A young Cuban woman has become a hot topic on TikTok after sharing a video detailing a dramatic shift in her fashion sense. She has moved away from flashy outfits adorned with brand logos, gold chains, and ripped jeans to embrace the "old money" and "quiet luxury" styles that are currently setting trends in the fashion world.
“As a Cuban, I used to believe that dressing well meant wearing brand logos, tight and ripped jeans, lots of gold, and the bigger the chains, the better," she explained in the video posted on her TikTok account, @yamis.jr. "I grew up thinking this was the way to dress until I discovered the old money and quiet luxury styles, which completely transformed my wardrobe choices."
The video starts with her showcasing a typical ostentatious look: a branded cap, gold chains, and tight pants. She then transitions into various elegant outfits that emphasize subtlety, sleek cuts, and understated accessories, achieving a sophisticated flair that many online users praised.
“I am proudly Cuban, and I want to show that Cubans have great taste, too. I teach other girls how to elevate their style with class and elegance,” she added.
The outfits she displays include combinations of wide-brimmed hats, fresh linen blouses, loose-fitting pants in light colors, and minimalist handbags, contrasting sharply with the glitz and excess of her initial ensemble.
The video has garnered hundreds of comments, many applauding the transformation and the message it conveys. “I hope it goes viral so some people in Miami can learn about class and distinction,” one user remarked, while others emphasized that true style is about elegance and good taste, beyond brand names.
