@modamensch: The "cool girl" aesthetic is the apex predator of microtrends because it's literally a label that prepares the consumer to see things that are "about to be awesome and will make you look so hip!" #coolgirl #itgirl #fashion #fashiontok #coolgirlaesthetic cool girl aesthetic, microtrends, fashion commentary
Chasing cool is the same as chasing the party. You have to BE the party for the party to be a party… you have to BE cool to be a cool girl… you can’t by things to be cool, you just ARE cool. So be cool and you’ll be a cool girl. Ya know what I’m saying…

Ive been dressing authentically my entire life, in high school I got called a chav, in sixth form the art students thought i looked distinct, from about uni onwards through adulthood ive been called the stereotypical hairy nerd and a homeless person (that was a snobby ex). All from the same sorts of outfits. I'm so confused some people think im cool, many think im basic nerd male, and some react badly to my appearance. And now ive signed on to be a ghost tour guide and want to dress appropriately for it and think it will be cool but have no idea where to start because my fashion has been 't shirt and cargo shorts' for most of my life

“cool” is just what we call something both interesting and aspirational. the least interesting and aspirational thing you can do is constantly imitate and chase someone else’s coattails. go be yourself!!

Ayup. The only way a person can stay “cool” while surfing micro trends is to have a huge pile of money.

This may be a personal issue, but I hate when people dress “trendy” and the outfit doesn’t make sense as a whole. Like, where is this person going wearing a military style jacket with tiny frilly bloomer shorts? Who wears long jorts that go past the knee and pairs that with ballet flats? Yes people are allowed freedom of expression and to create new fashion styles, but I can’t get what type of person they are other than “follows every micro trend and doesn’t know what the individual pieces of clothing are meant to convey”

The thing is, if you have to be told what’s cool then you’re definitely not a trendsetter

I hate the categorization of "cool girl" or "hot girl" or "it girl" so instead my Pinterest is not "cool girl" clothing boards cause I know what I like. I've got boards like
"fairy grunge subway witch"
"soft alt, but femme"
"punk, but femme"
"masc"
"nonconforming"
"maximalism"
"bunny"
