When I m recording this, 2023 is almost over.
0
SPEAKER_00
And in some ways, thank God.
0
SPEAKER_00
And in some ways, oh no.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m getting to the age where getting another year older is starting to become daunting.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like when I was younger, I was excited to get older.
0
SPEAKER_00
I was like, the older I am, the more independence I have, the cooler I ll feel.
0
SPEAKER_00
This is amazing.
0
SPEAKER_00
And now getting older has a little bit more weight to it.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m turning 23 this year and 23 sort of feels like 25.
0
SPEAKER_00
And 25 is getting pretty close to 30.
0
SPEAKER_00
There are going to be a lot of life changes for me in the next few years.
0
SPEAKER_00
And the new year is sort of reminding me of that.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s this rude awakening that the clock is ticking.
0
SPEAKER_00
And on top of that, I feel like time is just moving so much faster the older I get.
0
SPEAKER_00
I feel like New Year s Eve 2022 was six months ago.
0
SPEAKER_00
No, it was a year ago.
0
SPEAKER_00
Time is moving really fast.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I m going to be totally old soon, but that s totally fine because I don t know.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think my happiest years are yet to come.
0
SPEAKER_00
So that s at least a silver lining.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
0
SPEAKER_00
For some reason, I m already having an existential crisis about the new year.
0
SPEAKER_00
I can t do new year s resolutions this year.
0
SPEAKER_00
I just can t.
0
SPEAKER_00
I can t.
0
SPEAKER_00
I almost just need to pretend like it s not a new year.
0
SPEAKER_00
That s my vibe this year.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s like, nope, it s just another day.
0
SPEAKER_00
Because I don t want to think about how quickly time is moving.
0
SPEAKER_00
But do you know what I do have the mental bandwidth to do?
0
SPEAKER_00
Talk about fashion.
0
SPEAKER_00
In an honor of us approaching 2024, I thought I would predict some fashion trends for 2024.
0
SPEAKER_00
I m going to share what I think is going to be trending in 2024.
0
SPEAKER_00
Now, I will say it is harder to pinpoint trends nowadays because we re so exposed to various niches and aesthetics through the internet and trends just don t feel as universal as they used to pre-internet.
0
SPEAKER_00
I assume because I wasn t alive really before the internet, but
0
SPEAKER_00
Despite how messy and overwhelming the fashion world is today because of the internet, there still are trends that you can pinpoint.
0
SPEAKER_00
For example, in 2023, we had ballet core.
0
SPEAKER_00
People were wearing little ballet slippers, little leg warmers, little leotards.
0
SPEAKER_00
You know what I m talking about.
0
SPEAKER_00
There were ribbons, you know, like ballet-esque sort of pink ribbons happening.
0
SPEAKER_00
Balletcore definitely happened in 2023.
0
SPEAKER_00
There was the quiet luxury stealth wealth trend, which was pretty much just basic clothing, okay?
0
SPEAKER_00
Like simple, minimal designs, classic, timeless pieces.
0
SPEAKER_00
that are classy have always sort of been somewhere in the zeitgeist.
0
SPEAKER_00
But this sort of style became very trendy in 2023.
0
SPEAKER_00
A lot of people, especially celebrities, were really gravitating towards that sort of aesthetic.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I ll be honest, I hate
0
SPEAKER_00
calling that aesthetic stealth wealth, quiet luxury, old money aesthetic.
0
SPEAKER_00
I hate it because you can accomplish that aesthetic for so cheap.
0
SPEAKER_00
You can go to a thrift store and buy everything you could possibly need for that aesthetic.
0
SPEAKER_00
Go get a simple button down, a pair of khakis, a pair of simple, well fitting jeans, a pair of old loafers,
0
SPEAKER_00
a few nice sweaters, you can get all of that from the thrift store for like 30 bucks.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t like how it s being associated with wealth, though I understand it in a way because prior to this being a trend, designer clothing, expensive clothing, was mainly very loud.
0
SPEAKER_00
Lots of logos, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
0
SPEAKER_00
That was the trend.
0
SPEAKER_00
Now it s all about wearing designer clothes, but it not being obvious.
0
SPEAKER_00
In a way, I sort of appreciate that sentiment too, but I guess my issue with the name of the trend is that it sort of excludes people.
0
SPEAKER_00
who can t spend $500 on a button up like most people can t.
