Daria would be 34 years old now, and let’s be clear: She still doesn’t care about fashion a whole lot. To lend too much attention to fleeting trends would go against her staunch personality, the exact trait that makes her my anti-fashion hero. Her adult self is generally utilitarian, with subtle cool and edgy influences. Her style aesthetic has evolved while still hinting at her preferred pleated skirt–and–combat boot look of her teens. Ahead are three outfits a 30-something Daria would wear and a list of the trends she hates and the few she’ll tolerate. After all, loving a trend is not quite her M.O. She’ll leave that to Quinn.
Hates:
Athleisure (never going to be that chill)
Teeny-tiny sunglasses (trying way too hard)
Romantic tops (square-neck, puff-sleeve, no thanks)
Tie-dye (are you kidding?)
Shell jewelry (confused)
Hair clips/barrettes/headbands (hard pass)
Bold, clashing colors (*shudders*)
Clear bags (way too private for that)
Tolerates:
Normcore (the non-trend trend)
Vaguely “ugly” shoes (not heels and a tad alternative? Sold)
