As a fellow millennial close in age to Meghan it was actually kind of depressing

The beige thing goes way back to her influence by Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, who died in a plane crash with JFk Jr in 1998. Bessette Kennedy was known for wearing Calvin Klein inspired outfits in beige and black Her style was very influential . There are photos of Meghan doing exact copies of the outfits.

Sure, but "sad beige" is also a trend, or has been throughout the 2010s before Gen Zs started clowning on it. https://www.today.com/parents/family/sad-beige-rcna65116

It has been a hallmark of elder millennial style, the pared down, all white/brown/beige monochromatic thing, matching the similar all white/brown/beige kitchen. And what once seemed kind of chic, new and fresh, now looks incredibly dated and like a throwback to the mid 2010s, which was Meghan's heyday. Anyone who stays on top of trends knows that this kind of thing looks very out of date now and Gen Zs are always making fun of these stylistic choices. And for good reason- once you kind of pan out you realize how kind of ridiculous and overly stylized/ self conscious it often looks.

I don't personally think her style is dated. It reads more quiet luxury than sad beige.

With that being said, as a fellow millennial, I can appreciate Meghan sticking to her style rather than changing. As you get older you kind of learn what works for you and gain confidence to avoid overhauling your style every time trends change. She's in ankle jeans and a button down, it's not like she's in a J. Crew bubble necklace or something extremely dated.

I also do think this is one of those areas where she would never win and if she tried something excessively trendy she'd be made fun of for trying too hard.

It is very dated though, and you being a millennial may blind you to that fact since it's a style you still enjoy. In the way that plenty of boomers will still walk around thinking their outfits from the 80s or 90s are really cool, when it dates them and gives away their "era".

Nothing wrong with having a personal style. But you can still update things, keep them fresh, and move with the times- or hire people to style you if you cant figure it out yourself. ESPECIALLY if youre going to position yourself as some kind of leader in the aspirational lifestyle industry. Most people dont want to be walking around wearing a style that is a good decade or so passe.

Please give detailed examples of how to “update” and “freshen” the aesthetic of the show. I would love to hear what is considered updated.

The show to me reads as blandly pleasant. It’s the entire curated concept of a lifestyle show that seems dated more so than the details like clothing.

Seriously. I don't understand how straight cut jeans and a button down are "dated." She just dresses like a normal rich mom, which she is. It's millennial because millennials are moms now.

LOL. That's because you are a millennial! Dont you get that? In the same way a boomer isnt going to understand how their look is dated either. There are plenty of hip looking rich moms, not everyone is wearing what was en vogue in 2015.

Yes, I do get that for some people's style but Meghan's doesn't particularly read dated to me. Some other millennials' style does. I agree with the other poster, please give detailed examples of how to update and freshen the aesthetic of the show.

Yeah but that's what I'm trying to explain! You're a self admitted millennial and cant see the forest for the trees, lol. I did give some examples to the other poster but tbh it's not really my job to explain to middle-aged moms who think white skinny jeans and a chambray button down is totally chic about current fashion trends, lmao. You can always look up Vogue articles, use ChatGTP, or even open a dedicated thread here on DCUM if you truly want advice on updating your wardrobe (although this board skews Gen X so you might not get much help). Good luck!

Okay, first of all, the fact that you think people were asking for their own edification and not because you sounded ridiculous just blanket-stating that the show was dated. People were asking because they wanted you to show your work, not because they wanted your fashion advice lmfao.

Second of all, for someone claiming to be a fashion expert, there is a difference between chic and trendy. A button down and jeans is chic. Whatever flavor of the week the Gen z tiktok influencers are wearing is trendy.

The show *is* dated. The fact that that bothers a legion of self identified middle aged moms who are admitting that they developed their person style in the 2010s and havent updated it since the series finale of Girls doesn't change that fact, lmao.

A button down and jeans is no longer chic, not in the way most millennial women wear it. The fact that you cannot, cannot, CANNOT see this and are sooooo entrenched in the Isabel Marant aesthetic from 2010 is very, very telling about how out of touch you are with current fashions. Even the fact that you're so bothered by this discussion says that you know very well that your personal style stopped evolving a good decade back. And yes, you probably do look dated and old when you're out and about running errands, which is why I suspect you're so upset with the conversation.

