I notice this constant cycle of a new trend appearing, fast-fashion brands starting to market it and then because fast-fashion brands are marketing it, it is no longer cool and instead is viewed as cheap. This happens with every trend nowadays and it's why I don't really follow trends anymore and instead wear classic items mostly and leave it to the color combinations and textures of clothing to give my style an edge.

"Buy less, choose well, make it last." - Vivienne Westwood agree, I started following designers more and realize that it helps me find my taste in fashion. It doesn't bother me anymore if I couldn't afford those things because I was inspired on 'how I can dress' instead of how 'should' I dress (following trends) that I'm not even comfortable to wear. I think fashion is a matter of how long can you use your wardrobe and simply mix and match what you have.

I love Vivienne Westwood so much. I always wore their clothes around and to hangouts with friends but I was always criticized for being too much and trying to hard or having a weird style because of the bright colours but now everyone seems to be liking her again and i'm being asked how long I've had my clothes and how pretty they are. Times really change 😭😭.

One of the things I hate about aesthetics is that they try and box you in. I always found myself worrying about which hobbies or parts of myself I would have to give up to be in an aesthetic which is just terrible! We are all too unique and multifaceted to truly be one aesthetic and that’s a great thing!!

Thank you, I'm a teen girl, and you really opened my eyes. The only problem is that everybody has social media, and if you try to be unique, you get haters for trying to 'hard' or trying to be 'different'. ALOT of it is probably caused by peer pressure. You earned a new sub

These trends ruined me 2 years ago, I completely lost my sense of identity, dropped all my hobbies and just made TikTok’s in my room attempting to keep up with the latest trends. I was so addicted in trying to fit in, and I didn’t realize it then but I was so unhappy and sad. At one point I kind of realized how addicted I was to TikTok and these trends so I deleted the app all together. It’s been two years and I haven’t redownloaded it since. When I look to trends now and how people act as a result of them, I honestly cringe. Like genuinely, what the hell is deer pretty? I’m so much happier now, I invest all my time in learning and doing hobbies. I don’t even care about my appearance anymore, I dress comfortably and completely stopped wearing makeup. If I could, I would tell everyone to delete the app. It literally BRAINWASHES people and it is so sick. If you think you’ll miss out on anything, trust me you won’t . The trends that stick you’ll hear about it one way or another and the ones that don’t (which are most these days) you won’t miss out on anyway because they will last a week. DELETE TIKTOK!

I loved how you point out these “cores” make you feel as though you are dressed up, or wearing a costume. That’s a great way to describe it. I feel like all too often the clothes don’t suit me, but are rather fueled by the hope of me fitting in some kind of category. Great video!

People are creating new "aesthetic" everyday and some are basically the same but with different names lol. It makes people believe they can only like certain things to fit in that aesthetic. Like, voluntarily putting yourself in a box. We can like multiple things with some being the opposite of each other

thank you for bringing me back to reality, it is so silly to always have the need to have a “label”. like no i’m not coquette downtown girl aesthetic, im me

but since COVID-19, social media became more popular and now it's causing little kids to be influenced by these lifestyles, which reduces their creativity and chance to find their own identity because they are trying to have the perfect lifestyle they see online.

And I do think of style like food honestly street food, highend couisine, mom&pops (my favorite), homemade (favorite), etc these are different ways of consuming fashion

That’s why aesthetics annoy me so much. People buy a new wardrobe every year, because they want to fit a new aesthetic. Often one aesthetics gets rebranded in so many different ways. I think trends are not always bad and can help you with your style, but don’t limit yourself to micro-trends, maybe let the trend sit for a while and then look if you still like it.

thank you 💞 it's truly a spiral we are all in sadly

i remember wearing a brown puffer with squiggly designs (when it was in) and people judged it because it was new and it was different. It was an up and coming trend that people didn't know much about until people started to wear it. So this perspective of me trying something new and people perceiving it was odd that I was wearing it, also shows that trends appear suddenly and then go away suddenly as well.

i completely agree w/ everything you said in this video! i hate seeing videos titled as "how to find your style and stick with it" because we should be able to wear whatever! we dont need to stick to one certain style/aesthetic

Very true! Sometimes i am afraid to wear something different because people will judge, i know we should not listen to people's opinion but sometimes it hurts, social media really ruined unique styles

this video is so underrated. Not only when it comes to clothing but trends in general. I feel like Tiktok and Instagram Reels really ruined uniqueness

Hi, I agree with what you say and I have to add or to say that the cores actually helped me to find what I like. Through the categories I could see what I'm drawn to and now I can build around those cores and add and change everything I like so it will be my personal fashion or core. I literally don't care about trends. And fortunately I never now what is trending right now so I will hopefully fall less into the trap of buying trendy stuff I actually don't like. I'm happy about it ❤ nice video 🌸👍

i think the bow trend differs in some ways because people could participate without buying anything (theoretically) which i think is cool- i wish more trends were like that

Omg I always felt this in the back of my mind WE NEED TO MAKE THIS VIDEO VIRALLL

Honestly this need to be said, it's just a way for you to buy more things that you probably don't need and capitalise on insecurities you didn't even have. I wish people could just do what they want rather than follow a trend that will become hated in two weeks.

