You’re officially old if you wear these shoes when on a night out, according to Gen Z

Gen Z have set a new fashion trend which would make the 90s turn in its grave

A clip has gone viral after it showed an entire venue of girls wearing one kind of shoe... and if you wear the opposite, well, apparently you're old AF.

Gen Z love making us feel like we were born amongst dinosaurs, but a viral clip has actually made millennials re-think what they believe to be fashionable.

In fact, the trend has seen 90s babies say they 'wouldn't be seen dead' in the trendy item that the Gen Z girls are all rocking.

During a time before smartphones and social media, it was almost guaranteed you would see women lining the streets on a Saturday night, clutching their high heels because their feet were too sore to walk.

And it seems as though Gen Z are learning from those mistakes - choosing to opt for pure comfort.

And no, they're not clubbing in their slippers.

Gen Z seem to have but the old-age trend behind them, and have all been seen wearing the same outfit: A nice top, jeans, and trainers.

And it's backed up by fact too, as recent data shows that the sale of flats and low-heels have soared in recent years as interest in high-heels has dwindled.

The comments on the recent viral video – shared by TikTok user @amandaleefarinaa – have taken millennial women by storm, calling for a return of getting 'dolled up'.


A comment which had 20,000 likes read: "OMG I would have hated this when I was in my 20s.

"The best part of going out was getting all dolled up."

A second said: "I remember when we couldn’t enter a nightclub if we had jeans on."

A third millennial added: "Fashion has definitely changed, I’m 35 and when we used to go out clubbing it was mini dresses and the tallest heels going even when it was snowing outside.”

But not all of them were offended by the flat footwear choice, as some appreciated the practicality.

One shared: "As a ‘91 girl who HATED wearing heels in the 00s, I salute these young girls and I mimic them with every fibre of my being.

"Just let me enjoy my night in comfort. Thank you."

Another said: "They look so comfy and still cute. I don’t miss my feet aching after the club."

And whilst the death of the high-heel is a sad reality, I think we can all agree that they have never been the comfiest option!

No pain no gain, as they say.
