to wear over blazers, as that seems to be in. Thanks for sharing these trends with us! 😊

One of the biggest trends for 2024 is capris (below the knee). Both trousers and jeans in this style will be popular. By the way, Zara has already released denim capris with cuffs in the new collection. They look very cool.

The roses-for-2024 trend always makes me think of "Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking." I like roses. I hate fashion snobs; although I probably am one. I might charitably be called "sporty" although "unmade bed" is closer.

Love this vlog Alex. Welcome into to 2024. Alex you are just the prettiest person I have ever watched and keep your head held high. Thank you for sharing this videos about fashion trends. Such a inspo ❤❤

My trend for 2024: Classics. 😂 I was In high school in the 80’s. Too bad I didn’t save any of my pieces. 😅 I always find these types of videos interesting. Good to know what we can expect for the year ahead fashion-wise. Happy New Year, Alex- hope your holidays were wonderful and you were able to have some relaxing downtime. Great video, as always- good to see you back on KZread.

Hi Alexx, would you mind sharing where to find the lovely grey sweater top you are wearing in this video? I love the sleeve length in particular 🤩 Great video! I am a classics girl also and am quite thrilled that the trends align with my favorite aesthetic 😊

I found 3 pleated plaid midi skirts at Goodwill. 5.00 each. I’m loving wearing them with colored tights and classic loafers. Also, white girly socks are working too. So 80’s with a classic button up structured shirt in pale colors.

I love the eighties! That was my time period. I wish the eighties hair came back, too :)

The short shorts 😩 I thought they were a long gone nightmare from 2011 when Topshop convinced us all to wear those damn black sequin hot pants on nights out 🥲 that was a flashback I wasn’t expected on a Monday! Think I’ll give that one a miss 😂x

Happy new year, darling! These videos give me good ideas… And I am doing a no by January and really wanting to spend less on clothes this year… I feel that I have a lot of good pieces, but… I am curious where you got your sweater from that you’re wearing in this video!

Thank goodness love high waist ! Love, Love , a great belt. Ribbons & roses are cute & fun. I do not love short shorts! I'm happy Capri are coming back. Red is a wonderful color. Really like pastel colors. LOVE bomber jacket! Staying away from short shorts! Thanks for the fashion update.🎉😮

The classic, preppy style suits me just fine. It’s what I have worn every day for the longest time. I may add a “trendy” detail here and there but I am most comfortable with the classics. Greetings from Mexico

Where would you suggest to source these classic and/or preppy pieces? I love BOTH but have difficulty finding good pieces. Thank you so much!

I think the short shorts work well if you’re going to a beach party 🏝️

I wouldn’t say I’m a girly girl but I’m loving the ribbon trend! X

🎉hooray for the high waist I'm all for that thrilled too 😊

All the preppy style talk really makes me want to listen to Vampire Weekend all of a sudden. 😆 I love these kinds of videos, they really help me pick which trends are for me and maybe consider some I wouldn’t normally consider. I never like to box myself in and want to keep an open mind about fashion because it’s just so much fun. At nearly 43 I still like to explore.

Good Morning Alexx from little me in the Yara Valley its 6.09 am here been up since before 4am. I so agree January is a very stop still month , after all the lead up to Christmas ,well here we are another year ,I love fashion and as I fashion design, I live and breath it lol as once Chanel said their is nothing new in fashion, its just reinvented I love designing the one of a kind and love pushing the envelope so love designing wearable art good fun and very creative .in hence saying this so happy you are back loved Vlogmas was very spoilt, well time for a coffee sending Hugs to Both and your adorable doggies Evie xoxo

Red is always popular color, more like classic. But I haven’t worn red color for awhile. So Valentino red I think that’s what I am going to get, because as much as I appreciate cooler shades of red burgundy, etc… it’s just not a good fit on my complexion. The same bright white😂 it has to be off white, Have a blessed day🙏❤️

Loved this video I posted it on FB as the best trend 2024 KZread video. I’m from the island of Puerto Rico USA and like JLO we Puertorican woman love fashion and trends. That said don’t like red but accessories red love it.

High waisted jeans and red, best is that I don’t need to buy anything in red. I have had some good quality wool and leather pieces in red for years…some decades 😎

Love high waist because my legs are a bit short and high waisted jeans make them look longer😀

loveeee the long skirts! Love the classic pieces and super excited to try my hand at putting together preppy x classic outfits. Also so hear for more bows! But the 80s shoulder pads... WHYYY? That one I will definitely not be partaking in nor the short shorts. Those are a NO from me haha

Wow I didn’t have an idea high wasted went away x)

Thank goodness for the exit of the low rise…. I’m here for a high waist!!!

Great video. Some of the trends are just not classy at all. The high waisted slacks are so classy, i have never liked low waisted pants, very unflattering. Great video. Loved it. 😊🇨🇦❤️

Okay did anyone learn from this that the extremes often swing back every 2 years? It doesnt alway do that but ALWAYS save your fav. Items....they will be back!

I hope the madeira fabric dresses will be fashionable this summer as well. And i would like leather clothes in different colour, and i would like fruit or bird pattern clothes too. I dont want to see any masculin stuff/ official outlook for women.

Are the jeans going to be straight or wide leg for 2024 or both? I noticed the darker jeans are in.
