The Outfits I Will Never Wear and Why
When it comes to fashion, certain outfits stand out to me as items I can't imagine myself wearing. Recent trends have brought certain styles to the forefront, but some just don't resonate with me. In this article, I'll explore why specific outfits and styles won't be part of my wardrobe and share my thoughts on personal preferences in fashion.
Super Tight Leather Pants
Outfits that feature super tight leather pants are a no-go for me. While celebrities like Hailey Bieber have embraced this look, I simply cannot fathom how she moves in such tight-fitting garments. The restrictiveness and the high maintenance nature of maintaining such an outfit are not appealing to me. Why I won't wear them: Limited mobility, need for constant maintenance, and a potential mismatch with my personal style.
My Closet Staples and Teennage Aesthetic
Denim, converse high tops, sweat pants, and baggy cargos are just some of the items that populate my wardrobe. Footwear like white running shoes also make regular appearances. These items serve as a constant reminder of my less confident teenage years and, while comfortable, they don't align with my current style and aesthetic. Why I won't wear them: They evoke negative memories, and they don't reflect my current style or confidence.
A Picture Perfect Outfit: Comfort and Confidence
This year, I envision wearing a more put-together, picture-perfect outfit that exudes comfort and style. A simple black top paired with white jeans would be a timeless combination that I could confidently wear. Completing the look with an effortless half-up, half-down hairstyle would be perfect. I also considered a high ponytail, which could still convey elegance without being too elaborate. Why: It balances simplicity with a polished look, ensuring comfort while looking put together.
The Outfit That Will Never Happen: A Wedding Dress
While there is nothing inherently wrong with wedding dresses, they simply don't align with my personal life goals and commitments. I am committed to the single life, and the idea of getting married feels less practical and less appealing. This isn't to say I dislike the idea of weddings—far from it! But my current lifestyle and attitude don't support the thought of tying the knot anytime soon. Why I won't wear a wedding dress: It’s not a part of my immediate life plans, and I don't see myself making the commitment at this stage in my life.
Parents' Approval and Personal Style
My parents play a significant role in my wardrobe choices, especially on special occasions. An outfit involving a wide variety of studs, boots, and chains has mixed feelings for me. I genuinely like all the individual pieces but find the complete ensemble too overwhelming. While I would wear each piece standalone, the combination feels too much for me. This outfit primarily consists of black, which isn't my typical color palette and may not reflect my personality as much as I would like. Why I won't wear it: It’s too much black and doesn't match my personal style.
Another outfit that stirs mixed emotions is a full-outfit ensemble that includes a leather hoodie, studs, and chains. I desperately want to feel confident in this look but I lack the body confidence to do so. Maybe in the future, if I manage to get some defined abs, I’ll reconsider this outfit. Why I won’t wear it: Lack of body confidence and a desire to match my personal style.
Brandy Melville and Ethical Fashion Choices
I hold strong opinions on fashion brands whose styles don't cater to a diverse range of body types. Brandy Melville, for instance, is a brand that has gained popularity for its unique and stylish designs. However, I will never purchase from this brand. The reason is two-fold: Why I won't wear it: The clothing is not designed for a wide range of body types, and the brand's approach to sizing can be seen as disrespectful and exclusionary. Additionally, the brand’s target market seems to be primarily petite teenagers, further limiting its appeal to a broader audience. I admire the quality and style of the wardrobe but can't support a company that excludes or disrespects customers based on their body type. Why I won’t wear it: Ethical and inclusive fashion practices are important to me, and Brandy Melville's practices do not align with these values.
Conclusion
The outfits I won't wear reflect my personal style, my lifestyle, and my commitments. From super tight leather pants to wedding dresses, each choice is driven by practical considerations, personal preferences, and a desire to live authentically. When it comes to fashion, embracing what makes you feel comfortable and confident is the ultimate goal.
