Millennials and Gen Z Are Finally In Agreement—This is the Pretty Top Trend They're Both Buying Now
Anyone with family or friends who span the Gen Z and millennial divide will be able to attest to the profound difference in preferences between the two, with styling also coming into play here. While the older camp has a deep penchant for capsule wardrobes and sharp tailoring, the younger cohort has found their style in an era of microtrends and "cores", seeing them embrace playful, bolder looks with more ease than their older peers (something I agree with as a millennial).
Still, despite the differences in taste, there are a few trends that blur the divide. The latest that's caught my eye? The denim top trend.
Blending the millennials's favourite fabrication with Gen Z's love of an interesting top, this dated trend was always destined for multi-generational success. Of course, denim shirts have been in our rotations for years but, in strapless, halter camisole or even bralette form, these trending tops are reminiscent of those seen throughout the '90s and early '00s—a period of time that both generations have a soft spot for.
When styled with typical summer fabrics such as cotton or linen, the rich denim composition lends your outfit a directional edge that can be hard to acquire with summer dressing.