0
SPEAKER_00
So that s so exclusionary.
0
SPEAKER_00
It s unfair to me.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like it paints this picture that only wealthy people can participate in this trend.
0
SPEAKER_00
And I just, I fucking hate that.
0
SPEAKER_00
So anyway, I went off on a tangent.
0
SPEAKER_00
What else did we have in 2023?
0
SPEAKER_00
Oh,
0
SPEAKER_00
Sort of a soccer, or if you don t live in America, football aesthetic.
0
SPEAKER_00
A lot of people were wearing soccer jerseys and soccer shoes, like the Adidas Samba was the shoe of the year, I would say.
0
SPEAKER_00
That s sort of a soccer shoe.
0
SPEAKER_00
And so many people were wearing soccer jerseys.
0
SPEAKER_00
It was like all the rage.
0
SPEAKER_00
So all of that to say, you know, yes, it is harder these days to pinpoint what the trends are, but in retrospect, there still definitely are trends happening.
0
SPEAKER_00
You know, it s not like a complete mess where it s like everything is happening all at once.
0
SPEAKER_00
We can t put a finger on one thing.
0
SPEAKER_00
So here are my 2024 fashion predictions.
0
SPEAKER_00
These predictions are based on things that I ve seen on the runway over the past few months and gut feelings that I have.
0
SPEAKER_00
My predictions are somewhat rooted in reality because I m kind of seeing what s on the runway and the runway tends to predict what s gonna happen in the world, but I m mainly going off of gut feeling, okay?
0
SPEAKER_00
And I m probably gonna be wrong about everything.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t know, maybe not, maybe not.
0
SPEAKER_00
So we ll see.
0
SPEAKER_00
Okay, to start, 2010 Abercrombie and Fitch aesthetic.
0
SPEAKER_00
I think it s gonna come back.
0
SPEAKER_00
I lived through this time, okay?
0
SPEAKER_00
I remember what everybody was wearing, okay?
0
SPEAKER_00
It was skinny jeans, low-waisted, button-up sort of polo shirts.
0
SPEAKER_00
Everything was really fitted.
0
SPEAKER_00
There was definitely some preppiness going on, you know, the collared shirt, little preppy, khaki sort of skirts.
0
SPEAKER_00
very much a New England vibe, a East Coast sort of vibe, like upstate New York vibes.
0
SPEAKER_00
You know, the jackets had these like big buttons and sometimes were lined with fur.
0
SPEAKER_00
I feel like the Abercrombie and Fitch aesthetic from 2010 combined preppiness with outdoorsyness in a way that felt completely impractical.
0
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like Abercrombie and Fitch is not like Carhartt in the way that Carhartt is actually outdoorsy.
0
SPEAKER_00
Abercrombie is not fully preppy.
0
SPEAKER_00
There are skinny jeans, there are mini skirts, there are short shorts, but there are also polo shirts and sweaters.
0
SPEAKER_00
I really think that the entire vibe of Abercrombie and Fitch in 2010 is gonna come back now.
0
SPEAKER_00
Okay, I predict fitted collared shirts
0
SPEAKER_00
I could even kind of see skinny jeans.
0
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like I feel like we re due for skinny jeans to come back and Abercrombie really loved the skinny jean.
0
SPEAKER_00
I could see like tight jeans that have sort of a little bootcut flare coming back.
0
SPEAKER_00
Both of these types of jeans being low waisted at the highest mid waisted Abercrombie did a lot of mini
0
SPEAKER_00
denim shorts, like super short denim shorts.
0
SPEAKER_00
I could see those coming back too.
0
SPEAKER_00
Abercrombie tended to stick to a very nautical, outdoorsy, preppy color palette.
0
SPEAKER_00
navy blue, white, dark green, dark gray, etc.
0
SPEAKER_00
You know, I could see that sort of happening.
0
SPEAKER_00
I feel like Abercrombie & Fitch was sort of a romanticized version of living in a preppy place like Connecticut.
0
SPEAKER_00
You know, imagine you re just growing up next to a lake and you go to this prep school down the road.
0
SPEAKER_00
And so you wear your collared shirt and your skinny jeans and your little boat shoes.
0
SPEAKER_00
with your little sweater and you go out and take a walk by the lake and then afterwards you go and, I don t know, like ride a horse or something and then after that you go to bed and then the next morning you wake up and you put on your cute little collared shirt again and you put on your little skirt and your little boat shoes and you go to school.
