They’ve got copy paste taste.
It’s the scourge of Gen Zs on the NYC scene. Rather than being seen as fashionably unique, they’ve all conformed to the overdone “Gen Z uniform.”
“How many people does it take to wear a leather jacket with blue jeans?” Christian Zubidi, a Manhattan content creator, questioned while filming a flock of female twentysomethings sporting the stale style near Fifth Avenue.
Yes, the sin against voguish individuality was committed mere steps away from the hallowed grounds of the city’s most haute thoroughfare.
But, to be fair, similar personal style crimes are happening everywhere.
Late fashion greats likely turned over in their graves after a pack of young women in Alabama were caught dressed in light-wash jeans, dark-colored tops and white sneakers last fall.
The faux pas sent critics spiraling, with millennials and Gen Xers over age 30 leading the online outrage.
“I can’t believe I sound like an old-timer, but it’s wild how everyone dresses the same now! We may have dressed badly, but at least we had some PERSONALITY!,” barked an unimpressed onlooker.
“This is every city. Every bar. Jeans, black top, forces,” groaned another.
The Big Apple wannabes earned a nearly identical (how fitting) rebuke from virtual cynics who, too, were left underwhelmed by their matching outerwear.
“That is not the NY I grew up in. Where tf is the fashion!!!?,” cried a native naysayer.
“[It’s] the infamous Gen Z uniform,” another spat.
“I call that the Zara parade,” chimed a carper, taking a light jab at fashion retailers’ recent revamp of the uninspired “jeans and a nice top” trend.
The rants and rebukes come just days after NYC influencers were virally deemed “boring,” owing to their indistinguishable savior-faire.
“They’re all boring as f- -k,” sneered TikTok creator @MartiniFeeny. “They’re all carbon copies of one another. They all look like they shop at Revolve.”
Chelsea Vaughn, a Gotham-based alum of “The Bachelor” agreed, weighing in with her critique of Gen Z’s dime-a-dozen duds.
“When did all the girls start dressing exactly alike?” she wondered. “It’s giving uniform.”
“I was sitting at a bar and I saw 10 girls, a gaggle of girls walk in together, and they looked identical,” added Vaughn.
“I feel sad for them,” she captioned the clip. “Fashion is supposed to be an expression of who you are.”
“That’s why they call it PERSONAL style.”
