Recognize this scenario?: You’re flipping through the latest issue of Vogue (yes, you still read the physical magazine because you’re iconic like that) or scrolling through your favorite stylist’s Instagram stories, and you’re speechless: You can’t picture yourself in any of these styles labeled “hottest.” When did you become so out of touch? you wonder.
Don’t worry: You’re not alone — and you’re not out of touch! The fact that you’re even trying to keep up is proof of that.
