It’s official: Knitted cardigans are the biggest revival of the year. The best-dressed guys, the ones not clinging to last year’s color frenzy, have done a complete turnaround and become grandpas. Classy grandpas that get lots of trim. Button-downs, plain t-shirts, boot-cut or at least not-too-tight jeans, and good old-fashioned Sperry Top-Siders are the way to go. Scarves are here to stay, but at least they’re not shemaghs anymore. And hey, go ahead and put a little cap on your head if you feel like it.

In happier news, the all-over-print t-shirt has finally died.

Young trendsetters are also big into customizing their own clothes. Everyone is hacking off the collars of sweatshirts or learning to knit or buying sewing machines and affixing patches, bits of fur, or even whole teddy bears onto their jackets. Parts of the city are starting to look like Harajuku East.

Hairdressers are also not so popular these days—kids have their hair cut into spiky configurations by friends or they do it themselves, saving money that they can then spend on Pink Elephant cigarettes, which are vanilla-flavored pink cigarettes. They’re adorable!
