Ah,cheugy: the word that was heard around the world when TikToker Hallie Cain posteda videoabout it.
ThinkGuccibelts, knee-high boots, and even Viva La Juicy perfume (viaL’Officiel).
Now, many havebegun to worryif the concept is just another way forGen Z to roast millennials.
As perThe New York Times, cheugy isn’t “basic” or “uncool.”
So what would be its opposite?
Thrifting your clothing, anything handmade, Levi’s, and even Birkenstocks.
So, when it comes to fashion, what are the major cheugy trends to avoid at all costs?
For one, Golden Goose sneakers.
The next cheugy trend might make you clear out a good chunk of your wardrobe: chevron print.
How can a print be cheugy?
We don’t make the rules.
Okay, we can handle nixing the Gucci belt.
While we still love our “Wine o’clock” sweatshirt, it’s good to know!
One millennial mainstay that’s being sent over into cheug territory?
One hundred percent but also cheugy.
So maybe only wear them when youreallyneed the extra warmth and snow day vibes.
Another cheugy shoe culprit might send you in a tizzy this summer: Tory Burch logo sandals.
So don’t mind us we’ll just be clearing out our whole necklace collection.
Other jewelry styles to avoid?
Instead, go for gold coin necklaces and anything that’s simple yet elevated.
So what should you go for instead?
