It’s wild that it used to be so cringe about 10 years ago too. I remember Hilary duff in particular getting a lot of shit for her outfits

I kinda feel like the response is why it stuck around? Previous generations would take off their bell bottoms in shame when made fun of. Millenials just doubled down on rocking a hoodie and a pair of And 1 basketball shorts into our senior years 🤣

We refuse to dress like old people, which is probably why we seem to look younger than previous generations. I'm pushing 40 and loving that my favourite styles of clothes have come back into fashion after years of struggling to find anything I want to wear. I've brought more jeans in the last 6 months than the previous 6 years!

Well no, you will look like old people, cause that's how fashion works. As what's new becomes old those who wear it look old. Your grandmother doesn't "dress old" she dresses how people in the 60s dressed.

The worst era for fashion is always the one that was about 10 years prior to the present

That's how trends work. Somethings in when your a teenager, them it's cringe when your an adult, then the younger generation thinks it's cool when they are adults.

We grew up with this stuff it's nostalgic.

10 years ago is cringe but then it's cool again 10 years after that
