THE BEST AND WORST TRENDS OF 2023 (let quiet luxury die PLEASE)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 31 дек 2023
- As per usual, this year has been filled with an insane amount of fashion trends, like the "no pants" trend, "quiet luxury", and the "coquette girl" trend filled with bows, and we of course must discuss them! Some were great, fun, and lighthearted, but others it seem have come from the faster and faster paced algorithms of social media platforms, and due to their rush nature they never really could stand on their own aesthetics.

Guys... its not QUIET luxury IF YOU KEEP ON BRAGGING ABOUT IT
lol agree. Also focus on the quality product instead of the "luxury" (ie some brand selling you that experience).
Also it's not quite luxury if you're broke lol.
Periodt!!!!
@@akask6458quite luxury is actually about focusing on the quality rather than being a walking logo!
True dat!
What's ironic is that people think beige plain clothing from big box fast fashion brands like H&M counts as "quiet luxury" lol
100%, nothing says "rich" like fast fashion lmao /s
As a mom, I just need to jokingly say...wearing beige head to toe IS a luxury...not afforded to those of us with kids 😂
@stooglesgoogles7246
@@stooglesgoogles7246well they’re wearing what they want to wear not depending on a trend of public opinion, so essentially they’d be right.
I think part of "quiet luxury" be the materials in the items. Wool is far more warm and durable and less sweaty than polyester. A true wool sweater can range from 150-500 $ easy but the H&M polyester will look the same from a distance. But people don't know what makes these quiet luxury items special, and anyways this used to not really be luxury. My grandfather had a bunch of true wool sweaters. That was just what a sweater was before all clothes became plastic in the 90's or whenever that happened. It's so major in shoes where the leather seems to be skimmed down to nothing or just be plastic , the nails, wood, and steel shanks that used to put that boot together are all replaced with cardboard and foam. Now a shoe that will last you more than 1 year is going to cost you 200 $ and a boot with real nails and steel inside is 600 $. They've been cutting so many corners on the materials and construction that a 30 year old Doc Martin from the 90s might be a better shoe than a new one you buy at the store today despite the wear. That's how our economy has been running, functionality is less and less and less valued and consumers don't even know how to pick a quality product anymore. So we're all cold, our leather jackets start to molt plastic pieces after 6 months, our shoes fall apart and basic functionality is considered "luxury".
@@SaironiI think you’ve said it perfectly. Surely luxury should be what the material is, not the brand or anything else. It annoys me that if I want something that will last a long time, not only is it hard to find these days because everything is faux but, I’ll have to find a LOT of money to ensure it does. Even then it might not be made as well as in the past.
“quiet luxury” as a trend has pointed out that a LOT of people don’t dress for themselves rather for how others will perceive them. I’ll be the first to say, at the end of the day no one will remember or care if you wore a quiet luxury outfit. The ‘old money’ aesthetic obsession is for people trying to look like they’re in another social class. No one will think you’re ’old money’ showing up to your regular college class in your regular car. God I HATE this ‘trend’
THIS!!!
Bahahahhahaha trends are so funny
Plus a lot of these bitches be wearing outfits they bought off SHEIN thinking they pass as 'old money'. Gurl.....
it's exactly the fashion version of "temporarily embarrassed millionaire" syndrome lol
All I can think when I see people chasing this trend is wow your affirm payment page must be WILD lol.
Thank you for addressing the "quiet luxury" BS - people wanting to channel "old money" are actively buying into snobbery and capitalist classism.
that ‘trend’ actually made me reassess my style, lol. politically, i hate what quiet luxury stands for however the style i like and is accessible to me looks like quiet luxury, but as i saw the conversations surrounding it- i’ve moved on to adding bits of streetwear and sentimental pieces to my clothing out of fear of being perceived as someone i am not.
aha. yet anybody else wearing clothes does not support capitalism?
Do you want to live under Socialism with its constant shortage of everything? I did and it made me appreciate capitalism.
@@jemandjemand2362 I guess a garbage bag pulled out of the dumpster would count.
