What is the stereotype of girls/women who wear Alice bands/headbands?

I saw an insta post yesterday that was making fun of people who wear them. It also mentioned other really specific things that my girlf wears (Hobbs pleated skirts and shirts from White Stuff.)
I know I shouldn’t get too bothered about this but it’s upsetting knowing people think what my girlf wears is lame/silly.
(The post wasn’t directly about my girlf, just people like her I suppose. It seemed to be saying that she is some kind of ‘stupid posh white girl’ but I’m not too sure.)

Why is it upsetting at all? The Internet at large has stupid opinions all the time then changes its mind on a whim.

You literally don't have to care and I'm sure she's lovely as she is. 🤷🏾

Yes, I know you’re right and that I shouldn’t dwell too much on it. I know it’s a bit shallow, but style/fashion is really important to both of us and the thought that people are mocking her does hurt a little bit. I’ll try to be strong and ignore it though. Thankyou. @DancingStarGoddess

Make an article out of nothing. As you say Strongtea it’s shallow and we should not encourage it
