Bootcut bootcut and thrice bootcut. Let John Cooper Clarke get on with his own thing and the rest of us can enjoy the breeze.
I keep reading stuff at the moment about how Gen Z are now mocking millennials for our love of skinny jeans and side-parted hair. The skinny jeans I can sort of understand, as they're definitely synonymous with a particular generation and they did become a bit of a uniform (though apparently the rationale behind the scorn is that they're not inclusive of diverse body shapes - whereas I'd argue that fitted, stretchy jeans can actually be quite flattering on fuller figures).
But side partings? That seems like such an inoffensive thing to target, it's just quite a universally flattering hairstyle on most face shapes and hair types. I guess all the kids have centre parts these days then? Hard to pull off unless you've got very symmetrical features.
Pretty much anything which was fashionable in the 90s-to-early-00s has been having a resurgence for some time now, though (the majority of listings on fashion reseller site Depop seem to have #Y2K hashtags) - the cynical view would be that's because the people now in charge of dictating trends are of a generation where that's what was trendy when they were young, but I dunno, I guess everything just goes in circles inevitably.
