Netz-à-porter – outfits ready to wear for your sims (no CC required)

That actually never bothered me about the careers. After having some fun with it, I just created some rather neutral outfits both for male and female and I am fine with occasionally seeing those around. And my Trend Setter Sim is very special to me and will never die as long as I play this save. So it really depends on the playstyle whether setting trends becomes a problem. If someone has an issue with this, the Stylist career is definitely the better choice. You can't even create trends in that branch until you're level 10.
