Laughter as Woman Tries To Rid Closet of Anything That 'Screams Millennial'

Two sisters' wardrobe sort-out has gone viral for their unusual system to decide whether to keep or get rid of clothing items.

Gen Z-er Kaitlyn Moore was tasked by her older sister to clean out the latter's wardrobe and "get rid of anything that screams 'millennial'"— a request that she took seriously. The resulting fashion debate was posted by Moore to TikTok on her account, @sassandcellulite—where it has proven to be a hit with viewers.

After sorting through the wardrobe, the content creator then presented her picks and the sisters made a final decision of which clothes made the cut, and which were just a touch too 'millennial.'

The pair went through Moore's selections as her sister decided whether or not she was willing to part with her loved items in the name of fashion.

Unfortunately, despite being sisters, the duo didn't exactly agree as to what constitutes a 'millennial' item, as the sister vetoed Moore's first victim—a tiered maxi dress—saying: "I would keep that one. We're off to a good start."

When it came to their reasoning as to what makes an item too "millennial," the sisters didn't seem to have a specific formula, instead accessing each item on a case-by-case basis.

There were a few items the sisters began to clash over, including a plaid shirt that Moore said could only stay for "dress up purposes," despite her sister thinking that "it's cute".

The pair continued to sort through the selection, with Moore telling her sister "good job" after they put the last item into the 'get rid' pile.

What Do the Comments Say?

The comments section under the video saw users laughing at the relatable video, as one user wrote: "The millennial gasp watching you toss a burnt orange duster cardigan."

"'You can keep it for dress up purposes' is so real," added a second.

One user picked up on how having someone else do the initial sort out is a great way to push you to let go of old items, as they wrote "This is a great strategy, i need to go through my wardobes but I need thay second judgy, pushy opinion. great job and I hope the get rid pile is donated!"

One user touched on how quickly trend cycles move, as they wrote: "The funny part is millennial fashion will be popular again in the not so distant future."
