However, they don’t usually stay around forever and we often see a contrast in trends between generations. As Gen Z style continues to take over from Millennial looks, here are some clashing trends from each era.
Millennial: Skinny Jeans
Any Millennial will know that skinny jeans were one of the biggest trends while growing up. For a long time, any other style of jeans was practically ignored in favor of this skin-tight, figure-hugging denim.
Gen Z: Baggy Jeans
In direct contrast to Millennials, skinny jeans are widely regarded as uncool by the younger generation today. There are loads of styles of jeans that are in instead, and most of them are a baggier, more casual fit.
Millennial: Flat Shoes
Whether it’s a chic ballet pump or a buckled ankle boot, footwear for Millenials was all about the flat sole. This delicate and feminine style was popular for some time.
Gen Z: Chunky Shoes
Chunky footwear has been big for a while now, which again is the direct opposite of the shoes of Millennial fashion. Platform trainers and chunky boots are all the rage currently.

If you keep up with food trends then you’ll no doubt have seen the rise in rejection of “ultra-processed” foods.

]]>If you keep up with food trends then you’ll no doubt have seen the rise in rejection of “ultra-processed” foods. This term refers to food products that have been produced in a certain way or had certain ingredients added to them which makes them very processed and bear little resemblance to any natural food item. Here’s why opting for non-processed, real food is becoming more popular.
People Want Transparency
As people become more aware of the health implications of ultra-processed foods, there’s an increasing desire for clarity and honesty when it comes to food production. This means people want food that has simple ingredients. A classic test of this concept is to check a food product ingredients list and see how many items in the list are complete jargon to you. People want “real” food so that they can understand how it’s been made.
The Effects on Gut Health
Gut-healthy foods have been thrown into the spotlight in recent years. With so many people having digestion issues it’s no wonder we are all looking to our diets to see what might be the cause. Having food that’s crammed with preservatives and chemicals is causing serious damage to the gut microbiome, so natural, real food is much preferred.

]]>One of the biggest food trends over the past year has been fermented food. This kind of food has been popular for a long time, but the recent obsession with “gut-healthy foods” has seen it thrown into the spotlight even more. Foods that have been fermented are often sour and tangy, which a lot of people love as a flavor, and their benefits on the gut microbiome are even better. Here are three to try if you’re new to this trend.
Kefir
This food is made using kefir grains and milk. The grains help the milk to ferment without going bad and can produce either a milk-like drink or yogurt. Either way, you’ll have a very sour and tangy dairy product that has amazing effects on your gut health.
Kimchi
This dish is made using vegetables and uses a process that allows them to ferment just using water and various flavorings. The classic version uses cabbage and carrot but can be done with other kinds of veg too. The result is a spicy and tangy flavor that pairs well with so many other dishes.
Tempeh
Think of this as a more interesting version of tofu. Made using fermented soya beans, this vegan food is dense and high in protein. You can use it to make sandwiches or stir fry.

Most people have at least heard of the 00s chick flick, and for many the funny film has a cult classic status. For this reason, the movie’s release is highly anticipated. Here’s why it’s one to look forward to.
It’s a Musical
Based on the Broadway show version, the new movie will see the characters breaking out into songs and expressing their feelings with heartfelt ballads. While some might say Mean Girls is cheesy enough as is, for fans of chick flicks and musicals this merging will be a dream come true.
The Cast
Even if you aren’t super familiar with the 2004 version, you’ll likely recognize Tina Fey and Tim Meadows who are returning as the lovable teachers at the school. Jenna Fischer, Busy Philipps, and Jon Hamm also join the cast, so you know you’re in for a treat.
It’s Modern
For any young people now, the original Mean Girls movie may be too dated to relate to. However the upcoming version is much more relevant to high schoolers in today’s age, and the modern feel of the tale is refreshing and enjoyable.
