10 Fashion Trends That Have Fueled The Low-Maintenance Lifestyle
Harper's Bizaar

Lazy became trendy sometime in the last few years and our latest fashion trends are there to prove it. Whether it be lazy Sunday morning brunches or our obvious increase in loungewear purchases, we’ve collectively decided that the lazy life is a much more enjoyable one.

Despite the many issues with this decision (that we’ll decide to ignore for the sake of this article), I’m not complaining about these trends and not too many others are either. If the hip and cool “I don’t care” look is going to give me that extra fifteen minutes of sleep in the morning, I’m down.

1. Baseball Hats

This accessory, which at one point was the epitome of laziness and bad hair days, has become a trend we've all used to our advantage at least once. On mornings where you sleep in a little too late and don't have time to wash your hair, just pop on one of these bad boys and continue on your way.

2. High Waisted Pants and Skirts


Why take the time and energy to hit the gym when you can cover up that extra little pudge with a pair of high-waisted anythings? I recommend the loose, mom-style jeans, which leave enough room to comfortably complete your daily tasks.

3. Turtlenecks and Large Sweaters


Wear it to bed the night before, go braless, whatever you want. The oversized turtleneck makes it look like you put in some effort when you actually just threw it on while walking out the door.

4. "Ugly" Dad Clothes


Who knew that your dad's socks and sandals would make a comeback? Not only his signature choice of footwear, but the button up shirts, the khaki pants, the fanny packs... at least they provide an easy back-up when your closet looks too dull.

5. Thrifting/Vintage Items


Though "vintage" may have an intimidating, expensive connotation, your mom's abstract sweater from the 80's could officiate your vintage look. Easy Peasy.

6. Cute Athletic Gear


Just when we didn't think it could get any better, leggings became cool. Not only can you walk around in the closest thing to no pants as possible, you can also wear gems like oversized t-shirts, sweatshirts, and windbreakers to complete the look.

7. Ripped Jeans and/or Mom Jeans


They're basically sweatpants, but they look cooler. That's all.

8. Messy, Chopped Hairstyles


Ditch your strict hair washing schedule and expensive treatments or masks. The textured, messy bob is in, meaning you barely have to wash, brush, or maintain your new chopped do.

9. Oversized Shirts as Dresses


Another instance that gives you the option of sleeping in tomorrow's outfit. A look without pants always trumps a look with pants.

10. Glasses

There was a time when we wouldn't be caught dead with glasses on, but the circular-rimmed or clear-rimmed frames have made the term "four-eyes" a little cooler. This trend eliminates contact-related eye irritation and could cut your morning routine down by a few minutes.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Your eyes widen in horror as you stare at your phone. Beads of sweat begin to saturate your palm as your fingers tremble in fear. The illuminated screen reads, "Missed Call: Mom."

Growing up with strict parents, you learn that a few things go unsaid. Manners are everything. Never talk back. Do as you're told without question. Most importantly, you develop a system and catch on to these quirks that strict parents have so that you can play their game and do what you want.

"Friends" maybe didn’t have everything right or realistic all the time, but they did have enough episodes to create countless reaction GIFs and enough awesomeness to create, well, the legacy they did. Something else that is timeless, a little rough, but memorable? Living away from the comforts of home. Whether you have an apartment, a dorm, your first house, or some sort of residence that is not the house you grew up in, I’m sure you can relate to most of these!

There is nothing quite like family.

Family is kinda like that one ex that you always find yourself running back to (except without all the regret and the angsty breakup texts that come along with it).

No matter how long your class is, there's always time for the mind to wander. Much like taking a shower or trying to fall asleep, sitting in a classroom can be a time when you get some of your best ideas. But, more than likely, you're probably just trying to mentally cope with listening to a boring lecturer drone on and on. Perhaps some of the following Aristotle-esque thoughts have popped into your head during class.

Bob's Burgers is arguably one of the best and most well-written shows on tv today. That, and it's just plain hilarious. From Louise's crazy antics to Tina's deadpan self-confidence, whether they are planning ways to take over school or craft better burgers, the Belchers know how to have fun. They may not be anywhere close to organized or put together, but they do offer up some wise words once and awhile.