0
SPEAKER_00
Like, do you know what I m saying?
0
SPEAKER_00
It s that sort of fantasy.
0
SPEAKER_00
I just, I feel that coming back.
0
SPEAKER_00
I really, really realized that this was coming
1
SPEAKER_00
back when I went to the Spring 2024 Ready to Wear Miu Miu show.
1
SPEAKER_00
Go check out that collection if you want to see proof that I think that this is coming back.
1
SPEAKER_00
If Miu Miu is doing this, it must be coming back.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, it s like this preppy
1
SPEAKER_00
meets outdoorsy fantasy, because it s not fully functional.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s definitely an aesthetic.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay, next trend is sort of similar.
1
SPEAKER_00
So be patient with me, because you re going to be like, Emma, you re a broken record.
1
SPEAKER_00
Yeah, we have other stuff to talk about, but that comes later.
1
SPEAKER_00
Next trend, sailor.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m talking about someone who sails a boat, a sailor.
1
SPEAKER_00
People are gonna be ripping off that style, or not ripping off, but copying that style.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay, a classic sailor s uniform is white pants, white sort of button-up top,
1
SPEAKER_00
Maybe with some navy blue details, like a navy blue handkerchief around the neck, and then a classic sailor s hat, which is like a round sort of cap that has sort of a lip at the front of it.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s usually white, although, you know, they come in various colors.
1
SPEAKER_00
And then of course, boat shoes.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay, boat shoes, I m not kidding, like Sperry s.
1
SPEAKER_00
I swear they re going to be in in 2024.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I m not going to lie, I m going to get a pair because I forgot about boat shoes.
1
SPEAKER_00
And then my dad and I were talking one day, randomly,
1
SPEAKER_00
about what I wore in high school.
1
SPEAKER_00
And boat shoes were kind of trendy in high school.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like a few kids had boat shoes and were wearing them around.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I was like, I want boat shoes.
1
SPEAKER_00
So I got boat shoes and I wore them a little bit in high school.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I said to my dad, I m kind of bummed out that I donated those actually.
1
SPEAKER_00
I said, now that we re discussing them again, I m realizing how cool they are and how classic they are.
1
SPEAKER_00
And then my dad was like, is anyone wearing boat shoes right now?
1
SPEAKER_00
And I was like, honestly, no.
1
SPEAKER_00
No, like no one s wearing boat shoes.
1
SPEAKER_00
Fast forward two months later, I go to the Miu Miu show, the same one that I just referenced earlier.
1
SPEAKER_00
They re wearing boat shoes.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I was like, stop this right now.
1
SPEAKER_00
Stop this right now.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s happening.
1
SPEAKER_00
Boat shoes are going to be back.
1
SPEAKER_00
The classic brown boat shoe with the little brown lace on top.
1
SPEAKER_00
It s going to happen.
1
SPEAKER_00
Just mark my words.
1
SPEAKER_00
I just really see people finding inspiration in the classic sailor uniform that we all know and love.
1
SPEAKER_00
Obviously, there s the boat shoe.
1
SPEAKER_00
We already covered that.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think people are going to be copying more than that, though.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, a lot of times sailor outfits are all white with little pops of navy or little pops of red.
1
SPEAKER_00
I could see that coming back.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, lots of stripes, like navy blue and white stripes, little pins and stuff on jackets and hats.
1
SPEAKER_00
I feel like sailors always have little pins on their jacket.
1
SPEAKER_00
And even beyond that, just nautical themes in general, like sweaters that have anchors on them or fishes on them, quilted-looking fabrics that have sort of a beach scene on them.
1
SPEAKER_00
I just think nautical in general is going to come back, but more specifically, sailor aesthetic.
1
SPEAKER_00
All right, this one might be a reach, but hear me out.
1
SPEAKER_00
We have the French artist aesthetic.
1
SPEAKER_00
Let me explain what this is when I imagine it in my head.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
1
SPEAKER_00
I picture boxy sort of comfortable pants in neutral colors, black khaki denim, maybe like sort of a,
1
SPEAKER_00
classic denim, like a classic blue.
1
SPEAKER_00
I picture a black and white striped top.
1
SPEAKER_00
I picture a little beret.
1
SPEAKER_00
I picture loafers or ballet flats, but not like a ballet flat that actually looks like it would be worn for ballet, like no pink satin.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m talking about just a flat black or maybe red shoe.
