I love how Converse look with different outfits. Unfortunately I've always found them too narrow on the toebox for me to be comfortable so I can't wear them but always think they look great on others. They are a classic look that will never go out of style.
For a girl who needs comfort, these shoes have zero support ☠️

ALSO ALSO ALSO! Like let us heal our inner child and teenager and wear what we wanted to wear when we couldn’t buy our own shit and reclaim it. Ok I’m done, love you!
I will say that not having a TikTok really closes me off from these so called “trends” or “dated” styles. And I actually really like that. I wear what I want and don’t ever feel the pressure of being “cheugy”. I just feel that a lot of these things are very social media based but not as present in the real life aspect
For me, I tend to avoid very trendy things knowing that as soon as they're in, they'll be out. If it's something I absolutely love that just happens to be trendy for 5 minutes, then I don't care, but I agree--not looking at this stuff on TikTok is def a good thing for me.
As a Gen Z-er myself, I am sick of my generation’s major hypocrisy when it comes to identity. In the same breathe we will preach body neutrality/positivity & then put ourselves down for our body. Or we will tell people to express themselves however they want, but then also change “trends” in the matter of weeks. I remember when I was in high school, trends didn’t change for YEARS. Like ??? I cannot keep up. In reality, the other people my age in my REAL life aren’t like that at all, but the second I get on instagram or tik tok, I can’t escape the worst representations of my generation. NONE of my friends have ever made a comment about me rewearing an outfit or wearing “old” clothes. I have to ground myself a lot though because it’s so easy to get swept into tik tok ideology
very self aware. also it probably has to do with the fact that youth can be insecure because you still don't fully know yourself.. we continually evolve until we die. :-)
True. As a fellow gen Z I can say that I stopped following trends completely because of post COVID fashion mindset of our generation. I'm a proud wearer of mid to high waisted skinny jeans even though they're not trendy now. Baggy pants make me look very short and most of them make some kind of a sound and I hate them, no matter how much my generation loves them.
I have a gen z sibling, very on trend, but I can’t help but seeing everything as passing. Kind stopped riding the wave since the early 2010s. I think there’s a strong difference for teens/kids/YAs in knowing when to put the phone/cpu down. These days, nearly every space is inundated with “influencers” and ads and the whole insta/tt/twitter lifestyle. I grew up when we had dial up, and we were allowed internet for 30 minutes TOPS. You really gotta regulate usage n exposure. That’s something I learned being on the cusps of internet blowing up. Love the innovation, but it really feels like a gateway sometimes lol
Honestly, I think once you get offline you realize that most normal people do not care about trends or if they do they just incorporate it into what they already wear. Especially as adults who usually spend a lot of time curating their wardrobe. What’s trendy just does not really matter lol
as a cottagecore girly, my version of camo or leopard print is a ditsy floral. for me, it’s a neutral and you can pry it out of my cold dead hands, i couldn’t care less if it’s trendy. most of us gen z folks don’t relate to trend-cycling tiktokers either. thanks for this carrie
same 😭 some of them aren’t my fashion taste, but as a 17 year old that loves fashion, i really hate the whole “trend thing” lol, i’ll wear what i want to!
I have been wearing Converse since the mid-90s... I never gave them up, and have never I cared if they're "in" or not. They are just my favorites, period. Converse for life!!
The converse one is so silly to me. I'm not taking advice from people who wear HOKA's hahahaha Keep on rockin your "outdated" styles Carrie, like you said we're not trying to look 20.
my sister (millenial) was trying to tell me i needed Hokas. i was like hmmmm no. and thats how i feel about most of her 'fashion'. dont get me wrong i follow trends and incorporate ones i like but i see no reason to buy over priced poorly made shoes when I have higher quality ones for various activities (gym, trail running, converse and adidas for casual every day wear, etc). meanwhile her Hokas caused her major foot and ankle problems/pain. yeah. ill keep my shoes, thanks.
It’s so weird how they’ll make fun of “older people” for trying to “dress too young” but then tell them their style is “outdated”? It’s like..what do they WANT from us 😂 I like knowing trends bc they can be fun, but I mostly just incorporate a watered-down version of it into my own style/wardrobe. Also they’ll never take my converse OR flannels away!!! lol
I love converse but when the sneaker trend hit I realized how UNCOMFORTABLE they are. I can never wear them if I do a lot of walking, the foot pain is just too much.
