Seeing all these fashion girlies wearing the latest trends online really creates some unrealistic expectations. This video is such a good reminder that in the end it's not that deep and it doesn't have to be a fashion show every day.

[@ashleighcallaghan]

ah im so glad you liked it, thank you so much for being here xxx

[@Kat_eyyyyy]

“Ppl are wearing clothes bc eve ate an apple once!” LOLLLL loveeeee 🍎🫶

[@ashleighcallaghan]

Heheh :))

[@demideridder]

When I went to art school I saw actually the online trends like boys wearing baggy jeans and ballet core ect ect but I think people there weren’t afraid to show they’re true style :)

[@ashleighcallaghan]

art school is THE place for good fashion sense , id love to be there oh my :')xxx

[@pagesandpopcorn2626]

I totally feel like there's also a big thing that a lot of online fashion girls are from america where spring is warmer like in the UK you just can't really wear shorts in march

[@ashleighcallaghan]

Ah yes so true !! England is only hot enough to wear shorts during our bi annual heat waves. The other 50 weeks of the year I’m wearing thermals hahha

[@lfglws]

No fr, not from the UK but germany, and the first time I saw someone recommending short shorts for spring I was baffled (same as mini skirts/ dresses wirh no thermos as a autumn trend)

[@JJ-ui1cn]

It’s still mostly girls dressed in leggings and oversized shirts or fitted jeans and tee shirts here from what I see. But I live in a very rural area so what I wear stands out so much that people recognize me while I’m out since I dress very “odd”. It’s a little embarrassing but they are generally very nice at least.

[@susanma4899]

If they live in California or Arizona, yes it's warm. But where I live it's still pretty cold! Tulips and daffodils are out, but it's freezing at night!

[@waterissogood]

eh, it depends on the region. the north (west to east coast) & upper-midwest regions have chilly springs. shorts in march are off the table. the us is so large that the weather patterns can't really be generalized like that.

[@itskylierae]

Life is so much brighter as a fashion girlie.

[@nadia_d3104]

this so crazy comparing to where im from (melbourne australia) literally all the fashion girlies wear the online trends stuff it blows my mind!!

[@susanma4899]

When you said, "It's still winter," I laughed out loud and probably shed a tear or two. Where I live, one day is spring, the next day is winter, and so on, back and forth until the beginning of May. Some people dress like "if I wear shorts and flip-flops, maybe nature will get the message," I see these people walking around my university campus...but I personally think they are insane.

[@ashleighcallaghan]

Same !!!! I ended up wearing a blend of every season’s wardrobe:)

[@Santi--]

I'm one of the few men here and I'm not ashamed. You're the best Ash, glad you're back. P.S. I know who David is.

[@ashleighcallaghan]

hhhahahahhhaha love that you know David !!xxxxxxxxx so glad youre here, reliable as always xxx

[@camillem103]

sometimes I do feel insecure about not keeping up to speed with the fashion girlies or having the same ‘eye’ that they do but I also think there’s something to be said about staying true to what clothes make you happy and feel good. I think the result is that people actually see what you wear and associate with a style unique to you. It makes me so happy whenever my friends send me a photo of an outfit or piece of clothing with the message “this is so you!!”. I didn’t even realize I have a recognizable style but other people definitely notice! Thanks ash for another lovely and thoughtful video xx

[@ashleighcallaghan]

ah this was such a pleasure to read thank you so much for taking the time ! I love this take , so positive :))) I hope you have the best day xxx

[@victtayl]

So true! Most people are pretty conservative and just want to blend in and not draw attention to themselves. In some ways it's reassuring, but life would be more interesting if it weren't like that. To see "the cores" visibly, I think you have to hang out outside Central St Martins or sthg.

[@ashleighcallaghan]

Yes you’re so righhtttt !!xxx

[@nopahrefa4466]

In my not so humble opinion, the internet fashion girlies live somewhere without weather, seasons, times of day, or indoors AND outdoors existing at the same time. Outfits are all fire, but 90% of the time it's like lets style this dress - pops on a long coat, a scarf, a beret and boots, you can no longer see the dress, AND you can't wear your styling items when you get wherever you're going, because it's inside and you're gonna MELT if you keep your outerwear on. Sometimes I'd like to haunt a fashion girlie through the day in a styled outfit for instagram, because I suspect it'd be very funny, and also that the conclusion is that sometimes you gotta suffer for fashion, and that's fine if that's what you want, but lets be real, practicality and versatility is what most people want out of their clothes.

