reacting to 2023 trend predictions | what i think about the fast trend cycle (it's fake)

[@mergoo4567]

i think people on tiktok confuse trends with fads. i think in general trends are more widespread (moving from skinny jeans to looser fits and high waist to lower waist, transitioning from blacks to browns and golds to silvers, etc) which have been happening at a slower pace for a longer period of time like you said. but!!!! on tiktok people see specific items or aesthetics (leg warmers, the house of sunny dress, balletcore) styled over and over and say it's a trend when it's actually more just a fad which have always been short lived (think like JNCO jeans and scrunchies in the 80s and 90s)

[@moira_y]

Yes!!

[@scriptonaut7242]

nail on the head, you should post this on every trend forecast video on tiktok lol

[@lilithbachelder4631]

It honestly feels like people completely forgot the word "fad," you're absolutely right!! It needs to reenter the lexicon, not everything is trendy vs. timeless

[@Rosa-sv4yc]

Yes!!!!

[@LouleyK]

Oh my god, this video spoke to me so much, especially about fashion being art and you can enjoy art without owning it, I love fashion I could watch it all day but Tiktok fashion isn't art its rabid consumerism and I always feel like I need a shower afterwards ...... or is that just me? 😂I'm 50 I've literally seen all the trends before but videos like yours Laini help me keep the faith, love what you do! ❤️

[@juila887]

This is something I learnt a couple years ago with consumerism as a whole, to treat stores more as a museum where you can pick up things and admire them while you’re there. Even walk around the store with it and have time to think if buying it will add any value to your life or if just enjoying it in the moment is enough. I find that consuming fashion content and saving pics to my Pinterest boards is largely enough for me

[@juliannesweeten5203]

I've learned something interesting lately. I was reading a book about fashion, and the author claims that "asymmetry implies nudity," their rationale being that because the human body is symmetric, wearing asymmetric clothing implies an incompleteness, or a lack of coverage. The weird angles trend reminded of this. idk lol

[@sakinaalia1067]

What’s the book? I love reading about fashion!

[@emmy8526]

In the pre-internet days (like 1980s-1990s), there were companies that would go out and photograph counter-culture street style around the world and assemble it into a big physical lookbook a couple of times a year. This would then be purchased by the big fashion houses to help them design with modern, unique style elements poached from actual people going about their lives in the real world in bold, original looks. We should all aspire to be that original street style, not the runway big business derivative!

[@grace_rose]

"get offline and you won't feel so overwhelmed!!" YES! Whether it's clothing, mental health, relationships, news cycle, taking a break from social media is often much needed.

[@apurvanair9817]

You’re the only fashion influencer I trust

[@LainiOzark]

🫡

[@kr3642]

My problem for the last several years has been that in store fashion near me is ugly and thrift stores are over picked. So I ended up wearing a t shirt and jeans, and completely losing my personal style.

[@WowzaTalent]

Me too lol it’s so hard sometimes but depop has helped me

[@samanthazhu1234]

Might be a bit ambitious but learn to sew. It’s so rewarding and you can literally make anything

[@Justaregularoldplumbus]

Idk if this is an option for you, but I find when I go out to more rural areas I always find better stuff in thrift stores! Places with different demographics than myself, cuz we tend to look for different things and not all picking over the same items Edit: I second the Depop thing when you’re ready to splurge on a specific item, and I really think people sleep on Facebook marketplace!! It’s the closest thing to an online actual cheap thrift store, vs Depop and Poshmark are like curated consignment shop vibe

[@sophiecraver2179]

i love what u said about fashion as art !!! so true that u don’t have to own everything you can look and appreciate

[@LaurynAmini]

Someone else mentioned that you’re the reason they stopped buying into fads and trends and I couldn’t agree more!! Thank you helping me find my own style and also save a TON of money in the long haul, I appreciate you so much!! 🥰

[@MADKC4Ever]

What you said about just enjoying art and not always having to be doing it yourself reminded me of what RM from BTS said about his enjoyment of art - sometimes when he listens to music, he feels a sense of jealousy and competition if he feels somebody made a “better” song or album because he’s a musician. However, he’s able to just enjoy and find peace in paintings and art and walking around museums because he’s not in that world and can’t do art himself. Sometimes you are able to enjoy things so much better when you aren’t involved with it!

[@LainiOzark]

Omg this is too true!!!

[@cheyzah]

i have a friend who also loves talking about fashion and just different outfit ideas and we both drag each other to filth in a fun way about what we think is cute and not. it’s just so fun to have someone to talk to about this stuff. i wish i had more lol this is why i need u and my other fashion faves.