When you were talking through all of your fashion era (like cheetah print and graphic tees) it made me realize I've been with you for so long!! Since 2015! you're the best :)
Does anyone else take a while to get on trends and then wonder if the thing is still trendy? It took me so long to move away from skinny jeans into straight leg pants, and I think I'm several years late to being confident wearing bucket hats. I bought a bucket hat on clearance then realized people hate them and they only had a brief time in popularity
omg it took me so long to get into really high waist pants and then out of skinny pants... but i discovered that i feel most confident in high waist wide leg pants :) which i used to wear in 5th grade already ironically
She said Converse and camo pants as I’m LITERALLY wearing both lmao. I love the baggier cargo version of camo pants as opposed to the 2016 jogger bottoms because that version feels dated to me
I've never seen wearing a flannel around your waist as a trend, it was always that I was too warm and I either didn't have a bag or the bag was too small. Where I live it gets really cold in the morning and hot during the day. Totally agree about the converse lol I hate people say they're dated
I’ve been thinking about this so much lately. I’m almost 30, I genuinely don’t care what 20 year olds think of what I wear. It’s all about me now bb😂 ALSO I will never ever get rid of my pop socket. I do. not. care. if it makes me look ‘old’
I think it’s interesting how certain trends created other trends. Like I think the braided bang became a thing BECAUSE we all had side bangs/swoop bangs and needed a way to get them out of our faces sometimes. And for the last couple years the trendy jeans have been cropped mom jeans and straight legs jeans because everyone has been wearing blundstones. I’m sure blundstones will be out as soon as wide leg long jeans take over again. They don’t have a cute toe to stick out of your long jeans.
I actually hated the look of blundstones until I saw someone wearing them with flared jeans or maybe it was bootleg jeans! Now I have a pair and realized they surprisingly go with almost anything, even some dresses
I totally remember you getting hate for not curling the ends of your hair! I was an 80's teen, and I LOVED the Flashdance off the shoulder, style sweatshirt. I had a navy sweatshirt that I cut to be that style, and I wore it to death! I finally got rid of it a few years back, and I miss it!!! I have to say, other than that, I've really never been into fashion too much, but YOU make it SO MUCH FUN!!!! I'm at that point where I don't go by trends. I wear what I like and what I think looks good on me. You inspire me. I'd love to see more of these videos!
im gen z (on the older side) yet I still seen trends come and go and come back again just from the lifetime that I experienced it's wild. I learned that if I truly love something, I won't let go of it. It will come around again even if it's not trendy anymore. More importantly, it builds your sense of identity to listen to what you really like instead of being persuaded by trends and current times all the time. Also probably have to start building a thick skin because i know in 10 years time the next gen will probably roast me alive with what i wear now so I gotta learn to be unbothered
When people declare things as “out” it’s merely a desperate attempt to exert some shred of adult power through shallow, superficial means. It displays a lack of awareness, experience and knowledge (aka immaturity).
I just got obsessed with “the mountain” shirts! I have a tiger, cat, dolphin and a wolf one. I would love to see a “how to style mountain shirts” video if you end up thrifting more. Also would love a part 2 of this video. I know skater skirts are out but I’m bringing them back because they’re such a classic for me, especially a red one. I wore it all the time!
it’s not a “rip off” lol, trends are cyclical, I think we are at a place in fashion where depending on you niche and personal taste, everything is trending and can be made to look stylish, which I think is awesome, but it doesn’t inherently mean that everything is fashionable, even the trendiest, “coolest” piece can be made to look unfashionable depending on styling and other factors
that's just the trend cycle man ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i say wear what you want and what makes you comfortable, but things come in and out of popularity all the time.
Converse shoes are outdated? Converse??? Are they serious? They're the most comfortable shoes in the world! I have three pairs and I'm never getting rid of them, no matter what the younglins say.
Something that Gen Z may not realize, is that not everyone can afford the trend at the time it’s trendy. Sometimes people want to wear past styles because they finally have the finances to purchase items that they desired when they were younger. Live and let live.
Trends are fun fashion but they aren't STYLE. I've worn skinny pants, oversized shirts since I saw Aubrey Hepburn wear them. They became part of "my style" and who I am. In fact, I get annoyed when parts of "my style" become trendy. I think everyone has a "core" style. Those pieces never get donated.
