That we all follow fashion?
I know, within seconds of me posting this someone will be along to say they are completely free thinkers and would never be sheep like enough to follow any trends but if that's the case why do we never see anyone dressed in a flowing regency gown or trussed up in a victorian dress?
Personally I love vintage dresses (70's/80's maybe, like Mary wears in Young Sheldon) but I see loads of people wearing the same style of dress, where does it come from? Who decides what 'looks good'?
I remember as a teenager reading Cosmo and the style advice at the time was that boot cut jeans were great for everyone and the only shape of jeans anyone remotely stylish should consider! As it turns out, as a tall, fat woman with relatively slim legs skinny jeans look much better on me! I couldn't have bought them at the time even if I wanted to as nowhere stocked them until I was in my late 20's!!
I think we have far more choice now which is good but to some extent we can still only choose what someone decides to buy in for retailers.
Personally I am waiting for a full Georgian revival inspired by Bridgerton so I can waft around in an exquisite gown all day (not sure I will be able to walk the dogs in it but I am prepared to give it a go😆)
