[@Dollgirl4896]

I had a theory a while back that the reason Lily/Lola and Harper both dressed in such crazy fashions compared to their female best friend, is because the shows needed their female main character to have a female best friend, or she might seem like a weird loner, and because it's tv and sexism is a thing, the female best friend couldn't be played by an ugly actress, so they needed a way to still make the best friend seem "Other" to the audience, so they'd project unto the "correct" character, obviously cause it's Disney this way to make them seem "Other" had to be super PG, so they went with dressing them in a crazier fashion than the main character. It is, to a degree, also possible to see this in other shows and movies, where the female main character, while styled well, will look almost bland or boring next to her "excentric" friend

[@kellylynn1902]

I can recall COUNTLESS trips to Justice with hopes of constructing a shake it up style outfit.

[@jennifern.2364]

I vividly remember watching an episode of Shake It Up in 2010/2011 and raiding my closet to put together an outfit with a million prints and layers and random statement accessories that I had begged my mom to buy from Claire’s (think fingerless lace gloves and bows with studs on them for…some reason) but when I tried it all on, it just looked stupid. I couldn’t understand why they looked cute and I didn’t, so I cried about it and stuck to my basic preteen attire after that. I wish I could go back in time to tell myself they didn’t look cute, they were just on TV and I was 12 so I assumed their style was the pinnacle of fashion 😭

[@creepymiddleagedman]

I remember when I was 10, I tried to pull off the Shake It Up style and I looked like a whole clown. 💀

[@cicicave1279]

+creepymiddleagedman Honestly, you should have seen my style when I was about 6-8 years old or so. When I've looked at old photo albums, I noticed that I never really wore what others wore. And as I got older, idk if my mom made me start making clothing choices for myself which tbh isn't a bad thing at all and I've worn some major mismatched outfits when I was younger. And to some level, I still wear some mismatched clothes/outfits without a care in the world. Then again, I was 1 of the taller kids in elementary school where I was probably around 7 or so wearing bell bottom jeans. Given, idk if that was in style or not, but I was never "up" on fashion trends until my bff had introduced me to Low-Rise skinny jeans and when I mean low, I mean low-low. Sorry if a little tmi, but bikini style underwear is practically how low the Real low-rise skinny jeans were. Given, they weren't as low as that, but I'd wear my jeans just slightly above that which is pretty low under my belly button. Apparently, cargo jeans/cargo pants are coming back into style and I'm usually not one up w/the latest fashion trends, but that was def. one I went for. I got lucky enough to find a low-ish rise pair of cargo pants. In terms of the current low-rise jeans, the majority of those rise sizes are mid-sizes over the original original low rise size back from when I was like 13 lol. Apart from a potential friendship fallout, I think once low-rise jeans had been phased out into high rise jeans = Nope, I'm out. And I started to wear leggings and sweatpants far more often than not.

[@liabstrait8306]

Bruh when I was 10 too ! with my neon legging and short layered tops, all my clothes, looking weird at school, gosh, what a time it was...!! I was almost bullied for this 💀 people in my area wasn't really interested in Disney channel, my mom let me bc i was happy but she would say I looked ridiculous too 😅😂😂

[@cicicave1279]

@@liabstrait8306 I've looked at some old photos of mine before too. When I was in elementary school, I wore bell bottom jeans. But then I saw a picture of myself wearing 2 very mismatched floral patterns together. Also, I did go out in public like that and I'm like: "What was I thinking." Given, now being an adult who is 30, I still don't care about being mismatched, but I'd never wear 2 floral patterns again w/the way I had. I think about middle school/high school is when my best friend got me into Low-Rise skinny jeans. And I think by our Senior Year, one day, I asked her about it and she was like: "I haven't worn skinny jeans in ages," and this prob. around the same time High Rise jeans became very popular among the newer generation of kids. I envy those who can do both low and high rise jeans, but me = nope. So I stopped wearing jeans almost completely after that unless it was for work. But thankfully where I had worked at for about a year, their dress code was super laxxed and their 1 rule was "no blue jeans," which makes sense if you're going to be bending down a lot. I wore leggings so much when I had worked there. I literally started wearing leggings/sweatpants a lot more. Also, as I got older, I hated the bloated feeling one gets when they eat junk food when wearing jeans, lol. And with sweatpants, you can't feel that. Technically, I can tolerate mid-rise, but still highly prefer low-rise. And most stores "low-rise's," are mid-size on me. Sorry, for the extra info, but my style wasn't the best when younger, either lol.

Although Lola's fashion wasn't great the biggest crime weren't the clothes but the wigs... Party City wigs can kill almost any fit

[@teddypawncrumps23]

Those “useless” belts, layering, and chunk accessories were all the rage in the 2010s, literally putting on accessories and more clothes just to put them on. I remember my mom dressing me like this because that’s what was trendy, and we didn’t even get Disney channel. It was at first a product of its time, and then became “Disney” brand to mimic this moment in time, almost like a time capsule.

