[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes to this. I am 43 and when my generation dominated fashion trends, we came up with the dumbest, least comfortable, most regressive stuff possible: low rise jeans? visible thongs? skin tight jeans? body con dresses? cold shoulder tops? tiny bikinis? 5" wedge sandals? and on and on.

I now live in straight leg jeans with high waists, slightly oversized tees, shirts and button downs, Birkenstocks and comfy sneakers, leggings with sweatshirts. Dresses that float away from the body and don't require Spanx. Linen everything. Flattering one-piece bathing suits that I can relax in and don't have to wax every inch of my lower half to wear.

I feel more comfortable in my own skin and like my wardrobe actually suits my lifestyle, I think possible for the first time since 1998. 00s fashion was an absolute travesty (even as Gen Z brings it back, they are fixing it and making it less about the male gaze and more about living your wildest Delia's catalog fantasies) and only got moderately better in the 10s. But 20s fashion is amazing - comfortable, body-inclusive, practical. What were we thinking???? This is better.[/quote]

I completely agree and I’m also 43.  I hated the “going out top” with the low rise tight jeans and the terrible cuts for dresses and shorts.  I wish I had the body I had then with the clothes offered now.[/quote]

OP here and I totally agree. I don’t think I ever even questioned whether looking good was supposed to be so uncomfortable. Now I’m sitting here in high-waisted linen pants with a fitted tee and chunky cropped cardigan. This is the life.  [/quote]
