We've all been warned over and over: You'll look ridiculous if you try to dress too young. Even if you're bold and enlightened and have a boss style, you will most likely pick up a piece of clothing at some point and wonder, "Can I still wear this?"
Having an even greater impact than the new accoutrements of youth is the playfulness, the strutting, and the bold posture.
But a new trend on TikTok® is showing that, with the right attitude, older women can wear most anything they want. For this "turning my mom into me" trend, a user's mom walks into the room in her normal clothing—most often sweats, pjs, or something stretchy and inoffensive—walks out, then catwalks back in wearing clothes that her daughter would wear. The soundtrack is "I Wish" by Skee-Lo, and the mom always does some posing and mugging.
The daughter's clothes, accessories, and hairstyles certainly make the moms look younger. In some instances, you'll swear it's impossible that they have a teenage daughter. But having an even greater impact than the new accoutrements of youth is the playfulness, the strutting, and the bold posture.
