The Psychology Of Why You Fall For Trends

A lot of what we call 'style' and 'taste' isn't really ours at all, it's just exposure. In this video I break down the psychology behind why you suddenly love trends you used to hate and how to tell the difference between what you actually like and what your feed has just shown you a lot. This used to genuinely confuse me. I'd see something like barrel jeans and think they were ugly, then a few months later catch myself wanting a pair and I could never quite figure out what was going on. So this is the reason! In this video I also share three little stress tests I use on myself to figure out what's genuinely my taste versus what I've been quietly influenced into, plus how to use exposure on PURPOSE to actually develop your own style. I'm curious... do any of you own pieces in your wardrobe you used to think were ugly? Also I'm super excited to announce that IM HIRING!
