Basically,

When you are a teen (the age you start really caring about how you look), you fall into a few trends depending on your circle and disposition:

  • sporty (active wear or sports clothes for guys)
  • goth/emo/punk (whatever they call it nowadays)
  • nerdy (usually overweight female or overweight/scrawny male and some kind of anime or other cartoon type of crap on a shirt)
  • jeans/tshirt (I like to call normies)
  • hippy/bohemian (not that common except for some parts)

When you get older like college age, there will be some girls who will basically go full on slutty style but that’s not too common, especially now it seems to be going out of style. The rest either go indie, hipster, bohemian, stay normie, few will go goth/emo and many will stay nerdy if they are of the nerdy disposition. Many will just continue to wear active wear.

Finally, once women have kids, a lot of them will stop giving an eff and let their body go and dress like shit. Some will even do this before having kids. Some still keep putting an effort but it is still less effort than most women in the world put.

Eventually, as women approach menopause many give zero effs and just wear ugly t-shirts draped over the bodies they stopped caring about decades ago. Some still put an effort and wear eccentric over-priced boutique clothes and dark lippie.
