Trendy fashions I'm peeping...should I buy these things???!?!?!?!

RE pointy shoes: If the point starts to slim down after the toes, then they *can* be comfortable, even if one has a wide set of toes. That makes the shoes longer, which can increase the tripping factor. That being said: humans are amazingly adaptable and muscle memory changes to accommodate the things we wear. If you get used to wearing pointy shoes, you don't trip on them. The question is: do you want to wear them often enough that you get used to them? And do they truly suit the silhouette you want to create? As a person of short, stocky stature, I find that, when paired with the right trousers, pointy shoes with a small heel can create the illusion that my legs are longer. But If I wear them with a skirt that shows my legs, they're unflattering because they make me look even stockier. So much depends on context.

Hey Hannah - I just wanted to say how appreciative I am of everything you espouse about thoughtful fashion purchases. I recently lost over 20kg and I was lost for how to dress / where to shop since I hadn't been 'normal' weight since my 20's. Since I'd been watching your make up content for a while, I went back through your fashion videos that I'd mostly avoided as I hadn't felt any need to pay attention to my clothes when I felt uncomfortable in my own skin. It did SO so much to stop me falling back on fast fashion outlets and making impulsive, excited decisions based on just being able to fit into things. You also led me to retailers I would never have been able to find in the sea of choices. For the past 6 months I've bought only a few high quality investment pieces for my wardrobe based on my lifestyle (mostly office wear), and I've never felt so comfortable or confident with my clothes. (I've also perversely enjoyed the covetous envy of my colleagues. Yes, I'm serving looks at this consultancy firm.) I bought a pair of wool pants today (it's winter here) and I'm fizzy with excitement for them to arrive in a way I haven't been for something I've ordered online in years. This whole journey has been a revelation and you're solely responsible, so thank you!

RE the socks/sandals/gen z thing — there is definitely an "ugly" fashion renaissance happening. It's the idea that "are you really a fashion girl if you can't pull off ugly stuff." Athletic flats, mismatching (like gym shorts with a cute top and ballet flats or pattern clashing), "unflattering" silhouettes, crocs, skirts over pants, long jean shorts, more is more, etc. I think it's fun, even though I rarely incorporate it in to my own style haha.

Hi Hannah! Many years ago, a very fashionable woman told me that when you wear pointy shoes, you look like you’re going somewhere. I’ve never forgotten it and I think it’s true. And some are very comfortable!

I would love a video about "Where Gen Z Is Taking Us" in terms of style/fashion/makeup/aesthetics! Initially I was rather put off by a lot of the Gen Z fashion trends but over time, perhaps by osmosis, many of them have grown on me and some I have even applied in my own wardrobe. It seems as though there are fewer rules with Gen Z style in general, and I really enjoy that!

I am the person who was like "no never!" about tall socks! I've never liked tall socks on me because I have quite wide calves and I've always thought it made my ankles look wide and wasn't flattering to my leg shape. BUT I'm really trying not to think about clothes as "having to be flattering" because I think it really boxes in creativity when it comes to fashion, and it really is just fun to add a little pop of color or print to an outfit, especially during the summer when layering options are limited.

I have two gen z kids, one weeby girl and one arty boy, and observing their personal style evolve over the years has been such a joy. Their openness to trying things out, breaking gender norms, and turning trash into treasure is such an inspiration to me, an Xennial who was raised to be totally neurotic about my personal style.

I'm all for not giving fashion (styles) an age. I'm working at a small boutique and it breaks my heart every time an elderly woman says "I'd love wearing this but I'm too old". And I know it's not exactly what you are saying with your thoughts on wether to wear the high sock trend or not. But it gives me similar vibes. If it is anyone's problem that a millennial is pulling of a gen z signature, than it's the problem of whom is judging. Personal Style is picking what you love from different styles and trends (at least this is how I learned it from you ;)) and just experimenting. And I love fashion for that 😊

Aren’t we all in the middle of a pile of chaos! I can always count on a Hannah video to be the calm in the center of the storm.

As a 33 year old millennial who lived through the embarrassment of having socks that were too long and would actively roll my socks down over my foot to create a faux-ankle sock, I fully approved the long sock trend. I oddly like the look and is very practical at the end of the day. I can't count how many times I have had ankle socks roll into my shoes and to fix them. Note this is coming from someone who has size 10 feet and is tall so the longer socks might feel more proportional to the rest of my body and be part of why I like the way they look on me.

As a millennial who used to only own no show socks, I’m totally on board with the tall socks look. It gives Lady Di vibes and I love it

As a gen X, I’m totally on board with Gen Z esthetics. Probably because a lot of it is selectively inspired by 80s and 90s fashion. 😂

In the 70’s and 80’s, we wore our socks high like that, but also paired them with leg warmers. What was old is new again. Fashion is cyclical.

I think the pointy toe is a villain vibe, which I dig hehe

I want the superpower that allows me to know which shoes will actually be comfortable BEFORE I buy them. 🤣

For me pointed toed shoes are something to appreciate from afar…very chic and elegant on the right person, but when I try them I inevitably feel like I’m seven years old playing dress-up in my mother’s closet

I am so completely disconnected from trends, I only get an inkling through your videos. Lately I’ve been wanting high socks due to sensory issues and all my millennial no show socks are so worn out. I bought two pairs and they’re FANTASTIC. I don’t care about how they look but they’re so comfortable!!! No more having to dig my socks out after the heel slipped off! No more shoes rubbing my ankles raw!! They also just weirdly feel like they’re supporting my ankles better? I don’t know lmao but I want more!!!

It's winter here in Australia, and I keep seeing knitted wool vests layered over t-shirts, long sleeves and tailored shirts. Love it so much that I decided to pick up knitting, and knitted myself one! Such a great layering piece, and a 100% wool labour of love investment piece! Also as a cyclist I fully embrace the long sock trend - I already do it on the bike and I'm so glad to do it daily wear as well.

Big nostalgia flash now of a blazer I scammed from my Dad back in the 80's and had tailored for me. Missing him, missing it - and how it made me feel so sharp whenever I put it on.

The blazer craze is another nod back to the 90s when we used to wear blazers with jeans or in lieu of a coat - it was great!
