My personal (and unwarranted) opinions on fashion trends
Hey hot girls! This week I have a topic that I have been itching to write about: My opinion on fashion trends. I am here to tell you today all of my opinions whether you asked for them or not! I will preface this with please do not let my opinion or the opinion of others discourage you from wearing things that you love. The point of fashion is to express YOU, not anybody else. With that being said this is always a fun topic and I love to ruffle some feathers and see who agrees with me. Let’s get into it.
First trend I want to discuss is the newfound obsession the internet has with leopard print. In my opinion, leopard print never went anywhere. This print has been a classic for at least my entire lifetime and I truly think there will always be a way to wear it that is “trendy”. However, leopard print denim needs to go and here’s why. Whenever you see any pattern printed on to a denim piece of clothing it is an easy assumption that it’s a micro trend. The best example I can think of is the cow print jeans that were trending during the pandemic. The leopard print jeans will be cool for about six months and then they will get thrown out or donated so the next micro trend can replace them. I personally think that printed denim appears “cheap”. There’s something that is not luxurious about printing a pattern on to denim pants and I truly can’t explain why. Possibly because so many fast-fashion brands do this, but big designers fall victim to this as well (I believe). Summary is: leopard print is always in, printed jeans are always out.
We really need to talk about casual sneakers. There have been so many over the years that become super popular and then the next shoe comes in and replaces it. Converse used to be the coolest thing ever, then keds, then vans, then Adidas superstars, then air force ones, then platform converse, the entire chunky dad tennis shoe phase, and now we have heavily moved into the Adidas sambas. My personal take on this is that none of them in a neutral color are ever truly out of style (maybe vans and keds those aren’t really my thing). You could form an argument for the platform converse because platform shoes in general were extremely trendy in the 2020s and arguably still are. However I feel like generally speaking all of these shoes in their most generic form (no crazy colors or patterns) could survive the fashion lifecycle. Sneakers are another realm of fashion that I never really understood in a way so this might be a very controversial opinion. Some people are sneaker heads and that is so great and cool for them, I just never got super into it. Bottom line: there will always be a time and place all neutral casual sneakers (unless they don’t have laces sorry).
Okay girls we have to talk about jorts. I f**king LOVE jorts. The perfect pair of jorts can genuinely change your life and you cannot convince me otherwise. I do think that if they are too long or baggy then those might go out of style a little sooner, but I do think they’d come pack (i.e. the super laggy 90s jorts). You can put these shorts with arguably any top and create the most interesting, Pinterest board, “cool girl” outfit of all time. They are also great for any event because of their length. You can dress them up for brunch with a blouse and some mules, or dress them all the way down and wear them as a beach cover-up. Jorts are one of the most versatile and iconic pieces of clothing and you will never change my mind.
Since we are on the topic of shorts I have no choice but to honorable mention bloomers and micro shorts. I do think that these are micro-trends and we are going to look back and think they are so silly but I am obsessed. I think they look SO badass and I want to get multiple pairs, but I’m trying to hold off to see if it’ll stick around or die out quick.
You guys are really going to hate this one and I apologize in advance, but the maxi denim skirts HAVE to go. I will say they look really cute on tall girlies and it gives like a country alternative east-coast vibe, but I can’t get behind it. I think they are cute right now but I think so soon we are going to see the downfall of the maxi jean skirt because the lack of versatility. I see the skirt and I see one very specific vibe and that vibe only. It’s a great look, but then what else can I even use it for. I know y’all are loving your denim maxi skirts and I hear you and see you I AM you, but it’s a no from me baby. Keep looking hot in them if you have one though and prove me wrong.
Hot girls this is my last unwarranted opinion on fashion trends and it is somewhat of a prediction: wedges are coming back. I’m not necessarily talking about the cork wedges because I think there is a specific time and place for those. Although if you live in Florida I truly think the cork wedge was never out. I just truly think the wedge is going to march its way back in and give us hot girls the style AND comfort we need when we have to serve looks. Imagine a a black wedge with a thong toe, a pair of slightly oversized jeans, a baby tee or girly blouse, and a mini shoulder bag. I just think it’ll be so good and I am already on the hunt for some hot girl wedges.
Okay hot girls that wraps up this weeks hot girl talk about my opinions on fashion trends. Please remember that my opinion is truly just for your entertainment and you should wear whatever it is you love and makes you feel hot! Confidence is the hottest fashion trend that will never go out of style.