@@monomoon255 Conversation means a two way exchange of opinions. It means you listen respectfully to another's opinion and to agree to disagree. In my experience, the majority of those who said they tried to start a conversation, just tried to force their opinions on others.
My problem with Barbiecore is she wears plenty of baby pink, and they always forget that she tends to have blue accents or outfits. It does not need to be the neon pink.
Personally, my Barbie outfit was a juicy track suit in a soft pink! And my accent colour was green because well, 1. It was all I had, and 2. It matched my nails! Plus, the green shirt under the track suit had heart print on it, so it was super cute
And pink and green is actually an iconic Barbie pairing. I can’t remember exactly which doll, but I’m thinking it was around the 80s/90s?
I grew up with the Barbie films, and in most of the ones where she's supposed to be "modern day", her outfits are very much "pink plus". My favourite is in Fashion Fairytale with her gorgeous yellow rain coat! Bright, light, bold and delicate are what I think of when I think Barbie-core, not just a flash of hot pink 😂
I loved the Barbie and girly stuff. So much fun and I’m never giving up my bows or my pink. Life is short so wear that loud color if it makes you happy!!
Original Barbie from early 60s had little pink. And then it wasn't a strident pink.
I didn’t really participate in the bow trend but I loved how accidentally eco conscious and diy it was. Don’t find yourself wearing something otherwise? Slap a bow on it (which you could usually easily remove once you are done with the trend.) Feel like playing with the trend but don’t want to buy something? Rummage around in your wrapping paper and try it out. I hope to see more of these types of trends in the future
Yessss literally I used a white silk handle of a clothing bag as a bow on my hair. Then used left over to add a touch to my christmas tree. CUTEEE
Eco-friendly fashion trend is essentially an oxymoron
@@oki__ it's only an oxymoron if you life in fast fashion world... Because fashion used to be more eco-friendly, as in a lot of people in the past modified their clothes at home in order to look more trendy, instead of buying whole new wardrobes every year/2nd year. Clothes that last decades don't have to be boring and bland, and bows can easily be put on to cutify an otherwise worn out jumper/dress from 8 years ago. Win-win!
Thank you for addressing the "old money/quiet luxury" trend. Every single time I see somebody wearing a Gucci belt or a Louis bag there's always some ultra snooty woman in the comment section saying "This screams new money, people from old money would never wear this" as if they are the pinnacle of fashion.
Seeing middle class people desperately trying to emulate their oppressors screams dystopian 💀
Thank you for saying it. I find it quiet degrading.
the whole “old money” thing is so goofy to me too considering that sofia richie (who kinda started the influencers talking about it more) is new money. not old money 💀 no hate to sofia ofc, but i just find it ironic how their old money idol isn’t even from an old money family
You said it!! 😂
And its so try hard. Ppl from money wear tacky sht too.
literally like why would i want to try and emulate some inbred granddaughter of a slave owner lol
I always thought quiet luxury meant high quality designer but not plastered in designer logos
Yes I grew up this way and designer didn’t boast logos exc it was a statement of quality and style and most of the items purchased where in a sense timeless
To me it says “classy”
I think what Luke is referring to is the fact that people who are participating in the quiet luxury "trend" are treating it like loud, quiet luxury. If that makes sense,lol. Bragging about the clothes and putting them on blast as if to say " oh, well I wear such and such because I'M CLASSY and old money." Thus defeating the purpose of quiet luxury and basically doing the same thing that someone does when plastered with logos, defeating the purpose.
@@jaccaj1626 that makes so much sense! Like Zoolander, “hey everyone come see how good I look!”
Never got the whole "logo" thing. Why would you walk around as an unpaid advertisement for ANYBODY??? You want me to advertise your brand for you, YOU pay ME, I don't pay you.
I love how unpredictable Luke's fashion tastes are. Been watching for years and I still can never guess qhat he will like or dislike. Especially impressive given that he gives genuine reasoning for everything!
Any way the wind blows.....
Quiet luxury/old money as a clothing trend has always rubbed me the wrong way. Again for everyone who didn’t hear - THE RICH KNOW YOURE THE HELP. They can tell by the things you can’t buy. And they are mocking you for trying to fool them.
unless you don't care what they think and are simply wearing good things that you enjoy.
