Fashion trends: Evaluate fashion trends carefully before purchasing to ensure timeless pieces that never go out of style are prioritized, providing a functional and versatile wardrobe
Not all fashion trends are created equal. Some trends, like timeless pieces, are worth investing in as they never go out of style. Others, known as hyper trendy pieces, can quickly become stale and leave you feeling bored and overwhelmed with your closet. It's essential to critically evaluate trends before making a purchase to ensure you're getting the most value out of your wardrobe. For instance, when it comes to shorts, mid-thigh length denim shorts are considered timeless as they're functional, versatile, and not extreme in any way. On the other hand, low-waisted or super ripped up denim shorts can lean more towards the trendy side. The ideal timeless short is comfortable, with a mid to high waistline, and a classic denim wash. In conclusion, it's crucial to be mindful of the trends you're following and make informed decisions based on their longevity. By focusing on timeless pieces, you'll have a wardrobe filled with items you'll never tire of, ensuring you always have something to wear.
Fashion timelessness: While some fashion items, like white linen pieces, are considered timeless due to their classic appeal and versatility, others, like Juicy Couture, may be more trend-driven and less likely to stand the test of time.
While some fashion items, like a well-styled Birkin bag, can be appreciated for their design and timeless appeal, others, such as Juicy Couture's maximalist aesthetic, may be more trend-driven and less likely to stand the test of time. The speaker shares a personal connection to Juicy Couture, having fond memories of finding affordable pieces at TJ Maxx during her younger years. However, she acknowledges that the brand's style tends to lean towards maximalism and trends, and may not be considered timeless in the long run. On the other hand, the speaker believes that white linen pieces, which can come in various forms like skirts, shorts, pants, and blouses, are truly timeless due to their classic summer appeal and versatility. The speaker's perspective offers a nuanced view on the timelessness of different fashion items and brands.
Timeless fashion elements: White linen is a timeless piece that adds sophistication when mixed and matched with other items. Personalized clothing provides emotional connection and value to one's wardrobe.
While some fashion trends may come and go, there are timeless elements that add elegance and personal touch to an outfit. The speaker expresses her preference for white linen as a timeless piece that can be mixed and matched with other items to add sophistication. She is on the fence about dresses over pants, acknowledging the potential for timelessness but often finding it awkward-looking. Personalized clothing, on the other hand, is seen as a timeless trend due to the emotional connection it provides. By adding a name or personal symbol to an item, it becomes a cherished possession that adds meaning and value to one's wardrobe.
Fashion trends: Not all fashion trends are timeless, some may come and go due to discomfort or excessiveness, it's important to consider practicality and comfort before labeling a trend timeless.
While certain fashion trends, such as tabi shoes and oversized boots, may be popular now, they may not necessarily be timeless. The speaker believes that these trends can be uncomfortable and excessive, making it difficult for them to last. Bell bottom jeans, a trend from the 70s, have also made a comeback but the speaker is not a fan of the excessively flared style. Instead, they appreciate more subtle 70s inspired styles. Overall, the speaker believes that fashion trends come and go, and it's important to consider the comfort and practicality of a trend before labeling it timeless.
Timeless fashion trends: Mid to mid-high waisted boot cut jeans, socks with sandals, and classic cargo skirts in neutral colors and simple designs are considered timeless fashion trends due to their comfort and functionality, while extreme versions and trendy styles may come and go.
While some fashion trends come and go, there are certain styles that the speaker considers timeless. For instance, mid to mid-high waisted boot cut jeans, socks with sandals, and classic cargo skirts in neutral colors and simple designs are among the trends the speaker believes have staying power. However, extreme versions of these trends, such as low-waisted cargo pants or bell-bottom jeans, and trendy styles like platform shoes and mini cargo skirts are more likely to go in and out of fashion. Additionally, comfort and functionality are important factors in determining the timelessness of a trend. The speaker encourages others to share their opinions and disagreements on these matters.
Coquette trend: The Coquette trend, characterized by hyper-feminine clothing, bows, and Mary Jane shoes, can be tiresome and unsustainable when worn in an over-the-top way, despite having some timeless elements.
The "Coquette" trend, characterized by hyper-feminine white and pastel frilly clothing, bows, and Mary Jane shoes, can be seen as a trend due to its excessive and costume-like nature. While some elements, like white blouses and light pink blouses, can be timeless, the overall look becomes tiresome and unsustainable when worn in an over-the-top way. The speaker encourages listeners to share their thoughts on the trend and invites them to join the Trendier Timeless discussion on Instagram. New episodes of the podcast are released every Thursday and Sunday. The speaker also promotes her coffee company, Chamberlain Coffee, and encourages listeners to check out their website or social media for more information. Overall, the Coquette trend, while having some timeless elements, becomes a trend due to its excessive and unsustainable nature.