[@ByrdCamp]

The Cheetah Girls aged so well omg. Those matching tracksuits

[@Frenchaboo]

As someone born in 96, Lizzie and her friends really look exactly like kids age 11-15 would wear at the time. Sometimes they aged them down too with colors and patterns (some of Lizzie's fits look very similar to my clothes when I was maybe 6, 7) but they let them wear more mature things too - it's important to keep in mind that at that time tweens still existed and people didn't go straight from 9 to a drunk elephant using micro-adult lol. Those later shows were kind of a mess with those layers. I wore skirts over pants, shorts over tights and 2 tshirts sometimes and again, I was by no means following trends but I've never seen anyone get up to the Disney level LOL

[@FullmoonPhantom-dn2sr]

Same age. I thought so, too.

[@blanketthecat3586]

I’m a 97 born and I think your point on tween culture is accurate.

[@NotWhatIamMadeFor]

and i think this is the problem we are having with kids today. I am older than you. I was in the 6th grade when you were born lol! But, I know a lot of bad things are coming to light about Nick and Disney but, I think we also have to remember that these shows did provide for an age group that really does get looked over now in 2024. We used to have malls and arcades for kids to hang out at. But, now it really does feel that kid are being expected to jump from "Bluey" to "Euphoria" without these channels there aren't really kids that are ready to be beyond preschool tv but not ready for the stuff adults are watching. The same goes for fashion and places to go. There is no middle ground anymore. We have 8 year olds bullying each other because they arn't going around with Stanley cups and using Retinol. There is nothing for this age group and family friendly tv shows are beginning to become a thing of the past! There are very few shows that a 9 year old can watch with their parents and each person is able to enjoy it. No places for them to go, nothing for them to watch. Then we complain that they want to jump into adult behavior. So, I guess I am just saying....What do we want them to wear? What do we want them to watch and where do we want them to hang out...because we complain that they are out there wearing retinol cream and trying to be mini adults....But what alternative is out there for them? I think this must be one of the hardest time to be an older child in modern history. In a way, I do wish kids today were dressing in "Disney" fashion because at least looking like the quirky "best friend" or wearing their hair in "Jojo bows" at least was not sexualizing them. What the answer is, I don't know. But, we are putting a double standard on these kids and that isn't fair either. I always say that childhood only lasts for a short amount of time. If you are lucky you get maybe 17 or 18 years to be a kid/teen. and when you think about our total expected life span and the fact that you have out grown so many childish things by the time you are 18, it's not fair. These kids only have a limited time to be kids and it is being taken away from them.

[@frostfang1]

Also a lot of the layering was a result of trends like belly baring tops and miniskirts not being school dress code approved. Youd need to wear a tanktop or When you raised your arms your low rise flares and highrise skirt would get you in trouble. As Well as some schools not allowing sleeveless shirts. so youd have a shrug or hoodie over top, and maybe a longer sleeve shirt Underneath. So while it wasn't all that sleek or fashionable it was an attempt to manage the restrictions we hadto work with and limited access to clothes, many of us relying on kmart, walmart, and JCpennys.

[@Vidaluz09]

After all of the Nickelodeon revelations recently, I'm honestly kinda glad they were putting extra clothes on these young girls

[@sur_un_nuage]

alex russo our fashion icon dressing up like her was a universal experience

[@matthewlucas4990]

In general, it is hard to sell actual fashion to children and preteens who rely on their parent's money. What you can sell is cheaply made, ready-to-wear, rhinestoned separates meant to layer. Allowing any of their young entertainers to "release a line" easily with their face on it.

[@chisom.]

this makes a lot of sense especially since disney put out a cheap line in target for basically this exact reason

[@Fawn123]

The outfits on Lizzie Maguire were probably the most relatable to the time and attainable. Definitely did not spend enough time talking about Raven and London, the real fashionistas on Disney channel. Everyone else just looked overtly tacky.

[@alexdom6714]

I would say they did a good job aging up alex as well… she definitely dressed a lot more feminine & mature as the series progressed! Especially in the wizards reunion!

[@akrzton1]

Not to mention, her concert uniform was jazzed up nicely as the seasons went on, going from pants and flats in season 1 to skirts and heels in the later seasons. I am referring to the concert band uniforms. I also like Music Support Group Academy’s current concert band uniforms, but the school is considering changing their uniforms for the next year.

[@jocelynecupcake]

Hey, this fashion has a type of aesthetic to it and unlike the Nickelodeon girls, the Disney channel girls kept their bodies covered because the directors weren't creepy old men.

