as someone who wore tights-for-bottoms to have friends over last night, I can safely say I will never regret it, not least because it was a recreation of a look I've been obsessed with for 15 years (google 'Daisy Lowe leopard print bodysuit', Elle correctly clocked it among 'iconic looks of 2008'). I remain shit at taking outfit selfies, but that one's staying up on ig even if Daisy obv wore it better.
Honestly at the risk of sounding like a smug bitch I can safely say I don't regret a single outfit I wore that I actually liked at the time. Like you said, it's just life, and life is too short to walk around worrying about what some embryo will think of your fashion choices 20 years down the line (in this case, that I copied Daisy - which, yeah, it's a GOAT look for me, this was homage). Being genuinely 'of its time' doesn't make an outfit bad, in fact I think that's one of the greatest charms of throwback or historical accounts - I WANT to see the differences and the way things are of their era, it's what makes the similarities so compelling!
as someone who wore a no pants look for their 26th birthday a few weeks ago and had a moment of preliminary cringe when looking at the photos- THANK YOU this is exactly what i needed to hear