Yep! This is the same poster. Couldn't handle not personally attacking people for more than five minutes, could you?

Genuine question, how old are you? I assumed Boomer but based on your hatred for a couple of millennials deigning to ask you to show your work, I wonder if you're Gen Z?

I think she'd really have to change the entire vibe- the "perfect instagram" look is now extremely out of date and cringe, which is why most GenZs prefer a somewhat chaotic looking photo dump. More color would be great, not filming in all white, beige kitchens. Not doing cutesy "twee" crafts like sticking stuff in mason jars or wicker baskets. If she was to experiment with more color, more boldness, more "out there" vibes then that would fit the zeitgeist a lot more. ATM, it's giving Chip and Joanna Gaines Modern Farmhouse 2016.

Agree to disagree. She is for sure a millennial aesthetically but I don't think it's that bad.

I mean, I'm sorry, but it is. You cannot tell me Meghan's show is aesthetically distinct from this:

I do, it's a subtle distinction but I don't think you'd understand so I don't feel like explaining.

It ain't subtle! The huge distinction is that Joanna Gaines created her brand on her own. Also, she wasn't gifted millions and isn't the kind of person to make an issue on her show about using an entitled last name. Viewers (even uneducated ones) are quite good at sniffing out fake.

Dp. Not sure what your point is here. I’m a millennial woman who didn’t like the show but her overall fashion is not really the issue, other than it being laughable that MM claims to cook in drapey all white clothes. And most millennial women I know don’t care about being trendy anymore. We’ve got way too much else to worry about between careers, husbands, kids and elderly parents. Not sure why you’re so obsessed with insulting people over something this silly.

She has never had the body of CBK and is clearly using Ozempic, which won’t fix it. She also never had the connections nor taste to wear Comme des Carcons. There’s no style or taste in Meghan’s fashion, never has been. Draping that Jenni Kayne sweater over her shoulders to “cook” and be a busy busy big B to Mindy Kaling was mos def a lewk but not a good one.

Why would you think she is using Ozempic? She has always been thin and her face has always been perfect. She may tick people off but saying she is taking Ozempic is silly. I have always loved her style and work ethic.

She hasn’t always been thin, sorry, and she’s had a fair amount of surgery - which was at first gorgeous work, but she’s getting a little El Greco in the face from weight loss that isn’t natural to her. I do think she’d look even better with a less harsh brow and shorter hair styling, it’d still be long, but it’s pretty Cousin It in some of her scenes.

Her mom has aged like a goddess and Meghan isn’t. She should’ve left herself alone!

She has literally always been thin, except for her pregnancy. Where are you getting this?

I’m not PP and obviously have no idea if she’s on Ozempic, but looking at her parents there is little hope she can maintain her size naturally.

I don't think her mom is fat, is she? Her dad and half-siblings definitely are.

This is absolutely crazy talk. So you think no one can maintain thinness unless on ozempic? Or just MM can’t? MM has been bone skinny for the last 15-18 years.

It may not be the issue for you but it is for others, especially if she wants to attract a desirable younger demographic. I also dont hate MM, but was just sooooo struck by how out of date the whole thing seemed.

(Although, don't tell our esteemed fellow poster that, someone else did and she claimed that poster was fat.)

Sure, but "sad beige" is also a trend, or has been throughout the 2010s before Gen Zs started clowning on it. https://www.today.com/parents/family/sad-beige-rcna65116

It has been a hallmark of elder millennial style, the pared down, all white/brown/beige monochromatic thing, matching the similar all white/brown/beige kitchen. And what once seemed kind of chic, new and fresh, now looks incredibly dated and like a throwback to the mid 2010s, which was Meghan's heyday. Anyone who stays on top of trends knows that this kind of thing looks very out of date now and Gen Zs are always making fun of these stylistic choices. And for good reason- once you kind of pan out you realize how kind of ridiculous and overly stylized/ self conscious it often looks.

I don't personally think her style is dated. It reads more quiet luxury than sad beige.