Maybe or maybe not idk

Maybe? I think I agree to an extent. I don't think my parents were too strict with what they allowed me to wear, but I definitely remember layering pants with skirts, short sleeve shirt over a long sleeve one and a jacket or cardigan.

[@user-tc2ie3db3z]

I didn't have Disney Channel as a kid but as a 32 year old I still have furry scarves and berets, several items of clothing fully sequined, far too much costume jewellery, and every colour of the rainbow in my wardrobe. Didn't realise how much the fashion trends of my childhood stuck until this video! And I match outfits down to my make up and nail polish. Co-ordination is key.

[@MandyMeowington5]

Man I was OBSESSED with that Lizzie mcquire limited too collection when I was a kid! To this day I think she was the best dressed Disney channel character.

[@xRiriRebel]

I love your analysis videos of fashion in media! Keep up the good work

[@chisom.]

Thank you so much!

[@yunabrooks]

I've said it hundreds of times and I'll say it again: I loved the outfits back then and I still love them just as much today. No one can change my mind!

[@michelski3528]

I never really thought of clothes and fashion until when I started watching That’s so Raven, she was always so versatile with her clothes.

[@flavia9269]

Loved this analysis, your videos are always so good!!💕💯

[@chisom.]

Thank you so much!!😊

[@joannamarieart]

I would still absolutely kill for Harper's marker dress 🤣🤣😭

[@jocelynecupcake]

me too ^u^ I think i saw a cosplay video on it

[@user-dh8nt5mj5t]

I don't think that Rocky and Cece were aged down with the clothes they wore. Weren't they supposed to be 13 at the beginning of the show? When I was watching it being around that age, I thought they looked the age they were written to be and I was DYING to be able to have Cece's style. She looked so cool and badass to me 😂

[@lauraharrod6616]

Alex's wardrobe was The Bessst

[@bun__]

just discovered your channel and I am loving the content!

[@chisom.]

thank you so much i'm glad you're liking it ❤️

[@katharinaspeelman1623]

I was born in 2000 and still loved these shows with older cousins and siblings and mostly older friends when I was so young 2-8 or 9!!!

[@hannahstewart5337]

Didn't realise till now how much Lola and Harper's style influenced me till now. I've literally own a bright blue wig similar to one Lola wore!😂 And Harper's themed outfits are just wild and amazing!

[@jeonginbiased.]

When I was younger i didn't like the fashion but now I LOVE IT tbh the outfits are so cute

[@chisom.]

can't lie some of them ate

[@TheSandshrewBoss]

As a kid (like 8-9) growing up on Hannah Montana I was hooked on the fashion of the show! mini vests, belts, chunky jewelry, right down to neon nail polish! It’s crazy looking back, because now I am so out of touch with modern fashion lol

[@slashbat2375]

Say what you want but the Hannah yellow zebra print fit ate. And Raven? I was rewatching the show recently and I'd wear 90% of those outfits rn. A timeless fashion queen

[@kcjm7345]

I was so obsessed with the shake it up wardrobe 🤣. But in recent years I realized how cute ravens outfits are and this video highlights how cute Londons style was! Omg I miss these times so much, now I’m an adult.

[@kcjm7345]

I want a lot of the pieces I see in this video omg

[@mollyencrypted2488]

Honestly, I kind of love the vibes of some of these outfits.

[@chisom.]

same very nostalgic for sure

[@eidol0n]

Stop i love your channel i’m so happy i’m here early :)

[@chisom.]

aww thank you for supporting ily

[@lr5848]

Here in germany Disney Channel Shows weren't a big thing, but we looked at the pictures on early internet (about 2000-2003) and found them ridiculous :D Nowadays I get the appeal, because its bright and fun. Also some of the styles were really creative. We in Germany were more into the fashion of music videos and shows like Gilmore Girls and The OC.

[@user-yg8kq6sd5h]

at the ripe age of 25 I still can't help but enjoy shake it up outfits 😩

[@Glitteringmoonstone2022]

That LD2 commercial spoke to my 10 year soul. Thank you for that ❤

[@chisom.]

it spoke to mine as well 💕

[@senac.9876]

9:31 a good observation! i live in turkey and rn i'm 18, when i was 7 it was THE disney era. my primary school self would come home from school to watch shake it up. it was my fav. my mom would get angry at me watching these shows saying i was too young and these were supposed to be for middle schoolers but i wouldn't see the issue because somehow their age felt close to me. i think clothes played a good part in making me think this way.

[@chisom.]

my mom was the exact same lolll

[@LaurenFaulkner]

this video was so well done. love it

[@theishthing]

i like that my perceptive world was smaller and the fashion was a sense of comfort to me.

[@chisom.]

true i miss it sometimes

[@tina-2681]

love listening to a fashion girlie while i draw. New sub!

