Just had the funniest memory. My friend carried a huge bag. She owned race horses, and her farrier asked her to pick up some special shoes he had made. Long story short. Someone had to hold the bag and joked “You have horse shoes in there?” She did.

[@astriddeslandes2373]

Hahaha. I have been asked the same kind of thing once when somebody handed me my jacket. Do you have rocks in those pockets? Well yes... 😂

[@patkern185]

I can't..I'm sorry but isn't much of the trendy trends just doing something crazy and different just ti be crazy and different?? What do any of these "trends" do to enhance or flatter?? Pass. I'll stick to more classic and classy fashion. Great video, Anna! XXOO ❤️

[@user-od8ve1sl2d]

Socks with sandals is a practical trend - stops me getting blisters!

[@justilou1]

Bedazzled jeans were a thing 40 years ago thank you very much. They’re also uncomfortable to sit in and rip the crap out of your furniture.

[@renees3820]

Yeah I dont buy embellished/bedazzled things anymore. Or super ripped stuff. Everything needs to play nice in my washer lol

[@ANNAREID29]

🤣🤣 that is actually a great rule to live by

[@user-bi4hq9lq3c]

The knit shorts outfits remind me of summer PJ'S.

[@doricetimko5403]

They’re really comfortable

[@latinaliz]

“Ma’am you forgot your pants” 😂 Love your commentary , and I’m in agreement with all of these as I’m 48 and certain trends aren’t classy or appropriate for middle aged women. ❤

[@liliyalopez8998]

I think this trend is not appropriate for any age 😂

[@ANNAREID29]

Agreed! ❤️❤️

[@DonnaScharff]

I can't even imagine the stares and whispers from others if I stepped into a restaurant wearing a pair of undie shorts with a sheer skirt, my socks and mesh ballet flats (which I also like) and a nice bando top. My husband would be throwing a trench coat over me before I ever left the house! lol Fun video Anna, thanks for staying in touch with fashion and keeping us looking great!

[@mariadouglas1980]

I love my baggy jeans. I literally wear them with button-downs and sweaters and blazers to work. lol

[@ANNAREID29]

You are one of the people who make them look amazing!

[@og6920]

Pushing 60 (fellow FL gal) and I love socks. With the right shoes/outfit, they are so fun!

[@tonyak2446]

The mesh skirts can be worn on top of another skirt as a layered piece.

[@ANNAREID29]

Seems like too much layering for me! lol

[@katherineh.9379]

I disagree. Don't like the mesh shirt trend at all. Also counts for the half mini skirt/half mesh skirt.

[@LisaFaiss]

I’ve been thinking about sewing a mesh shirt specifically to do this!

[@magdlynstrouble2036]

I've even seen an entire black tulle dress over a floral sundress. I wouldn't wear it but it was super cute on a younger person.

I have long thick hair and have been wearing a half up with a thin ribbon tied in a bow. I went to a craft store and bought a bunch of different colors. I get so many compliments on my hair and love the bow trend. 😊

[@taraozekin]

I love the sock with Mary Jane’s look. I think it’s precious. Also the dress you wear in the ad for bergdorfs is AMAZING! ❤️

[@jenscloset]

I'd definitely try a small amount of embellishment on jeans!!

[@laura6796]

I absolutely love the black and white dress! I could never pay almost $400 though.😞

[@deborahmichele]

Agree with all of these...except the mesh footwear; I'm still a big no on that. My takeaway is that the majority of these trends are geared toward the 20-something set. Embellished jeans? In my 20's? Heck yeah! (I SO lusted after Prince's pants with the buttons/studs down the side in his Little Red Corvette video!) But now, not so much. Same thing with the socks and flats (especially Mary Janes), but, (and I know you're not supposed to say this anymore), after 35 I'm sorry, but no, Lolita! And a sheer skirt is a peep show/advertising - as are underwear "shorts".

[@ANNAREID29]

Prince’s style was 😘😘😘😘

[@Carol-hg5os]

I agree…no socks with sandals!🤭

[@danamatsukawa4762]

Dang Anna! Embrace the socks! Seriously, I wish everyone would. That way I would fit in and never have to suffer through wearing sockless shoes again. Don't even talk about those torture devices called no show socks. There isn't a pair in the universe that will stay on my heals.

[@cynthb]

Gen X here - so many of these give me flashbacks to the 80s, with side orders of 70s and 90s. What's old is new again...

[@ashleiwhite9413]

I love how animated you are with your comments.

[@TheMary0831]

I'm 60 and there is no way I'm wearing socks with mary janes or ballet flats. But I think lots of older folks start wearing socks more because we are less warm as we get older. But some wear 'em with sandals - hahhahaha. BIG NO to that too.

[@tdhawk167]

Only in my home with my birky style sandals, and if persons accused me of this, I would vehemently deny it

[@luluandmeow]

Your hair looks great this length. I sometimes wear sheer black socks or metallic silver socks with my 40s style black suede platform shoes and sandals. It's a vintage look I copied from my grandma, she wore socks and sandals with a gorgeous 40s dress in the only photograph I have of her. I "hide" this combo a bit under bootleg jeans, so you see the socks and then you don't, I like subtle trends as I'm quite understated.

