by 19-year-old Spencer Barbosa responding to the comment that “only people with flat tummies can wear low rises”. In the caption for the video, she responds “clothes don’t have a body type”. And it’s true. Societies have a body type, not clothes. By putting items once limited to cis ultra-skinny white women on a wider range of bodies, Gen Z is trying to expand that body type definition.
This has created a generational view of fashion that is much more inclusive and less cut-throat. I can’t really think of many trends that are actually “out” – other than fur and, increasingly, hopefully, fast fashion. It’s also less fixed. We’re donning a different look every day – or even multiple looks mashed up at once – rather than committing to one for a period of our lives.
