I think it’s just the current trends for teens. It was meant to appeal to the younger audience. When I was in HS it was all about minimalism, nike air forces, denim skirts, and doc martens. It’ll definitely age poorly just like every trend until it comes back in style lol

I love the hsy outfits

This exactly. Things aimed at teens are going to be super trendy and heightened aspects of any style so of course they'll fall out of fashion quickly.

True, but I also feel like the high school pack had a SUPER specific style that probably doesn't accurately portray what most teens are wearing these days, or at least where i'm from. Truthfully, it gave me the same vibes as what they wear in the show Sex Education, rather than anything i've seen in real life. Mind you, maybe this is just what American teens wear and I'm not American so would have no idea. So I feel like because it wasn't actually that realistic and was super over the top it makes it age WORSE, even if that was a conscious decision by the sims team.

Tbh though i do think todays clothing and design trends for teens nowadays are cuter and more flattering. Early 2010s stuff are cringe just because they are ugly and were always ugly. Moustaches and pineapples on everything was never cute it was just considered a mindless trend. Trends nowadays follow fashion rules and are made to be more aesthetic

or that one brass octopus; WHERE IS SHE NOW

How does this kind of thing even happen? Like I didn't even realise this was a thing at the time, but moustaches, owl necklaces, the brass octopus, the lot. I turned 30 in September 😂

NOT the owl necklace 💀

Omg I always hated the mustache and owl ones x_x I was SO happy when those items LEFT THE BUILDING!!

I still have some owl necklaces. I got rid of the chain but the pendants are in my makeup drawer for a little boost of happiness when I open them.

Same. I use pastel pop items all the time.

No hate but as a teen girl i think it’s already cringe

It goes so good in tiny living!

thinking anything is "cringe" is "cringe" in and of itself. it's great that you have enough individuality to just like what you like.

Same! I LOVE pastels and I can’t get enough.

Maannn that feels like yesterday. Toddlers still feel new

Age terribly? It was terrible at release lmao. Everyone was pissed about it

@@nephritedreams yeah..i know? but people will look back and be like how did we support a game that was released like that.

@@RosyKitteh ik!! i remember rushing home from school to update my game and being so shocked

@@CuteySimsi think there’s confusion bc people already feel that way, like it already HAS aged like milk, not that it WILL

heya! is there any reason they are used in tropical environment? (i mean besides aesthetic purposes)

@@bunnyjeans. Hi! So, I did some research since I only knew the aesthetic purposes of both. Rattan appears to be a popular eco-friendly option for outdoor use since it's naturally water resistant and resistant to fading in the sun. While wicker is common in its modern make since they use polyethylene strips over natural materials that degrade over time. Both are easy to maintain and long lasting options, if well taken care of! Hope this answers your question.

@@miso_sleepy thanks a bunch for the reply! 😊❤️

@@miso_sleepyalso less likely to hold moisture and bugs.

yeah like the cowboy boots! Some things are timeless because they are more than a trend to lots of people

Y E S

😸

🖤🐈‍⬛️

it's my favorite part every time

thank you for this gift, declan 🥰

It sucks because all the awful stuff from when I was a teen is popular with current teens and it’s honestly quite triggering

@@xythrialboot cut pants are my enemy

@@xythrial Hey, cringing at the past must mean you've improved!

Definitely agree with you there! I’m 34 and I got to the ‘fuck it, I like it’ stage a few years ago. I have my own unique style and it changes with my mood but I will always wear what makes me happy over what’s in fashion. I can’t keep up with fashion 😂 that’s a young persons game imo

I’m old enough that I’ve seen some of these trends become popular a few times. 😂 I really wanted wicker furniture around 1990, because my aunt had this huge dish-like wicker chair. And it’s come back into style at least twice since then.

