Gen Z vs. Millennial Fashion Trends According to TikTok

Age is just a number, especially when it comes to fashion. You should try out the trends you feel comfortable in that flatter your body, whether they reflect the ’70s, ’90s, or Y2K, or if they offer a fresh, new take on a look that’s evolved through the years. But after the great debate about millennial skinny jeans vs. Gen-Z mom jeans surfaced, we looked beyond denim. As it turns out, there are a lot of pieces millennials are known for wearing that Gen-Z would probably skip over. See: long cardigans, heeled booties, tucked-in, fitted shirts, and ballet flats, just to name a few.

The TikTokers here break it down hilariously, so you can determine which outfit combinations speak to you and the group that you fall into — if not technically, then just when it comes to aesthetics. When push comes to shove, are you a millennial or Gen-Z dresser? Just click through to find out. As for myself? I’m a millennial, but my affinity for baggy cargos, sneakers, and crop tops suggests I actually don’t dress like one at all. (I also happen to part my hair down the middle, so maybe I was just born in the wrong decade!)
