Guess what’s back?!

Guess what’s back?! Did we finally hit the crop top limit? After years of tops getting shorter while pants get higher, there is simply nowhere higher for our tops to go. SO I’m calling it now: Tank tops are back.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates) The history of the tank Did you know the tank top originally started as a swimming tank for women in the early 1900s? It didn’t become a shirt you actually wear outside, not just as an undershirt, until the 1950s! Then, the 90s brought a massive wave of minimalism and a huuuge tank top upgrade. Annnd who here remembers tank over tank over tank of the 2000s. Yeah, tank tops just kept getting longer and we wore them with super low-rise jeans, until the 2010s when we started doing the total opposite. We went from peplums to crops. All of this to say… the fashion pendulum is constantly swinging, and in 2026 the tank top is finally back back! The Popflex Twisty Top GO WITH THE FLOW TWISTY TOP I’ve been fighting for my life for sooo long to design a tank top that looks cool. I loved the asymmetrical, Greek Goddess vibe, so I decided to take that and… Popflexify it. I’m wearing the Popflex Twisty Top and I’m not saying this top is revolutionary but omg it makes my life sooo much easier! It has a built-in bra, and it would have been a whooole thing without one. And obvi I love the off the shoulder moment. I love the look of this with jeans orrr with matching Go With the Flow Pants if you love a set like I do! Ok so what do you think? Are you here for the return of tank tops? Did we finally hit the crop top limit? After years of tops getting shorter while pants get higher, there is simply nowhere higher for our tops to go.

Sooo are we gauchoing?

Sooo are we gauchoing? This is a serious and very controversial topic, but we gotta talk about it. It began with hauntings from my past, all over the internet. I tried to ignore and hoped it would never get to this point. But it’s getting out of control, so I must ask… have you seen WIDE-LEGGED CAPRIS starting to trend?! Um. Gauchos. Those are gauchos.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates) I used to wear gauchos in high school or college (not sure because I blocked that out) but omg the way they would trunkate my leg. No no nooo it was so bad but I had no idea until we were out of the trend and I looked back at pics. Literally a stump. And now the 2000s are here and they brought gauchos back sooo I tested a new prototype JUST IN CASE. Not saying I’m fully on board, just wanna be prepared. So please tell me. Are we doing this?! Are we gauchoing? If yes, do you like the right side or the left side better?  This is a serious and very controversial topic, but we gotta talk about it. It began with hauntings from my past, all over the internet. I tried to ignore and… Cassey{authorlink}https://www.blogilates.com/blog/are-we-gauchoing/Blogilates The official blog of Cassey Ho https://i0.wp.com/www.blogilates.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/fav-1.png?fit=32%2C32&ssl=1

We need to talk about the low-rise trend

We need to talk about the low-rise trend Did you know fashion trends recycle every 20ish years? And many times, new or returning trends signal some kind of societal shift. Remember my wide-leg sweatpant theory?! Today, I have another fashion history/trend deep dive for you… one that more people need to be talking about.   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates) Low-rise is back And we love! So cute. But this trend’s return from the 00s may not be as innocent as it seems. Do you remember what else was in style the last time low-rise jeans were in? Let me give you a hint. Do you see it? I had a suspicion that the return of low-rise is a signal that beauty standards have shifted yet again. I felt like the correlation was correlating… SO I went onto Google Trends and typed in two of the hottest things that people are talking about right now, juuust to see if there was a correlation. And guess what I found?   Just as the low-rise trend has gained popularity, so has interest in GLP-1s. If you’re thinking noo no that’s just a coincidence… I found more. As interest in Pilates has trended up over the last 5 years, searches for how to get a bigger butt have decreased. The searches are proving that slimmer physiques are trending… again. Do fashion AND beauty standards cycle? We know fashion recycles itself, but I’m surprised to see us going back to the harmful body trends of the 2000s. It’s only been 10 years since Kim K. literally broke the internet with her curvy physique and made that the IT body type. Today, with the return of the VS Fashion Show, it’s clear that thin is in. My question All of this makes me wonder: If fashion is a reflection of society, then what is it saying about us? What do you think? Did you know fashion trends recycle every 20ish years? And many times, new or returning trends signal some kind of societal shift. Remember my wide-leg sweatpant theory?! Today, I have… Cassey{authorlink}https://www.blogilates.com/blog/low-rise-trend-beauty-standards/Blogilates The official blog of Cassey Ho https://i0.wp.com/www.blogilates.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/fav-1.png?fit=32%2C32&ssl=1

The POPFLEX Y2K Cargo Pant is here!   View this post on Instagram   A post shared by Cassey Ho (@blogilates) SHOP Y2K CARGO PANTS   Clothes should work FOR your body. Not AGAINST it. The low rise trend is so unfortunate for someone like me who just doesn’t have the flat abs you see on many models wearing this style. I wanted the Y2K Cargo Pants to work on fellow soft hip girlies without being too pinchy, too high rise or too low rise. I wanted them WIDE to avoid looking like men’s work pants. And I wanted the length to work for everyone… so 3 inseams it is! Also noteworthy: Stretchy, water-resistant technical fabric that won’t snag 7 pockets to hold your actual cargo V-waistband to accentuate your waist Elongating leg seams Non-baggy butt I seriously cannot believe the initial designing started on June 3, 2022! That’s 3 YEARS AGO OMG. I was losing hope along the development journey…thinking that cargo pants would be out of style by the time we figured this out! It was a toughie. But glad we made it. SHOP Y2K CARGO PANTS   I am 5’5” wearing the small, regular inseam! Get your normal sz if you plan to wear it high waisted! If you have extra soft hips and want to wear this low and extra baggy, it would be ok to size up! She comes in XXS-3X and 3 inseams from petite to tall! Let me know if you have any fit questions! I hope you love! Soft hip girlies rejoice. This one’s for us.