2012 tumblr style never went out for me, I genuinely have loved it ever since 😅 now I’m starting see pieces of it come back into style and all I can think is “I knew it” hahahaha

I was born not giving a damn. I will happily wear the exact same thing forever if it fits & is comfy. I found the Lyra dress by Lady V London and now the only thing that stops me looking like a cartoon character who wears the same thing all the time is that the keep bringing it out in different prints. They make up 95% of my wardrobe now. I would still be wearing my skater dresses if I hadn't gained enough weight they no longer fit me.

thank you someone with a fvcking brain jfc ive entered my boomer era and i can't understand or relate to anyone under 25

I agree. Honestly food designs just fall into niches and people commit to their favorite. Mushrooms tend to come back regularly too

can't believe i forgot about the pineapples as a former pineapple girly

Mushrooms have been used in decor for literal centuries. The mustache thing was so twee. Like it was more quirk than anything aesthetically appealing which is why it went and probably Wong be back. Mushrooms are nature and nature is timeless.

​@@strayiggytv Are you implying that mustaches aren't natural? 😂

@@pinkdarkboy7127 they are but not as decore lol. Like if somebody said "yeah I redid my living room with an all natural theme" you'd flip if you went in and it was mustaches top to bottom 😂

I never thought about it like that

People said that with a lot of the clothing in sims 2 and 3 and now the clothing is super on trend

I don't even know what's "in" 😅 Pretty much all of this stuff I thought WASN'T in fashion and just assumed that we had decided to embrace cringeyness....

And that’s the most stylish aesthetic too. Confidence and feeling great pulls 80% if things together

The only draw back to wearing what you love: it goes out of style and then no one carries it and you have to wait until they come back instyle to beable to get more.

@@kellysueballard7654yup!! i love high-rise wide leg jeans and even just this year there were significantly fewer than in 2020-2021. in fact i ended up buying straight leg bc there were so few high-rise jeans with the wide leg

Like all the too short trousers tgat make it look like the poor sims have all had sudden growth spurts and couldn't afford new trousers that properly fitted past the ankle bone. That's never been fashionable, its always just been a sign of poverty. And yet it makes up the vast majority of trouser lengths in Sims 4. Perhaps it only bugs me because of how much I got bullied as a teen for not having long enough trousers when it was remarkably hard to find 34" inseams that fit my waist & hips (so couldn't wear men's fit which did come in that length). So many places making 32" their "long" and now I am seeing places say 30" is long when that used to be short. I'm not even that tall, I'm only 5 ft 6". But yeah, I can't let my sims ho through that so they all end up in the same 2 styles of trousers.

@@AlexaFaie Cropped pants was in fashinon a few years ago. I remember people would roll them up to show more of the ankle with no socks. When the game was released in 2014 it was a trend.

like that stupid base game cardigan with a belt

​@@AlexaFaiecropped pants are in fashion right now that whole rant just feels a little like a you experience

MY MOM HAS THEM IN HER ROOM AND THE DINING ROOM TO THIS DAY - IN THAT SAME CURSED TEAL

@@LucyLouuuuu NO MINE ARE IN TEAL TOO😭😭😭

This needs to happen

cringey and "being yourself" is just a synonym it seems (but then again, i myself am cringe so maybe im biased 😂)

Who cares if it's in fashion or not? If you like cottage core ten years from now, but the rest of the world moves on, keep wearing it! Besides, cottage core will always look good. I've neen transitioning my wardrobe to vintage and cottage core because I think it's so much more elegant, classy, and body flattering than the bland, shapeless things we wear today. Forget the haters, wear what makes your heart happy!

@@daytonapeanuti agree but the issue is that unfortunately if cottagecore goes out of style then cottagecore style clothing will become incredibly difficult to find.

@@daytonapeanut I dont know which cottage core looks you are thinking but I always saw this style as a cosplay of a farm girl. A look designed to take photos and post on pinterest. I never saw someone wearing that kind of stuff irl.

I love this approach!!! I've always loved Dirndl-style dresses and peter pan collars and such, and cottage core basically makes it easier for me to find those things.

all of my families wicker are hand-me-downs or second hand from like the 70s and 80s. wicker is not going anywhere.

Why? Doesn't have to be cringy if you enjoy it.

