Sometimes the trend that comes along is so flattering to your body type and makes you feel so good and goes with everything you happen to have, so I say it’s perfectly reasonable to keep on wearing it.
true! this is how i feel about low rise and full length tops on me. and the opposite is true too!! for example, i’ve always thought the t shirt layered under spaghetti straps example she mentioned is soooo cute, but every time i’ve tried it for years it just looks really awkward and unflattering on me ): i don’t think it’s outdated, it just simply doesn’t suit me.
I saw a video saying that flannels are outdated, and I strongly disagree. They're never going away. I can especially say this as someone in the colorado mountains.
One thing I find funny with the “outdated” 2020/2021 trends is that I never saw anyone in real life wearing most of them. I think we mostly got exposed to them on social media so it appeared like they were bigger trends than they actually were.
pretty much yeah, since most of us did spend all our time online since there was nowhere to go. also since covid-19 was a tough time for a lot of people they may associate it with bad memories?
In England it is constantly the weather for layering long sleeve tops under strappy dresses, otherwise you never get to wear your strappy clothes unless you go on holiday somewhere warm. I think local climate plays a huge role in what people wear around you. And if you live in an area that isn't a big city, or isn't known as a trendy place online...people are still wearing all sorts of things.
My most unpopular fashion opinion is that I don’t get why mullet skirts/hi-low skirts get hated on so much. I LOVED being able to have my legs out and not have to worry about my butt showing too. Plus the way they trail behind you as you walk??? Majestic.
As someone who is insecure about their lower tummy area I gotta say, when they said that high rise was out and low rise was in (2021-ish?), I have never ignored a trend that hard and on purpose. You will never catch me in a low rise anything ever. Also I never understood why everyone was so aggressive about people wearing skinny jeans, like it's literally just the form of your legs but denim, it's not that deep, damn😭
i felt exactly the same way about low rise but honestly i wear mid rise now over anything else because i find high waisted jeans and trousers are soooo uncomfortable after wearing a pair of midrise for ages, you still won’t catch me in low rise tho 😭
Nothing wrong with wearing things deemed to be “outdated”. I’m 52, and see so many trends come and go. Wear what you like. I also use a free app to organize my wardrobe (Indyx), but any will do to help me figure out what I’m wearing and different ways to wear them.
OMG I'm obsessed with corsets! As someone really into historical fashion, I was SO happy to finally see a trend from centuries ago come back in style! I love adding little historical touches to my outfits, so corsets are a staple in my wardrobe. I don't care if they're trendy or not, at this point they're a core part of my personal style and I'm not stopping wearing them! I'm always on the look for more. The one you have from that smal business is PERFECT! I love it so much! I thrifted a bedsheet with the same pattern and I can't wait to make it into a corset and skirt two piece.
I would love a style challenge video where you take those “core” fashion trends from your memories and combining them! Think Harley t with the sparkle pants!
Trends, in my opinion is mostly just ways to discover new possibilities with clothing, I have discovered so many things I like because they became trendy, and I still wear things from years ago and plan on continuing to as long as I enjoy it, trends just allow for things to come into our consciousness that weren’t there before, and some we like and some we don’t, but we get the opportunity to consider whether we do or not because they are in the public consciousness
Inspired to go thrifting and look for “outdated” things I love. Really feeling that people like you helped me just wear what I like (vs just what’s cool).
I still wear cropped sweaters, I PREFER them. They look and feel better with my preferred high rise pants and skirts. Also, they layer over a dress better that way. But I'm very pear shaped, so adding bulk to my top and have it end at my waist looks best.
I remember the first time I saw a girl at my rural texan school wear a cropped sweater over a dress and it blew my mind, I complimented her on what I thought was a skater skirt, but as we got ready for dance class she showed me it was indeed a dress!! Oh 2013/14 what a magical time to have been a pre teen 😂
Hey Alexa, first of all know that I adore you! Then I wanted to say that I was a fashion student in Paris and that many students (including me) still wore tank tops over t-shirts! For me it's like a basic to add a little fun to a tshirt
I'm old and tired. I wore platform sneakers and plastic chokers the first time they were popular. My jeans never went high rise. Trends are most importantly viewed through what you love, what you look good in, and your lifestyle.
