'The Hills' managed to teach us vital lessons about style. Specifically, how not to dress:
Author:Anne T. DonahuePublish date:Sep 9, 2019In 2006, I considered myself Ontario's own Lauren Conrad. I wore flared jeans with flip-flops and long tank tops, and embraced headbands with the fervor of someone who believed she could pull off headbands. A single bangle, placed with stylistic intent on my forearm complemented my long, plastic necklaces, and on nights where I wanted — nay, needed — to seem fancy, I capped my look off with pointy-toed kitten heels.
"The Hills" taught us many things about friendship, about relationships and about following your dreams and heart. In addition to all of those, it managed to teach us vital lessons about style, too. Specifically, how not to dress. Of course, in 2019 things have changed. A scroll through Whitney Port's Instagram reveals an affinity for casualwear and jeans. A visit to Stephanie Pratt's feed sees a plethora of dress-centric formalwear, but less of an inclination towards whatever we saw in 2008.
You can dial down your lookI remember believing in my soul that to even go to a friend's house, I had to be decked out. My jeans had to look crisp. My sweatshirts had to look intentionally disheveled. Lo Bosworth, I thought, would never be seen getting pizza at midnight in anything less than the most coveted graphic tee in the land. And then I got older, and a lot more tired.
The thing is, since the inception of "The Hills" in 2006, most of us have come to understand that while everything we wear is part of a larger message, we usually gravitate to what makes us feel powerful. In some cases, that may be clubwear. In others, it may be a wide-brimmed hat. But most of the time, it's what we put on when we just want to be: when we're grabbing lunch or running errands or eating dinner with our friends.