It’s literally clothes wear what you like and feel inspired by it’s not that deep for everyone.
@@blktauna Then you wouldn't be labelling it "quiet luxury."
@@rebeccahicks2392 lol I don’t
Quiet luxury feels like a reaction to logomania. I don’t hate the actual clothes - boring but fine and should be long lasting- I just dislike the performativity of it
Exactly ! I would wear a lot of these things but this is because I prefer low key clothing they don't stand out . Not because I cared showing the money I don't have
“Quiet luxury” was the most annoying thing I’ve ever heard. It is…idk how to explain it, so normal? That it isn’t a “trend” or need to be identified, labeled??? I’m so confused with the whole thing. Quiet luxury lol. Call me trendy
I saw someone call it “Peasant-core” for the uber rich, and it was so on point I haven’t stopped thinking about it since 💀
So tired of “quiet luxury” and I just want to see some freaking color that isn’t Barbie pink this year! Wearing exclusively neutrals does not make you chic. I want to see some freaking color this year, and people actually wearing interesting color combos
classy !== only beige
Thank You, I have been wearing casual chic clothing since 2013, but always have added bright colors. As I love colors, I got asked if I'm following quite luxury now. I told them no, I like colors in my clothes.
So you just follow the current trend of "oh we need more colours, otherwise your clothes tell me, you are a boring person"? Very original.
@@jacquelinelugo5518beige/white solid light neutrals IS luxury tho. You don't work, wash a dish, feed your own baby...your clothes are clean 😂❤
@@Loki-fl1rk that’s certainly not what I said but go off I guess? Also color blocking (and color in general) isn’t on trend right now
Traumatized from 2009 me wearing a bow in my hair to high school because I was in the “scene” fashion era and a senior came up to me and asked me what the bow was holding up, and I said “uh nothing it’s just cute” and she said “if you really think so” lmao. Girl was so harsh
lol and who said she had any taste. You do you!
I miss the scene/emo era. We didn't give a f about what others thought
Harsh and unnecessary. You are always wonderful! Keep enjoying whatever intrigues you!
I was a young woman in the late 1960s and 1970s and wore hotpants. What was being worn on the runways this year were not hotpants......they were knickers. Let's get real, they were wearing underwear that looked (in many cases) like the gym knickers we girls used to wear in school. That's okay if that's the current trend, but don't give the iconic name of hotpants to something that has no resemblance whatsoever.
Yes, Hotpants. I would call them spanky pants or cheerleader bottoms (in the 80's). What they are wearing this year is form fitting stretchy granny underwear.
Here, here! I made a pair of hotpants back in the early 1970s and proudly wore them to a school camp. It was a bold move when I think back. I am probably less inclined to show off my legs these days! My mother let me which was very progressive of her because they finished just short of my bottom! 🐑🐑🇳🇿🇳🇿NZ
Carolyn Bassett Kennedy’s wedding slip dress literally changed wedding dresses. Prior to that I think Princess Diana’s wedding gown had a inspirational chokehold on the industry
The truly 'old money' kids who were in college with me didn't do lux; the guys brought the old truck to campus and wore Levis and Haines. The girls wore sorority sweatshirts.
That’s cuz you don’t get rich by spending money💜At least that’s what my grandma said.
they had nothing to prove.
How could you tell they were old money?
well, eventually I got to know them enough to know; it was a small college @@gutterflux
@@gutterfluxprobably because they lived in the same community and knew the families they were from
“Be quiet, about your luxury…” 😂😂😂 ❤it. Happy 2024!
I am functional, minimalist dresser, but I have my own style. I don’t need some paid influencer or rich kid to tell me how to dress. So “quiet luxury” can fade into a corner.
CBK was a real person and never sought publicity for herself. She dressed like an adult and always looked appropriate for any situation.
Do they come to your house? Do they email you, or text, or phone or contact you on social media telling you directly to wear these clothes? As far as I know, they don't. I personally never heard (or read) them say ANYONE had to dress like them. So stop inventing a non existent problem, please.