1
SPEAKER_00
I really think that this is going to come back.
1
SPEAKER_00
Specifically, black and white stripes.
1
SPEAKER_00
Horizontal.
1
SPEAKER_00
Horizontal black and white stripes.
1
SPEAKER_00
I feel like that is going to come back in a big way.
1
SPEAKER_00
I feel like that is going to be the pattern of the year.
1
SPEAKER_00
Actually, that s a huge statement.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don t know if I want to make that statement, actually.
1
SPEAKER_00
Now I m getting nervous.
1
SPEAKER_00
But I really think that black and white stripes are going to come back and be a very popular, popular, popular pattern.
1
SPEAKER_00
Because obviously, horizontal black and white stripes are always somewhat in, you know?
1
SPEAKER_00
It s a very classic pattern, but I can see it being like the pattern for a moment.
1
SPEAKER_00
And the cute little French beret hat with the little thing sticking up, the little boop sticking up at the top.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think berets are underrated, actually.
1
SPEAKER_00
I just got a few of them because I realized that
1
SPEAKER_00
They are deeply underrated.
1
SPEAKER_00
They re so cool looking.
1
SPEAKER_00
They add so much personality to an outfit.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I don t know, I really like them.
1
SPEAKER_00
And maybe even with the pants, pants that have like paint stains on them and stuff.
1
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
1
SPEAKER_00
I can see it.
1
SPEAKER_00
We ll see.
1
SPEAKER_00
We ll see if it happens.
1
SPEAKER_00
But the French artist aesthetic might be hot this year.
1
SPEAKER_00
And if it is, I fucking told you so.
1
SPEAKER_00
And if it s not, forget I said anything.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay, next, I m seeing vampire comeback.
1
SPEAKER_00
And I feel like we ve already sort of seen the vampire kind of aesthetic comeback, but I think it s gonna get even stronger in 2024.
1
SPEAKER_00
When I think of sort of a Count Dracula-esque look, I think of black clothes, maybe with some pops of white, maybe with some pops of maroon or dark red.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think of suiting, you know, like black and white suiting.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think of lace.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think of
1
SPEAKER_00
triangular shapes, okay?
1
SPEAKER_00
So like, for example, maybe it s a tight leather vest that has little points.
1
SPEAKER_00
When I think of Dracula-esque fashion, I think of sharp points, pointy clothes.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think of dramatic trench coats.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think of a sleek black heel.
1
SPEAKER_00
You know, maybe I even think of, I don t know.
1
SPEAKER_00
I just think the vampy vibe is going to be happening.
1
SPEAKER_00
I feel like lace hasn t been super popular necessarily over the past year.
1
SPEAKER_00
Maybe I m missing something, but I haven t seen a lot of lace.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think lace is going to come back in a big way.
1
SPEAKER_00
Lace everything.
1
SPEAKER_00
Not lace everything, but people who are into this sort of Dracula aesthetic will definitely be wearing a lot of lace.
1
SPEAKER_00
I can imagine people wearing clothes that have like a skeleton on it, you know?
1
SPEAKER_00
Like I feel like that fits into this vampire core as well.
1
SPEAKER_00
Imagine a shirt that looks like it s an x-ray and it can see through to your ribs and stuff.
1
SPEAKER_00
I think that s going to be really trendy.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like clothes that have a skeleton sort of printed on it.
1
SPEAKER_00
I actually just bought a shirt like that.
1
SPEAKER_00
Actually, I bought two shirts like that.
1
SPEAKER_00
Oh my God.
1
SPEAKER_00
Wow.
1
SPEAKER_00
See, like,
1
SPEAKER_00
I can t tell what came first, you know, the chicken or the egg.
1
SPEAKER_00
Like, did I buy those just because I like them and now I m saying that I think it s going to be a trend because I like them?
1
SPEAKER_00
Or is it starting and I m just on the bandwagon without even realizing it?
1
SPEAKER_00
I don t know.
1
SPEAKER_00
But I do think that that s going to be a big part of that trend.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay, so next one is a complete random guess.
1
SPEAKER_00
I mean, I guess it s not a complete random guess, but I m definitely winging it with this one, okay?
1
SPEAKER_00
But hear me out.
1
SPEAKER_00
Over the past few years, we ve had many trends based on sports, okay?
