It seems as though this tribal trend has been around for a minute, and I am positively in love. If it were up to me, it could stay forever. Maybe it’s my country roots and all the time spent playing around in the forest that draws me to this particular type of fashion. I think I could dress like this for the rest of my life.
I like the whole vibe of being over accessorized and yet still comfortable.
And still you can take it to the streets. This is a modernized version, that shows it’s cool to wear everywhere!

Lovelies, what do you think of tribal? Would you, or do you wear it?

Yes. Yes I would and could.

The bright colors in the illustrations are not “tribal”. They are Native American.

@sometimestheycomebackanyway@xanga - For once I agree with you.

I don’t like the term “tribal” and I don’t like this trend, I think it’s taking someone’s cultural roots and making them tacky.
guest
@colorMEpurple2@xanga - well said.

This misuse of words is kind of annoying but I love the patterns and colors.
guest
I wouldnt wear it

There’s way too much patterns and colours in the “tribal” stuff for my liking.
guest
I don’t know if tribal is quite the word to describe this trend, but I mostly go for simple things so I probably won’t wear any of those items. BUT, this trend is not just for clothes, I’ve seen similar prints on rugs and home decorating fabrics, such as for curtains and upholstery.

the traditional headpiece = not good. Cultural appropriation isn’t okay.
I’m okay with “tribal inspired” pieces, but I’m definitely not okay with traditional patterns used by various tribes being repurposed for a trend. Quite frequently those patterns have an alternate meaning to the original culture (like the headpiece does), and repurposing that pattern (or garment) with no regard to the traditional meaning is disrespectful. There was actually a piece done about cultural appropriation on Lovelyish a while ago, which would be good to revisit. Stores like Urban Outfitters are being sued by Native American tribes for improper use of patterns and clothing names. It does matter.
I’d maybe wear the inspired stuff, but count me out of the traditional patterns. Cultures aren’t fashion trends.

I’m not sure I could pull it off.

I enjoy wearing clothes and designs from other cultures than my own. So I do like some of these pieces, though others are a bit much.
guest
I’ve seen a lot of these pieces around school on staff and students. Never really liked them.
guest
pretty!

Very cute and stylish, but definitely easy to go overboard with.

Not particularly. I’m more minimalistic when it comes to clothing and accessories. I don’t like too many bright colours, and I don’t like bold prints. Also, not a fan of the geometric lines. So… nay for me personally, but I think other people can pull it off okay.

I don’t like the tribal tattoo trend, but as far as clothing goes, it’s not really my opinion as to whether or not I like it. As far as tattoos go, it’s not my opinion as to whether or not I like it either, but I really hate the white suburbia trend of tribal tattoos.

‘has been around for a minute’ what is with that saying?!
i’m not going to freak out over what you call ‘tribal’. i like the trend but not everyone can pull it off. i can only get a couple pieces before i just look dumb.
