[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]

[b]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.

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

This is spot on.  I think a big part of the reason millennials (especially the older ones, like me) are still clinging to the "Christian Girl Autumn" tunics-over-skinny jeans look is because we now have mom bods and erroneously feel like the flowy tops camouflage our tummy pooches, but really... you aren't fooling anybody.

I think the whole logic of "THAT was unflattering and ugly....THIS is now flattering an you must swap immediately" is so silly.  They're all flattering on some people and less so on others, they've all had their really cute outfits that now look dated but will likely come around again.  Its not like we've suddenly gained some magical fashion and optics wisdom that NOW we understand what is flattering and what isn't and we were just so misguided before (the same things were written about skinny jeans when fashion was trying to push us all off bootcut....they always have to convince us out with the old (which is HIDEOUS and makes you look FAT and OLD) and in with the new, to keep making money.

Sort of... but also, fashion looks better on thinner bodies. That's how it's always been, and will always be. The point is, even if you're not stick thin, just wear what you like/want. But PP and others are responding to those who are insisting that trendy fashion just isn't flattering, blah blah. [/quote]

Not always true! I’m thin and really wanted to wear one of those little house on the prairie dresses last year. I looked like a child. They look so much better on women with curves.

Are uggs dated? Really want to buy a pair for this winter but don’t want to look like a ridiculous almost 40 year in Ugg’s. like matching my 6 year old haha[/quote]

Uggs are just a winter staple at this point. I guess the trendier styles go in and out of fashion, but the classic short styles are just … always there. Lol. I guess they’d look dated if you wore them with a miniskirt and a polo like we did in the summer in 2005 but other than that, no imo. [/quote]
