Every time I put on a skirt, I’m suddenly eight years old again. I’m watching The Nutcracker, my parents having clothed me and my sisters in itchy, matching outfits. Immediately, I’m confronted by a visceral desire to wear trousers.
This feeling is not just a shift in personal style, but something more pertinent to the current political climate. So why is it that Gen Z/millennials like me (and the fashion world as a whole) has swayed towards genderless or gender-neutral clothing?