@@stooglesgoogles7246that's a you problem, not a societal problem. You control what influences you, positive or negative ❤
@@stooglesgoogles7246 Yeah, that's right. THEY feel. Nobody's pressuring them.
@@MadamoftheCatHouse I didn’t know that trolls stalked ordinary people.
@@tygressblade Who's a troll and who is stalking? This is a comment section where everyone is free to voice their opinions.
Unpopular opinion but the Samba looks like a bowling shoe to me 💀
YES. Soccer cleat ass shoes...
they are a good line between work casual shoe and normal everyday imo but i see the bowling thing hahahahah
The one positive of the quiet luxury trend is that it is the antithesis of fast fashion. It's a reminder to the young uns that quality matters, why have 5 trashy items when you can have a great item that you will continue to come back to. Less can equal more.
Honey, those aren't "hot pants." Those are underpants. And calling them anything else falls into The Emperor's New Clothes category.
IF you want to walk around in your underpants, go for it. But you're not fooling anybody that they're anything but...underpants.
I so agree with you. I was around during the real hot pants Era. The hot pants were short shorts not underpants! Some were casual and some were more dressy.
Most of us are definitely tired of the wearing underpants in public trend.
hot pants almost look like boy shorts right?
Exactly
@@Ellynnaluxy2013not really... Maybe in length but they had more fabric and weren't always tight and form fitting, there was a little wiggle room. They were clearly shorts as opposed to these that are clearly underwear.
@@blissfullycat02 - The dressier ones were more like 1930s tap pants. They still hit the upper thigh but the hems had a little flirty flare, and they were made of lighter, dressier material. Now THOSE are the ones they need to bring back, they were so cute!
The baggy pant with tank top is what I wore back in the 90’s when I was in high school.
Yeah but the tank tops were called wife beaters not pleasers lol
The “quiet luxury” idea is also so silly because it is so narrowly defined and assumes the wearer is part of a social circle that wants to emulate the rich, urban, WASP-y, NYC kind of vibe. But serious money dresses appropriately for what they do and where they live. An old money woman in Maine likely wears LL Bean head to toe, while her counterpart in Florida might mix Chanel with loud Lilly Pulitzer patterns.
Honestly 100% agree with your take on the tank top trend. Where I’m from the tank top is absolutely a foundation garment used by everyone, not only to absorb sweat and oils, but to serve as an additional layer to keep you warm. An old term for it is basically “la maglia della salute”, aka “the shirt of health”. So it’s always been perplexing to see people not wear them underneath all their clothes.
Omg the horse and ski comments had me cracking up. Great analysis on the quiet luxury 'trend.' Agree it is the most annoying thing in a long time. I have nothing wrong with the actual aesthetics of it (in fact I love minimalist and simple dressing), it's just the whole idea of trying to look rich that is ridiculous. Extremely rich people don't 'try' to look rich, that's the whole point. The whole thing just comes across a try hard(y).
hearing you defend the ugg slippers makes me so happy, they’re so comfy for college and i think they’re pretty cute.
UGG slippers are the height of quiet luxury tho, in their essence. Comfortable, utilitarian, made with stuff that's gonna last one years and years, and height of 'I don't care to make a statement, I am comfortable in myself' part of old money style choices. But as he said talking about it makes it ironic 😂and then basically just detaches itself from the actual idea of the quiet part, by putting it on blast for everyone to see.
So sad to see the biker jacket on the worst list because I wear them on a daily basis since I ride a bike and I finally felt cool doing it thanks to this trend 😂
Actually like some of the biker/moto jackets also. If u actually ride a bike, definitely wear the biker jacket. Quite a few ppl do ride bikes regularly including some celebs and they like to wear the jackets even if they aren't riding a bike or motorcycle.
Don‘t listen to it if you like it. Not Everything you wear needs to be high Fashion 🫶
never stop wearing it!! they ARE cool!! I wish I had one
High visibility is high fashion on the street 😂
Well he said at the end, if you ride a bike please keep wearing them hahahaha. Also I really like biker jacket too so even tho I like how he explained it, I will keep wearing them.
