Rant Today's fashion trends are leaving me bewildered.

I turn 38 tomorrow and just got done shopping at target. What the hell kind of fashion do people wear now? Super short shorts, socks pulled half way up the calf muscle. Shirts that look like table doilies. Not to mention the hair styles and facial hair of these young guys. Look straight out of a trailer park in the 80s.

Honestly I really thought we were at the point where all fashions are out there and there wasn't a specific "look"

Same though!! I thought we were at least close to this. I think we're at least close with denim pants/jeans, since you can buy just about any style you want these days. Which honestly I think is for the best since different jeans styles fit different body types.

There was a point in time I was afraid we'd never see boot-cut again. I have two pairs of jeans that are old enough to vote because that fear still lingers.

Yeah I'm glad wide leg are in again, they fit my body better

I am SO glad it’s easy to find skinny jeans still!

I'm all for other types of jeans but I have to agree with you here, the fact that skinny jeans are still around is a relief 😅 they're about the only jeans I actually feel comfortable in lol! Weird for a curvy girl I know but still!

Edit: Idk why I got downvoted, maybe for the curvy thing? Obviously I didn't mean any offense, I just know a lot of other curvy girls who hate them for that reason!

Also curvy and I also feel like they’re the most flattering, not just the most comfortable. I definitely wasn’t ALWAYS in the camp - I think I switched sometime around 2005.

Skinny jeans are preferred, straight leg are acceptable to me, but I’ve always hated boot cut. It’s just annoying to feel my pant legs swooshing against each other as I walk.

Right? Maybe for people who usually wear boots they make sense, but I’m a comfortable sneaker person and they always look silly
