this is and always will better than brocolli head and white nike ankle socks
And mom jeans. Why the mom jeans??
They’re comfy and I like them.
I accept the personal comfort level, but the fashion is atrocious 😩
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ de gustibus, non erat disputandem
Some disputandem
Well, when you get to the age where mom jeans are what you want, it’s a given that you’re also at the no fucks given age WRT fashion.
It’s as liberating as hell.
I blew past mom jeans and went straight to cargo shorts and a strap belt to hold them up (in spite of being fat, I still have no ass), flip flop sandals and leg warmers. And an oxblood woolrich winter flannel shirt.
Found them in their Gen-X mom’s closet? I remember a lot of the girls I dated back in the early nineties wore them because they were pretty cheap. You could get them in K-Mart, Wal-Mart, etc. When I met my now wife she would wear Wal-Mart jeans and these bras (also Wal-Mart) that must have been designed in the fifties and had this slightly conical look to them. This country was broke as fuck in the early nineties and we looked it.
I swear the conical bras were popular because of Madonna! I don’t know if that’s actually the case but that’s what I always associated them with, lol
Madonna is a well known, more modern wearer of those kinds of bras, but… they were actually a pretty common type of bra going back to the 40s - 60s, worn by Marilyn Monroe and many other actresses and models / pin up girls.
Behold, the 1950s ‘Bullet Bra’ fashion trend:

So… Madonna too was actually doing a retro callback, as Gen Zers are now doing with ‘mom jeans’.
Up coming demographics will usually embrace whatever is cheap and cringey at thrift stores because they are broke. When enough of them buy in it becomes a trend.
Mom jeans are hot
Dad, get off Lemmy.
Lol
90s retro aesthetic.
Its cool because they look terrible, ironically!
Haha guys isn’t that so clever?
… its basically brainrot irony poisoning as a fashion style.
I am still confused by the Sydney Sweeney ad showing off jeans.
Booba, she has, junk in the trunk, she does not, and those jeans made her look like she has Hank Hill’s ass.

At first I heard the howling about that ad being dog whistling for Aryan eugenics, I thought it was just overreaction. Then I saw the ad and yeah, it’s absolutely Nazi shit.
Yeah I initially just saw one of them and was like… yeah this is somewhere between ‘pretty edgy’ and dogwhistling…
… and then I saw more from the same campaign and was at the “ok, really?” stage.
But all that aside, I still just don’t get why you’d put her in an ad campaign for pants, telling the viewer they make your ass look great, when what is shown is … again, basically Hank Hill ass.
I guess the marketing execs realized that language is now fully in hyperreality mode, and if you just have generally popular pretty person say thing seductively, it is true.
Someone please stop the capitalist realism ride, I want to get off.

Every generation goes through a trend of trying to dress older than they are. Momcore is kind of the GenZ version of Millennial “preppy” look.
tbh that look repulsed me as well 20 years ago, haha
You’s trollin’!
Is that Boxxy? That name just jumped out of the depths of some deeply buried memory…
Yeah, ‘It’s Boxxy you see’
Its called fashion, look it up honey
fashion IMO is the pre-stage of fascism: It’s not based on reason, it’s make-belief, and people fall for it.
Spoken like a dripless mfer

What’s great about this quote is how inclusive it is, it’s literally in the first episode of Invader Zim (not counting the pilot).
Hey, now, we’re all friends here, there’s no need for that!
This was peak fashion

This is now a femboy look.

I saw a Gen z scenegirl/femboy couple on the bus last week lmao
Girls like this were so hot to me in 2008

This comment right here officer
As an elder statesman, I am thankful that my city has a number of seasoned women that still pull off this look.
Half of them are insane, but that is to be expected.
Who says this? Millennials and Gen-Z basically wear the same shit, at the tail end we’re separated by 0 years.
, at the tail end we’re separated by 0 years.
I’m pretty sure that’s how every generational boundary works lol
Gen Z wears the same socks my grandpa did, except they pay 5x as much as he did, even when adjusted for inflation.

What else is new?
as usual i just sit here going “where the fuck are young people doing anything stranger than being cringy about video games?”
seriously, i have never in my life seen kids do these things people online say they do.
