I also feel like microtrends are a very "online" thing. I don't see many people in real life sporting a lot of the microtrends that dominate online spaces. (Also thrifting them is keyyyyyyyy!!!)

I love creators that get right into the subject without talking for a bazillion years.

What did we do to deserve so many Lainey videos in so little time 🥹

YES I'm so sick of the Ganni blouse. I thought I hated that entire style, and poufy sleeves esp - then I found one at thrift store with a peplum, tie in front, but textured linen and flat sleeves with a pouf at the end. And I love it! It's the same concept, my way! Thrift your own version of a trend, guys!!

As an old lady it's hilarious to see these white t-shirts with lingerie of different kinds printed on them as cool, trendy, new. In the 90s this was a nightgown trend for our Moms. Yep, 40+ ladies were wearing them as an ironic joke, because they'd be in a big comfy white t-shirt/night gown with a skinny little lingerie thing on top. It was so silly, deliberately so, and just the idea that this is now thought of as new and creative and edgy.. I wonder what I'm doing ironically now that will become a real 'cool' trend for my kids, or theirs.. fashion is a hilarious cycle of creativity and oddity,

Love the Ernie cameo. He’s such a good boy! 🤍

lol having grown up at the jersey shore, a bikini printed on a t-shirt becoming trendy is so funny. it's been such a tourist trappy souvenir for decades... the shirts you shared do look cute (much cuter than what I imagined when you first said "bikini printed on a white tee shirt" I was just like ohhh nooooo)

your makeup looks so pretty here! loved this vid as always

It’s an Olympic year . Polo pieces are always fairly popular those yesrs

Finding eggs in your purse is so toddler-core 😂😂😂 my bags are full of monster trucks

Ok I don't keep up with designer trends at all so this video is the first time I'm seeing the Ganni buckle flats. Holy flashback! They really aren't very original considering in college I had a VERY SIMILAR pair of flats from Baker's (average mall shoe store from back in the day) in freaking 1989! Mine weren't sling backs, and they were more of an almond-toe. But they had the 2 chunky silver buckles, one across the toe and one on a strap across the lower instep. I wore those shoes to death, to the point that I kept adding Dr. Scholl's insoles to cover the inside of the shoe that was so worn and torn up. I wore them with black tights and short plaid skirts (think "Heathers" the movie), and black leggings with oversized sweaters, and long denim shorts with my Depeche Mode concert tee. I was THE SHIT back in the day! Man, I wish I still had those cute flats. 🥹🫶🏻

The teddy bear graphic sweater was such a huge trend among international students from China and Korea at my uni a few years ago and it was insane. I guess the Americans discovered the flag and ran with it lol

I recently got the onitsuka tigers, in a green colourway, and their my FAVE thing ever….I feel like you can’t go wrong with those shoes really

the way i have four items out of your thumbnail 😭😭😭😭

I recently bought a blouse similar to the ganni one because I realized even though it's online everywhere but I don't know a single person who owns this blouse and I can't even remember seeing it outside often.

I appreciate the distinction you make between micro-trend and trend!!

you should do a video of finding secondhand versions of micro trends (or just trends)! like showing what keywords you search on secondhand sites and what you find

I loveeee my knock off Ganni flats. They’re perfect for me. I love pointed kitten heels, grommets and studs so I just knew I would wear the heck out of them.

Your makeup looking AMAZING!! 💕

I love this advice for participating in microtrends by trying a piece that's adjacent to it rather than the exact piece or an outfit that feels too Pinteresty - as I always feel a bit weird in something that's too on the nose as I feel like it's wearing me instead of me wearing it!!

love this filming set up actually

Also Laini, your top is so stinkin cute!! ❤️😍

the GREEN DRESS would look super hot with your yellow purse!

i love your videos so much!