Okkkk I still love bustier pieces soo much and never thought about it hahah- and I love your open minded opinion on trends and thoughtfulness on all things fashion. I love when you said “timelessness is different for everyone”
Its funny you went with this topic today! Last night i went through my closet and found a sheer striped waterfall cardigan, just the epitome of outdated 2010s fashion. Its in bad shape and very fast fashion and i expected to hate it but i was cold when i put it on to try and so i kept it on, and after spending the evening wearing it i have decided i actually love how it feels to wear it! even if i dont see it slotting that well into anything i'd wear out. Since it's in rough shape (tons of pulls) i am thinking about tracing it and using it as a sewing pattern. I'm still going to try to mend it too Great video!
As a business casual girly, the tank top/dress over baby tee is VERY much alive!! I've come to LOVE this formula and wear it multiple times a week, it makes my clothes a lot more flexible for the workplace, and then I can take the tee off after work and continue my day!
chokers being considered outdated is wild to me bc I always thought of them as timeless. for some reason I feel like having a choker or a short necklace really elevates my outfit and are kind of a staple for me. I didn't even get into tattoo chokers until the past couple of years but I always thought of them as like a 90s/y2k thing bc I remember being a kid in the early 2000s and my sisters making them out of those tiny elastic hair ties. like it just adds so much personality to even the simplest outfits. accessories are so good for really personalizing your outfits in general but I'm a necklace girlie and will forever love chokers, even those 2014 tumblr style ones with the lil crescent moons and stuff, I just wear them in a more modern way bc I'm not a fan of 2014 tumblr fashion personally lol
I think majority of these trends that surfaced from quarantine are js out of fashion now bc at the time people were purchasing them from rly cheap sites (aka shein) and over the years the quality has diminished sm that no one wants to wear them out again. Such a shame too bc it feels like only fast fashion companies were producing those pieces of clothing in the first place. I cant even think of any trending pieces that were actually good quality at the time.
I'm with you on crop sweaters and choker necklaces. I'm from Germany, so we do get cold winters, but you can still wear cropped sweaters if they're not too short and your skirt or jeans are high/mid rise. To stay extra warm I often wear something underneath. I really don't like "regular length" sweaters, they have to be long and oversize or cropped for me.
I like cropped sweaters in theory (especially as a fellow high rise lover), but I've banned myself from getting any. They look cute, but I can't wear them in any weather, so they're really unpractical for me. Where I live it's either too cold for a cropped sweater or too warm for a sweater altogether, no matter cropped or not. I'm talking about the really cropped ones, though, like the ones at 9:29. The vintage one you own is not as short, I'd totally wear something like that during autumn with absolutely no weather concerns.
This video is so refreshing! Trends are a way for everyone to experiment and find their own style, I hate the idea that style has to be timeless and you put it so well
i’ve never fully been into that style because it’s a bit too beachy/coastal inspired for my taste, but i have this amazing vintage oversized shirt with a huge farm print on it and i love wearing it as a dress with bloomers/gingham shorts underneath and it creates a super similar silhouette as vsco girl style and i still think it’s so cute!! maybe if people just chose a different inspo to mimic the same silhouette they’d like it again :-)
I definitely am open to wearing cropped sweaters now I finally found a long white button up in my size. It does help that I can knit them myself, since that makes I have way more say in the style, color and mostly material - as you said, the ones in the stores used to be a lot of acrylic and polyester (sweaters still tend to be mostly those materials now they're not cropped), and it's so nice that I don't have to put up with that! It also helps that even when it gets cold I usually mostly need more warmth around my shoulders, while the rest of my torso doesn't need that extra layer. Cropped sweaters are perfect for that.
