Lauren on Style Analytics

Oh in comparison to today, you’re probably right! I’m comparing it to coming out of the 2000s when we basically wore lingerie, tanned ourselves into oblivion and used body glitter/ oil. Victoria’s Secret corset tops were going out tops. Side by side the short “trouser shorts”, blazers, crop tops and skinny jeans looked Amish to me lol. It obviously depends on the environment you were in too. Suits, and tights were really popular, the big wraps that covered your entire torso lol. We still wore a cocktail dress on the weekends, but generally it was much more classy than the bandage dresses I wore in college. Yes we did wear a smoky eye for sure, that was our “edge” despite the mad men/gossip girl aesthetic. But that could be my environment, I lived in New York and worked in fashion. And I have loved it all, no regrets!
