Pulling out parents' clothes and heading to a vintage clothing store: The current state of high school girls

Recently, my eldest daughter has started to prefer conservative, elegant, older-sister-style clothes, which I find a bit uninteresting.
I don't find any appeal in the mass-produced fashion that seems to be everywhere, but at the same time, she's not at an age where I can force my preferences on her.
Seventeen.

Ah, what was I like at 17?
I still had long hair, and while I did seek individuality in my clothes, it might have been a time when I still felt the comfort of being like everyone else.
After being dumped by a boy at 18, I chopped my hair off, just like in a manga.
A pretty short, short cut.

From there, my world changed completely.
Yes, for some reason, I even got a boyfriend.

My impressionable daughter suddenly announced she was going to an American Village vintage store with her friends to buy clothes for her school trip, and started rummaging through my and my husband's clothes one after another.

My husband is a Harley-riding painter.
He also has various Harley-Davidson T-shirts that look like they could be sold at a vintage store in American Village. (He just wore them out, though ^^;)

Among them, the one my daughter chose was a KENZO GOLF knit vest I wore about 25 years ago.

The colorful hues were fun, and I even brought this along to a one-week training camp for new apparel employees.
I think I wore it over a white stand-collar shirt with navy suit bottoms. Ah, the nostalgia.

The female instructor (SV) at the time was a former KENZO children's wear designer and before that a KENZO sales clerk, so she immediately called out, "That's KENZO, right!" and was very happy.

Since then, it hadn't seen much action and had been tucked away for about 20 years, but I couldn't bring myself to throw it away every time I decluttered.
My super-conservative high school daughter was rummaging through her parents' clothes because she figured she couldn't go to American Village in her usual fashion.

And in the end, she combined the outfit below (all my clothes) with a red Jouetie short down jacket (daughter's personal item -> I bought it online a few years ago), and for shoes, despite my various suggestions (I pushed for Nike Air Max, she wanted Uniqlo heeled short boots), she chose black boots, and for the bag, a unique bag I bought in Florence a long time ago.

I was a little relieved that my daughter understands TPO (Time, Place, Occasion) well. Clothes have a large part of their value in being appropriate for the setting.

And although she said, "I'll just go and find something," vintage stores are usually on the upper floors of buildings and hard to find, so I gave her advice on which ones she should go to after looking them up online.

And the one she liked best out of what she bought was this

Surprisingly, it was a suede-style coat from Kashiyama's Gotairiku (men's).
It certainly suited her and was cute.
It's an old man's brand, so I was deeply moved that young people wear things like this!

The vintage store I recommended, Chappelu, is a very popular shop with low prices, good items, and great staff, and apparently, she had to wait an hour and a half to get in. On a weekday!

And this coat was also in really good condition and cost about 1,600 yen.

I couldn't help but think that the vintage clothes in the shops these kids go to might be sleeping in the back of our house or at grandpa's place.