Dress to be the old person you wanna be and I say that as someone who would love to be an old artsy hippie ❤you said it beautifully “timeless looks different on everyone”
my personal "outdated" favs: Skirts Over Jeans. Velour (especially floral print/cutout/"burnout" velour). Doc Martens (actual workwear. tbf this is also for my job). "Quirky" found-object earrings. Flannels with band tees/band tees over long sleeve. Stacked bead/bangle bracelets (mostly stone or glass beads. occasional Kandi may slip in). Converse. Lace-up mid calf boots. Chokers. Super-high-waisted jeans. terrible RAWR XD sparkle vomit t shirts. stripey knit sweaters with pockets in contrasting colors. unnecessary scarves/belts/scarves as belts. Tiny vests. GAP boy's cargo shorts- wait no whoops that one's back in style now apparently?
Hey Alexa you look so cute in this video ❤️ also those shiny metallic pants are SO FUN. Pair them with those sunglasses with the colored lenses, thatd be so cool. 😎 I think summer fashion is slowly going to change as we become more sensitive to the sun, like more breathable full coverage outfits instead of short shorts and tanks. I already carry a parasol but those are definitely coming back into fashion too, get yourself a "UV blocking umbrella"!
cropped sweaters are a STAPLE in my wardrobe. I probably have 15 total and wear them with high rise sweats almost every day that I'm home... 90% of my pants are high rise so they just work for me! won't stop wearing them any time soon :) I'm currently looking for the perfect bustier/corset top to layer with... also--just wore a long sleeve turtleneck under a flowy cottage core dress this week while I was painting and it made me feel so whimsical, yet kept me warm (I'm in Canada). love these videos Alexa! it's cooler to not be TOO trendy in my opinion, and instead, embrace the fashion we genuinely love long term.
I think the checkered rug is cute! Also I use to have a major choker collection, I wonder if they’re at my parents house somewhere lol. V down to bring chokers back
I just did dip dye on my hair a week ago and have already gotten so many compliments. I have chocolate brown hair and did Manic Panic Electric Lizard on the ends. I really hope this trend comes back because it's so much fun!
I still love a one-shoulder top for one very specific reason. I have tattoos on one of my arms and it looks cool as heck to play on the asymmetry and have them out like that
I’ve always dreamed of wearing lace bralettes because they’re SO cute but as a large chested girl I’m way too self-conscious and it’s hard to find ones that fit
1:07 I remember watching a thrifting video from you and you styled a Tanktop over a tshirt - It literally didn’t occur to me you could do that, and it then became a state of my personal wardrobe - thank you ! ☺️
I got cold-shouldered out from Torrid and other plus-size retailers, because they like to assume that’s ALL we want to wear. But checkered print will always be timeless (hello, Vans), and no one will ever change my mind. I honestly don’t have time or energy to keep up with most trends, I just wear what makes me happy… but usually it’s black. 🤣🖤
If you can sew even a little, bralettes are one of the easiest things to make from scratch, you just need two pieces of fabric, a longer one for around your torso, some elastic and maybe some lace to sew on the edges (there are a few good tutorials here on youtube). Definitely recommend for people looking for a new craft project while also getting something out of it that you love to wear (and is specifically made for your own body). I made one years ago and it's still my favorite bra (also, bralettes basically made me realize bra's didn't have to hurt and I never went back to any other kind of bra, it's both pretty and comfortable).
If you want to try the pink dip dye hair you can use something like overtone or the rose gold spray from Kristin Ess! I’ve done both and they’re great!
I looooove cropped jumpers & tops, I’m petite so everything comes up huge on me & cropped tops/jumpers hit my waist at the right length & flatter my frame perfectly 👌🏻✨
I have SO MANY lace bralettes from American Eagle. I bought them a few years ago, but for some reason, AE seems to wanna hold onto the lace bralette trend, so you might be able to find a cute one on there!
I still love a peplum top and it's been on my thrift wishlist for a while. I also really love a long sleeve under a tee shirt, like the Y2K skater style.
I wear… so many of these still lol. I also was in early college when a lot of these trends came out and I kind of started to find my ‘style’ so I just stuck with it lolol. Chokers are my staple and I’ll never stop!
