TikTok user MISSY recently posted this video that got over 28K hits demonstrating her transformation titled “Millenial Style Turned Gen Z Style.” As a 30-year-old who has stacks of J. Brand and FRAME Skinny Jeans and an extreme side-part, I was triggered, but I had to see what Gen Z was talking about. So I hopped on the bandwagon and let TikTok get the best of me. I ditched my side part this week (haha) and surprisingly I’m digging my new middle part look. I’ve got to admit… there is some validity to Gen Z’s trendsetting points.
