[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bootcut jeans, cropped sweaters and tops, mock neck and high cut tanks are in. Thin gold or silver necklaces instead of chunky statement. Two_scoops_of_style on Instagram has a few “millennial makeover” reels that show outfits going from millennial to modern [/quote]

I’ve seen some of these videos and I have come to the conclusion that the two things making Millennials look the most dated are the whole [b]“tall boots over skinny jeans or leggings” look, [/b]and long, tunic-like tops with leggings or skinny jeans. I think if you ditch just those two things and opt for white sneakers, flats, or like … literally any other shoe, and somewhat shorter tops, you’ve ditched the most dated styles.

There’s some dated accessories too like big statement necklaces, light indoor/decorative type scarves or blanket scarves, faux fur vests etc. that I’ve seen people our age holding on to as well but those are easy enough to just not wear anymore. [/quote]

I haven’t seen anyone wear this look in at least 7 years.[/quote]

I see it regularly on my kids teachers (elementary school, teachers seem to be in their mid-30s to mid-40s) or a similar look with dressy flats instead and with a longer fitted cardigan. I also see it a lot outside of this area. [/quote]

I can vouch that this is a particularly tough fashion stretch if you’re a teacher. The “trends” are too casual for work (ie light wash wide leg jeans and combat boots) and the next step up is more business casual (dress pants, blouses) which is more reserved for administrators at my school. So, many of us are still hanging in to darker skinnier and boots/flats. [/quote]

So true- teacher here and I still wear my skinnies to work almost every day. And I'm not giving up my waterfall cardigans and scarfs. I guess one of the perks of being in my late 50's is I dgaf about what I wear to work.   :lol: And I feel confident both trying current trends but also sticking with what I know works for my body. I did get some high waisted jeans and cropped sweaters to wear out at night.

I'm cracking up at some of these styles that are in now-everything really does come back around. [/quote]