I love that when you were talking about cropped sweaters i was wearing one 😓 im not gonna lie some of them are not just it but i love them honesly (i feel like they fit into my body really well)
omg i still have my fast fashion zebra flair pants i wear almost weekly 😭 i don’t care that they’re so outdated, i adore them!! and i feel less guilty for previously purchasing them fast fashion because i’ve worn them for years lol. also also same exact feelings on the checkered rugs i’m just about to buy one for my bedroom and i don’t even care if i’m late to a trend that’s already over!! if you actually like it it doesn’t matter if it’s in or out ~
Try looking for a lace, soft cup, balconette bra instead! I have a bigger chest so bralets have always been out of the question for me but I have so many lace balconette bras that work perfectly!
I LOVE checkers like as long as it's not too extreme or overboard i will almost always take a checkered element to my outfit as an accessory, detail, item, bag, etc I wont ever do checkers on checkers bc that's tacky imo, but I still loveeee them so much
18:00 if u do a bleach bath (bleach powder, developer and shampoo) since shampoo lathers but bleach doesn’t, u could do 30 developer and do just one application and there will be way less of not no spotting. But do or don’t do whatever u line with ur hair, just wasn’t sure u knew abt bleach baths. ❤❤❤❤
So funny that you mentioned the layered shirts. Growing up as a modest girlie I was always putting a tight fitting tee under a strappy shirt. Recently I've found it cringe and got rid of most of my under tees and over tanks. It is nice to have less pieces in the laundry. I still think it looks good under a casual dress or jumpsuit tho.
i’m so late to this omg but i love this so much!! i think it’s such a great thing to enjoy “outdated” fashion for the sake of not only personal style but sustainable fashion :)
I just dip dyed my hair black! I used to dye my hair like crazy but then I shaved my head. So dipped tips is the way to go because it is such a low commitment
Speaking of shirred tops, you should try making one yourself if you haven’t before! I just did that recently and it’s pretty easy. You just need elastic thread for your bobbin and then sew straight lines
I gasped at the dress / tanktop over baby tee thing I do it allll the time! and will never stop- it’s the only way I can fit into certain low cut items like that while having a big chest😭 otherwise everything will fall out …. lol
i still love all of these, just as much as i love the 2014 tumblr grunge and i just purchased a checkered rug for my new place, some trends are just timeless whether the tiktok fashion police likes it or not - since capris are back in style now (and apparently checkered vans slip ons are a trend now? lol), i think it’s a matter of about two years until younger gen z will be making tiktoks about “discovering how cute skinny jeans are” haha
I dip dyed my hair all of 2022 and loved it. I did stop though, because I had dip dyed it a deep deep red after doing green and loved the red so much I decided to dye all my hair red. Now I gotta wait for all the red to grow out lmao
i wear whatever i want. i couldn’t care less if its not trendy or cool anymore. it seems like the internet cycles through trends so quickly now that i don’t even know what’s “in” anymore, and frankly, i don’t really care lol. if i like the way something looks on me, i’m gonna wear it
I think being as old as when the popcorn top came out at Walmart first time around. I personally hate popcorn top BUT I like the overall idea. You’ve got something going on with that. 🎉
Sometimes the trend that comes along is so flattering to your body type and makes you feel so good and goes with everything you happen to have, so I say it’s perfectly reasonable to keep on wearing it.
true! this is how i feel about low rise and full length tops on me. and the opposite is true too!! for example, i’ve always thought the t shirt layered under spaghetti straps example she mentioned is soooo cute, but every time i’ve tried it for years it just looks really awkward and unflattering on me ): i don’t think it’s outdated, it just simply doesn’t suit me.
Exactly! Cropped jumpers & tops flatter my petite frame perfectly 👌🏻

I felt this way too! However I will say if you find a really awesome and flattering pair of low rise, it can also increase your confidence.

@@ellakelly612 I think it may just be in my head that I thought it was outdated 😭

Love your defense of a checkered rug! People are concerned too often with ‘timeless’, but for whom? Thank you!
I love seeing people own this rug! I want it for myself
If u dip dye ur hair pink at the ends it will become neopolitan. Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry!