[@ashleighcallaghan]

Hahaha yes soo true!! When I’m trying outfits on in my bedroom I wear all kinds of funky things but outside it’s raining so really I only have one ACTUAL option

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

Australian cities are pretty mild. You rarely need a puffer. No snow.

[@noewantstosleep]

as someone who is into ethical consumption and environment conservation... wear the skinny jeans! wear your 2010s moment! the longer you use an article of clothing and put wear into it, the longer you keep it from the landfill (and yes I daresay the goodwill bin), the better it is for our planet!

[@ashleighcallaghan]

Yes 🙌 bless the girls like you xxxxx

[@everlyw7892]

"i was judging and critisizing" REAL

[@ashleighcallaghan]

Hehehehe always xxx

[@ayushi2504]

Wow this actually made me realise that i m not missing out much on these fashion trends !! I was actually really tried and jealous from seeing all the girlies on ig and pinterest wearing whatever is trendy ! But this actually made me realise that around me girlies are fashionable but not the "trendy fashionable " i m from india and girls here where alot of baggy ,wide leg jeans with cute crop tops maybe florals one more often, midi skirts ,etc. But no one is actually following the trends or specific cores 😅❤ Btw you're so pretty and i really like your voice

[@ashleighcallaghan]

ah youre an angel thank you so much for sharing

[@bubbvald]

This is so reassuring to hear!! It's still winter here where I live and its still like -10 degrees and snow so I'm struggling to find nice outfits to wear for "spring". It also feels like the fashion girlies I follow on youtube only hang out with other fashion people so it's like an echo chamber of fashion so I never see any "normal" clothes haha. Thank you for this video, I've missed you!! :)

[@ashleighcallaghan]

ah such a pleasure to have you here !! ive missed you too xxxxxx

[@realjojo3]

Yay! I've been waiting for a new video from you! What you're saying is soooo true! I live in Dublin and literally no one dresses like what you see online. I was on the Luas (our tram) and every single person was wrapped up in a black puffer jacket. I saw one person wearing a skirt over trousers and I was shooketh!

[@ashleighcallaghan]

hahhhaah shooketh XD yes oh my I was exactly the same !!:D even in central London !

[@susanma4899]

I remember once I took a trip to NYC and was thinking, "I can't wait to see all the cool, fashionable people walking down the street!" But there were precious few. Maybe I was in the wrong part of town?

[@PaintedSheeps]

I'm qute astonished by your observation! I'm from Weimar, a really small town in Germany an I SWEAR here are so so many extremely fashionista Girls* and Guys*. Here skirts over jeans is sported by all genders at any occasion (Partys, University, grocery shopping) like I didn't even think this could not be a normal thing to wear. I love all the diversity in the looks I'm seeing on a regular basis and it's so inspiring fashionwise. Hopefully exploring your personal style and playing with onlinetrends in real life will be normal in your City soon too!

[@ashleighcallaghan]

Oh my what that sounds so cool !! Pls I’d loovvvv to be there bc it would make me feel less awkward about dressing up :))))) I’d love to wear skirt over pants but I’d be looked at so strangely I swear !!xxx

[@annaciulli1175]

Hi!! I follow you from Italy and it's very interesting to see how things are different here!! You can see a lot of people actually following the trends, even some more adult women.

[@annaciulli1175]

And even vintage is so in!! Saying you still shop at Zara sounds like a crime now

[@ashleighcallaghan]

ah im so jealous !! would love to be there :')xxxx

[@LOlmala22]

You’re always wearing the most beautiful sweaters 😭 tell me your secret I‘d also love to see your casual everyday outfits

[@ashleighcallaghan]

Thank you so much :’) I’d love to show you some outfits but I hate all my clothes atm , yk you just go through those phases .. :’) but I love playing dress up so tbh I think an outfits vid will be sooner than you think heheh xxxx

[@Ange47822]

Maybe it’s a Paris thing but I see skirt over pants on at least one person every time I go out lolz but maybe i’m just lucky xd I think it looks sooooo cool and the people are so stylish and also I also see it on girls AND boys and it never looks bad I love Paris and seeing cool people everyday

[@ashleighcallaghan]

ah pls im so jealous :') it would make me feel more comfortable experimenting with my outfits if everyone wore cool quirky clothes ! id love that oh my ! id feel so silly if I went out in skirt over pants over here :((((

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

I cannot unsee from 23 years ago.