I absolutely love neon green and kelly green. I can never find the proper shades of green while I try to look for new clothes. Hopefully green becomes the next colour trend. I need more green! Especially green shoes, I can't find them anywhere. I had to settle on a pair of black basketball shoes and I used neon green and black beads on the laces. I've been emo for 18 years because I was born and raised as an emo. My dad was emo and my mum loved rock. Fashion has changed so much and I can't find anything that looks good when I go shopping, even online. I'm a guy but I have to shop in the womens section often because they usually have more choices. The mens section is mostly tshirts sadly. If you are a fashion designer, please use more green, I NEED IT! Also, if you cosplay, it is a good idea to buy a pair of "ballet" shoes. Walking around conventions in uncomfortable costume shoes are PAINFUL! Always bring a light pair of shoes with you so you can change them if needed. P.S, even though I am a guy I've started to wear bows because my service dog in training is a poodle. He has to wear bows in his hair to keep it out of his face. I absolutely adore my puppy so we wear matching accessories. I make the bows myself, they are very simple to make. We use "show bows" which look very fancy. If you have a poodle or a longhaired dog that wears bows, you should check out the dollar tree, they usually have a lot of ribbon.

To be honest, it feels like we’re copying everyone and be the lowest version of them, we don’t feel ourselves we’re just doing what internet does, it just doesn’t make you feel special. I mean there’s people doing trends because it’s their job like yt or tt but currently as viewers, it’s okay to take an inspiration even a little, it’s make you understand yourself and what you like but it is not okay to being pasted by copying.

Stores always sold trendy clothing, but what you have to do is buy the stuff you want to wear. Like wear colors you like, cuts you like, prints you like (if you like prints). Things are expensive so try to get things that pair well together. If you also had an alternative phase, like goth or emo, look back into that. I think a lot of people aren't "supposed" to look normal. Like myself, I'm goth and I don't feel comfortable dressing "normal" because it doesn't show who I am. I want someone to clock me as a weirdo from a distance just because if I say weirdo shite, I don't wanna make people confused or uncomfortable.

My idea of a glow up is me doing the things I’ve wanted to do for ages but out off such as certain skin cares, taking care of my hair better, buying the clothes I! Wanted! In my mind glow ups are a you goal. Not some trends people expect you to follow. It legit been psychologically proven that if you are 100% perfect ppl WILL find you unnerving and boring. THIS WAS PROVEN BTW. If you look perfect, perfectly symmetrical, and like everyone else people will find how you look as low-key boring. People prefer, feel more comfortable with people with “bad” features Don’t glow up for other ppl glow up for your own goals

Some glow up things are nice. -luxury shampoo and shower gel is so different, it smells amazing all day. -cutting hair into a nice shape. -and then I got myself a nice face serum and a really good foundation. It didn’t cost much (35$ in total), but I look young af. And also some new clothes are ok.

DILOOO!! deberíamos desconectarnos más de las redes y dejar de depender en puras micro tendencias. GREAT VIDEO, BTW

Gigi u made the video i didn’t know i needed. Thank you sissy

One thing I will not be doing is elliminating clothing apps because a credit card so i can't buy in those apps. And they're useful because I like to see what they have in the store, so i know what i want to buy, its a step more in the buying procces and i have more time to think about what i want to buy or not buy

you know, it seems to me that people over 30 are starting to pay less attention to “trends” and “fast fashion” they can dress thoughtfully, or they can just... be human and pay less attention to appearance because of this, I sometimes want to “skip” my teenage years or even my youth because I feel that this social media pressure is directed specifically at these groups and no matter how hard I try not to be fooled by these manipulations, I can’t stop dressing like this or wear makeup since a young girl is required to be “pretty” and “girly” and if I refuse all this, I will experience extreme pressure in my direction I really want acceptance and love, and no matter how much I understand that this is a product of capitalism, forcing me to be socially acceptable and spend an unimaginable amount of money on it I don't have enough strength to refuse being "acceptable" no matter how much I hide behind the fact that this is all art, fashion, and that I love it deep down I know I hate it it takes an incredible amount of energy, money and time I officially hate being beautiful

Some people need to go back to their goth/emo/punk phase and stay there. Like I know a lot of people probably aren't comfortable in their clothing because it's not what they really wanna wear, but society doesn't "want" people to dress like that. After all look at everyday punks and goths, and then look at modern KVD. KVD is punk in a corporate sense, not in an actual punk way.

Yeassss i have a tiktok that goes this way, like yessss selfcare! but not standarization yaas queen

Imagine us being rebellious and wearing what they say its out, wearing what we love and what we have in our wardrobes😂😂 what a scandalous thing to do 😂😂 i got rid of every social media app, not pinterest or youtube though, and i dont watch everyone here, no big haul, no people doing the big decluttering videos just to show a haul after, like what are you doing it for, its so fake to me, a lot of things, if not most of it its just fake to me, because i can sense that a lot of them are just unhappy behind the screen😮‍💨
