Trends You Are Sick Of...

[audace]

I involuntarily grimace and my skin instinctively crawls nauseously whenever someone says…”luxury” [when 99% of the time it isn’t]. That overused word is in the same standing as “classy”, and only conjures seething and loathing these days.)

This statement is i-co-nic.

On a serious note, everyone with a basic colour palette and with a gym membership being a microblogger with an OF in the side, because outside of thirsty people nobody cares about their "style".

Yes, we get that you work out. No, wearing a tank top with an ASOS necklace and Zara Man big pants do not make you a fashion connoisseur.

Also, fashion + lifestyle "influencers, critics, and educators" that create nonsensical buzz with shallow sarcastic/memeable criticism, but this is more often happening in menswear space now.

I remember like before we had Style Zeitgeist and the Julius, Owens, Demeulmeester, Andrea Ya'aqov, Isabel Benenato... crowd was versus the mainstream luxury crowd of Diors, YSLs and etc. at the time.

Now it is the same, but the former brands switched to The Soloist, Visvim, Lang, Suicoke, still Owens, Stone Island and co., while the latter ones to BV, Loewe, Jacquemus...

I miss when actually stylish and knowledgeable people were on the discussion. When Roitfeld was going through her looks, photo of hers in her Rick skirt and Chanel jacket, effortless, personal and chic. Or Daphne Guinness mixing Van Herpen and Dior.

The fashion "experts" gatekeeping is such a cheap trick for getting the "clout".

Workwear (*cough* carhartt *cough*) on people that have literally or metaphorically never worked a day in their lives, and an overlapping style: American South/Midwestern/Hunting attire on Metropolitan Yankees. I am a North Eastcoaster myself and I think it's asinine when people from my area wear cowboy boots and camouflage when they would never in their lives hunt, do trade work, or live further than 50 miles from a major metropolitan.

Also, I don't find that aesthetic sufficiently stylish to excuse its misappropriation

This is very specific... but my coworker who either cosplays as Tom Ford *or* only wears Carhartt.

^ it's disgusting!

I have a coworker who wears suits but for whatever reason he keeps choosing cigarette type of pants (two sizes too small cause he works out of course). Another, younger coworker once said that he wished his suits looked like that on him and I couldn't help but immediately say 'are you serious!?'.. the looks these men gave me! they were all like 'you don't like the way x looks!? we all want to look like him!' 🤣. So you want to dress like Jojo Siwa, great. I don't care if you're ripped, just go on google, look up 'henry cavill suit' or something and figure it out! calves and butt should never protrude in a men's suit, I know nothing about suits but will die on this hill!

People wearing toiletry bags as pochettes…
It’s ridiculous.

And then when you try and shop for bags anywhere online it's sellers who attached some amazon chain/shoulder strap to it and are charging upwards of $300 for them, it's ridiculous!

LMFAO …Perhaps they didn’t know it’s a toiletry bag? The desperation to carry logos/monograms/signatures no matter what it’s on, just to impress, is ridiculously depressing.

It’s the same as adult show-and-tell haul videos. The fawning over crass logo/monogram/signature merch without any hint of criticism is why all these brands can get away with offensively high prices for trash. More than anything, flexing is so gross. And that adults feel the need to show and tell on the interweb what useless states symbols they just bought without the self-awareness to feel embarrassed on just how crass the behaviour is, can only be another step towards the downfall of Western civilization that's spearheaded by those Kardashians. (…Or it’s just an unpleasant reminder to when I was little and my family had just moved to another country, and still being poor, I dreaded my turn on Show and Tell day-- since I didn’t have a new toy to show and tell LOOOL)

@KoV I especially feel confused when I see men dressed like that during the winter. It's -15C, you're allowed to wear socks that cover your ankles and longer pants. It's ok.
