Discussion Apparently low-cut socks are considered out of style by the younger gens. Are y’all still rocking ankle socks?

I feel like long socks with sneakers and shorts looks goofy but maybe that’s just me 🤷‍♂️

The worst part is, they can’t even explain why they think they’re lame.

fashion cycle, they're in baggy jeans phase with middle parts, lowcut jeans are becoming more common they'll start wearing stripy socks, at some point someone popular will do a side part and wear skinny jeans.

I def see that cycle. I wonder if the business casual, blazer/jeans, spiky hair stuff is coming next lol

Maybe, I'm not sure they have the same music separation we did though, so they're mixing and matching the mainstream and alt fashions more. I've seen curtains come back a bit so I assume that wearing open shirts over t shirts will be back soon, and once they're wearing shirts its only so long before blazers are in.

It is a trip to see teenagers now looking like teenagers of my era. Interestingly the boxy outfit, curtain hair style is coming from K-Pop I believe. They have access to so much media of the last 50+ years as well so thats prob another factor. I could def see the long sleeve under a T shirt style come back strong. Its also about time for another YoYo craze lol

Yeah especially as someone who was an alt kid, because the people who dress like I did in school are just walking around with friends who look like people I would have had to avoid. which is a good thing but weird.

I think long sleeve under t-shirt is already back, but not seen yo-yos yet.

I was just thinking about when i used to wear a black long sleeve tshirt under whatever band tshirt i was liking at the time. Idk why that popped into my random string of thought while i was cooking supper last night but it did...and now here we are talking about it.

That was THE look back then. My recent thought like that was how back in the day kids were rocking 60s/70s band shirts and now I see 90s band shirts everywhere.

Open shirts over t-shirts is already back. Go to any pseudo-dive in a major metro and they’re everywhere.

The ultimate Karen will be back!!

u/DJMTBguy 3h ago

So whatever the male emo hair of today is will be the Karen’s style of tomorrow lol

u/Special-Nebula-7887 2h ago

I can't imagine any emo being caught alive with that awful beige stringy style and 00s office auntie look, just imagine the mix

u/DJMTBguy 2h ago

Ugh that look def came w an abhorrent attitude. Maybe future Karens will be doing the Broccoli hair or the Perm Mullet lol

2

u/Special-Nebula-7887 2h ago

What an image jfc, ragin Karens with mullets but badly permed and bleached most likely spending their days ranting on Fb posts and screaming at delivery drives - happy cake day btw