[@aimeepilati2782]

as someone who lives in florence i actually see these trends all the time time. the only ones who r not following them are some of the tourists, and that’s how my italian friends say they spot them :,)

[@ashleighcallaghan]

Im so jealous !! I would love to be around fashion girls bc it would make me feel more comfortable to dress a bit more out there :0

[@lizziebkennedy7505]

Ah, Italia!

[@Chantys_personal]

This is so interesting! I suppose not everyone is interested in fashion, a bit like how im not interested in which car ive got, im happy as long as it gets me from a to b. Clothes are like that for most people.

[@user-rz5xr5ce7e]

[@ashleighcallaghan]

Ah thank you so much such a pleasure to have you here xxxxxxx

[@emme6080]

in nyc/brooklyn its hard to find ppl who dress fun but not trendy. like its very black and white- either trendy or classic

[@ashleighcallaghan]

ah like walking into a beige tiktok house hahaha

[@idontexist6366]

this video is so reassuring, i've been thinking about this lately as well. I'm actually a goth (ik not the demographic you'd expect) and i love to wear a lot of layers, lots of black, lots of accesories. But i can't be wearing that every day cause sometimes i'm just too tired or too busy to build an entire outfit, and i'll just wear jeans and a hoodie. I worry that i look too boring, but i've been trying to make peace with the fact that you can't wear a super ellaborate outfit every single day, you know?

[@ashleighcallaghan]

Ah oh my yes to evvvverything !! I love to dress in nice clothes and I try and look nice in my videos but day to day I’m normally just wearing trackies and crocs and whatever coat I’ve left on the bannister hahahah x

[@heartofely325]

It feels so good having finally someone acknowledging all this and bringing back the FACTS. The people who dress like online it girls IRL are a minority. Especially since as you said, in Europe we have something called winter! Great video!

[@ashleighcallaghan]

thank you so much ! so glad you agree xxxxx

[@carolinerosoff6823]

Ash omg thank goodness you're back. Obsessed. And fr this cold is lasting ! And the ppl are practical. I was the only person showing my knees out today.

[@ashleighcallaghan]

Ah you’re brave hahahaa I’m still wearing thermals under my trousers ;)!!

Gee this video really was such a perfect reminder for my brain!! Thank you Ash 💕

loved the video and also your outfit!! so cute! 🤩🤩

[@ashleighcallaghan]

Thank you so much :))))xxxx

[@romaeraegan]

in my experience, looking at people who go to my uni, what's popular is ugg boots, claw clips and flared trousers most people still wear jumpers and sweatpants though lol

[@ramonakroon2414]

In italy all the grandmas are still wearing the fur coats hahaha

[@ashleighcallaghan]

Ah god love them , im going to be that girl xxxx

[@robrobben6066]

Online fashion is just a parallel universe

[@ashleighcallaghan]

so true hahaha xx

[@f3eii]

This vid was genuinely so AWESOME. Made me feel much better bc lately I feel like I'm FALLING BEHIND on the fashion GIRLY trainnn. 100% agree w thiss bc eveytime I go out i rarely see CUTE pintrest core fits. And tbh when ever I come across them, it makes me feel self conscious 💀🙏 better fix this RELATIONSHIP. Thank you Ash!! 🎀

[@ashleighcallaghan]

Such a pleasure so glad you liked it :))))

[@thebluestheskies8973]

what i do is, i get updated about every fashion trend that starts to pick up the hype and think about it practically for a while i question myself "if i buy this will i actually wear this? will i be comfortable wearing it irl?" and i also analyse the longevity of a trend, i wait for the hype to tame down a little bit, to see if i, personally, actually like it or is it just that im getting influenced by everyone around me, and just like that considering everything i make a decision

[@ashleighcallaghan]

I need the discipline to do this hahahah

[@hellothanksforbeinghere]

your insights are really great. i am wearing a bright purple dress but i know ill change before i leave the house haha. i also hate baggy pants (hard to walk in) and i wear docs MJs because they don't slip when it rains. i prefer to look neutral when I go out if that makes sense. another great vid ash!

