I think the thing that baffles me most with personal style and the fact that everyone is following what the next man is doing. Is the relentless pace that they all move onto the next thing.
Do they ever even actually like what they’re wearing or are they just wearing it because it’s the latest cool thing?
Nobody seems comfortable in their own skin, and some even openly acknowledge that everything they do is trend driven. Which to a degree has always been the case but at least previously was routed in culture.
There's no way to sound like anything but the old bore who believes things were better in their day, BUT... What we're experiencing feels like a pull in different directions by two very different generations...
Gen-Z seemingly value speed due to a short attention span... consumption of the disposable extends beyond their smart phones, and unfortunately to their wardrobes.
loved this, a sunday reset for sure. there’s a huge discourse on personal style which is worth further dissection. let’s have a chat