[@jeanniedanford]

I agree with all the things you mentioned. And for me personally, none of the chunky sandals/shoes make me feel beautiful and so I would not wear even though I am sure they are comfortable and that is one of my three "fashion words" or whatever the heck that's called :)

[@ANNAREID29]

Love this ❤️❤️

[@btd389]

Sorel sandals are definite what not to wear for me omg

Thank you!

[@eileencarroll6418]

My strongest feelings against a trend is awkwardness of ankle pants with a boot, baby boot, bell, baby bell, flare or kick flair cut. It just looks like a laundry accident. Narrow leg and straight leg cuts look ok at the ankle. Bells, flairs and boot cuts really need to break over the top of the foot. Wide, balloon and barrel cuts need to break across the top of the foot or the silhouette makes the wearer look stumpy. Wide leg shapes can also look good when enough of the thinner part of the leg shows to present the legs as long and lean. Lengthening shoe shapes and colors help too. Or it's a showcase to frame a quirky or statement shape or color. In 2023 I was surprised at how much I loved wide printed culottes and slim capris that were short enough. And at 66, I am starting to avoid shorts. My shocking "avoid" was not really a trend, but all of a sudden, I decided that I can't wear turtlenecks without additional layers. It must have been happening gradually but the distance between the top of a turtleneck and the bottom line of my boobs is way out of proportion to my overall height. SHOCKING. I feel like I need to declutter all my turtlenecks and mock necks in tops and dresses. I watched several videos featuring women over 60, 70 and 80, especially some featuring Ralph Lauren style. I did notice how v-necks, open collar blouses and shirts, v-shapes formed by blazers, wrap dresses and fabric draping and layers manipulate overall proportions to minimize the toll that gravity imposes on us all. Pendants on longish chains helped form a v-shape better than a shorter and heavier chain that made a more gradual swoop. Neck scarves not only warmed the neck in the absence of turtlenecks, but also added color, texture and vertical draping lines. There was a time in my life when I would wear a black turtleneck once a week. Now I don't wear black anymore either. I feel a little sad today goodbye to such a loved wardrobe classic, but they are no longer doing my real life current body any favors. I am not willing to sabotage myself anymore. Some items might get updated by converting the necklines to scoop necks or v-necks so only the neck goes to the landfill. Watching your channel has been so helpful with objectively evaluating how clothes make me look and feel. You are also helping me have the courage to try new things. And writing comments here helps me reinforce and internalize my thoughts. I feel like I am making more conscious choices about decluttering, buying and not buying. Thanks again. ❤️❤️❤️

[@LisaHShields]

Love this as always! Thanks Anna!

[@sarahstanton6603]

Those really large tote bags are editorial but definitely not realistic! I’m 5’2”… it would drag on the ground if I carried one 😆

Plus they always whisper to you: put some more junk inside me. And you end up wearing Ikea bag.

[@anakemple5698]

Black sheer socks under ankle length pants with a loafer, closed toe sling back, or ballet, and flats for warmth can look sheik.

Hi, Pam! ❤️

[@Bea-is1uc]

I'm 43 and can't wait to wear sheer pretty lace socks. I'm in the UK and still too cold here. Sheer clothing is great for layering. I think the sheer lace dresses are beautiful. If you have a fully sheer skirt you can always wear another short skirt over or under it.

[@jenn6692]

Embellished denim had its time but it’s not today 😂😂

Maybe every generation has to have their fun with it once 🤣

[@veronicacarmody115]

That dress is adorable! It takes me back to the 60’s, a mini shift. So cute. Super baggy jeans are not for me, I think they work best on teenage girls. The tiny shorts look best for young girls too, except what parent would let their daughter out in those? All great ideas, thanks Anna

[@Patricia-pq4jq]

I agree on the embellished jeans

I agree with the eight year old with the socks / sandals. As an adult never liked it n definitely won’t wear socks with sandals . Great video well won’t get rid of my last couple years of clothes. Don’t like anything I saw today 🤷‍♀️

[@melhauer2943]

I remember mesh shoes ever so briefly in the early aughts ... They were usually in a full array of colors and often had flower or butterfly embellishments ... Sometimes they were sold rolled up in a slip bag, long before Tieks did it ... I had a purple pair. This trend definitely doesn't work for anyone who actually needs some type of support in their shoes

[@blawless001]

So far, the only mesh like flats I've seen that I liked, were a pair of loafer type flats that were leather, but they were woven to look like caning in a chair. They were classy and gorgeous! I thought they looked like a mix between a loafer and a haurache. Great look

[@annali4066]

I totally agree that the embellish back pockets are outdated. But I purchased light wash jeans with a few silver/ sequins on the front, and they do not look cheap. Actually, they look high-end, and I wore them to an event with a pair of pointed silver kitten heels, and I received a lot of compliments. I think minimal and good fabric choices are key to your clothing not looking cheap. Thank you for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤

[@lucia3]

Great video! So many trends just give me the heebee-jeebies! When I see the mesh shoes I keep imagining the dirty feet after a day in the city or the sand and stones in your shoes when walking anywhere else, like the beach. They are right up there with crocs and jelly shoes. Just no! Let's keep it classy and stylish ladies and not something we will regret when we see a picture of what we were wearing in 20 years.