LUKE!!! Your understanding of garments as a form of language is my favorite part of your fashion analyses. The part about everyone doing quiet luxury and it becoming an "EYE know that YOU know you aren't what you're portraying and you're just imitating something that will never be yours", metaphysical thing, reminds me of simulation vs simulacra where images replace the original.
The emulation of quiet luxury has become a hyperrealistic and self-imposing image of the upper-class lifestyle and it only conveys that the person wearing that style understands the image of wealth in its most performative essence. We are still left knowing nothing about the individual's identity and everything about their sole ability to reproduce an image. It makes you wonder, what do people want to convey at the end of the day? Do they want you to think they are actually wealthy or do they just want you to know that they understand what wealth looks like as an image? and is there any social currency to gain in just the awareness itself?
Amazing video as always!
Okay I know Luke said he didn't like people cutting up those red boots but the cosplay possibilities are endless and so cool! Seeing that one creator make the sonic shoes??? How fun
Right?! I was amazed by those!
Worst I've seen this year is the overstyling on Tiktok/Instagram. People say they are going to style a dress/shirt or whatever and then just add way too many things, making it look very incoherent.
Hmmm, so as a 6ft 1 thin black woman I have usually worn monochromatic subdued colors because it is more difficult to tell when they were bought due to the timelessness of the clothing. I do like to cry once and pay for good fabrics, flattering cuts and good tailoring. It is difficult to find these so I often own things for very long and employ a tailor to adjust when needed. Trends are more trouble than they are worth so this look has been my uniform for the last two decades and for the foreseeable future.
much agreement here
Quiet luxury and old money is the dumbest shit ever and I love you ❤
Me beeing into streetwear, I don't wear quiet lux, I do like the quiet luxury vibes but I do agree that policing and influencing ruined the trend.
Can we rename quiet luxury “matched patterns through a seam, silk and cashmere?” That’s all we oldies want back from the early naughts. We were so spoiled.
What I feel like a lot of people don’t get about the quiet luxury look, is only about half of it is about brands.The other half is how the clothes fit, because rich people who care get their clothes altered/tailored. So it’s not just that Shiv, for example, is wearing a pair of super expensive wool trousers; it’s that they’ve been tailored so that they’re smooth at the waist and hip, the knee hits her knee and they’re exactly the right length for her shoes. It’s the combination of well made clothing *and* expert alterations that makes quiet luxury work and it’s the main reason those articles that tell you how to dupe the trend are bs.
I read quiet luxury as outlet luxury and I can’t unsee it and it makes sense….💜
Also, can’t we just call it preppy like we did in the 90s?
Love it! Outlet luxury
Yep, I remember the days when we called it "preppy" 😊
preppy means something so different to gen alpha now! basically means like skincare cutesy girl
I don’t like the idea of expensive clothes that look basic. You can say it’s quality material but we all know that these rich people who wear the row and Celine in their everyday life won’t keep a sweater for decades.
Good point!
i don't totally hate the motojacket trend, but to be fair, my friends and i are all cosplayers and they all really enjoy the techwear/cyberpunk aesthetic it gives. i'm assuming the video is mostly talking about trends in the general public, but it's kinda fun to see when subcultures crawl out into the mainstream. the way i see it is someone who's exploring fashion for the first time might relate and get into it, making them involved into the subculture more, which is what i hope for.
Quiet luxury is quality clothing that looks good on everyone and doesn't go out of style. I hate the name Quiet Luxury!
People acting like “quiet luxury” is this new thing is extremely funny to me considering the rich have used subtle wealth signifiers as a kind of secret code to make themselves feel better than ‘the poors’ for CENTURIES. And normal people have tried to copy those signifiers for CENTURIES (through fashion but also manners, speech etc). My question is why would normal people want to encourage the most insecure, insufferable wasps of past and present to make fun of them as they try and fail to cosplay their lavish lifestyles? Please, these old money assholes already think you’re a peasant, don’t act like one! Have some dignity and be interesting 😭
Girl!!! This is the one right here!! 💯❤️🙌
NIce turn of phrase - 'cosplaying their lavish lifestyles.' You nailed it!
I love this point about poor people trying to copy rich people for centuries because it's so true and something I haven't really seen spoken about!