[@chisom.]

Thanks for subbing! 🫶🏾🥹

[@Annatomova7]

Some of these definitely influenced my style today. 😂 I love short 70s styled dresses and I wear leggings very often. I love scarves too. I’m 26… grew up watching that’s so raven, suite life of Zac and Cody and wizards of Waverly place.

[@melingitis]

loved this! london is iconic

[@chisom.]

ikrrr

[@abelsmile]

i was obsessed with alex russo's looks!! especially on season 1

[@mckenzieh2878]

This video was so fun 😊 I love seeing the fashion of the earlier 2000’s shows that I can barely remember compared to Hannah Montana and Wizards, which I remember much more clearly.

[@chisom.]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tarotreadingsbysteven8545]

I remember as a kid thinking it looked like a bunch of clothes were thrown in the air and whatever you caught you had to wear for filming that day 😂

[@swarple]

Wow the editing on that Lizzie McGuire sweepstakes commercial was an assault on my eyes lol. Early 2000s man. That aside, this was really interesting. I know absolutely nothing about fashion, but I remember my younger sister watching Shake It Up when she was younger, and my mom expressing her confusion as to why on Earth the girls on the show dressed the way they did. I’d never even noticed until she brought it up, lol. It’s cool to get insight on why the costumes were intentionally designed that way, as well as commentary from someone who likes fashion.

[@hannahstewart5337]

I remember having a sort of awakening as a kid one time while watching Disney Channel I was like "wait a second... these clothes are kinda weird... would anyone even dress like this in real life??" And I tried imagining someone irl wearing all those layers, contrasting patterns and unnecessary belts irl but it just didn't work 😂

[@yolanda6392]

New memory unlocked!! I miss the online hannah montana and shake it up dressup games

[@pendafen7405]

Hilary Duff is Aquarius Rising and 11th house dominant iirc, makes sense why her most famous character is a sweet popular everyman friend to all, and why she looks so good in boho prints, electric colours, and zigzag streaked hair. Even the perfumes she designed and released smells a little eclectic and exotic, despite also being very easily wearable, likeable, elegant and feminine (fitting her Libra sun sign).

[@obiwan-in-a-pudding2909]

I uninironically like the maximalist layered, sequined, colourful look of 2000's Disney stars. It's kinda iconic. Unmatched vibes. I dressed like Hannah Montana and Alex Russo until I was 18, that would be 2015. You're never too old for a bit of whimsy.

[@bookbrowboss4600]

Lizzie McGuire omg taking me back

[@ceciliacunha2268]

It was iconic tbh

[@Jaguarkralle1]

As a tomboy Sam from iCarly was PEAK fashion to me. I wanted to look like her so bad 😂 but looking back at the other Nickelodeon and disney girls, they definitely had an impact on my current style too. I love bright colors and bold patterns

[@jocelynecupcake]

I think Nickelodeon was worse than Disney though. I liked the outfits too, but you gotta admit the Disney outfits were less revealing most of the time

[@OwlBard]

I genuinely believe that, for shake it up, they just laid out all the clothes on the floor and just randomly picked out pieces with a blindfold. I believe there was a formula, but they just went the extra mile for that one.

[@zoebrugg7594]

Embarrassingly, its those shows that got me wearing tight pants, and one time boots in summer when my cousin was over. Mom said I was embracing her and to get different shoes. But boy did those outfits age!

[@genesisbenitez454]

I like Disney channels fashion sense and I love Hannah Montana outfits very iconic🤭💗

[@arialisestrellaartistry]

No wonder I have good style. Sone of my favorite outfits are iconic.

[@danielladahoui888]

On a kinda related note: There was an episode in Hannah Montana about changing her image and music, and at the end of the episode she decides that she’s fine exactly the way she is… only to change her look in season 3. I mean, it’s still recognisably a Hannah Montana image, but it’s also an updated look, so I wondered why they didn’t transition her look through that episode. The message could have been about not forcing a new look and identity and to learn to change gradually, as change is part of you and should come naturally. Miley could have come to the conclusion that Hannah Montana did need an update, as long as it wasn’t too drastic or was against who she was.

[@gabbygillies8256]

i cany lie i ADORE every disney channel outfit like ever, idc how ugly people say it is it always EXACTLY my style and i live and breathe it

[@gabbygillies8256]

esp alex russo shes my all time no1 style inspo

[@spntageous5249]

As a kid watching Shake It Up the most frequent question in my mind was - what weather were their outfits supposed to be worn at? Because they seemed bad for hot and bad for cold weather. I wanted to dress like them but whenever I thought about that it was the wrong time of the year and the outfits didn't fit the weather - which was all yearround (i live in a country that has a supposedly similar climate as Chicago where the show is supposedly taking place).