Totally agree. Where whatever you want. One thing about GenZ that I don't think I will ever understand is their passion for individuality yet have such strong opinions when others don't look, act, or dress the same as them? Life is too damn hard and short not to wear whatever the hell you want!
Even as a Gen z myself, I find myself constantly feeling werid if I wear something considered "outdated" but I just remember that everything comes back around and in the end, no one really cares what you wear outside of social media. Just wear what makes you feel good and you will look good.
Why would generations talking endlessly about sustainability, minimalism, and the evils of consumption be so vulnerable to fads and being trendy? It makes no sense to me. Find your own vibration. Do your own thing. Don’t be a follower. That’s checks all the good conscience boxes without even trying.
i had about three storage bags of clothes i bought in 2000-2004 that i gave away to a teenager around two years ago. after i did i was like man, i should have sold all of that, it's authentic y2k! it blows my mind to see all of that stuff being worn again. i. would. never.
The thing is, don’t pretend millennials weren’t making fun of women dressing like it was still the 80s and 90s in the early 2000s. Gen z isn’t meaner than any other generation. This is the cycle of becoming “uncool” all generations go through. Nothing new under the sun
Flannel shirts are great for the inbetween weather. If it’s warm you pop it round your waist when it cools you pop it on I’ve loved them since the 90’s! You can bury me in one!
I love the hair! I don’t follow trends, I wear what I want and I tend to lean towards classic old money….. even though I’m super poor!! Love ya Carrie!!
I've heard the camo pants thing, but at the same time some young'uns I follow are saying they love camo. As soon as someone says it's out, someone else will say it's in...like ten minutes later.
converse are so classic. yeah i don't wear my collection of random colored low tops i started in highschool, but i stay reaching for my black hightops and my white hightops.
Props for this video, girl. Still a lover of camo, leopard, converse, swoop bangs etc. Must be the 80’s baby in us. Also, another thing that’s “out” for me: listening to the opinions of literally anyone regarding my style, home decor, body size, etc. ✌🏻😊
I feel like people say “I like what I like” but in reality the only reason you like it is because it was a trend you once followed (probably in high school or mid-20s) and now you’re set in your ways. If people were actually original then you’d see a myriad of trends being worn but you don’t. You just see older people wearing what they wore in high school lol
Im in my 30s, I don't care about weekly appearing micro trends on tik tok worn mostly by 15-20 year olds. I think this is very much an online disease, people are just dressed however they want IRL, even the younger ones who are most exposed to tik tok consumer culture. Shit costs money no one has nowadays.
I love this perspective, so eye opening. I'm 47 and admittedly quite immature and trendy for being almost 50! But honestly I love the idea of doing whatever you like, I get compliments from women of ALL ages when I do what I love w/ trends and style. Loving camo pants forever and cheetah or leopard can always work (or not work, depending). I am dying laughing about "a call from swoops past", love it. I loathe Converse and always have, though...not gonna lie. I cringe so hard when I see my peers wearing them especially. One of my besties got married in them. Just no!
converse are def still on trend. they have never gone out of trend and I see people wearing them all the time. I think whoever said that was just plain wrong lol
I dress in a way that makes my inner 16 year old happy. I don't give a shit if some actual 16 year old thinks I look 'cheugy'(who comes up with that term, I friggin hate it!)
I love to hang out in the area around a major college campus here, the kids all wear what we did 20 years ago. Its very like early 2000s. they even brought back wearing pajama pants in public
I just turned 50. I live wearing glitter makeup glitter nails. I love my glitter converse sneakers. I have 5 tattoos. Neon colored clothes, my Lisa Frank crocs with gem jibitz, leopard crocs and silver glitter crocs. I live in NJ and obsessed with anything leopard. I have leopard boots, fur coat and clothes. My glam beauty room is hot pink and black.
FIRST OF ALL OMG YOU LOOK SO GORGEOUS IN THIS VIDEO!! The hair and makeup is giving GLAMOROUS!!!! I think a version of Pinterest braids are coming back in style. I see a lot of girls doing fun hairstyles on my FYP! Usually it’s like braids and space buns or something super intricate! Or even like putting cutesy beads and clips in their hair. I feel like a lot of Gen Z doesn’t have an established sense of style so they go in and out of trends. I think I’ve been dressing pretty much the same for the last 10 years ever since I discovered Indie Sleaze or Soft Grunge on Tumblr LOL! But I guess when I dress up more, I tend to lean more Whimsigoth. I’ll be turning 27 in March so most of the things you mentioned, I wore in middle school! I would love to incorporate these trends back into my wardrobe. But for some reason in 6th grade everyone in my school was obsessed with neon skinny jeans so let’s not bring those back LMFAO!