[@ks1111]

ur the reason i stopped buying into every fad and started trying to find my own style ❤️ forever grateful for u bc u saved me so much money lmao

[@breleighupchurch5698]

I agree, metallics started trending along time ago. Same with ballet flats etc…. I bought silver miu miu ballet flats in 2020

[@Justaregularoldplumbus]

Am I the only one who groups all the trends of 2020-2023 into “muted Y2K thrift store Chamberlain-Djerf chic?” It all fits into the same cohesive box to me lol I don’t even need to know the micro fads because the large trend as a whole is so clear to me, I feel like I get it and can recreate that whole general vibe without knowing the specific pieces. Wish I knew a better name for the 2020s macro trend

[@Mbromberg2]

All so true. Everything comes back in style in some way every 3-7 years. Even when I look at what was popular to thrift. The nightgowns and nighties as daywear was a thing in 2012 and 2015. First as vintage camisoles and slip dresses. Then the same style came back in but layered with relaxed t shirts etc. I’ve kept a lot of the same clothes especially vintage for the last decade and almost all of it goes in and out of rotation year to year and I rewear almost every “trend” multiple times. Puffer coats were in and out since I can remember. I love these videos from you because I shop way too much (thrifting eBay Depop on and on) and these videos make me realize the best place to shop is in my already giant wardrobe. You also got me back into selling my own clothes. Can’t believe you’re posting all this golden content while you have a newborn. Very impressive. ❤

[@aiyana7077]

did NOT realize just how many tops are crops nowadays until you mentioned it. omg. it's like longer tops are pieces I didn't even realize I was yearning for

[@Rosa-sv4yc]

I love the intro to this video!!! I think looking at trends is so fun. I always think surely the most fashionable person isn’t just the one who just found out about the trend first , but who thinks up/ follows their own personal style. Absolutely adore your videos

[@minalabudovic]

High fashion isnt really creating new trend this season i think bc of the recession. We all know their collections and trends trickle down the whole fashion machine but people havent been buying as much so they arent making new trends/keeping the same things trending so they can sell last season/year collections

[@aiyana7077]

big brain moment!! literally never thought of it from that perspective, thank you for sharing your insight and opinion. it makes complete sense.

[@Ellzy1]

I had an older couple whispering (really loudly) about my Jadon boots in the cancer clinic. Like. They are basic af black boots. They aren’t trendy even anymore. I bought my first docs in 1979 (I’m old too). I’m at a point where I enjoy wearing My style. It’s usually toned down punk or ungendered trending. My style icons are Vivienne Westwood, Betsey Johnson, Dianne Keaton and Helen Mirren. I love watching fashion shows and Fashion is my favorite art form. Trends and fads just aren’t me.

[@madison_brooke]

One random thing I really hate about trend predictions is they often contradict themselves. I saw one source say that denim on denim was out for 2023 but now vogue says it’s in 😂

[@ervinsmoviecorner8748]

Happy Lunar New Year of the Rabbit, Laini!🐇🐇❤️❤️

[@SofiaTheWeird]

Slip dresses have been in for so long and I love buying them as sexy pijamas and to wear under dresses and long skirts in winter ( just like grandmas do)

[@mozorellastick2583]

Yea I've been seeing nightgowns since literally 2014

[@josemateopeyrellade6727]

The Beginning of this video(b4 the trend predictions) is straight up facts, so true completely agree 😆💕

[@sarahmorantaylor]

thank u for this 💕 I love fashion but the internet has been so overwhelming in terms of talking about fashion and trends and this really simplified things

[@AnaBritoliveira]

love this approach honestly cause i myself for example am living in summer season and obviously a lot of influencers that i keep up with are talking about cold season clothing and what i like to do to get a little inspired is to revisit the past videos about summer and spring, so what you said in this one is exactly what i feel doing that: most things are still trending and have been trending for the past two years, especially considering what has been happening to the world until this point. so all this things that are "trending" are basically about relying on what you already have been liking and maybe expanding on that. sometimes these predictions go a little crazy 'cause they forget how people feel about finding comfort in their pieces, but like c'mon of course we wanna keep what's working for us... (and honestly, we saw with tiktok what happens when you go for the overly trendy piece they try to shove on our faces non stop during two weeks and then nevermore)

[@ThreadsObsessed]

FOR REAL !! I think people just do the trend predictions with what they are currently seeing ... thats not a prediction, especially if you are involved in the fashion world 🤣 But i think the fashion girlies are ahead of mainstream of course, so people who arent into fashion see this and think oh ok thats what we will be wearing, but those who are into fashion, runway or pinterest will have been wearing, & seeing these trends years before

[@elisabethhshack]

Okay here's my take as a person in media--these online media companies just need to publish articles and trend predictions are just too easy

[@TheEssentialsClub]

Loved you perspective during the intro! So so true.

[@rhyrose4813]

I feel like a lot of trends start with the initial concept and as they grow in popularity they are refined, sometimes reimagined, and most of all, they become better executed

[@xoAnimeLoverxo]

you are the only fashion girlie i can watch for the reasons your opening stated. you keep it REAL

[@chamomilde3140]

I think the best thing I've done (unknowingly) for my personal style has been to never download tiktok lol. It's like I'm in a bubble, of only youtube and pinterest, which has a bias to it, (I think because its older people who use pinterest lol?)I also find that there's more chic and WEARABLE outfits on pinterest than what I've seen pinned from tiktok. It seems that tiktok prioritizes looks cool, rather than feeling genuine.

