The TikTok Fashion Starter Pack: Why Is Everyone Wearing the Same Thing?

I, like a majority of the people who are currently trying to make the most of our newfound time indoors, have officially joined TikTok. Will I blame my boredom or general curiosity of the generation beneath me? Maybe two weeks ago I would have, but after fully becoming addicted to the app, I can officially say that I get it. If you have yet to download the app, I highly suggest you do. That is unless you don't enjoy laughing, connecting with friends, and staying up until 3 a.m. learning dances that rarely ever make your feed. Just me? Okay.

As I said, I am new to the app, but it took barely any time at all for me to realize that most of these TikTokers (also known as "creators") wear almost exactly the same thing in every video. At first, I thought I was just being served an algorithm of twinning teens simply because I kept watching the same dance videos over and over again, but as I expanded my TikTok knowledge, it became very clear: There is an unofficial uniform that these TikTok stars have been wearing since day one, and I was on a mission to dissect it trend by trend. There is a definite vibe going on—from the oversize clothing to the obscene amounts of tie-dye. Today, I'm going to shop out the seven biggest fashion trends that are dominating the TikTok scene.

TikTokers legitimately love anything that's tie-dye. Be it an at-home tie-dying tutorial or a head-to-toe tie-dye sweatsuit, these creators have proven it's their go-to TikTok look.

If they aren't wearing high-rise leggings (which we will get to) or sweatpants, TikTokers are almost always seen wearing ripped jeans. The reason? Unknown. But scroll through your For You page for less than one minute and you're bound to see multiple videos featuring distressed denim.

Ahh, yes, here it is—the crop-top section. TikTokers love crop tops. Even if you are still figuring out what this app even is, you probably already guessed that this trend was going to pop up at some point in this story. 

When it comes to sweatshirts, the bigger, the better. Maybe it's because chill loungewear is the unofficial uniform of TikTokers everywhere, or maybe it's because big sweatshirts look cool while you're dancing, but either way, if you're considering buying one, size way up. 

Speaking of athleisure, leggings are displayed in excess on the app. But not just any leggings—high-waisted ones. In my opinion, this is due to the fact that crop tops are popular with this audience, and we all know high-rise leggings look great with a crop top. 

The sneakers are always white. From Nike's to Vans to Converse, the rise of classic sneakers has dominated the sartorial TikTok scene, and considering the rest of the trends we've noted so far, we aren't surprised by this footwear choice. 

This might just be the most random trend of all, but it's one we couldn't help but notice all the two-tone clothing on TikTok. Both spliced fabrics and colors have caught on as quite the trend, and due to the eye-catching nature of this trend, it's easy to see why these content creators love it. 

Next up, shop the five fall trends this 50-year-old influencer is looking forward to wearing next season.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