Technically not because those were never IN style 😂

Omg that’s such a good tip I’d like to have pink plum bobs and calming sunny countryside load screen

One last time! TheFeyQueenMini has Colorful Plumbobs and PRIDE Plumbobs (I spent at least two hours looking.) NC4T has one that makes the plumbob invisible, for when it blocks beautiful art, but I haven't tried it yet. UARGO4 and Goddess_Gamez have the LS BG over ride. There is a tutorial on how to create your own LS BG with S4S but I've never tried that.

i always play sims 4 like it’s set in the 2000s, i just don’t like the new aesthetics

I dont really hate it but i never know how to decorate spaces with it, like there are so many other mirrors in the game that i think are way cuter so i naturally default to those onez

It looks great in a corner lol

nah i agree with you, first time seeing it and just. ew? it kind of looks like 4 different sized mirrors stacked on top of each other. no thank you

Maximalism is not a specific style more a combination of extravagant design and bold colors. Is hard to say how dated it look because there isnt a specif time period it was the main trend.

The sims 4 low rise jeans are wayyyyy worse

@bluedabadee8997 ts3 ones are a centimeter from the cooch 😭 like i said i dont play the sims 4 much but if theyre that bad ill keep staying away lmao

SAME!!! I'll do like the MAC makeup cause I can imagine a young sim trying to get that perfect look and over doing it lol😆

There already has been one, there's the whole pastel goth aesthetic and you also see it in Elegant Gothic Lolita styles which sometimes use more of the pastel Lolita colour scheme just teamed with a neovictorian gothic lolita (for the latter look up the brand FanPlusFriend).

@@AlexaFaie pastel goth I remember that. Yes I'm aware of it but I wasn't that more clothing usually and it's not quite the same thing as what I imagine. The closest you would actually get to that is if you were to look at say Beetlejuice. In the Beetlejuice movie, they combined the contemporary era of the times of postmodernism. Pastel pop gets inspiration from postmodernism decor like Memphis style. But one these postmodernism I can't remember the architect's name. But there was also a kind of child-likeness, to have big chunky blocks brightly colored a lot of buildings in the 80s and '90s had that aesthetic, in North America. The kind of last remaining or what people remember of the dead malls. So think more like blocks like big blocks of Legos, playful but dark, liminal. But I can definitely see why you can connect to those thoughts. I almost thought about talking about pastel goth, Lolita because it tends to be more quiet like kawaii. * Also want to add I can see at your Victorian connection, Victorian style homes were considered very over the top, especially once they were no longer popular and more modern architecture and interior design became. And then it was seen as old fashioned. *An interestingly, enough if you look into say like the Addams family history, why did the Victorian home it was already seen as old fashioned, haunted. And thus, this one of inspiration a lot of goth culture.

The 'best' part about most of fast fashion neons is that most of the colours bleed horribly, how are people supposed to wash it and not destroy earth more (tbh buying trendy pieces from fast fashion brands is already a bad idea environmentally, but I get that not everyone is rich enough to buy sustainable clothing, especially if you're paying 40 dollars for a trendy t-shirt that will look weird in a year) and to achieve this neon they have to mix poliester or make a garment entirely out of it. So the black part is boring but makes sense, I never understood neons, just why.

...so what you hate is _cheap, faux_ rattan that is definitely not just found in America.

I think it won't even survive 5 years, or the clips would have to be 1 second long to keep people 😂

We can only hope..

Yeah just like UKposts went out of fashion haha

Peace signs, yin yang, smiley faces, and mood rings were all popular decades ago and will always be around. They weren't new with tumblr.

@@psychedelic.dreamer I never said they were new. Of course all of those were around waaaayyyy before tumblr lol. Before you or I were alive. However those symbols all together and in conjunction with what I said such as neon colors, chunky plastic and galaxy print, are often associated with 2005-2013. At least for myself it is and for many people I know. (Anecdotal evidence of course, I have nothing else to back up my claims other than my own findings.) but anyway it’s honestly not as deep as I’m making it out to be right now lol.

omfgg the cacti/succulent one is the PERFECT comparison, god they used to be everywhere

it only lasted for 2 days LMFAOOO 5:30 was TOO eary

I’m from TX and your boot comment is so funny. I needs to go buy two more pair!