With that being said, as a fellow millennial, I can appreciate Meghan sticking to her style rather than changing. As you get older you kind of learn what works for you and gain confidence to avoid overhauling your style every time trends change. She's in ankle jeans and a button down, it's not like she's in a J. Crew bubble necklace or something extremely dated.

I also do think this is one of those areas where she would never win and if she tried something excessively trendy she'd be made fun of for trying too hard.

It is very dated though, and you being a millennial may blind you to that fact since it's a style you still enjoy. In the way that plenty of boomers will still walk around thinking their outfits from the 80s or 90s are really cool, when it dates them and gives away their "era".

Nothing wrong with having a personal style. But you can still update things, keep them fresh, and move with the times- or hire people to style you if you cant figure it out yourself. ESPECIALLY if youre going to position yourself as some kind of leader in the aspirational lifestyle industry. Most people dont want to be walking around wearing a style that is a good decade or so passe.

Please give detailed examples of how to “update” and “freshen” the aesthetic of the show. I would love to hear what is considered updated.

The show to me reads as blandly pleasant. It’s the entire curated concept of a lifestyle show that seems dated more so than the details like clothing.

Seriously. I don't understand how straight cut jeans and a button down are "dated." She just dresses like a normal rich mom, which she is. It's millennial because millennials are moms now.

LOL. That's because you are a millennial! Dont you get that? In the same way a boomer isnt going to understand how their look is dated either. There are plenty of hip looking rich moms, not everyone is wearing what was en vogue in 2015.

Yeah but that's what I'm trying to explain! You're a self admitted millennial and cant see the forest for the trees, lol. I did give some examples to the other poster but tbh it's not really my job to explain to middle-aged moms who think white skinny jeans and a chambray button down is totally chic about current fashion trends, lmao. You can always look up Vogue articles, use ChatGTP, or even open a dedicated thread here on DCUM if you truly want advice on updating your wardrobe (although this board skews Gen X so you might not get much help). Good luck!

Okay, first of all, the fact that you think people were asking for their own edification and not because you sounded ridiculous just blanket-stating that the show was dated. People were asking because they wanted you to show your work, not because they wanted your fashion advice lmfao.

Second of all, for someone claiming to be a fashion expert, there is a difference between chic and trendy. A button down and jeans is chic. Whatever flavor of the week the Gen z tiktok influencers are wearing is trendy.

The show *is* dated. The fact that that bothers a legion of self identified middle aged moms who are admitting that they developed their person style in the 2010s and havent updated it since the series finale of Girls doesn't change that fact, lmao.

A button down and jeans is no longer chic, not in the way most millennial women wear it. The fact that you cannot, cannot, CANNOT see this and are sooooo entrenched in the Isabel Marant aesthetic from 2010 is very, very telling about how out of touch you are with current fashions. Even the fact that you're so bothered by this discussion says that you know very well that your personal style stopped evolving a good decade back. And yes, you probably do look dated and old when you're out and about running errands, which is why I suspect you're so upset with the conversation.

Dp. Not sure what your point is here. I’m a millennial woman who didn’t like the show but her overall fashion is not really the issue, other than it being laughable that MM claims to cook in drapey all white clothes. And most millennial women I know don’t care about being trendy anymore. We’ve got way too much else to worry about between careers, husbands, kids and elderly parents. Not sure why you’re so obsessed with insulting people over something this silly.

It may not be the issue for you but it is for others, especially if she wants to attract a desirable younger demographic. I also dont hate MM, but was just sooooo struck by how out of date the whole thing seemed.

Yes, and we are saying she probably does not want to attract a younger demographic. MM is almost 45 years old. I don't think she's worried if a bunch of 19 year old tiktok "girlies" like her show.

As a fellow millennial close in age to Meghan it was actually kind of depressing

The beige thing goes way back to her influence by Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, who died in a plane crash with JFk Jr in 1998. Bessette Kennedy was known for wearing Calvin Klein inspired outfits in beige and black Her style was very influential . There are photos of Meghan doing exact copies of the outfits.

