What's Happening?
The go-see outfit trend, popularized by America's Next Top Model, has resurfaced on TikTok. Traditionally, these outfits are simple, form-fitting, and chic, designed to present models as blank slates during meetings with casting agents and designers. The trend's resurgence is seen as a response to the overwhelming fashion choices promoted by social media algorithms. However, there is concern that the trend may inadvertently promote a narrow body ideal, reminiscent of early 2000s fashion culture, which emphasized thinness.

Why It's Important?
The revival of go-see outfits on TikTok highlights ongoing issues related to body image and diet culture in social media. As these trends gain popularity, they can influence public perceptions of beauty and self-worth, potentially exacerbating issues related to body dysmorphia and eating disorders. The trend's focus on minimalism and neutrality may offer relief from fashion fatigue, but it also risks reinforcing outdated beauty standards that prioritize thinness over diversity and inclusivity.
