Why Gen Z Is Over Aesthetic Perfection – And We Love That

There was a time when perfection ruled the internet—feeds were curated, filters were fixed, and your fashion had to match your mood board. Fast forward to 2025, and that world feels dead. Gen Z has officially moved past the pressure to be picture-perfect. What they’re chasing now is something raw, unfiltered, and deeply personal: chaotic self-expression.

At Bağlama, we’re not just watching the change—we're built on it. Our designs are born from late-night ideas, impulsive choices, and real-life chaos. Because guess what? That’s what being Gen Z actually looks like. It’s not symmetry, it’s not beige-on-beige, and it’s definitely not playing safe.

The Death of the Aesthetic Feed

If you scroll through Gen Z profiles today, you're more likely to find messy photo dumps than filtered selfies. There’s a random mirror pic from two months ago, a half-eaten pizza, a screenshot of a song, and somewhere in there—an outfit that breaks every fashion “rule.”

The old aesthetic formula? It’s giving recycled.
Now it’s about:

• Pairing cargos with Crocs.

• Oversized everything.

• Clashing prints and proud of it.

• Looking like chaos—but intentionally.

That’s where Bağlama comes in. Our fits aren’t about blending in—they’re about standing out. We design for those who don’t want to look like the next influencer clone. We’re for the ones who throw on a bold tee, unmatch it with pants, and still walk with the confidence of a runway model.

Perfection is Out. Personality is In.

The problem with perfection? It’s boring. It boxes you in. And Gen Z doesn’t do boxes.

Our generation wants to be seen for who they are—mood swings, playlist changes, outfit switches and all. That’s why fashion today is more personal than ever. It’s not about what’s trending—it’s about what feels you.

You want to wear a tee that says “I’m not Rihanna, I don’t love the way you lie”? Do it. You want puff prints, Hindi fonts, diamonds, and drama? Welcome to Bağlama. We celebrate the mismatch, the unpredictability, the loud and the soft all in one fit.