I probably have 15 total and wear them with high rise sweats almost every day that I'm home... 90% of my pants are high rise so they just work for me! won't stop wearing them any time soon :) I'm currently looking for the perfect bustier/corset top to layer with... also--just wore a long sleeve turtleneck under a flowy cottage core dress this week while I was painting and it made me feel so whimsical, yet kept me warm (I'm in Canada). love these videos Alexa! it's cooler to not be TOO trendy in my opinion, and instead, embrace the fashion we genuinely love long term.
I think the checkered rug is cute! Also I use to have a major choker collection, I wonder if they’re at my parents house somewhere lol. V down to bring chokers back
I just did dip dye on my hair a week ago and have already gotten so many compliments. I have chocolate brown hair and did Manic Panic Electric Lizard on the ends. I really hope this trend comes back because it's so much fun!
I still love a one-shoulder top for one very specific reason. I have tattoos on one of my arms and it looks cool as heck to play on the asymmetry and have them out like that
I’ve always dreamed of wearing lace bralettes because they’re SO cute but as a large chested girl I’m way too self-conscious and it’s hard to find ones that fit
1:07 I remember watching a thrifting video from you and you styled a Tanktop over a tshirt - It literally didn’t occur to me you could do that, and it then became a state of my personal wardrobe - thank you ! ☺️
Hand muffs for wintertime!
I got cold-shouldered out from Torrid and other plus-size retailers, because they like to assume that’s ALL we want to wear. But checkered print will always be timeless (hello, Vans), and no one will ever change my mind. I honestly don’t have time or energy to keep up with most trends, I just wear what makes me happy… but usually it’s black. 🤣🖤
Torrid is really in the cold shoulder fever, aren’t they?
If you can sew even a little, bralettes are one of the easiest things to make from scratch, you just need two pieces of fabric, a longer one for around your torso, some elastic and maybe some lace to sew on the edges (there are a few good tutorials here on youtube).
Definitely recommend for people looking for a new craft project while also getting something out of it that you love to wear (and is specifically made for your own body).
I made one years ago and it's still my favorite bra (also, bralettes basically made me realize bra's didn't have to hurt and I never went back to any other kind of bra, it's both pretty and comfortable).
If you want to try the pink dip dye hair you can use something like overtone or the rose gold spray from Kristin Ess! I’ve done both and they’re great!
I looooove cropped jumpers & tops, I’m petite so everything comes up huge on me & cropped tops/jumpers hit my waist at the right length & flatter my frame perfectly 👌🏻✨
I have SO MANY lace bralettes from American Eagle. I bought them a few years ago, but for some reason, AE seems to wanna hold onto the lace bralette trend, so you might be able to find a cute one on there!
I still love a peplum top and it's been on my thrift wishlist for a while. I also really love a long sleeve under a tee shirt, like the Y2K skater style.
I feel like peplum is totally making a comeback right now! I was on alter’d state the other day and there were a lot of really cute peplum tops!
I wear… so many of these still lol. I also was in early college when a lot of these trends came out and I kind of started to find my ‘style’ so I just stuck with it lolol. Chokers are my staple and I’ll never stop!
I love that when you were talking about cropped sweaters i was wearing one 😓 im not gonna lie some of them are not just it but i love them honesly (i feel like they fit into my body really well)
omg i still have my fast fashion zebra flair pants i wear almost weekly 😭 i don’t care that they’re so outdated, i adore them!! and i feel less guilty for previously purchasing them fast fashion because i’ve worn them for years lol. also also same exact feelings on the checkered rugs i’m just about to buy one for my bedroom and i don’t even care if i’m late to a trend that’s already over!! if you actually like it it doesn’t matter if it’s in or out ~
Try looking for a lace, soft cup, balconette bra instead! I have a bigger chest so bralets have always been out of the question for me but I have so many lace balconette bras that work perfectly!
I absolutely love lace bralettes! They're so dainty and beautiful. I recommend the ones from the Queen of The Foxes!
Thanks for posting, it's like catching up with an old friend. Needed it today.
