Just when I thought fashion trends had reached the literal bottom of all trends with the all-day leggings trend that stays on from the gym to changing tops for lunch and dressier tops for dinner! Now we have the fall out of bed in PJ bottoms and shrunk tank top and out the door! For me, the plaid PJ bottoms that don’t match on seams are THE WORST!
Even Chanel has joined this casual trend that @KrisJenner has endorsed. Jenner was spotted wearing the colorful two-piece set, which features splashy purple, blue and pink flowers, and the famous double-C logo while stepping out for Paris Fashion Week. She wore the round-necked Embroidered Printed Neoprene Jacket buttoned up, while she showed off matching shoes in the same print, which peeked out below the wide hem of her matching pants.

But, I must be getting old as my granddaughter gave me a very dirty look when I voiced my opinion on this over-casual trend. On these models the style doesn’t really look as bad as my daily views of this overly casual trend. Many who do choose to adopt this trend should really get some styling advice from an expert to see the most advantageous way to wear this overly casual style. I have lived through wearing miniskirts, hotpants, wide puffed-up shoulders and each trend had their own draw backs. These days you can wear whatever you feel comfortable wearing as today’s trends are much more a casual choice and for the most part, good and bad you can merchandise yourself in your own stylish manor to create your own fashion trend! This also means that vintage is also incorporated into styles.
All this means that there are no real trends that are being dictated and faithfully followed as years past, besides these stylish PJ’s. This and other changes have resulted in the collapse of many brands and brick and mortar stores. Buying online direct from brands has also impacted the bricks and mortar stores who are scrambling to recreate and adjust to these evolving industry trends and challenges. For the buyer it is a positive change as buying direct from a brand cuts the normal retail mark up of 120%.
But the good news is that second hand and vintage are good stories for the recycled and upcycle sustainable trend. Bottom line is that we can choose to wear whatever we feel like wearing each day.
70’s Hot Pants and 60’s Mini dress. Both could and are being worn today.
