War — what is it good for? Fashionably stuntin’, according to tone deaf Gen Zers.
Committed to looking bomb amid the mounting friction between the US and Iran, carefree clotheshorses are curating cutesy “World War III” ensembles ahead of the potential bloodshed.
“What I’m wearing to WW3,” Paulina, a NYC influencer, wrote in the closed-captions of a vid, donning an oversized military camouflage shirt.
Following a few quick ‘fit changes, the platinum blond went on to pose in a camo-inspired bikini, meant to “distract the enemy,” before flaunting mini shorts paired with a chunky belt, a brown one-shoulder shirt and an army fatigue jacket.
As a posh pièce de résistance, she closed the virtual fashion show in camo-colored pants with a matching baseball cap, a chocolate crop top and flip flops.

Christina, a stay-at-home mom of two, turned cyber heads with her World War III gear.
However, unfortunately for the fashion plate, her call-of-duty-inspired cosplay also turned a few stomachs.
“Do you realize how sick and messed up in the head you have to be to come up with stuff like this?” questioned a commenter beneath Christina’s post.