The mountain shirts/crewneck sweaters will never leave my closet. I love throwing an oversized one over jeans or shorts and sneakers on a reg day. Vintage ones usually are so soft and comfy so yeah, these will be a forever staple in my closet.
I'm late Gen X/Xennial, so flannels around the waist (and Converse Chuck Taylors) were peak early-nineties teen for me and I'll never stop. Wear what you like!
I’ve never been one to pay attention to, let alone follow trends. A few of my current fashion favorites are green army pants, mom jeans and claw clips. I’d love to see a part 2! Love from Wisconsin 🫶🏼
i think that the off the shoulder tops have definitely come back in style already. i’ve seen so many people on tiktok thrifting very nice sweatshirts to cut one shoulder out of them.
I just bought The Mountain t-shirt. It was hot pink/purple swirl with a dreamcatcher graphic. I love this brand b/c the sizing generally runs on the bigger size (more of a men's fit instead of the fitted women's t-shirt sizing ) and it gives that slightly oversized look but yet they don't make it seem like you're wearing a tent. These WILL be coming back and style and will be selling for $75-$100 so get them now for $15-$30
I work at Marshall’s and we have those exact camo pants you were talking about in the juniors section!!! Of course not every store is the same, but it’s a place to check lol
I really feel like the whole idea of trends is more of a media thing rather than a Gen Z thing 😭 either that or im just sooo out of touch hahaha but then again...I feel more like a millenial than a gen z girlie hahaha. Its like the 2000- early '03 people are a different breed of gen z (I'll include the '04 kids too)
The people of New Jersey do not appreciate the slander of our beloved leopard print by gen z. They will have to pry this print out of our cold dead extended middle fingers lol
interestingly i’ve seen quite the opposite actually, leopard print is predicted to be trending again in 2024, just not in the way it was trending before, I don’t think prints like leopard and snake are ever going out of style
You hair cut is so cute! We are definitely from the same age group from these iconic trends, bangs swoop and french twist bangs are for life! I got the mid-part curtain bangs too, because they are in style, about a year ago, now i'm hearing it is going out already... for someone who always had a side part with swoop bangs, it was a big moment for me! But I just wanted to say that you look super cute with this hair style, very salon fresh
You can pry my converse out of my cold, dead hands. I’m born right on the cusp of millennials/genz and I’ve just accepted that I don’t care enough to perpetually cool anymore
stop it the wolf howling at the moon off the shoulder top?? I used to have an off the shoulder top that had a white tiger face on it that i wore to death with feather earrings omg if i still had that top id wear it for the campiness
Converses are a classic. They'll never go out of style.
seriously. they are my FAV shoe
theyre ugly
I love how Converse look with different outfits. Unfortunately I've always found them too narrow on the toebox for me to be comfortable so I can't wear them but always think they look great on others. They are a classic look that will never go out of style.
I know right! This is absurd
For a girl who needs comfort, these shoes have zero support ☠️
ALSO ALSO ALSO! Like let us heal our inner child and teenager and wear what we wanted to wear when we couldn’t buy our own shit and reclaim it. Ok I’m done, love you!
Yes yes yes!
I spent my pandemmy buying stuff on poshmark that I had or wanted 15-20 years ago.
YES 👏🏼
My favorite comment of 2023 😂
That’s where I’m at right now! 30s is for exploring who we were at 13.
I will say that not having a TikTok really closes me off from these so called “trends” or “dated” styles. And I actually really like that. I wear what I want and don’t ever feel the pressure of being “cheugy”. I just feel that a lot of these things are very social media based but not as present in the real life aspect
They are quite social media, fashion house trends more than what people are wearing, or wanting to wear, except maybe if you live in NY city, or LA.
Agree with you. If I want to know what's trending IRL, I look at what is in the trendy shops at the mall.
