https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJHemExz24E5 Things Millennials Should Stop Wearing In 2026>dress sneakers>wacky socks>skinny jeans>stretchy synthetics>ugly backpacksI can't stand Stridewise, but this video is spot on. Dress sneakers are a fucking cringe against humanity. Wacky socks are so embarrassing. Skinny jeans are so dated and ugly. Synthetics are shit and backpacks are so fucking ugly.
>>18631394uncs will continue to wear dated shit
>>18631394>dress sneakersI've never worn sneakers, of any variety, to a "formal" event. I've never owned, or worn, them.>wacky socksI don't wear "long socks" with my shorts, and you cannot see my socks when I wear pants. I don't claim to own "wacky" styled socks, but also, no one would ever know if I wear them (which is the opposite of modern fashion).>skinny jeansI was born in 1987. "Skinny" clothes was always viewed as effeminate, girly, childish, and gay for my generation. As a 38-year-old athletic white man, I've always purchased clothing that fit my needs and comfort... which never included tight pants.>stretchy syntheticsHas its use for arctic climates or other niche sports. Care to explain this, or is this just 3 guys whining about gym-thots?>ugly backpacksCare to define? If it serves its purpose, I have to assume it earns its value. Incidentally, "hunter's orange" is actually a color I highly promote for pedestrians; you're likely to save yourself from an accident or help your family and friends find you.

>>18631394>Fun socks are badMeh. Unless you're trying to obnoxiously highlight them with a really high pant break or low cut shoes/loafers I really don't see a problem outside of very professional settings. I agree with the other points though.
>>18631394>>dress sneakersI was never on board with this fad. As an adult, I never wore sneakers if I wasn't working out or playing sports. >>wacky socksAnother thing I never did, but I doubt this was ever a real fad. Crazy socks have been a thing since at least the mid-20th century. It's not going to go away. You're either about it or you're not. Doing it because of fashion trends is about as performative as you can get. >>skinny jeansThese have always been gay. When it first started to be a trend, I thought it was just faggots wearing girl pants. >>stretchy syntheticsThese have their place. They're good undergarments and workout wear. I don't recall anybody wearing this casually to consider it a trend.>>ugly backpacksAll backpacks are ugly.
>>18631394skinny jeans are the only item listed that was ever a serious fashion item
>>18631394He really should stop having that fat bald guy on. He looks retarded and is annoying. The older Asian guy is cool though
>>18631538My thoughts exactly. I'm supposed to care about the opinions and advice of a self-described "fashion guru" when he's really a bald chubby manlet? it's bad enough stridewise thinks he's a good dresser when every single fit of his looks like complete shitagree the gay asian dude is legit though. he's got good advice, good fits. too bad he's a gay asian manlet
>>18631394I think those are things nobody should wear.
>>18631394>>dress sneakersHave always hated these. If you're in a professional setting wear real dress shoes and if your work is that casual just wear normal sneakers.
>>18631653I saw them constantly at my old job and they looked like shit 100% of the time
>>18631394>wacky socks
>>18631394the crazy socks thing is so fucking embarrassing and screams "millennial"
What's the best alternative to backpacks? Each day I take my work laptop to and from the office, a notebook and my headphonesA briefcase seems unnecessary
>>18632542convertible tote/backpack like osprey daylite tote, patagonia has an equivalent too i think
>>18631866>and screams "millennial"what else should your outfit scream if you're a millennial?
>>18632722Classic menswear
>>18631394I've been wearing skinny jeans since 2009 when I was a teenage emo and will never, ever stop.
>>18631513>When it first started to be a trend, I thought it was just faggots wearing girl pants.It was. They weren't making skinny stretch jeans for men in the early 2000s so gay emo kids wore their sister's pants instead
>>18631866wacky socks are a meme from before millenials were even conceived. you wouldn't get it
>dress sneakersThey were ugly back n the day. Good thing they're dying. If your outfit or ocassion requires dress shoes, wear proper shoes, not the child version of that.>wacky socksI assume this means any socks with graphs, patterns or vibrant colors. They're OK as long as you don't bring unnecessary attention to them. You can't see them most of the time anyway.>skinny jeansNever was a fan. Forty year old dudes still wearing skinnies are cringe. They will come back, hopefully only to people who can actually wear them.>stretchy syntheticsFor casual wear no, with the exception of jackets. For sports and activities yes. But most people I see wearing those lately are zoomers in athleisure.>ugly backpacksA backpack is an utility item. Nobody carries one if they don't have to.
>wacky socksYou'll have to pry them from my cold dead feet.
>>18633147Imagine needing some ugly socks to replace the fact you have no personality
