Is History the Ultimate Trendsetter? 🏛️✨

It’s wild how “obsessed” everyone’s suddenly become with the Roman Empire. Can we talk about yesterday in the lounge? Chloe was absolutely buzzing about the trend, throwing questions my way like, “Why is everyone so into it?” Honestly, it’s everywhere on my feed lately — people naming emperors, talking about stoicism, showing off togas. But the best part? Oliver just sat there cool as ever and dropped the most unexpected take.

He goes, “Maybe because it’s the original ‘quiet luxury’?” Like, no branded handbags, just marble columns and perfectly cut tunics. That hit hard. I never thought about history like hidden prestige, but it’s so true — what was elite back then feels almost timeless now. There’s something academic-chic about appreciating the classics, right? It’s less about showing off and more about knowing.

And Chloe, always on point, wraps it up with: “History is just the ultimate influencer.” Couldn’t agree more! Forget microtrends, the Roman Empire literally shaped half the stuff we see and wear today. So, yeah, next time someone asks why we’re obsessed with old rulers, just remember — quiet luxury and OG influencer vibes aren’t new. We’re just catching up.

Hot tip: If you want to look like you know what’s up, drop some Latin and wear a wristwatch that looks like it could’ve belonged to Cicero. Academic-chic is officially a thing.
