Inspired by a few of a trend discussions we've had here, I did a blog post and pod on how I view trends. TL;DR they're more of a way for me to codify certain subgenres as well as indiciate how much I want to participate in the zeigiest. I also think that some things have come around from being unpopular to popular (like wide legged pants or more preppy/ivy styling).
Feel free to read! I'm also curious if you guys prefer to be early or late to a trend and how you think that factors into your fashion hobby!