For me, I tend to avoid very trendy things knowing that as soon as they're in, they'll be out. If it's something I absolutely love that just happens to be trendy for 5 minutes, then I don't care, but I agree--not looking at this stuff on TikTok is def a good thing for me.
The irony is cheugy is now outdated 😅

yep. going out in public is always a great reminder to my chronically online self that 99% of people don’t give a crap 😂
Graphic t-shirt, leopard midi skirt, and combat boots is still one of my favorite outfits to this day!
Saaaaaaameeeee! Makes me feel like a badass ✌🏼
Me too!
i didnt even know this went out of style!!!
leopard print will never go out of style to me lol, it’s practically a neutral 💀
Same!
“We’re grown, we’re not trying to dress like 20 year olds” 🙌 🙌 ❤
aren't 20yr olds jusy trying to dress like elder Mills or GenX anyways......
as a cottagecore girly, my version of camo or leopard print is a ditsy floral. for me, it’s a neutral and you can pry it out of my cold dead hands, i couldn’t care less if it’s trendy. most of us gen z folks don’t relate to trend-cycling tiktokers either. thanks for this carrie
Yes, as an older gen z, I wear what I want to wear and what makes me happy. Love that ❤
Love a floral. I'm with you!
I love florals too, especially the millefleurs kind or a really cute, romantic print.. 🤩
I feel like Gen. Z tells us these things are out of style, and then when we donate them, suddenly they’re in style and thrifted 😅
As a 23 year old, I don’t understand why most of these are “going out of style” I still love and wear a lot of these lol 😭 especially the converse
You do you! If you spend your hard earned money on it you’re allowed to F-ing wear it!
same 😭 some of them aren’t my fashion taste, but as a 17 year old that loves fashion, i really hate the whole “trend thing” lol, i’ll wear what i want to!
I have been wearing Converse since the mid-90s... I never gave them up, and have never I cared if they're "in" or not. They are just my favorites, period. Converse for life!!

As a flat footed healthcare worker, I love Hokas for my job. Outside of my job I wouldn’t wear them. They’re definitely not for everyone.
@@lexieedwards6909 when I see anyone in Hokas I assume they work in medical field. Not a bad thing but that's what I think of even if they're 16 haha
Not trend hoppers trying to appropriate the ugliest (and most comfortable) running shoe that’s been around for ages.
@@seltzermint5 Tbh I feel the same way lol
It’s so weird how they’ll make fun of “older people” for trying to “dress too young” but then tell them their style is “outdated”? It’s like..what do they WANT from us 😂 I like knowing trends bc they can be fun, but I mostly just incorporate a watered-down version of it into my own style/wardrobe.

You can bury me in my Converse. Trends be damned.
converse are timeless. they’ve never been out of style
I love converse but when the sneaker trend hit I realized how UNCOMFORTABLE they are. I can never wear them if I do a lot of walking, the foot pain is just too much.
The best thing is when you don't care about trends. I dress for comfort now and I have never been happier. I love your hair, so cute. 🥰
I literally cannot focus on anything, Carrie you are in your era! This color, your hair, outfits, and makeup always gorgeous 💓
Carrie, I know you said you're experimenting with hair eras, just wanted to say this one is absolutely stunning
I really like this hair for her. I haven't watched her videos in a year so I only know this one and the long blonde hair but I like the bangs.
Gen Z is gonna end up with one collectively approved outfit if they don’t chill with all these fashion rules lol
When you were talking through all of your fashion era (like cheetah print and graphic tees) it made me realize I've been with you for so long!! Since 2015! you're the best :)
Does anyone else take a while to get on trends and then wonder if the thing is still trendy? It took me so long to move away from skinny jeans into straight leg pants, and I think I'm several years late to being confident wearing bucket hats. I bought a bucket hat on clearance then realized people hate them and they only had a brief time in popularity
omg it took me so long to get into really high waist pants and then out of skinny pants... but i discovered that i feel most confident in high waist wide leg pants :) which i used to wear in 5th grade already ironically
Bucket hats are out??? 😮
who cares. i love bucket hats

I’ve been thinking about this so much lately. I’m almost 30, I genuinely don’t care what 20 year olds think of what I wear. It’s all about me now bb😂

I mean, what kind of person is going to judge you for having a pop socket!? That's just petty. Kids.
I'm so happy you did this yeeeees!! also, your hair looks amazing!!!
