Celebrities on social media look so cool with their oversized jackets, fishnet socks, and sneakers, but when I try it, I feel like I’m wearing stuff I bought at the market. Do you think the problem is with me, or are these trends not meant for ordinary people? How can I make it look more stylish?
I think the issue isn't with the clothing itself, but rather with how celebrities sell it. I mean, they definitely have their lighting, photographers, a style consultant, and all that. When we try it on in the mirror at home, we can't capture that vibe, and naturally, it looks cheap. Honestly, I believe there's a bit of an illusion in how something can look so cool.
Exactly what you said, I also tried the oversized jacket and sneakers last year. When I saw it on Instagram, I was in love, but when I looked in the mirror, it just didn't work. It turns out it was all about the fit. It didn't sit on me right at all; it looked crooked. So, I took it to a tailor and got the shoulder of the jacket adjusted. Also, the shoes need to be really good quality; when you cheap out on sneakers, it shows immediately.
I think the source of the problem is in the details. For example, if you choose very thin tights, it immediately gives a cheap look. Opt for thick and seamless ones. Choose the jacket according to your size; it should never look oversized. Also, celebrities usually combine brands, so if you buy a few truly quality pieces, your entire appearance changes.
Now, those things you call trends belong to the world of celebrities. They have a lifestyle that isn't like ordinary people's. If someone in the neighborhood wore things like that, there would be gossip right away. Honestly, wearing sneakers with fishnet socks is not taken seriously around here. I don't think you have to do things like that just to look modern.
Actually, this is quite a common situation. Most of the things you see on celebrities are designed with professionals. It's impossible to achieve the same result as them when you wear the same thing because the environment, lighting, makeup, etc. all play a role. In fact, most photos are edited. I don’t think you need to think too much about it. If you adapt it to your own style, you'll look both more comfortable and unique.
What bothers me is the way women are always pressured to imitate or seek approval. I mean, it’s fine if celebrities dress that way, but why do we feel like we have to follow their lead? It’s as if no one is satisfied with their own self. Your personal style is your strength; you don’t have to feel obligated to keep up with others.