@@wordsbygemm Thank you! ❤ Yes I've seen a few different analyses of 'quiet luxury' but they tend to be narrower in scope, maybe because it would be easy for it to just turn into an entire sociology course and not a fashion video lol. Still, I feel like there could be an entire series on this subject! I'd love to see someone do a deep dive on it
i dont think theyre cosplaying to fool the ''insufferable wasps''. theyre cosplaying to fool other peasants, lol.
Omg I can’t STAND Anna Bey. It’s not that I hate minimal chic fashion, she just has a horrible sense of style yet acts like she is superior.
Her looks are very outdated.
I mean she never said she is superior, she constantly reiterates that she does not judge people but merely gives tips based on her personal style. Though yeah her looks are not my favourite most of the time.
@@AnnaA-bw5gb oh she definitely judges. Someone who says someone doesn’t look classy is judgmental.
lots of people don’t know or appreciate Anna Bey for who she is and used to be, years ago before her channel really blew up she was a secret gem for “sugar daddy influencer content” and gave tips and tricks for dates, how to keep men around and make them do things for you, appreciate you, buy you things, ect., after she was getting more mainstream and featured on the UK news and started to go viral, she then changed her content to more “etiquette, classy style fashion” the real Anna Bey fans know what’s up and I can appreciate her getting her bag, always 😹😎💜
@@krisnickole Lmaoo so much for being ~classy~ then. I’m all for doing whatever you have to do to get the bag, but switching it up and acting like that never happened is hypocritical.
I just love how much more sassy Luke is in this one!!! Let's see what 2024 brings, can't wait for the videos!!!
Being from Australia the home of the Ugg boots. These guys have been a crowd favourite since the early 1970’s and were first manufactured in 1933 by Blue Mountains Ugg Boots of NSW. They will always be the comfy option 😁
Heard they’re not even made here or Australian owned anymore
Growing up in the late 90s and early 2000s baggy jeans were very in! But personally... I hated them so much 😭 in part, it was because of my body type. Most of the people you showed in baggy jeans are super skinny, so it doesn't really look bad on them but if you were like me very curvy and heavy you looked like a sloppy garbage mess lol 😂
Also, as a Chicana, sambas never go out of style 😎
As a big girl, I hate these shits. Skinny jeans actually show my shape.
Totally happy to see the fashion industry crossing with the animation industry. There are several mangaka that take inspiration from the fashion world like Jojo's Bizzare Adventure, Sailor Moon, and Bleach. I want to be able to see fashionable quality items debut
I’m weirdly not surprised you like the Uggs since they’re sustainable and well made. Quiet luxury used to be mix matching luxury like a Celine jacket with your fav targèt white t and calling it good. I miss that.
I grew up with the ugg. Never ever would I wear them. After time they wear down on one side and we get rain all year I never understood it. But each to their own. ❤
You are so right, Since I turned 30. I noticed the way I shopped has changed (thanks to watching your channel) but also due to you in another video. Stating that when buying clothes, look for clothes that are going to last longer. I have been doing so ever since. I turn 33 this week and honestly the last three years have been so amazing with the way I shop. I have invested better in my clothes and I'm seeing them last a lot longer, and I'm more on trend now that I dress for my body. Instead of trying hard to dress on trend
im old enough that ive seen every trend at least once and ive decided to stay in the baggy pant era forever.
4:29 I think the origins of this trend was a follow up from the “Clean Girl” aesthetic which came through girls such as Sophia Richie, Kim K, & Lory harvy as well I think
My thoughts exactly on the quiet luxury trend. You're not fooling anyone by wearing quiet luxury. You can always tell if someone comes from old money or they are just trying to look as such.
if you can't affird to wreck it, you can't afford to wear it.
~someone
Just thinking about what you were saying about quiet luxury and tank tops - the classism of it all! It's repulsive in ways I can't articulate when downing my coffee during my lunch break, but the crossover of classism and luxury fashion (the tank tops, distressed clothes costing a mortgage, quiet luxury, etc) is so.... aaaaah. I am sure someone else can use better words than I can!
