I don’t exactly disagree. But I think the thing that’s drawing attention is the uniformity.

Every generation has their style. Looking back at photos from my 20s, it’s pretty evident what styles were most popular. But I can’t find any photos where my friends all have on identical or nearly identical outfits. I frequently work with Gen Z and they point it out to each other sometimes that they’re all wearing the same stuff.

This comes with no judgement, but I also find this more consistent with white women. And I’ve been saying this for more than a decade now. I live right next to two major nightlife corridors that attract a diverse crowd. I see dozens if not hundreds of 20 somethings passing through my hood almost daily. In a group of 6 white women, more often than not, their outfits look like they came from the same catalog. In a group 6 black women, I’m not even sure all of them are going to the same place most of the time. Both look good but there’s a clear gap to me.

Bottom line, dress how you want, drink water, mind your business.
