ABOUT SERIES

Refinery29 Birthtosociety great segment something that needed to be said I feel that the young people in my community Sunny South Dallas r consumers of their on culture & style we where made to believe if you choose to dress that way it was not cool you where poor thrifty stores shopping was where you’re mom went to buy clothes because you couldn’t afford anything else .Now with this big movement I call Robinthehood culturally has flip the script on a lifestyle that all others can be apart of my mom would always tell me don’t be mad if someone takes something you had and make money with it if you had a chance to do the same the only problem mom is we didn’t have a Chance.
It’s very conservative here, so walking around you won’t see a lot of the exposed skin (ignoring that it is also winter and we do have a mild form of winter here), and typically the people who have money wear very low key outfits. Top brands, but nothing flashy.
Vancouver is usually exaggerated as the “yoga pants” city, but that’s an extreme claim. You see that a lot because a lot of people do yoga, go to the gym, and hike. You can do extreme hikes where you need gear, but there is so much nature here that is accessible by transit or walking. But….it’s not the majority of the fashion here.
I should mention that most men in Canada have zero fashion sense, and no style. It’s sad.
There is also the overwhelming “poor” population, who, in other cities would not be poor, but they don’t care about brands or trends and stick with cheap fast fashion. Most young people follow basic trends but nothing too street.
Canada, in general, is not very fashion friendly. There are people with good style, but nothing bold. Most people with the best and boldest fashion sense are in high school, where you can see a lot of the street wear trends, after that fashion usually dies. Mostly due to peer pressure, or less free time to follow trends.
Oh, also in club culture. Maybe. I try to avoid going to clubs. 😮
I would like to mention that I love fashion, but I have a poor sense of style. I like looking at these lovely stylish people, but I also don’t want to dress that way. I want to do my own thing and not have to worry about if something it on trend. I mostly dress like a 5 year old, or a teenage boy.