[@ashleighcallaghan]

Yes I’m so with you !! In the comfort of my bedroom I can wear anything , but out in public it’ssooooo differ t hahahahah

[@NicoleDap-db9js]

You are my favourite KZbinr I. Love watching your videos you have such a nice personality 😊

[@ashleighcallaghan]

Ah pls you’re so sweet I’m so glad you’re here xxxxx

[@priscascheffler5029]

I really enjoy your analysis and do agree to a certain extent. I think a lot of trends are maybe more worn in the evening or on the weekends, where people have time and have some place to go where they can actually dress up instead of showing up to uni in a fur coat ykwim? and honestly if you come to germany there are actually a lot of people wearining skirts over pants regularly as well as baggy pants etc. just my observation :)

[@ashleighcallaghan]

thats so interesting ! i def agree with you, if youre running round in the day you just want to chuck something on that serves its purpose so you can just do what you need to do, but in the evening youre able to play dress up :) lol maybe its just bc I don't leave the house after 6pm that I didn't think of that hahahah xxxx

[@emikachen]

its so funny actually that in london people are very casual and i live in a city w 300k population and every time i go out everyone are so fancy like absolutely insane fashion week whole year

[@millicentmay_]

This was so comforting!! I work in fashion design and I feel a pressure to dress everyday like I work in fashion but in reality, no one really does (and no one really cares either!!!) everyone I see on my commute is literally dressed so they’re comfortable, why are all of the fashion girlies literally existing only within my phone ? xxx

[@ashleighcallaghan]

oh my I feeeeel for you, whenever I watch tiktoks of girls that go to 'fashion school' or whatever, I always feel so intimidated by the idea that they have to so meticulously choose their outfit every day bc of the expectation they have good style . its kind of what I feel like in my videos (lol which I s why I don't post many styling videos bc im worried ppl will think I don't have good style eee)

[@lisalis5877]

Online lots of people are saying we’re moving away from sneakers but irl I see more people with sneakers than any other type of shoe. I see so many nike dunks (especially the panda ones), jordans and air force 1s, some sambas too but I have to say so many times it’s middle aged men who wear them (at least where I’m from), I know lots of football/soccer fans always wore them too. And yes, I see lots of bold eye brows too.

[@ashleighcallaghan]

Yes ! This is exactly what I saw :)) the fashion girls are wearing loafers with jeans now where we always used to wear trainers. I think since the ballet flat trend , online girlies have moved away from trainers but irl it’s more practical and comfier to just slip on a trainer

[@lisalis5877]

@@ashleighcallaghan so true! I always find it interesting what people in different places wear irl, our "ordinary" people seem to dress pretty similarly. ☺️

I think this is an England thing, actually ( and also kind off?? unfortunately) in Germany a lot of people dress according to the trends online and it’s soooooo boring

[@ashleighcallaghan]

thats what I feel like when I look at instagram. like yes I see you are fashionable and trendy but that 'fashionable and trendy' look is very particular and although youre not wearing the same as the next person I follow, somehow you look identical... I TRY and bring something new to the table, and also tell people what I really think rather than make things up because it is status quo or what gets views :) I really hope that comes across hehehe xxx

[@turnip1538]

Wow this is so different to what I’m used to! As a college student I’m surrounded by teenagers who are only just getting used to not having to wear a uniform everyday. Tons of goths, ‘kawaii’, coquette and office siren girlies floating around haha

[@ashleighcallaghan]

Ah how interesting !!! Tbh this is what I was expecting to see !

[@SonderNeighbor]

I agree, I work on a college campus, I can attest to that lol! Ultimately, I think it depends on the location, occasion, and city.

[@caterina3865]

Also, why does every fashion girl seem to have a sneaker in every color of the rainbow to match the outfit? How many sambas can you possibly have?

[@angelicahorsman5439]

wait I live in LA and haven't seen anyone under the age of 40 wear a skinny jean in years, it horrifies me that there are fashionable places where most people are still wearing skinny jeans lol

As a 50+ year old woman, I'm going to tell you something about Grandma-Core. Cotton sweaters, Linen pants, Natural fabrics nothing too close to the skin. That is a woman who is going through menopause or has gone through menopause and has cleared out all of the lycra, polyester, nylon, scuba, or any other non-natural breathable fabric from her wardrobe. I'm an attorney. My first hot flash happened when I was in court in a blazer and a very stylish polyester shirt dress. Rivers of sweat literally poured down my back and sides in liquid streams. I felt like I has invisibly burst into flames and nobody could see it other than the beads of sweat forming on my face and neck. I went home and stripped all of the non-breathable crap out of my wardrobe and all my shopping since then revolves around buying things I can actually wear when the hot flashes hit, even if it costs more. Nobody talks about menopause. There isn't really even much research about it. Older women are invisible even to the medical community. As younger women, please know the truth about Grandma-core. You will have to navigate it somehow yourself someday.
