As an elder millennial, I’m genuinely perplexed by Gen Alpha fashion. Why are so many kids dressed like a Handmaid or Amish farmer? And rocking iPod Nanos? Are we just… fully ironic now? Fashion. People. What’s up?!

i'm literally drafting an article about this right now idk if it's irony per say or more of a harkening back to times that felt more stable and slow also the trends towards "old money", "quiet luxury", "cottagecore", "tradwife" style are all signifiers of a slip back towards conservative values + fast fashion allows people to try on and discard personas as they wish (essentially cosplaying), instead of figuring out how to express their own unique personality

The other weird thing is the 90s style coming back. I'm constantly having middle school flashbacks just walking around.

IMHO, fashion is about self expression. Some of us grew up learning about fashion by reading well curated magazines & observing thoughtfully styled looks. I used to read GQ magazine in high school lol … But the internet has pretty much wiped those magazines out. Add social media to the mix, and now we have a generation of people with no clear fashion identity. I was honestly horrified when I first started seeing people wearing pajama pants and Crocs in public; it’s become the norm for some. I remember when my daughter went to college she asked me why I didn’t wear sweatpants; I jokingly answered for the same reason I didn’t let her watch the Kardashains growing up 😂 Unfortunately in social media, it’s not the smartest voice that shapes trends, it’s the loudest. I could go on forever complaining about TikTok, but I’ll stop here.

One of my high schoolers is obsessed with old tech and vintage everything. He’s the vinyl collector and wants a ‘classic’ car when he gets his license. He also wants an old iPod. I’m like sir. You don’t have music to put on that. It doesn’t work how you think it works 😂 Now the Amish farmer and handmaid attire. I have not seen that yet 😂
