Alright, so apparently tailored fits are suddenly outselling all that oversized stuff. Like, not just in New York or LA—my phone’s blowing up with stylists showing me receipts and half-bragging, “Look, fitted blazers are destroying drop-shoulders at these trunk shows, like three to one, no joke.” I mean, I guess we’re in the middle of […]

Can’t even open my closet anymore without smashing into some shirt splattered with graphics or those weirdly ironic florals—honestly, where did all my basics go? Prints are multiplying like rabbits, and my old black tee? Basically on the endangered species list. It’s not just me, either. Patternbank’s trend stuff keeps insisting every industry’s pushing this […]

So I’m doomscrolling TikTok at, like, 3 a.m.—don’t judge—and suddenly those “TikTok leggings” are everywhere, except, whoops, they’re gone. Sold out. Price is now $60+ and I’m sitting here wondering, was this always how stuff worked? My roommate’s hair clip? Used to be $12, now it’s $29, shipping in three weeks, all because it got […]

Okay, so half my friends are suddenly obsessed with these super plain leather belts—just boring buckles, nothing flashy, definitely no giant “H” like those awkward years ago, and now I keep seeing them freaking everywhere.

So, stripes on that button-down—am I the only one who’s just over maximalism? Patterns are everywhere. Bold geometrics and squiggly retro toiles are getting shoved at us by designers and “trend consultants.” Suddenly, you can’t even build a wardrobe unless you’ve got a fortress of basics to balance it all out. Pattern trends this year […]

Okay, so, apparently, I blinked and the world decided sleep patterns are a competitive sport now? Last month I was still bragging about my “night owl” status, eating chips at 2 a.m., and now suddenly everyone’s flexing their sleep tracker graphs like they’re designer sneakers. Honestly, sleeper patterns used to seem like one of those […]

Look, every time I think I’ve finally cracked the code—stick to neutrals, be safe with navy, don’t embarrass yourself—bam, here comes dusty olive or “warm taupe” and suddenly everyone’s buying shirts that look like they were cut from my grandma’s drapes. Soft pastels and these weirdly specific neutrals like taupe and dusty olive are supposed […]

So here’s what’s actually wild: I keep opening sales dashboards expecting to see those overpriced, overhyped designer pieces finally having their moment, but nope—everyone’s just grabbing plain denim shorts and basic tees. It’s not just my place; literally everywhere, even fashion editors are suddenly obsessed with high-street basics and cult staples. People don’t care about […]