I LOVE checkers
like as long as it's not too extreme or overboard i will almost always take a checkered element to my outfit as an accessory, detail, item, bag, etc
I wont ever do checkers on checkers bc that's tacky imo, but I still loveeee them so much
We used to dip dye for the summer holidays because we weren’t allowed dyed hair and then cut the dyed parts off when we went back to school
Never thought about dip dye but now,I want it!
18:00 if u do a bleach bath (bleach powder, developer and shampoo) since shampoo lathers but bleach doesn’t, u could do 30 developer and do just one application and there will be way less of not no spotting. But do or don’t do whatever u line with ur hair, just wasn’t sure u knew abt bleach baths. ❤❤❤❤
Alexa you gotta get your lace bralettes from the bins! I find them EVERY time I go.
So funny that you mentioned the layered shirts. Growing up as a modest girlie I was always putting a tight fitting tee under a strappy shirt. Recently I've found it cringe and got rid of most of my under tees and over tanks. It is nice to have less pieces in the laundry. I still think it looks good under a casual dress or jumpsuit tho.
i’m so late to this omg but i love this so much!! i think it’s such a great thing to enjoy “outdated” fashion for the sake of not only personal style but sustainable fashion :)
wow I’m Australian and I see one shoulder tops all the time, both in shops and being worn
Glassons is going hard for one shoulder right now 😅
I just dip dyed my hair black! I used to dye my hair like crazy but then I shaved my head. So dipped tips is the way to go because it is such a low commitment
Iggy Pop made the metallic pants iconic so I definitely think it will make the trend rounds. I remember it coming back around 2009 ish as well
😂love your gramma impression😂
An adorable grandma for sure
I like cropped sweaters. It just has to be the right one. Not all cropped sweaters are created equally.
Yes to pink hair!! 🎨💕
Hi Alexa I don’t follow peoples trends I just wear stuff that I like. Love your content ❤
for me, i still love angel print i think it's adorbs
yayy i loved the first part you uploaded of this video!! there's so many fun trends that i still love seeing people style 💞 and omg i miss polyvore!
I really love ponchos!!! They were huge when i was a tween in the early 2000s!
dip dye your hair PLEASE !! so cute
Speaking of shirred tops, you should try making one yourself if you haven’t before! I just did that recently and it’s pretty easy. You just need elastic thread for your bobbin and then sew straight lines
I like to wear crop sweaters with a flowy white blouse under it as I am not thin or younger but like the sweater 🪡
I gasped at the dress / tanktop over baby tee thing I do it allll the time! and will never stop- it’s the only way I can fit into certain low cut items like that while having a big chest😭 otherwise everything will fall out …. lol
Free People never got rid of their lace bralettes! They're pretty good quality and very comfortable, I still wear mine all the time.
I am also a huge choker fan! I have two right now that feel a bit more modern I suppose, one is moonstone, the other is evil eyes of various colors.
I went to a local vintage store the other day in Montreal and they had a whole rack full of popcorn tops 😅
You might enjoy short regency stays, but like as outerwear. Bernadette Banner just made a set on her channel
i still love all of these, just as much as i love the 2014 tumblr grunge and i just purchased a checkered rug for my new place, some trends are just timeless whether the tiktok fashion police likes it or not - since capris are back in style now (and apparently checkered vans slip ons are a trend now? lol), i think it’s a matter of about two years until younger gen z will be making tiktoks about “discovering how cute skinny jeans are” haha
loved that intro… here take my like!!
I love checker print!
ur hair looks so gooood 🥹
I dip dyed my hair all of 2022 and loved it. I did stop though, because I had dip dyed it a deep deep red after doing green and loved the red so much I decided to dye all my hair red. Now I gotta wait for all the red to grow out lmao
i wear whatever i want. i couldn’t care less if its not trendy or cool anymore. it seems like the internet cycles through trends so quickly now that i don’t even know what’s “in” anymore, and frankly, i don’t really care lol. if i like the way something looks on me, i’m gonna wear it
I love these videos!! I really love vintage clothing, and want to re-wear many things from the past!
I think being as old as when the popcorn top came out at Walmart first time around. I personally hate popcorn top BUT I like the overall idea. You’ve got something going on with that. 🎉
Free people has lace bras that are super cute