[@LainiOzark]

Yes tiktok is the devil

[@juliagoldschmidt1876]

Could you possibly do a video where you talk about influencers or people that you like to follow on Instagram/tiktok/KZbin and Pinterest for fashion inspiration and what you like about them? 🥺 I would love thatttt

[@ciaraa1141]

I also love this bright green! I got a plaid shacket, a dress and a cute ottoman in this color last year

[@michellebelledejour]

These so called trends are just being repeated or given some new catchy names. You proved how lazy these journalists are. That’s why I love your take on fashion 😎💯

[@tayntot234]

I’ve been wondering about this too!! Literally the same thing- like why am I seeing the Tik Tok trend predictors predicting trends that Laini predicted last year?!?! You nailed it - we are v heavily online and sometimes can loose touch with reality

[@thelittlethings678]

I am a big fan of pastel key lime green. Especially after watching Jil Sander’s Women’s FW 22 that had similar shades. Last year target sold a hand made pastel lime green knit and I recently thrifted a long coat in the same color. It’s a great way to brighten up an outfit! It’s crazy how many compliments I get on that color. Same with periwinkle blue and bright red. Classics!

[@noacolle9176]

Besides being a fashion inspo, your skin/ makeup is gorgeous

[@zoegoo8904]

Laini imma just say it loud! GURL YOU ARE GLOWING!!!! xx

[@heresalook]

I assumed you were gonna talk about the social media fast trend cycle (things that become SUPER trendy bc of TikTok and Instagram, like the House of Sunny dress for example)! That dress was extremely trendy then became “outdated” within a few months! But I enjoyed this video too ☺️👍🏾

[@LainiOzark]

You’re so right! I just feel like I have talked about it a lot in other videos, and to get away from it is really easy by just getting off tiktok hahaha

[@heresalook]

@@LainiOzark ​ you mentioned it briefly at 15:06 & i totally understand that and I agree! If ppl would step away from social media and also think about WHY you really want that item, that would help a lot lol

[@niasteinhagen751]

omg your makeup looks so good

[@mariainesrodriguez5095]

i'd love to see a video from you styling "in style pieces" that most people buy to show kind of like at least different ways to style the same thing everyone has, if that makes sense haha

[@Ohcccmcggg]

We’ve just seen sooooo much silver and metallic fabrics on the runways of Copenhagen fashion week this year which is in many ways the most accessible of all the fashion weeks, so I think it definitely fair to say its going to be a massive trend this year. I feel like we saw dribs and drabs of it from about 2020 but not enough to be a trend at that point… from reading I’ve noticed it only really took off again in 2022 which I guess means its in its full throttle trend mode right now! V interesting

[@diannarichards1674]

Ooh I’m excited to see the urban tops!

[@daryl30000]

i’m new to your channel, but i’ve started to watch enough videos to know what you’re referencing! when you mentioned the red slip dress i could picture it in my mind!! makes for a better viewing experience in my mind 😁

[@LainiOzark]

[@DarxideOfTheMoon]

[@LainiOzark]

[@Anne_fka_XATM038x]

I’ve been feeling so uninspired lately with fashion, but i think it’s because i really want to step away from “needing it” all and the money and capitalism side of it (and always feeling not rich enough and stuff, especially with massive inflation we’ve been dealing with in the netherlands) and the amount of time fashion and finding cool stuff takes from me when i couldve just been creative with my own wardrobe and actually wear my own clothes and done some of the other things i want to accomplish….. i’m doing a detox in fashion for a bit i think haha. Thanks for doing these videos, i find your opinions super interesting!! And realistic, which is lacking in the digital world/social media 🥲!

[@lexisuarez7484]

[@biasaldsssssss]

I love fashion so much. Lately I’ve been studying more about it and I really appreciate fashion but one of the bad facts that I am seen are how fast trends keeping apparently changing. Like, when I saw the mom jeans been trend, which I love and use still now ofc, people already were starting use again skinny jeans, which I also like but are not my favorites.

[@elsesullivan3376]

I love Laini, but this video feels like a "I knew these things were trending before you" - In some fashion communities, they probably were but in mainstream fashion they weren't - I would still say that the fast trend cycle is still very much a thing.

[@cybrnova]

you’re so stunning

[@sunkissedbeautyxo]

Yeah I get a bit annoyed when people get “angry” about the trend cycle being too fast. Metallic, low waisted, maxi skirts, chunky belts, ballet core, etc. have all been a thing for a few years. Just adapt those trends to fit your style or dont !

[@paygej8710]

Maybe I'm just an old millennial TikTok hater but I feel like on KZbin you can talk about trends as in literal pieces of clothing (materials and silhouettes) that will be popular and then TikTok pushes all these niche aesthetics and acts like everyone is wearing it when in fact they are not.

[@sophia-nd6bu]

kind of a strange question but where is the yellow top/dress you're wearing in the thumbnail from? its literally my dream neckline and colour lol!!