I love your channel!!! You keep it real and somehow blessed us with a lot of informative but fun videos in a short time. I always put them on while tufting rugs or eating, it's so relaxting

Okay yes to that green house of sunny dress I bought it on poshmark last year after wanting it for years and I still think it’s so perfect

I love tour videos so much, you're my favorite creator right now and I'm nummed you don't have a tiktok acc to post little outfit and inspo videos

I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the mamacoo leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.

I was at a vintage store in Kensington market (Toronto) yesterday that had upcycled versions of the Ganni blouse made from old button up shirts. I thought it was a cool take on the trend! I don’t wear a lot of puff sleeve blouses so I didn’t think it would fit in with my wardrobe. I did get a cook charm necklace at the store and all the charms are lockets!

Thank you SO much for introducing us to the brand 7or9! I went to their website, and I'm so excited to finally find a small heeled pump.

i found the CUTEST vintage 90s nautical ralph lauren sweater on etsy for only $36 and i love it so much more than the american flag one. definitely will also try to find a teddy bear one second hand because they are tooooo cuteee

I bought those miumiu knockoffs a year ago bc I saw them in one of your videos, and have worn them so much

love your videos/ commentary on fashion!! def earned a new sub 🤭

Can you do a makeup tutorial on your look in this video!!

Just found ur page and it’s love at first click 🔥

ouu i absolutely love this video topic

love this video and what you said; "if you don't have it yet, there is probably a reason why".. sometimes I'll be interested in a trend but truthfully I low key side-eye being trendy so I don't buy the thing but in 3-4 months after it's run it's course, then and really only then if I'm still interested I'll maybeee buy a similar feeling piece.

Honestly yes

ur my fave you alw have correct opinions (to me) ily

I have the silver Onitsuka Tigers but haven't really figured out how to style them. Sigh. I bought them second hand but in mint condition for $60. I love them but just kind of look at them as art.

I def spent a couple hundred bucks on a custom charm necklace from Etsy that I have NEVER worn

I’ve tried so hard to like the ganni buckle flats but I just can’t do it

I honestly always thought "micro trend" meant that it wasn't a huge phenomenon and instead something for a niche audience, maybe. But I guess it just means a very specific trend? Interesting.

I got a knockoff version of that green dress off thredup right before i knew what it was and saw how popular it got and then everyone hated it so I never wore it😂

12:40 maybe its because the 4th of July is coming up but then again you can get it anywhere😭

I’m not saying I’m impervious to being influenced. I’m human. I’m susceptible to being influenced. I think maybe it’s because it takes me a minute to make a decision. I have to sit with something for a bit to know if I really like it or not so I often “miss” trends just by default lol. I am that person who gets the trendy thing like a year after its moment is already gone. Not because I’m cool or rebellious. I’m just slow. But that means I don’t buy it because I feel like I “have to have it” to be “cool” or to be some style queen. If I am obsessively looking an item up, if I keep going back to it, if I catch myself daydreaming about how I’m going to style it, then I will start the hunt for something that will scratch that itch. I think if you love something so much you can’t stop thinking about it, get it. But yes, totally agree that the fundamentals still matter. The yellow shoe might be what originally pulled you in because you saw it everywhere, but maybe think a little longer if it’s the colour you like or the style of the item. Maybe you really want a yellow shoe but that style of shoe is never going to fit in your rotation, or it’s the style you love but the colour just ain’t gonna cut it. Maybe it’s the ties on the white shirt you love, but puffy sleeves are just not something you’re ever going to actually wear. Paying attention to the details of the item you’re obsessing over helps make better choices that you’ll actually love wearing long after the trend has disappeared. ❤

Nice one!