The motocross jacket rant is hilarious. 😹
loved the rant on bows & every pic you added
I've watched you for awhile. Your comfort with yourself is evident now, and it's part of what makes these so much fun.
would've loved to see "influencer style" on the worst list. they all look the same. everyone wants to look good for a photo but they rarely look good for my eyes. there's no story, just aesthetic. it's boring and I'm bored.
That's not a trend specific to 2023 you're lowkey just being hateful about an ever-existing group of people lol
Anna Bey's content is literally about appealing to wealthy men and marring rich
OMG, your commentary cracks me up every single video! Dry sarcasm is my jam, and you excel at it. Add that fact to your obvious love for and knowledge of fashion, current as well as past, and you have created a winning formula. Thanks for the knowledge and the giggles you bring! Happy 2024! 🎉
I’m loving my wide legged pants BUT I also bought 3 pairs of skinny jeans because a girl likes to show off a shapely leg and it’s too cold for skirts, dresses and leggings aren’t always the vibe.
And sometimes a skinny Jean is just what you need for an outfit. I love my skinny jeans with boots and I will also be the bitch that rolls them up once or twice in the spring time and wear them with my slip on vans/flats 😂
@@gem2923👍🏽👍🏽
“To watch them actually moto and cross” took me out 💀 one note, I had a fashion blog in 2013 (lol) and I remember “reporting” about the no-pants trend back then but with really tiny exercise shorts instead of just straight-up underwear- I like where the trend has gone in just a decade, maybe we will be actually pantsless in 2033 😂 final note, even though you only see skinny ppl in the black undies/tights trend and not really on regular-sized ppl IRL, I think this could be the easiest trend to rock for all body types - all you need are briefs, tights, a statement shoe and a comfy sweater! Bonus if everything is in the hot colour of the year, bright red ❤
I agree that the no pants trend could in theory be very accessible to people of all sizes. But when I look at the reference pictures all I can think: "is it fashion or is she just skinny"?
Omg Luke, the motocross jacket rant. I cackled. And then the callback to the tanks. Appreciate you!! 💜✌🏼
13:50 I agree about the drapery clothing, I’m very tall so I’ve been used to things not fitting me correctly, but the pure joy I get when the sleeves not just stop at the end of the wrist but even extend further to poof up my arm sleeves when buttoned up? I get really excited!
THANK YOU for your wonderful rant about quiet luxury.
please do not let the bow die!! Even if they bow thing goes out of style, let's at least continue with ribbons
Luke thank you for your hard work throughout 2023 I appreciate your love and passion for what you do and always enjoy your content.
I love those silly red boots. I don't want them. But I like knowing you can dress like a cartoon. I am happy that they exist .❤
'okay youth, get into it!' i love you so much!!!
Personally being a calmer more laidback person myself, I enjoy the no logo “quiet luxury” look. Nice soft beiges and creams, more softer muted tones overall, but the funny thing is half the stuff that would fit the category that I have are pretty cheap. Got lucky with my finds in the H&M sale section 😂
It’s just the people that purposefully flaunt whatever Gucci or other big brand that irk me and give it a bad name. It’s meant to be a nice cozy style, none of that bravado
Been waiting for a Haute le mode take on 2023 trends all week!!❤😍❤
When I have to pick out a wool winter coat, Calvin Klein/Anne Klein have the kind of construction and materials that will last 10+ years. Definitely worth the investment (as someone who balks at spending more than $10 on a secondhand shirt)
Love you and your cozy sweaters
great video once again Luke, i've been following your channel for over seven years now and everytime I get a notification of your channel I get excited. Thank you for your honest opinions and making fashion fun and accessible. I hope you have a great year ❤❤
I like the QL trend for inspiration when it comes to picking fabrics and creating patterns for my new wardrobe pieces.
I just finished a beautiful long Tweed skirt suit and 2 silk slip dresses ,1 black, 1 champagne ( which I wore over the holidays) and I'm about to start a pair of trousers and a vest to go with the skirt suit .
I've definitely jumped onto the natural fiber bandwagon working now with silks, linen, wool, tweed ,cotton, leather/ suede ,hemp ,bamboo, cashmere, mohair...I'm working on a capsule wardrobe of pieces that will last at least a decade ( but hopefully a lifetime ) so very classic silhouettes .
