Detected Manipulations & Suggested Changes

Sensationalism

Use of sensational language to create excitement or interest.

The phrases 'viral summertime style,' 'hot season’s hottest look,' and 'ultra-informal movement' sensationalize the trend.

Describe the trend in a more neutral tone without using superlatives or buzzwords.

Appeal to emotion

Attempting to manipulate an emotional response in place of a valid or compelling argument.

The article repeatedly mentions being 'stressed out' while drinking iced coffee, which plays on the emotional state associated with the trend rather than the trend itself.

Focus on the details of the trend without emphasizing the emotional state of the individuals.

Biased language

Using language that is not neutral and shows author's preferences.

Terms like 'ever-edgy,' 'unfussy fits,' and 'plainclothes panache' show a positive bias towards the trend.

Use neutral descriptors for the clothing style and avoid language that implies a judgment.