Sure, but "sad beige" is also a trend, or has been throughout the 2010s before Gen Zs started clowning on it. https://www.today.com/parents/family/sad-beige-rcna65116

It has been a hallmark of elder millennial style, the pared down, all white/brown/beige monochromatic thing, matching the similar all white/brown/beige kitchen. And what once seemed kind of chic, new and fresh, now looks incredibly dated and like a throwback to the mid 2010s, which was Meghan's heyday. Anyone who stays on top of trends knows that this kind of thing looks very out of date now and Gen Zs are always making fun of these stylistic choices. And for good reason- once you kind of pan out you realize how kind of ridiculous and overly stylized/ self conscious it often looks.

I don't personally think her style is dated. It reads more quiet luxury than sad beige.

With that being said, as a fellow millennial, I can appreciate Meghan sticking to her style rather than changing. As you get older you kind of learn what works for you and gain confidence to avoid overhauling your style every time trends change. She's in ankle jeans and a button down, it's not like she's in a J. Crew bubble necklace or something extremely dated.

I also do think this is one of those areas where she would never win and if she tried something excessively trendy she'd be made fun of for trying too hard.

It is very dated though, and you being a millennial may blind you to that fact since it's a style you still enjoy. In the way that plenty of boomers will still walk around thinking their outfits from the 80s or 90s are really cool, when it dates them and gives away their "era".

Nothing wrong with having a personal style. But you can still update things, keep them fresh, and move with the times- or hire people to style you if you cant figure it out yourself. ESPECIALLY if youre going to position yourself as some kind of leader in the aspirational lifestyle industry. Most people dont want to be walking around wearing a style that is a good decade or so passe.

Please give detailed examples of how to “update” and “freshen” the aesthetic of the show. I would love to hear what is considered updated.

The show to me reads as blandly pleasant. It’s the entire curated concept of a lifestyle show that seems dated more so than the details like clothing.

Seriously. I don't understand how straight cut jeans and a button down are "dated." She just dresses like a normal rich mom, which she is. It's millennial because millennials are moms now.

LOL. That's because you are a millennial! Dont you get that? In the same way a boomer isnt going to understand how their look is dated either. There are plenty of hip looking rich moms, not everyone is wearing what was en vogue in 2015.

Yes, I do get that for some people's style but Meghan's doesn't particularly read dated to me. Some other millennials' style does. I agree with the other poster, please give detailed examples of how to update and freshen the aesthetic of the show.

Are you the same person who was calling people fat and poor three pages ago?

Are you the same person who was calling people fat and mentally ill three pages ago? How many hours do you spend on this thread per week?

DP So...yes lol. The deflection is obvious.

I guess you dont want to answer that question lmao. I'm guessing it's well over 10 hours

DP means different poster, hope that helps!

Wait where did you learn "hope that helps"? Was it from some young Gen Z cousin? You've been using it for like 6 pages now... such a tell of how long you spend on this page. I'm bumping my estimate up to 20 hours a week.

...didn't you just call someone "girlie" a few pages ago.

Well she probably should, especially with how catastrophically unpopular she is with the GP. And relegating herself to the middle aged mom demo is pretty limiting, especially as time passes and that demo ages up with her.

Right but that still doesn't explain your personal insults to several people over the last few pages.

And most millennial women I know don’t care about being trendy anymore. We’ve got way too much else to worry about between careers, husbands, kids and elderly parents. Not sure why you’re so obsessed with insulting people over something this silly.

It may not be the issue for you but it is for others, especially if she wants to attract a desirable younger demographic. I also dont hate MM, but was just sooooo struck by how out of date the whole thing seemed.

Sure, but her clothes weren’t the issue. It was the setting and content that screams 10 + years ago.

The beige thing goes way back to her influence by Carolyn Bessette Kennedy, who died in a plane crash with JFk Jr in 1998. Bessette Kennedy was known for wearing Calvin Klein inspired outfits in beige and black Her style was very influential . There are photos of Meghan doing exact copies of the outfits.

