I love this post, Kathy! Such an interesting subject. For some reason I have always felt that being on trend was kind of bad or lazy. Maybe it's a gen x thing. I don't want to be a follower! There's a funny 80s video with Mr. T and some then small time actors, and he's showcasing their fashion. He says something like "table the label, do your own thing!"
oh, your post left me thinking of how much the place where you live & the people you frequent can influence your style. but some trends i've seen around me definitely have to be 1) nostalgia, maybe like a longing for childhood 2) a drift away from minimalism 3) oversized clothing. i don't necessarily engage in all of them but i do love drowning in hoodies iwi
I wore black pretty much from age 17-49. IDK why, but post menopause, wear ALOT of white. Black & white sure, but prints of all descriptions have entered my wardrobe. Turning 62 in a few months & my closet is as colorful as it’s ever been. What’s the point? I couldn’t tell you but I love fashion & reading about & talking clothes brings me joy. So thank you for this opportunity 😉
