Trendiness - Topic of the day 4/27/25

True, I think living with it is the difficult thing. It's easy to get into a cycle of "I want to be more authentic to myself" -> "I want to be more normal and connect with people" -> repeat

It's like watching your friends follow their passion and turn it into a career while you have to make the choice between the two.

Trendiness - Topic of the day 4/27/25

I appreciate your advice, as always. I think when it comes to social pressure, with fashion and in life, there's always a sense of envy from seeing people who have managed to be authentic to themselves while also being accepted for it. I see people talk about their journey of finding their own style and ending up with something broadly fashionable, or being in an environment where they aren't judged for being unfashionable, and wish I could do the same.

I have no idea where to even start with that, but I think that's a topic for another thread

Negative of trends: I often make an effort to avoid things that are too "on-trend" because it feels like anything in that category is on a timer before it becomes "dated" and gets judged negatively, even if I still enjoy wearing it. It's nice to not have that pressure hanging over you.

Positive of trends: If you like something, it's nice to have it be ubiquitous for a while, lots of inspo, options for buying it, and it gets made for all sorts of body types, plus it's just nice to share something cool

Selvedge Denim - Topic of the day 4/18/25

After losing a load of weight last year, I got some cheap selvedge jeans from Uniqlo just so I would have something that fit and I could wear with anything, ended up falling back in love with raw jeans

"One Year, One Outfit" 11 Years Later - Topic of the day 4/17/25

This has been my goal since I started caring about clothing, though a bit less extreme (I have 8 shirts, for example). I suppose you could call it anti-fashion, but for me it's still a fun way to be conscious of what I wear and how it looks without feeling the need to buy new things regularly. It's nice to pick up fashion as an interest for a few weeks, find something I like, and then forget about it for a year or two.

Removing Intimidation From Fashion - Topic of the day 4/15/25

I made a lot of progress by deciding to touch more grass and people-watch in public. Just walking around and seeing the sheer variety of looks that ordinary people are wearing and looking great in can be super encouraging

Style Spotlight: Heritage - Topic of the day 3/8/25

Ironically it's easier to live up to the supposed ideals of heritage style if you're getting into it right now, since it's a lot easier to find good stuff in thrift shops

Fashion Buzzwords - Topic of the day 11/27/24

Positive vibes are great. If people like your outfits for a reason they can't articulate, it makes you feel special. If people dislike your outfits for a reason they can't articulate it's just soul-crushing

Fashion Buzzwords - Topic of the day 11/27/24

Yeah, of course. My point is that certain buzzwords are awkward if they're mainstream and don't fit with your personal taste
