"Wear what you want" is not fashion advice. Comments like that will be removed. Repeat offenders will be muted and then eventually banned.

I'm seeing an influx of "wear what you want!" remarks. In general I don't find these to be in good faith meaning the comment isn't about giving someone permission to express themselves or take a risk, it's a tossed off flippant "who cares" vibe. It's also giving condescending like caring about trends, fashion, style, and how it interacts with age is shallow or boring or beneath discussion in some way.

This subReddit is for discussion of the minutia of fashion! People are "allowed" to ask really basic questions, and ask things like "can I as a 48 year old wear the bow trend" and "what's in right now" etc.

One of the core, main reasons this sub was created was to have a place where "wear whatever!" was not tossed around to every single question on a FASHION ADVICE SUBREDDIT.

Anyway, if you're reading a post and think "this person just needs permission to wear what they like" share your own story of taking risks, or make that encouragement clear outside of saying "wear what you want".
