Gen Z Rejects Millennial Fashion
Share
A discussion about generational fashion differences between Millennials and Gen Z, particularly focusing on how Gen Z views and criticizes Millennial fashion choices.
-
Gen Z actively makes fun of Millennials' fashion choices:
- Specifically mocks ankle socks as outdated
- Criticizes skinny jeans as unfashionable
-
Current Gen Z preferences:
- Prefers socks that show/are visible
- Favors baggy pants over skinny fits
- Likes high-waisted pants styles
-
Term "Cheugy" used to describe outdated Millennial style:
- Applied to wearing skinny jeans
- Used for ankle socks
- Usage examples:
- "I don't wanna wear skinny jeans, that's pretty cheugy"
- Can say "you're being cheugy"
-
Comfort factor:
- High-waisted and baggy pants noted as being more comfortable than skinny alternatives
- This aligns with current fashion trends
This represents a clear divide between Millennial and Gen Z fashion sensibilities, with Gen Z actively rejecting and mocking what were once considered standard Millennial fashion choices.