My FAVORITE hair trend was the super dark underneath with almost bleach blonde on top, swoop bangs--obviously.
Simply the best zoey 101 hairstyle. Jamie Lynn made everyone want that look
Omg. I had that hair!!
I even had a streak of black in my swoop bangs.
@@kittyreincat I didn't have the black streak but I had the hair and I still miss it!
i had this!! blonde on top, black beneath, alice cullen cut. i can't.
I had that!!! Love it! May do in 2024!! 😅😊

I'd love to see more of these videos!
The Lauren Conrad braid was ICONIC and I still wear my hair like that sometimes!!
im gen z (on the older side) yet I still seen trends come and go and come back again just from the lifetime that I experienced it's wild. I learned that if I truly love something, I won't let go of it. It will come around again even if it's not trendy anymore. More importantly, it builds your sense of identity to listen to what you really like instead of being persuaded by trends and current times all the time. Also probably have to start building a thick skin because i know in 10 years time the next gen will probably roast me alive with what i wear now so I gotta learn to be unbothered
When people declare things as “out” it’s merely a desperate attempt to exert some shred of adult power through shallow, superficial means. It displays a lack of awareness, experience and knowledge (aka immaturity).
Nah! Never stopped loving converse - the 70’s versions are the best. Definitely fave trainers in my wardrobe
We don't have to throw what we like out the window because of a new trend! The best style is the one your feel comfortable and confident in!
Don’t throw away everything always comes back in style😂
I used to have a teal velvet crop top when velvet was all the rage about 5 years ago and I still think about it to this day and wish I kept it 🥲🥲
Hair looks SO GOOD!
Oh yes
I love flannel shirts. I live in AZ so I use them as jackets during the winter. I've loved them since the 90's.
Okay the off the shoulder shirts (especially the sweatshirts) with converse were my entire wardrobe. I'll bring those back with you!!!
Your hair is so super cute like this I Love it 😍
Who says I can’t wear my converse with my dress? 😂
Baby, that’s just me
I just got obsessed with “the mountain” shirts! I have a tiger, cat, dolphin and a wolf one. I would love to see a “how to style mountain shirts” video if you end up thrifting more.
Also would love a part 2 of this video. I know skater skirts are out but I’m bringing them back because they’re such a classic for me, especially a red one. I wore it all the time!
I don't understand how Gen Z rips off our millennial fashion, and then tells us that we are outdated. They are copying us. Lol
it’s not a “rip off” lol, trends are cyclical, I think we are at a place in fashion where depending on you niche and personal taste, everything is trending and can be made to look stylish, which I think is awesome, but it doesn’t inherently mean that everything is fashionable, even the trendiest, “coolest” piece can be made to look unfashionable depending on styling and other factors
They are ripping us off lol@@jd3n
that's just the trend cycle man ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i say wear what you want and what makes you comfortable, but things come in and out of popularity all the time.
I feel once I hit 40 I decided I didn't care about trends. Like flannel has been popular in my mind since the 90's and always will be
cute. flannel was also popular in the 70's! (boomer here)
Converse shoes are outdated? Converse??? Are they serious? They're the most comfortable shoes in the world! I have three pairs and I'm never getting rid of them, no matter what the younglins say.
girl the cut-off neck sweatshirts are coming back in! i’ve always loved the look
Something that Gen Z may not realize, is that not everyone can afford the trend at the time it’s trendy. Sometimes people want to wear past styles because they finally have the finances to purchase items that they desired when they were younger. Live and let live.
Trends are fun fashion but they aren't STYLE. I've worn skinny pants, oversized shirts since I saw Aubrey Hepburn wear them. They became part of "my style" and who I am. In fact, I get annoyed when parts of "my style" become trendy. I think everyone has a "core" style. Those pieces never get donated.
Totally agree. Where whatever you want. One thing about GenZ that I don't think I will ever understand is their passion for individuality yet have such strong opinions when others don't look, act, or dress the same as them? Life is too damn hard and short not to wear whatever the hell you want!
Even as a Gen z myself, I find myself constantly feeling werid if I wear something considered "outdated" but I just remember that everything comes back around and in the end, no one really cares what you wear outside of social media. Just wear what makes you feel good and you will look good.