1
SPEAKER_00
There was sort of the soccer core happening, which was the soccer jerseys, the Adidas Sambas.
1
SPEAKER_00
There was ballet core.
1
SPEAKER_00
The whole theme was like the ballet slippers, the leotards, the leg warmers, the bows.
1
SPEAKER_00
What s next?
1
SPEAKER_00
There has to be another sport that has its moment in 2024.
1
SPEAKER_00
I have a few guesses.
1
SPEAKER_00
Number one, race car driving aesthetic.
1
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m talking about race car jackets.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m talking about super sporty glasses.
1
SPEAKER_00
I m talking about, you know, tight sort of jumpsuit.
2
SPEAKER_00
looking outfits.
2
SPEAKER_00
This sort of happened already in like 2015.
2
SPEAKER_00
It might be too soon for it to come back, but I think it might come back.
2
SPEAKER_00
If it s not that, I could sort of see it being hockey too though.
2
SPEAKER_00
You know, the classic hockey jersey coming back in with the sort of zigzag laces on the neck.
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t know though, there s not really a lot to do with that.
2
SPEAKER_00
There s not a lot to rip off from hockey, so I m not sure.
2
SPEAKER_00
It could be baseball.
2
SPEAKER_00
Baseball core?
2
SPEAKER_00
Am I losing my mind?
2
SPEAKER_00
Honestly, baseball jerseys are really cute.
2
SPEAKER_00
I m not opposed to referencing a baseball jersey.
2
SPEAKER_00
You know, the capri pants, super tight, the short sleeve button up top.
2
SPEAKER_00
Baseball, it could be baseball.
2
SPEAKER_00
But what if it s like ice skating?
2
SPEAKER_00
It could be ice skating.
2
SPEAKER_00
That s kind of not, that s kind of too similar to ballet core though.
2
SPEAKER_00
Hmm, I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_00
But I do think that a sport is going to have its moment.
2
SPEAKER_00
I just don t know what sport it is.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like, I don t think it would be football.
2
SPEAKER_00
I also really don t see it being basketball.
2
SPEAKER_00
That just does not, it just, it s not, I don t think so.
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t see that happening.
2
SPEAKER_00
Tennis already happened.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like 2021, 2022, if I remember correctly, a lot of people were into the tennis aesthetic.
2
SPEAKER_00
I love the tennis aesthetic.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think it s very cute.
2
SPEAKER_00
But I think that that s over for now.
2
SPEAKER_00
That s sort of already happened.
2
SPEAKER_00
Could it be wrestling?
2
SPEAKER_00
No.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like what s, what is, there s really not a lot to pull from that either.
2
SPEAKER_00
So I don t know.
2
SPEAKER_00
We will see.
2
SPEAKER_00
We will see what sport ends up being trendy all of a sudden.
2
SPEAKER_00
Okay, next trend has already sort of been happening in 2023, but I think it s going to get really, really strong in 2024, like even stronger than it is now.
2
SPEAKER_00
sort of the 90s minimalism vibe.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like not minimalism in the sense that the people wearing this style only have two shirts and two pants in their closet, meaning they re living a minimalist lifestyle, but rather minimalist design, simple designs, simple colors, you know, a gray pair of slacks with a black turtleneck.
2
SPEAKER_00
a long black skirt with a button up top and a black sweater on top.
2
SPEAKER_00
You know what I m saying?
2
SPEAKER_00
Like simple accessories, a little pair of glasses, nothing big, extreme, super spicy, simple, white tank top and blue jeans, like just super simple.
2
SPEAKER_00
I feel like the color palette is black, dark gray, maybe light blue, denim,
2
SPEAKER_00
white, maybe maroon, maybe, but that s sort of the color palette.
2
SPEAKER_00
Little sporty, small frames, glasses, a simple loafer, or a simple boot.
2
SPEAKER_00
Everything s sort of understated.
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t know, I think that that s gonna continue.
2
SPEAKER_00
Speaking of trends that I think are gonna continue, I also think the sort of stealth, wealth, quiet, luxury trend is going to continue, and you know how I feel about that, okay?
2
SPEAKER_00
I already went through that, so I don t need to go through it again.
2
SPEAKER_00
But I think just minimal designs in general are going to continue in 2024.
