The Evolution of Style

Haircuts and styles are like everything else in that they are very much associated with the time in which they were such as the 70s and 80s had a wacky and iconic style from their clothes to how they talked. Each generation has its version of what looked good at the time, and certain things have aged well despite the times, and others, well, no one would be caught dead looking that way. Certain hairstyles have resurfaced, such as the mullet, and I'm sure we are close to going back in time and picking up another haircut, such as a resurface in afros. We are in the moment, so it is hard to tell how we will evolve and look back at how we looked in the 2020s compared to the 2040s. We recycle past generations in this generation, and everyone chooses which generation they would like to emulate. I have met people who look straight out of the 2000s, and I've seen people wear outfits as if they were from the 70's.

If you view your parents' yearbook from their senior year of high school, they will tell you how they looked and what they would do for fun or listen to in their free time, and it's nothing that the seniors in high school do nowadays. We are doomed to have the same fate: we will show our children our yearbook and feel like dating again, but I can't picture how the future style will evolve. Things are crazy and wacky as it is, but I can't imagine it getting any crazier. In the movies, they have this image of everyone having tattoos and piercings and colored hair because everything will become so normalized, but I don't think that'll come true, at least not for a long, long time. I am incredibly interested in viewing how things change considering our sense of style; if I had to guess, it would be like the movies in the definition that everything we wear so out of the norm it becomes the norm, it remains the same in which we keep repeating styles from previous generations or becomes the dullest thing possible. We all wear different variations of simple shirts and pants.