Why would generations talking endlessly about sustainability, minimalism, and the evils of consumption be so vulnerable to fads and being trendy? It makes no sense to me. Find your own vibration. Do your own thing. Don’t be a follower. That’s checks all the good conscience boxes without even trying.
i had about three storage bags of clothes i bought in 2000-2004 that i gave away to a teenager around two years ago. after i did i was like man, i should have sold all of that, it's authentic y2k! it blows my mind to see all of that stuff being worn again. i. would. never.
The thing is, don’t pretend millennials weren’t making fun of women dressing like it was still the 80s and 90s in the early 2000s. Gen z isn’t meaner than any other generation. This is the cycle of becoming “uncool” all generations go through. Nothing new under the sun
Flannels are a classic they’ll never go out of style ❤
Flannel shirts are great for the inbetween weather. If it’s warm you pop it round your waist when it cools you pop it on I’ve loved them since the 90’s! You can bury me in one!
I love the hair! I don’t follow trends, I wear what I want and I tend to lean towards classic old money….. even though I’m super poor!! Love ya Carrie!!
I exactly remember that phase when you wore your Leopard print maxi skirts in 2018. I loved that and imitated it ❤
I need that shirt, I work in horse racing and it’s perfect!!! I have almost every one of the ‘out of style’ trends u mentioned😂
I've heard the camo pants thing, but at the same time some young'uns I follow are saying they love camo. As soon as someone says it's out, someone else will say it's in...like ten minutes later.
Converse and a flannel around my waist is like a uniform for me 😅
I'm obsessed with Carrie's new haircut and color 😍 she looks incredible 🔥
My grandma used to say her favorite color was leopard print
your content makes me SO happy. i've been looking for someone who is also in their 30's and is dressing themselves how THEY want regardless of trends
So happy to see the return of the swoop! As a 34 year old, I’ve decided that I just could not care less what gen Z thinks is cool.
converse are so classic. yeah i don't wear my collection of random colored low tops i started in highschool, but i stay reaching for my black hightops and my white hightops.
Props for this video, girl. Still a lover of camo, leopard, converse, swoop bangs etc. Must be the 80’s baby in us.
Also, another thing that’s “out” for me: listening to the opinions of literally anyone regarding my style, home decor, body size, etc. ✌🏻😊
I feel like people say “I like what I like” but in reality the only reason you like it is because it was a trend you once followed (probably in high school or mid-20s) and now you’re set in your ways. If people were actually original then you’d see a myriad of trends being worn but you don’t. You just see older people wearing what they wore in high school lol
Im in my 30s, I don't care about weekly appearing micro trends on tik tok worn mostly by 15-20 year olds. I think this is very much an online disease, people are just dressed however they want IRL, even the younger ones who are most exposed to tik tok consumer culture. Shit costs money no one has nowadays.
Your hair is so cute!! It suits you so well
I love this perspective, so eye opening. I'm 47 and admittedly quite immature and trendy for being almost 50!
But honestly I love the idea of doing whatever you like, I get compliments from women of ALL ages when I do what I love w/ trends and style.
Loving camo pants forever and cheetah or leopard can always work (or not work, depending). I am dying laughing about "a call from swoops past", love it.
I loathe Converse and always have, though...not gonna lie. I cringe so hard when I see my peers wearing them especially. One of my besties got married in them. Just no!
i just have to say your hair looks SO cute!
converse are def still on trend. they have never gone out of trend and I see people wearing them all the time. I think whoever said that was just plain wrong lol
I dress in a way that makes my inner 16 year old happy. I don't give a shit if some actual 16 year old thinks I look 'cheugy'(who comes up with that term, I friggin hate it!)
this is the exact reason i’m going to start archiving pieces i KNOW i will love (and keep) forever
Living for your hair!!!
The only thing that’d make this better is if you styled an outfit for each trend hehe obsessed w you
I love to hang out in the area around a major college campus here, the kids all wear what we did 20 years ago. Its very like early 2000s. they even brought back wearing pajama pants in public
Yay a Carrie Video just when I needed it! I’m so sick right now so this has given me some joy. 💜
your hair looks amazing
YOUR HAIR IS GORGEOUS! The way it’s styled is definitely made for you.
I love your hair! It looks so good on you! 🩷 You could do braids with flowers or clips!