Sure, but "sad beige" is also a trend, or has been throughout the 2010s before Gen Zs started clowning on it. https://www.today.com/parents/family/sad-beige-rcna65116

It has been a hallmark of elder millennial style, the pared down, all white/brown/beige monochromatic thing, matching the similar all white/brown/beige kitchen. And what once seemed kind of chic, new and fresh, now looks incredibly dated and like a throwback to the mid 2010s, which was Meghan's heyday. Anyone who stays on top of trends knows that this kind of thing looks very out of date now and Gen Zs are always making fun of these stylistic choices. And for good reason- once you kind of pan out you realize how kind of ridiculous and overly stylized/ self conscious it often looks.

I don't personally think her style is dated. It reads more quiet luxury than sad beige.

With that being said, as a fellow millennial, I can appreciate Meghan sticking to her style rather than changing. As you get older you kind of learn what works for you and gain confidence to avoid overhauling your style every time trends change. She's in ankle jeans and a button down, it's not like she's in a J. Crew bubble necklace or something extremely dated.

I also do think this is one of those areas where she would never win and if she tried something excessively trendy she'd be made fun of for trying too hard.

It is very dated though, and you being a millennial may blind you to that fact since it's a style you still enjoy. In the way that plenty of boomers will still walk around thinking their outfits from the 80s or 90s are really cool, when it dates them and gives away their "era".

Nothing wrong with having a personal style. But you can still update things, keep them fresh, and move with the times- or hire people to style you if you cant figure it out yourself. ESPECIALLY if youre going to position yourself as some kind of leader in the aspirational lifestyle industry. Most people dont want to be walking around wearing a style that is a good decade or so passe.

Please give detailed examples of how to “update” and “freshen” the aesthetic of the show. I would love to hear what is considered updated.

The show to me reads as blandly pleasant. It’s the entire curated concept of a lifestyle show that seems dated more so than the details like clothing.

Seriously. I don't understand how straight cut jeans and a button down are "dated." She just dresses like a normal rich mom, which she is. It's millennial because millennials are moms now.

LOL. That's because you are a millennial! Dont you get that? In the same way a boomer isnt going to understand how their look is dated either. There are plenty of hip looking rich moms, not everyone is wearing what was en vogue in 2015.

Yes, I do get that for some people's style but Meghan's doesn't particularly read dated to me. Some other millennials' style does. I agree with the other poster, please give detailed examples of how to update and freshen the aesthetic of the show.

Yeah but that's what I'm trying to explain! You're a self admitted millennial and cant see the forest for the trees, lol. I did give some examples to the other poster but tbh it's not really my job to explain to middle-aged moms who think white skinny jeans and a chambray button down is totally chic about current fashion trends, lmao. You can always look up Vogue articles, use ChatGTP, or even open a dedicated thread here on DCUM if you truly want advice on updating your wardrobe (although this board skews Gen X so you might not get much help). Good luck!

Okay, first of all, the fact that you think people were asking for their own edification and not because you sounded ridiculous just blanket-stating that the show was dated. People were asking because they wanted you to show your work, not because they wanted your fashion advice lmfao.

Second of all, for someone claiming to be a fashion expert, there is a difference between chic and trendy. A button down and jeans is chic. Whatever flavor of the week the Gen z tiktok influencers are wearing is trendy.

The show *is* dated. The fact that that bothers a legion of self identified middle aged moms who are admitting that they developed their person style in the 2010s and havent updated it since the series finale of Girls doesn't change that fact, lmao.

A button down and jeans is no longer chic, not in the way most millennial women wear it. The fact that you cannot, cannot, CANNOT see this and are sooooo entrenched in the Isabel Marant aesthetic from 2010 is very, very telling about how out of touch you are with current fashions. Even the fact that you're so bothered by this discussion says that you know very well that your personal style stopped evolving a good decade back. And yes, you probably do look dated and old when you're out and about running errands, which is why I suspect you're so upset with the conversation.

I actually disagree on the setting. Content for sure.

I would definitely say her overall content is for sure dated, the setting, vibe, etc. But her clothes are really dated as well, especially taken in totality with everything else. Felt like I'd stepped into a time machine from 2016, lol

OK, but I see Gen Z in the Metro wearing pants cuts and sweater styles that my mom wore in 1985. It absolutely floors me. It legitimately looks like they took one of my mom's outfits from the Sears Cheryl Tiegs catalogue.
