Fashion is a mix of trends, vibes, and that “it” factor we can’t quite explain. Maybe it’s a killer outfit that started it all, or a color everyone suddenly loves. But how is it that an album cover or an influencer’s quick makeup tip can shake up our wardrobes? Let’s get into it and see what’s up with these two opposite, yet irresistible styles.

First up: Brat. British pop star Charli XCX, known for her bold moves, decided to ditch convention and roll out her latest album cover with a green background and just one word in plain black Arial. Boom! Instant rebellion. And now, the “Brat” trend was born, pushing lime green to the front of the line in designer collections everywhere.

Then there’s Demure. This one started with a video from content creator Jools Lebron, who broke down how to keep makeup fresh (even when you’re sweating!) and suggested a look that’s “a little more modest.” People loved it, and soon enough, everyone was talking about this “low-key chic” vibe.

Brat Style: If you’re feeling edgy and free, go for the Brat vibe! Think a snug white Gucci top, Burberry black pants, and lime green Hermes kicks. Add some black Prada shades, a Chanel necklace, a Dior cap, and a Burberry lime green crossbody to make it extra.

Demure Style: For those who want to keep it classy and sophisticated, Demure has you covered. Picture a crisp white Valentino tee, wide-leg pants, a Dior coat, and Valentino sneakers. Keep the accessories minimal yet chic with a Chanel watch, sleek Chanel sunglasses, and a Dior backpack.

These styles might be worlds apart, but both have their charm. So… are you Team Brat or Team Demure?
