A: Are you sure that you want to wear that tank top and miniskirt to the party?

B: Do you suggest that I’ve put on weight?

A: No. You look great, but I think there’s been a vibe shift.

Note: This term, coined by a trend forecaster and brand consultant named Sean Monahan, refers to a change in the popular trends in fashion, music and culture. For example: What are people wearing? What are people reading? What are people doing for fun? Vibe shift is less about the exact clothes or shoes we’ll wear and more about a sensibility, or vibe.
