Dear Allison,
Gen-Zers on TikTok are saying some of my fashion choices are “cringe.” Is it really a crime to show my ankles?! Please help me navigate these uncharted waters. I don’t want to be perceived by baggy jean-wearing, Labubu-carrying college kids.
Sincerely,
An aspiring cool millennial
Hi fashion friend,
First off, from one millennial to another, I’m sure you look a lot cooler than you think you do. Second off, try not to get too wrapped up in this internet conversation about what is considered “cringe” and what is not. We all know trends are cyclical, things go in and out of style all the time and that’s just the way the fashion industry works. But I don’t think that means we should always be striving for timelessness — it’s pigeon-holing us.
I have so many clients, especial
