Anne Curtis on embracing ageless fashion: “Don’t dress for likes”

• Anne Curtis reminded her followers that fashion should be about personal satisfaction, not seeking approval
• In an Instagram story, the actress reposted a quote emphasizing that many ’90s kids still wear what they love, regardless of trends or age
• The message described age-based fashion rules as outdated and limiting
• The actress and celebrity mom then echoed the sentiment and urged people to embrace self-expression and not to let the desire for approval dictate their wardrobe

Anne Curtis recently took to social media to share her thoughts on the evolving mindset around fashion and self-expression, particularly among those who grew up in the ’90s.

In her Instagram story, the actress and television host reposted a quote highlighting how many ’90s kids are still confidently embracing low-rise jeans and minidresses—styles once reserved for younger ones—and questioning why age should dictate what people wear.

“Many of us '90s kids are still confidently- rocking whatever we want-low-rise jeans, minidresses. It's like we collectively skipped the moment when we were supposed to 'dress like adults,' and instead kept using fashion as a form of self-expression. Why should age determine what we can and can't wear? That mindset feels not just limiting, but severely outdated. - @elleusa and tinx”
