We millennials know our wardrobes are at risk. Just about anything we used to love — Uggs, skinny jeans, cross-body bags, “Live, Laugh, Love” slogans, and even our beloved side-parted hairstyles — get mercilessly slammed by Gen Z online. It seems that the younger generation has some brutal observations about our apparent basicness. And since their remarks usually feel like personal attacks, they may have a point.
While we have enough worries hiding the few gray hairs coming out of our heads, upgrading our wardrobes too can seem overwhelming. But it doesn’t have to be, thanks to fellow millennial Julia, who goes by the handle @beingjulia on TikTok. In her ongoing video series “Updating Millennial Outfits,” she takes our cherished yet outdated looks and shows different ways we can style them for 2022.
Over 261.7K of her followers appreciate her efforts and feel relieved they will no longer hear Gen Zers calling them “cheugy.” You know, someone who’s out of date. Simply trying too hard. But luckily for us, Julia’s account is a safe space to find inspiration without worrying about being teased ever again. Below, you’ll find some of the best tips and tricks she had to share, so continue scrolling and let us know what you think about them in the comments!