Yeah I feel like ppl aren't getting that the aesthetics and ethos of a trend can be separated
i LOVE when celebrities method dress for carpets and press! it was so fun on the Mario movie carpet with all the VAs paying homage to their characters and then with barbie, it is always just so fun
Because I know my way around a horse and a pair of skis, I can’t afford quiet luxury. Besides, barn clothes and really warm ski wear are ugly, comfy, and (at least in the case of barn wear) washable! 😂
Bows, I have always loved a bow tie and it’s close cousin the bolero. They can go masc or fem, dressed up or down, patterns, knots I think there will be lots to see with this!
Ugg slippers just look like the house slippers that eastern Europeans have in their homes for guests to wear after they take off their outside shoes.
Brilliant video! I'm definitely ready for quiet luxury to be over.
Those aren't hot pants. I'm old enough to remember the original hot pants which were a very short short. The ones that were shown as 2023 version look like mens underwear! 🌞
Anna Bey probably popularized quiet luxury but she also hates it as a trend 😂
One of your best videos. I always enjoy your take on fasion. You just keep getting better. Well done!
Loved these takes & explanations! You were extra funny today & your Staten Island accent is the cherry on top fr 😂 much love from across the Verezzano 😂💕
so agreed on the bows and ribbons and I feel like the fun creative side of it always makes me think of how Griff (a British musical artist, not sure how well known she is in the US) styles herself - feel like you would love her fits
The underwear as outerwear trend will forever be associated with SATC for me and Carrie and her jewelled panties for the fashion roadkill moment 😂
100% agree on your quiet luxury take. Also people should learn about Dutchess of Alba to rethink how old money can look like, which is not necessarily quiet.
Big agree on the wife pleaser trend, it’s such a practical thing that the idea of spending more than 10 bucks a piece on them seems ludicrous to me. I wear them all the time for that exact same “chemise” reason, especially in the fall/winter when I’m wearing natural fiber sweaters pretty much every day, so why would I spend oodles of cash for something that will inevitably stretch out/stain/whatever after a year or two??
I agree quiet luxury is talked about way too often. It's clearly not quiet because everyone is doing deep dives, think pieces and analysis related to it and creating content about how to get the look, it just kind of defeats the point of what it's apparently meant to be. I also think that it just gets sold to the average person as another version of minimalism with plenty of get the look for less/on a budget type content that highlights simple pieces from high street / fast fashion brands.
Yea those ugg clogs were super cool on like 1994 they were made by Birkenstocks with that exact kinds of stitching around ankle.
I love your thoughts that went into your reasoning behind best and worst, especially your take on the red boots. It really amplifies that if a trend is gonna be IT for you, and it’s not just a phase for you, it’s still cool. Otherwise, kinda wasteful and try hard.
YES to baggy pants!
I love your take on fashion❤
This was my favorite best & worst of fashion videos! Especially the take on 'quiet Luxury' so true!!!
Luke, happy New Year ❤️. Always enjoying your fashion reviews
I remember those ugg slippers being a trend in 2009 among the dancers in my area. When i saw that my sis wanted a pair and thought they were the next big thing (significantly younger than me) I chuckled and showed her some photos from my year book.
I completely agree with what you said about quiet luxury. People who are born into multi-generational wealth have an aura about them, a behavior, a persona, that CANNOT be faked. They can wear rags and still look very regal.
I loved this video and the fact that you talked about quiet luxury, but I must say that even Anna Bey said in a video that in her opinion the "quiet luxury" and "stealth wealth" trends were quite foolish and that on her channel she didn't want to teach people how to emulate the rich, but to help people improve themselves, even when it comes to fashion; in any case she didn't exactly started this trend, or better, she didn't make it mainstream in any platform because it is many years that she talks about "classy ladies" on her channel and how to become one, not try to fool other into thinking that you are one.
Terrific video. Thank you for all your hard work and sharing your gift of entertaining knowledge.
✨🎉Happy New Year🎉✨
The slipper Ugg is just comfort without the struggle of putting them on or off…that’s it…👍
