I wore a white floor length full fringe shapeless dress on my birthday and a straight man said “why are you wearing a wedding dress” Best I’ve ever felt

[nilakelly]

Love dressing for the girls. I went to a concert and a boy in the group could not comprehend my vintage 4 inch orange flatform boots. Meanwhile random girls kept complimenting me all night. He was flabergasted. I felt great.

so having style is being yourself, trying something bold and don't care about if it's ugly or other people will like it? i think this is the healthiest and most fun approach to fashion i've ever heard.

[cohenthomas]

I 100% agree with wearing things that are “not flattering” sometimes the best outfits are the ones that are baggy on baggy and swallow you in the fabrics or skin tight ones that hug every bit of cellulite. Fashion is a great way to make your insecurities beautiful

[DaffyDuckFanClub]

As a straight man, the straight man rule applies to guy’s style too 😂

[maggiegutierrez]

So true it means so much more to me when a woman compliments my outfit vs a man

[leonploszowski]

I agree with the baggy thing and I personally think having a "personal Item" is also a part of having style - like something you're wearing all the time through years

[Alice-jqrd]

so many of these speak to confidence! i recently bought a pink frilly top that my whole family hates (they're nice about it lol) and the realisation that i really didn't care made me realise how i dress for myself now. my approach to clothes used to come from such a place of wanting to blend in and mask my insecurities. my happiness in an outfit is finally beating my anxiety about what other people might think. here's to making other people stop and think "that's weird" 🥰

[lilly_verhegge]

i always wear a flower in my hair (i have really short curly hair) and i just match it with one item like earrings, shoes, scarf…i just really feel like it puts everything together and i just can’t leave the house without a lil flower

[reb]

one thing i’m super proud of is that i was one of the pioneers of platform docs like they were impossible to find anywhere when i got them and guess who was making fun of me when i first got them… straight men and that’s when i knew i had done it

[TiffLau-ug]

my version of the straight man rule is "wear something that the aunties and uncles at the asian grocery store would stare at you for"

[rasmus]

as a straight man, i just wanted to add that i've been watching your videos for a while now and actually do draw a lot of inspiration from them :D

[sabahsultan]

I live by the "straight man would made fun of me" outfits/style haha

[Pizzagurl]

Laini! I just wanted to say that I really always appreciate your including examples not just of black women but dark skinned black women in a lot of your inspo pics you put in your vids. Specifically in this video with the black girl hairstyle. Just wanted to let you know your intention and attention to details in all your vids is so inspiring 🫶🏾

[megane]

A silly accessory is so true. I live in a hot climate and one of my fav silly accessories is my lavender crochet beret. It does not block the sun, keep me warm or cool, it’s just there to be cute and serve.

[katiemckee]

A few days ago I wore a long white maxi dress, a white chunky turtle neck sweater, and lime green cowboy boots and a man told me I looked like a nun. Loved every second

[MassielMancebo]

I’ve been told my style is intimidating or weird by straight men since I was a teen, I feel like that’s some kind of achievement lol.

[hannahlear]

I genuinely believe that nothing is ugly! It's all about how it's styled!! And some people don't get it when I say that. Laini makes me feel so seen lol

[annaquark]

That last thing is so true and it made me remember "men repeller" which was an online magazine found by Leandra Medine (not only) about fashion that ...repells men...so everything stylish or over the top :D

[etCarrieAnne]

The last one reminds me of the original days of the manrepeller fashion blog before it was a whole site--the idea of fashion specifically repelling men (and the idea of being flattering) and how glorious that can be
