YLF!&nbsp;</p> <p>I like your analysis! I'm nodding along.&nbsp;</p> <p>Interestingly, that Birkie Arizona style slide can be sooooo many things: iconic classic, trendy classic, fashion forward, trendy - take your pick </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwtrendy-items---current-and-past-their-peak#post-2350231 Sun, 21 Jan 2024 13:37:47 +0000 Zaeobi 2350231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That slip skirt is fab on you, off-peak or on-! I'm not seeing maxi versions over here yet (if I was I would have pounced on them already), so you're still trendy over here </p> <p>Trending or not, this outfit feels very Sal - 'breezy elegance' indeed! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwtrendy-items---current-and-past-their-peak#post-2349946 Wed, 17 Jan 2024 23:36:37 +0000 Anonymous 2349946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks current to me- would wear! I'm definitely preferring bolder jewelry these days too, and still love slip skirts, though don't own one atm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwtrendy-items---current-and-past-their-peak#post-2349943 Wed, 17 Jan 2024 23:22:38 +0000 Sal 2349943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Jaime, Bijou and Lyn.&nbsp; I think that's when you know you have a winner - when something is easy to wear and often feels right.&nbsp; Kind of a FFBO (Fast Fall Back Option).</p> <p>My jumpsuit used to have this role but it has worn out (I still wear it but only very very casually) and this skirt kind of has taken this role in a different way.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwtrendy-items---current-and-past-their-peak#post-2349903 Wed, 17 Jan 2024 10:50:14 +0000 lyn67 2349903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just love how easy wear this is&nbsp; for you-love the bias cut satin skirt-always great to dress it down like you did with a tank and slides! YLF! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwtrendy-items---current-and-past-their-peak#post-2349882 Wed, 17 Jan 2024 02:19:14 +0000 Jaime 2349882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Absolutely current and fab looking. Actually the whole look sort of has a 90s minimalist feel so kind of yes trendy but not in an in your face way.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwtrendy-items---current-and-past-their-peak#post-2349877 Wed, 17 Jan 2024 02:08:57 +0000 Bijou 2349877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look great and I feel that whilst bias cut skirts do come in and out of fashion, when they are well cut and flattering, they never go out of style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwtrendy-items---current-and-past-their-peak#post-2349875 Tue, 16 Jan 2024 22:26:24 +0000 Sal 2349875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks all - I liked the outfit and I agree that juxtaposition is one of "the" trends of the 2020s (and earlier).&nbsp; Previously I would have worn this skirt with a low heel - definitely not with a flat slide.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I liked this outfit a lot - and I guess what I was trying to do was think about where the individual pieces were in the trend cycle as we have had a few posts about trends and whether we were influenced by them or not.</p> <p>And I agree - the colour palette is quite of the moment - I hadn't even thought about that.</p> <p>My lesson from the discussions about trends is that when they really are good on you - and you like them - you can pretty much always make an outfit work.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I do love fashion and style - but don't consider myself to be cutting edge in any way.&nbsp; And the truth is I do enjoy trends and the ebb and flow - and making them mine.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwtrendy-items---current-and-past-their-peak#post-2349873 Tue, 16 Jan 2024 22:02:15 +0000 rachylou 2349873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you’re right. But also, I don’t entirely have my head around trendy modern classic as a thing - I just know it looks good! I love the birkies with the skirt and how they’re both a similar neutral. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwtrendy-items---current-and-past-their-peak#post-2349867 Tue, 16 Jan 2024 21:20:49 +0000 Brooklyn 2349867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with your assessment and also what SarahD8 said: juxtaposition is a very modern element. You look lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwtrendy-items---current-and-past-their-peak#post-2349865 Tue, 16 Jan 2024 20:03:24 +0000 SarahD8 2349865@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a great outfit and a sophisticated color palette. What makes it most current to my eye is the use of juxtaposition -- dressier skirt and more casual sandals -- an ongoing trend for some time now or maybe even the defining feature of our fashion era.&nbsp;</p> <p>My eye (or brain!) is less sensitive to the comings and goings of individual items I think. I see others commenting that Birkies have become trendy "again" -- I was aware that they had become popular but not that the trend had waned, and so therefore not that they had come back. To me they've just been...around. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwtrendy-items---current-and-past-their-peak#post-2349858 Tue, 16 Jan 2024 19:54:10 +0000 Helena 2349858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with your assessment and love your outfit! I agree with notsaf ... I think the slip skirt is still going strong even if it's not the most fashion-forward anymore ... a modern classic for sure! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwtrendy-items---current-and-past-their-peak#post-2349855 Tue, 16 Jan 2024 18:58:32 +0000 Cardiff girl 2349855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that you look Lovely and that the overall vibe is very minimalist nineties which is still a trend here.I don’t think in an outfit every item has to be up to the minute trendy to Project a modern look.It’s the sum of the whole when it’s viewed l think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwtrendy-items---current-and-past-their-peak#post-2349847 Tue, 16 Jan 2024 17:55:15 +0000 April 2349847@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up from me on the cuffs, color palette, mixing new and old, and generally looking great.&nbsp; Birks are classics but not always hip; right now they are having a moment of hipness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwtrendy-items---current-and-past-their-peak#post-2349844 Tue, 16 Jan 2024 17:00:18 +0000 Star (Lise) 2349844@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I too love the colour combo and it really suits you.&nbsp; Looks like a modern classic outfit to me too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwtrendy-items---current-and-past-their-peak#post-2349843 Tue, 16 Jan 2024 16:53:15 +0000 Bonnie 2349843@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This outfit looks great.