11:38 I believe the original micro trend piece are the colossus jeans from jaded london (ew.) but temu, etc. NEVER come up with a creative idea!! But I'm positive that jaded probably copied a vintage pair. Basically they're the same - stealing from small brands + being ultra fast fashion and having 0 brand identity lol

thank you gracie abrams

It bothers me when things that are explicit fakes and knockoffs are called dupes. Like to me a dupe is something that is comparable but not identical I.e. 2 lipglosses with similar shades/formulas not actual design theft. To me the ‘dupe’ language normalizes places like Steve Madden whose whole job is just to steal designs

Ernie???! Omg I've missed him so much in your videos, I was afraid he'd passed away! 🙌🏻

LAINI I NEED HELP!!! I want to get colored sambas or onitsukas and i ve been thinking about this for MONTHS but idk which one to get. I mostly wear baggy jeans and i m thinking of a green colorway in both brands.

What does it say about me that I buy micro trends after they are dead and gone on sale? Cause I really want the damson madder leopard print jeans, (because of my body shape most vintage styles don’t suit me well) and I really don’t care if I buy them past the point that they are cool

As usual great content and nice presentation?! 👊🙂👍

EERNIE wants more charms on :)

The good thing about living an an area that isn’t very “on trend” is no one else knows what my yellow onitsuka tigers are 😂

En el momento en que vi el bolso kislux , supe que tenía que tenerlo.

It’s crazy how the bikini print on a tshirt is a trend that is over saturated, bc I live in the Midwest and have literally never seen it before you said something 😅 which I guess isn’t a bad thing. I’m just not on that side of Pinterest as much, my algorithm has become less trendy pieces ig

I have the green house of sunny dress that I never wear! If you want to buy it off me, I'm 100% willing to part with it esp to you!

I also feel like people (fashion commentaters/influencers) will see a trend they don't like and will try to keep diminishing its populatiy by continuing to call it a "micro trend" even though it's definitely taken off and stuck around. Could totally just be speculating but depending on how much of an online following you have I feel like it works sometimes? Like, after a couple of years they've just continued to hate on something for so long that people will actually stop thinking it's cool. Kind of how a lot women found freedom in low-rise pants/jeans but there was so much pushback from the very start that now, two years later, it really is going out of fashion again even though realistically it gained enough attention to have potentially stuck around longer? It kind of makes it so that some things are in between, they definitely weren't just micro trends but they also didn't get their full moment in the sun. I don't know if that makes any sense at all, but I feel like this is where we're heading with ballet flats in another year or so even though they're obviously cute and versatile enough to be a long-term staple, I just doubt we'll let them stay popular enough to reach their full potential like that.

House update???

OMG the *stupid tiny mic*rophone. 👽 RIDICULOUS

Ernie Ernie ernie

💘

The flag sweaters + shirts aren’t a microtrend to me cause I’ve been wearing those Ralph Lauren ones for YEARS. I was a very fashionable 8 year old in 2015

people not knowing the difference between cheetah print and leopard print will never not cease to infuriate me lmao

Goofy video idea, please do an outfit of the day video where you and Ernie match. (Dog Outfits)

For a long time, as the price of Chanel increased, I no longer thought I could afford it. I think I'll be happy that I have the D U P B A G Y as my travel bag that I don't have to take care of. By the way, I'm sure no one will have a hard time telling the difference. Thanks for the comparison.

Do I want sambas or am I microtrending 🤕🤕🤕

Worse capperute i simply grand wear i sand be causally if were know

ARE U CRYING

Dude I thought you were like 18 at most. Never realized you had kids

I love you so much! I recently just found your kislux and i’m in love!! Your videos are so fun and you energy is just MWAH! keep living your life

miu miu ballerina flats are not a micro trend theyve been around since 2016 ur just last on it

The american flag sweater is embarrassing... like that flag symbolizes so much horrible things...

What the point to this ridiculous Video and these stupid titles they give styling clothes it’s not that difficult to dress yourself wear what you like it’s clothes it’s not that serious to make a whole video about

Hiya laini, could I join your discord server?

I really love your taste and style always so chic. My faves would be the kisluxbag leather backpack and the Swarovski pave diamond ring so gorg. Thank you for your recommendations.
