Most Millennials call themselves fashionable in 2021

Despite an onslaught of attacks on Millennial fashion trends (think: skinny jeans and middle parts), the generation is keeping its head held high.

A YouGov poll of 2,349 Americans finds that Millennials (55%) are the most likely generation to call themselves very fashionable (20%) or somewhat fashionable (35%). The younger age group, Generation Z, is generally split on whether or not to call themselves fashionable: 46% say they are, while 40% say they are not.

Older Americans appear to believe that they are not very fashionable, or not fashionable at all. About two in five Gen X’ers (38%) call themselves fashionable, while a majority of this generation say they are not (55%). Three in 10 Baby Boomers (29%) believe they should be considered fashionable, but two-thirds (67%) do not think this is the case.
