\u201cAs soon as we got back from anywhere I\u2019d want to take his clothes off, not for freaky purposes but so I didn’t have to see him in that damn football shirt he refused to never not wear, really I should’ve really known that from his profile.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Phoebe Miller*, 22, started to realise the subtle ick she would get in her last relationship mainly came from what she now knows as \u2018the swag gap\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The term, coined by Gen Z, across social media platforms such as TikTok, means being in a relationship with style mismatch or being with someone with a lack of individual flair. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNow, there’s nothing wrong with prioritising comfort in outfits but when it gets to the point where I’m begging him to wear a pair of jeans it’s a turn off. I\u2019d consider it my lucky day if he was wearing a regular tshirt,\u201d she says<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIts nice if they have their own vibe going on, nothing too complicated, maybe just a jumper, I like to think I understand aesthetics however, my ex-boyfriend didn\u2019t whatsoever and it showed in his outfits where I just felt like I was outswagging him.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The \u2018swaggap\u2019 relationship trend has seen thousands of posts across Tiktok and other social channels, with some users even rating the gap between celebrity couples such as Justin and Hailey Bieber.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
