Same with my 20-something sons. And yes, it's been around for years.

My husband loves these but hates the ones where the collar is tall enough to hit his cheeks. We're having issues finding ones with shorter collars or even flat.

No thanks. These have been around forever and look great on guys of all ages.

I love this trend for Gen Alpha. I agree it makes the kids look sharp and worth getting to know, instead of like they just rolled out of bed. I enjoyed watching the videos on the Know Your Meme page.

Hope I can convince my boys.

Debatable.

As a fashion stylist, I love when more classic styles that we might have in our wardrobes anyway become a “trend” for a while. It’s a great time to stock up on them if it’s your thing. For example, chocolate brown is the “new black”. It happens to look fabulous on me so I am buying everything I can in the color. I will be thankful I made the investment in a few years ( or months since the trend cycle seems to be getting shorter and shorter) when the color isn’t as popular but it’s still a good option for me.

Not debatable. Gen Z is through 2012. My 14 yo is 2011.

Ok your kid made the cut off by one year. They’re a cusper and like any other generational cusp will identify with aspects of both generations. They surely have more in common with their 11 year old gen alpha peers than the 28 year old oldest gen Z’s. I teach 10th graders and they are not like Gen Z who I taught for the last 12 years, they are a clearly distinct group of kids.