I prefer your sandals actually, super cute. I love the skirt, great outfit all around.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwtrendy-items---current-and-past-their-peak#post-2349825 Tue, 16 Jan 2024 13:51:48 +0000 ChristelJ 2349825@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That slip skirt looked amazing on you, and you've styled it so well. You make me wish I had a slip skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwtrendy-items---current-and-past-their-peak#post-2349824 Tue, 16 Jan 2024 13:51:40 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2349824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m still liking slip dresses and skirts. And birks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwtrendy-items---current-and-past-their-peak#post-2349823 Tue, 16 Jan 2024 13:36:02 +0000 notsaf 2349823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely sandals and a great look! I think that slip skirt still has legs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwtrendy-items---current-and-past-their-peak#post-2349819 Tue, 16 Jan 2024 12:03:53 +0000 kkards 2349819@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fab…and from what I’ve been reading about spring 24 trends, this is current and on trend. Especially the color of this skirt and shoes. .&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwtrendy-items---current-and-past-their-peak#post-2349810 Tue, 16 Jan 2024 06:09:57 +0000 Carla 2349810@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I read somewhere that the Arizona style Birkenstock (double buckle like your sandals) is trending - again! &nbsp;I think of Birks as classic, however I know there are some different styles and some are more popular than others. &nbsp;</p> <p><div><br /></div><div>FWIW, I got a surprising amount of year ‘round wear from my slip skirt picked up last year and have plans to keep wearing it in 2024!</div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwtrendy-items---current-and-past-their-peak#post-2349808 Tue, 16 Jan 2024 05:43:30 +0000 Sal 2349808@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Suz! The workshop will be full soon - half our company moved in October and the second half move in February. </p> <p>I only added this skirt last year - I should have added one earlier - I was nervous of the bias cut but I actually find it very flattering and easy to wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwtrendy-items---current-and-past-their-peak#post-2349805 Tue, 16 Jan 2024 05:36:00 +0000 Suz 2349805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you've summed it up nicely and YLF! :)&nbsp; I agree with each of your categorizations. Although I am still longingly looking at slip skirts and thinking, why didn't I buy one of those a few years ago before the trend peaked? Oh well.....</p> <p>Workshop looks beautiful and so clean! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiwtrendy-items---current-and-past-their-peak#post-2349803 Tue, 16 Jan 2024 05:22:14 +0000 Sal 2349803@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is what I wore to work today for a hot day. In January we are a bit more casual than usual. I am in our newly painted workshop which will be set up over the next month. Often I have to wear closed shoes but not today.</p> <p>Trendy - I would say these slides are pretty fashion forward here where I live. Maybe not in some places though. </p> <p>Past the peak - the slip skirt probably peaked here two years ago. Maxi versions are more trendy than the midi length. I like this length on me though:</p> <p>Classic - black tank - it’s not oversized nor especially body con. And I think this style of sunglasses is a modern classic and a style I have always worn although these were new for Christmas.</p> <p>My own style - cuffs were trendy 5 or so years ago. Still wearing one feels right to me - I have always been a fan. I think more delicate jewelry is more trendy right now. I always wear this pendant too which is vintage.</p> <p>Overall - I think this is a modern classic outfit influenced by trends.</p> <p>What do you think?</p> <p>(I wore my slouchy bag but not really as I drove to work and put it by my desk all day!) </p>