2
SPEAKER_00
I think there s a lot of fatigue in fashion because of the internet.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I think that that s why a lot of people are reverting to more minimal designs, more timeless designs, less loud designs, because
2
SPEAKER_00
more loud, overtly trendy things get old a lot quicker.
2
SPEAKER_00
And we re being exposed to a lot at all times.
2
SPEAKER_00
So I think the desire for simplicity is going to continue for probably the next few years, to be honest.
2
SPEAKER_00
And it s already happening, but I think it s just going to continue to happen.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I d say the 90s minimalism vibe and the stealth, wealth, quiet luxury vibe are just two versions of that.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I m not mad because I could wear dress pants and loafers and button-ups and sweaters and cute little glasses all day long.
2
SPEAKER_00
I love that.
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t necessarily like wearing that all the time, but it s definitely a vibe that I go for quite frequently because it s simple, it s effective, it s timeless, and it makes me feel good, you know?
2
SPEAKER_00
I tend to dress that way when I don t want my outfit to overpower me.
2
SPEAKER_00
I want to be the star.
2
SPEAKER_00
I don t want my outfit to be the star.
2
SPEAKER_00
I want to be the star.
2
SPEAKER_00
Okay, now completely opposite to that, I also think that funny slash ironic clothing will continue to be trendy.

Now, there s always humor somewhere in fashion.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like, there s always someone doing fashion in a funny or ironic or weird way, but I think it s going to continue.
2
SPEAKER_00
Last season, when I went to the Acne Studios runway show, I remember one of the models walked out and was wearing this white t-shirt with a red bra on top of the shirt, okay?
2
SPEAKER_00
And that was one of the looks.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I was like, wait, whoa, interesting.
2
SPEAKER_00
And then fast forward to like a few days ago, I m shopping at this great shop in LA and there s a skirt that has a pair of underwear sewed onto the outside of the skirt.
2
SPEAKER_00
So when you re wearing the skirt, it just looks like there s a pair of underwear like slapped on the front.
2
SPEAKER_00
See, now that s silly.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I think that that s a great example of how brands are going to try to be funny and ironic in 2024.
2
SPEAKER_00
Exposed undergarments, I think that s going to be pretty big this year.
2
SPEAKER_00
But beyond that, I think we can rest assured that brands are going to do the classic silly things that they do.
2
SPEAKER_00
You know, whether that s putting a funny graphic or a funny text on a shirt, or that s
2
SPEAKER_00
Making a bag that looks like a banana or that s creating a pair of sunglasses that cover like half of your face or that s.
2
SPEAKER_00
Making shoes that are pants, like making a pair of pants that has shoes connected to it.
2
SPEAKER_00
So it s like your shoes and pants are connected.
2
SPEAKER_00
Like it s all one piece.
2
SPEAKER_00
Things that are sort of extreme, ironic, funny.
2
SPEAKER_00
I mean, there s always some of that happening somewhere.
2
SPEAKER_00
But I think it s going to continue and even become more of a thing in 2024 because in 2023 we saw some brands have a lot of success by coming out with products like that.
2
SPEAKER_00
For example, there were these big red boots in 2023, they were called the mischief boots and they looked like little cartoon boots.
2
SPEAKER_00
They were these huge, huge red boots.
2
SPEAKER_00
They were like hideous and dumb and funny.
2
SPEAKER_00
And so many celebrities were wearing them and they were all over the news.
2
SPEAKER_00
They re all over whatever.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s incredible for marketing.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I think in 2023, we saw a few brands, that one that I just mentioned being a great example, utilizing insane products that are ridiculous.
2
SPEAKER_00
to market their brand, you know, get attention.
2
SPEAKER_00
And so I think there s going to be more of that in 2024, like even more than there was in 2023.
2
SPEAKER_00
You know, it s a game nowadays for, for companies to win the attention of the internet.
2
SPEAKER_00
And it s very hard to do because there s a lot of entertaining shit on the internet.
2
SPEAKER_00
And so I think a lot of brands are going to throw
2
SPEAKER_00
a bunch of crazy ideas at the wall to see what will stick and what will go viral.
2
SPEAKER_00
And as a result, there s just going to be more silly, goofy, borderline gimmicky pieces out there.
2
SPEAKER_00
And I think some of them are fun.
2
SPEAKER_00
If it s something that you can truly wear on a consistent basis, great.
2
SPEAKER_00
Maybe it s something to buy, even if it s a little gimmicky.
