A FEW KEY TRENDS (I.E. WHAT THE COOL GIRLS GOT)
informational · middle
I was shocked — shocked! — by how many Gucci purses I saw in hauls this year. (Lest you think this was a case of DHGate, they all claimed they were real!)
informational · middle
A lot of hauls included a viral Alo exercise skirt that, in several of their words, “everyone has.” They’re talking about the $78 Match Point Tennis Skirt, though as far as I can tell, they rarely wear it to actually play tennis.
informational · middle
I saw hundreds of Intimissimi sweaters. Specifically, the $65 Boat Neck Modal Cashmere Ultralight Top — if you’ve set foot in downtown Manhattan in the last year, you know the one.
informational · middle
All things polka dotted were big this year: Polka dot New Balances (I do see dad shoes, but they really are...), polka dot flocked Lululemon scuba (the one that girls were “running” for on Black Friday), polka dot Edikted leggings (for the cutiesier, the better).
Transcript
Is part two of what Gen Z got for Christmas. In case you missed the first one, I spent the last couple of days watching truly thousands of Christmas haul TikToks, tallying up the most popular gifts, and made a TikTok about that. I've been doing this for several years. I'm something of a TikTok haul anthropologist. For this one though, I've made a list of some of the emerging trends, I e what the cool girls got. So first of all, I was absolutely shocked by how many Gucci purses I saw. There must have been hundreds. Here tier a few of them. I saw a few Louis Vuittons, a few Chanel purses, quite a few Coach purses, but it was all about Gucci. Can anybody explain to me where Gucci came from out of nowhere? I mean, obviously they've been around forever, but like why are they suddenly in everyone's halls? Okay. Next up, the aloe tennis skirt. Definitely the emerging exercise it girl item. It's too cool to wear no, but come spring and worse, I think this will be everywhere. Also the intimacy I've never said this out good, so I'm not gonna try now, but it is the cashmere blend sheer boat neck. So many cool girls got this for Christmas.
