Let’s be honest with ourselves: celebrities and social media have a huge influence on our lives. They popularize food recipes, exercise routines and, in this case, our wardrobe. Scrolling through Tik Tok, you might be surprised to see certain trends making a comeback, and we can thank celebrities for that. However, I believe that not everything a celebrity wears deserves to be brought back into fashion or published for fans to recreate and match their look.
Over the past year, we’ve seen celebs like Bella Hadid and Hailey Beiber wearing cargo pants, a staple of the early 2000s. Before they were all over Pinterest and Instagram feeds, though, you wouldn’t have gotten me. me or any other fashion-obsessed person wearing such an atrocious item of clothing, and if you had, you might associate them with Kim Possible (or maybe it was just me).

Why let a celebrity decide what you wear when you can set a style that catches your eye? Choose your own style and find clothes that make you feel unique and cool. ”

According to an article in Fashion“Until recently, pants were associated with flamboyant tourist attire or the polarizing aesthetic of the 2000s.”
Although cargo pants are now considered trendy and comfortable, teens wouldn’t wear them without some celebrity influence, considering no one wore them a year ago. Cargo pants fell out of fashion in the early 2000s when celebrities stopped wearing them. However, the moment they start wearing them again, they are suddenly all the rage.

With the meaning of “cool clothes” changing in the blink of an eye, it can be a struggle, especially for teens and young adults, to find clothes that they really like, and clothes that truly represent you and your real style. not just Hailey Beiber’s. fashion taste
But clothes are not the only thing that celebrities have us wrapped between their fingers. What is an outfit without sneakers? Specifically, the brand new balance. What was once a standard pair of dad sneakers, like the new Balance 550, can be purchased at FootLocker for $80; now you need to track them down on sites like StockX and buy them for triple the pricealthough they are exactly the same shoe. There is still nothing special about them today than there was six months ago, other than that they are trending on Pinterest. Many shoe websites, including Goat, they are retailing these shoes for $350, because celebrities are putting them in high demand. They describe the shoes as “a low-key silhouette.” But how can such expensive sneakers for a basic pair of tennis be considered low-key?
Although everyone has their own style preferences, many people can agree that a celebrity or social media persuaded them to buy something, even if they don’t like the item. Why let a celebrity decide what you wear when you can set a style that catches your eye? Choose your own style and find clothes that make you feel unique and cool.