2
SPEAKER_00
Sometimes gimmicky things actually can be timeless.
2
SPEAKER_00
It s very rare.
2
SPEAKER_00
But I think what distinguishes a gimmicky piece that s just gimmicky and a gimmicky piece that actually is a good purchase is whether or not it s usable.
2
SPEAKER_00
Can you use it?
2
SPEAKER_00
Can you wear it?
2
SPEAKER_00
If it s something you can t actually wear, then it s just a gimmick and it s a waste of money.
2
SPEAKER_00
But if it s something you can actually wear and it s something that you genuinely enjoy and think is amusing and funny, then great.
2
SPEAKER_00
Another thing I ve been seeing on the runway that s been shocking to me
2
SPEAKER_00
is super, super high-waisted pants.
3
SPEAKER_00
skirts, shorts, et cetera.
3
SPEAKER_00
I m talking about super high-waisted, like up to the rib cage, okay?
3
SPEAKER_00
I ve seen these types of pants paired with bra-like tops.
3
SPEAKER_00
I ve seen these pants paired with shirts just simply tucked in.
3
SPEAKER_00
But I ve seen it on multiple runways, and that is a sign to me that it s coming.
3
SPEAKER_00
Super, extremely high-waisted pants.
3
SPEAKER_00
I personally will probably not participate in this trend.
3
SPEAKER_00
I really do not like how it looks on me.
3
SPEAKER_00
I don t have a very long torso to begin with.
3
SPEAKER_00
I really don t need it to look any shorter.
3
SPEAKER_00
You know what I m saying?
3
SPEAKER_00
But you never know.
3
SPEAKER_00
I might try something on and be like, this is great.
3
SPEAKER_00
I love this.
3
SPEAKER_00
This actually works really well for me.
3
SPEAKER_00
The thing is, these super, super high-waisted pants are not like normal high-waisted pants that cut off right at your waist, right at the middle of your waist.
3
SPEAKER_00
they go a little bit too high on purpose.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s sort of an awkward design.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like it looks awkward on, but I think that s sort of the point.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like, you know, sometimes we wear clothes because they give off a certain feeling and that s the number one priority.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like they give off this certain feeling and that s all we care about.
3
SPEAKER_00
I feel like that s what these pants are for.
3
SPEAKER_00
These pants are not necessarily meant to be flattering in a way.
3
SPEAKER_00
They re meant to have personality.
3
SPEAKER_00
And last but not least, I predict clothes that are very handy.
3
SPEAKER_00
Okay.
3
SPEAKER_00
We re talking about pants that have a bunch of pockets on them.
3
SPEAKER_00
We re talking about a pair of boots that has a pocket in it.
3
SPEAKER_00
We re talking about a shirt that has a bunch of pockets in it.
3
SPEAKER_00
Clothes that are really useful.
3
SPEAKER_00
You see what I m saying?
3
SPEAKER_00
Useful in the sense that you can put a bunch of shit in your clothes, not actually poop, okay?
3
SPEAKER_00
But I mean, you can put your belongings into pockets on your clothes.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think that s what takes clothing from being functional to really functional.
3
SPEAKER_00
It s like, whoa, there s a place to put my keys, there s a place to put my phone, there s a place to put this, there s a place to put my snack, there s a place to put that.
3
SPEAKER_00
Like, I don t know, I just can see that being a trend.
3
SPEAKER_00
And whether or not the little pockets are always useful is almost irrelevant because I think it s gonna be more of a style thing than it is actually a functional thing, if that makes sense.
3
SPEAKER_00
This is very much utilitarian, you know, workwear, sturdy fabric, comfy, boxy silhouettes, lots of pockets, maybe even too many pockets.
3
SPEAKER_00
I think that s going to be happening in 2024.
3
SPEAKER_00
And that s all I got, okay?
3
SPEAKER_00
That is all I have.
3
SPEAKER_00
We ll see if I m right or wrong.
3
SPEAKER_00

3
SPEAKER_00

3

3
SPEAKER_00
I am so excited to see.
3
SPEAKER_00
That s like the one thing I m excited about for the new year is like, what is going to be trendy?
3
SPEAKER_00
No, I mean, I m excited for other things, too, but I don t know.
3
SPEAKER_00
There s just something so amusing about seeing what a new year brings in fashion.
3
SPEAKER_00
So we shall see.
3
SPEAKER_00
That s all I have for today.