I just turned 50. I live wearing glitter makeup glitter nails. I love my glitter converse sneakers. I have 5 tattoos. Neon colored clothes, my Lisa Frank crocs with gem jibitz, leopard crocs and silver glitter crocs. I live in NJ and obsessed with anything leopard. I have leopard boots, fur coat and clothes. My glam beauty room is hot pink and black.
FIRST OF ALL OMG YOU LOOK SO GORGEOUS IN THIS VIDEO!! The hair and makeup is giving GLAMOROUS!!!!
I think a version of Pinterest braids are coming back in style. I see a lot of girls doing fun hairstyles on my FYP! Usually it’s like braids and space buns or something super intricate! Or even like putting cutesy beads and clips in their hair.
I feel like a lot of Gen Z doesn’t have an established sense of style so they go in and out of trends. I think I’ve been dressing pretty much the same for the last 10 years ever since I discovered Indie Sleaze or Soft Grunge on Tumblr LOL! But I guess when I dress up more, I tend to lean more Whimsigoth.
I’ll be turning 27 in March so most of the things you mentioned, I wore in middle school! I would love to incorporate these trends back into my wardrobe. But for some reason in 6th grade everyone in my school was obsessed with neon skinny jeans so let’s not bring those back LMFAO!
Omg you’re hair absolutely suits you! The curtain bangs are everything!!!
The mountain shirts/crewneck sweaters will never leave my closet. I love throwing an oversized one over jeans or shorts and sneakers on a reg day. Vintage ones usually are so soft and comfy so yeah, these will be a forever staple in my closet.
My husband and I both love Converse and no chronically online 20-year-old will convince us that they’re “out.” It’s a sneaker.
converse are a staple for me! i will never stop wearing them
I'm late Gen X/Xennial, so flannels around the waist (and Converse Chuck Taylors) were peak early-nineties teen for me and I'll never stop. Wear what you like!
I’ve never been one to pay attention to, let alone follow trends. A few of my current fashion favorites are green army pants, mom jeans and claw clips.
I’d love to see a part 2! Love from Wisconsin 🫶🏼
i think that the off the shoulder tops have definitely come back in style already. i’ve seen so many people on tiktok thrifting very nice sweatshirts to cut one shoulder out of them.
I just bought The Mountain t-shirt. It was hot pink/purple swirl with a dreamcatcher graphic. I love this brand b/c the sizing generally runs on the bigger size (more of a men's fit instead of the fitted women's t-shirt sizing ) and it gives that slightly oversized look but yet they don't make it seem like you're wearing a tent. These WILL be coming back and style and will be selling for $75-$100 so get them now for $15-$30
I work at Marshall’s and we have those exact camo pants you were talking about in the juniors section!!! Of course not every store is the same, but it’s a place to check lol
Gen Z’s constant criticism of Millennials is so odd, I never once paid attention to Gen X? Loved the video! ❤
I really feel like the whole idea of trends is more of a media thing rather than a Gen Z thing 😭 either that or im just sooo out of touch hahaha but then again...I feel more like a millenial than a gen z girlie hahaha. Its like the 2000- early '03 people are a different breed of gen z (I'll include the '04 kids too)
The people of New Jersey do not appreciate the slander of our beloved leopard print by gen z. They will have to pry this print out of our cold dead extended middle fingers lol
“Cold dead extended middle fingers” 💀💀💀
interestingly i’ve seen quite the opposite actually, leopard print is predicted to be trending again in 2024, just not in the way it was trending before, I don’t think prints like leopard and snake are ever going out of style
Would’ve loved to see a 2023 thrift favs video from you :/
omg carrie your hair is GORGEOUS
You hair cut is so cute! We are definitely from the same age group from these iconic trends, bangs swoop and french twist bangs are for life! I got the mid-part curtain bangs too, because they are in style, about a year ago, now i'm hearing it is going out already... for someone who always had a side part with swoop bangs, it was a big moment for me! But I just wanted to say that you look super cute with this hair style, very salon fresh
You can pry my converse out of my cold, dead hands. I’m born right on the cusp of millennials/genz and I’ve just accepted that I don’t care enough to perpetually cool anymore
stop it the wolf howling at the moon off the shoulder top?? I used to have an off the shoulder top that had a white tiger face on it that i wore to death with feather earrings omg if i still had that top id wear it for the campiness
Does anyone remember the summer everyone wore jeans that were shredded, slightly too long, with converse and an oversized plaid shirt?
