I hate fashion with a... probably pathetic amount of vitriol

I dont understand it and it drives me insane to listen to people talk about it

Still though!!! I hold out this hope that if i keep looking at it i will understand and improve myself. i follow several fashion youtubers. all but one are vintage fashion, which i understand because thats like... basically period dress. they will get really intensely upset about mixing up style (people didnt wear that in the 40s thats a 60s invention and THAT is a 20s invention and no woman of the time period would EVER wear something so old)

And i dont really understand the anger there because it looks pretty and someone NOW is mixing those things so maybe someone THEN would do it, but i do understand wanting things to be historically accurate

But i started following modern fashion youtubers now and im fucking BAFFLED. 

How the fuck does fashion even work?? How do things go in and out of fashion? This girl was talking (clearly with a lot of knowledge and love) about early 2000s trends coming back into style, things i am pretty sure we all look back on and see as tacky (whale tails, low rise jeans, etc) and how they are coming back into fashion??

1. if they were good then why did they fall out of fashion?

2. if they were bad, why are they back in?

It reminded me of the Ugg boot trend. Pretty much the only trendy thing i ever have owned, the only NICE thing ive ever owned, were knockoff ugg boots that were visually identical to the real thing. They were soft, they were warm, they were comfortable, i wore them every day for like 6 months until they ripped in half. Couldnt buy new ones! because they were out of style now. Why did they go out of style?? They were GOOD and anyone could wear them!

I remember during the ‘lowrise jeans with tube tops’ era i was 14 and too chubby for low rise jeans and too busty for tube tops and the fashion clearly only worked for people with person trainers, so i would guess it fell out of fashion because since stores stopped selling normal jeans too many people who did not look good in low rise jeans ruined it for everyone and it became tacky? then WHY ARE THEY COMING BACK. the youtube girl literally said ‘buy high rise jeans while they are still available’. WHY?? everyone i knew fuckign HATED low rise jeans, they only look good on the super thin and 75% of america is fat, and culturally we decided they are tacky, WHY WOULD THEY COME BACK

Slight digression, same topic. Was looking through her style analysis videos of movies. ‘this person is visually unfashionable because her clothes are ill-fitted. technically the outfit actually works, its a nice one, but because it is ill fitted it is ugly’. But then in the same video she shows all these super oversized outfits on models and says that they can also be fashionable. WHICH IS IT? how does one buy oversized clothes and have them be fashionable instead of ill fitted? How do you well-fit OVERSIZED CLOTHES? 

My initial thought, what ive believed my whole life, is that the difference between fashionable and unfashionable is being skinny and hot, but the characters in the movies she's talking about are like, fucking Anne Hathoway, so what the hell is happening here, i do not UNDERSTAND what do you WANT!?? And none of the videos have anyone above a size 6 so when shes talking about ‘achieving a modern silhouette’ or a ‘90s silhouette’ like what the fuck is she TALKING ABOUT? i dont understand your alien language! None of this stuff appears to even be POSSIBLE if you have a different body type so what does this mean for everyone else??

One last thing. in the most recent video i watched she said ‘haltertops are comign back into fashion, i think they are wonderful, they are so versatile etc etc, i believe everyone should own at least one haltertop’ i have never in my entire life been halter-top shaped, not since i was 7 years old with and eating disorder, its not gonna fucking happen, and the 95% of your style inspo pictures, your ‘this looks great’ and ‘look how many ways it can be styled’ pictures, they are ALWAYS fucking tiny.
