[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Gen Z fashion isn't for me. I'm riding this wave out and sticking to simple timeless pieces.[/quote]

This stuff is awful. The crop tops. The mom jeans. It's look terrible on everyone, even the young and fit.

Wake me when it's over.[/quote]

But it actually doesn't look terrible at all.  Here's the thing ... a lot of women INCORRECTLY think they look better in skinny jeans + tunic length top than straight-leg & high-rise jean + crop-length top.  Women feel like the former is flowy and covering things like FUPA, etc. up, so it must look better than the latter.  But, truly, nope.  For most of us, a tunic length top is hitting us at our widest point, and therefore making us look... WIDE.  And if you are at all pear shaped, the skinny jeans you think flatter you . . . DON'T.

[b]Just try buying a pair of high-waisted straight-cut denim and pairing it with a "cropped" slim sweater that sits basically just at the top of the waist (so not showing midriff).  Even if you have a bit of a FUPA, you will look longer and less wide than in a tunic-length top and skinnies.[/b]

Lug sole boots are tricky unless you are quite tall -- good other options are loafers or white sneakers.  Bonus: they are comfy![/quote]

And then turn sideways in your mirror...yup, fat.[/quote]

And when you turn sideways in your mirror wearing skinny jeans and a tunic, you look like Bella Hadid?

Gen Z has the right idea about how you don't have to hide every imperfection under a tent.  [/quote]

+2 [b]we older Millennials and older have got to get over this “Omg fat” nonsense[/b]. Your body looks like your body no matter what you’re wearing, style-wise. [/quote]

Okay.  As a GenXer, I'm wondering if you remember US diet culture and how hideous it was in the 80s.  It's been rebranded in the name of health (intermittent fasting!  strong is the new skinny!), but casually blaming women for struggling in this environment is all kinds of lousy.[/quote]

Thank you. Millennials didn't invent any of this. Bad body image and diet culture existed long before it was imprinted on us. [/quote]

In fairness it existed before baby boomers too.[/quote]

And it exists for Gen Z too because all these Gen X and Millennial women are their moms passing down these nonsense ideas of looking fat in anything but skinny jeans and tunics. They’re getting the same message from you, they’re just not molding their entire sense of self worth around it. [/quote]
