DeepSummary
In this episode of her podcast 'anything goes,' Emma Chamberlain discusses various current fashion trends and determines whether they are trendy or timeless. She analyzes trends like piercings, oversized sunglasses, boxers as outerwear, camo prints, tooth gems, and more through the lens of whether they will remain fashionable years down the line or become cringeworthy.
Emma shares her thought process behind categorizing each trend, considering factors like the trend's purpose, versatility, and potential for becoming overdone or extreme. She acknowledges that while some trends may be fun to participate in temporarily, truly timeless pieces tend to be simple, comfortable, and serve a practical function.
Throughout the episode, Emma reflects on her own experiences with certain trends, such as her recent decision to remove her nose ring after years of wearing it. She aims to promote more mindful fashion consumption by distinguishing between passing fads and enduring staples.
