Millennial pink hair. Thigh-high boots styled with T-shirt dresses. Dare we even mention the Harambe of it all?

Lately, you’d easily believe we’ve travelled back into a sepia-toned, bygone era. Social media has been inundated with grainy images of purple sunsets, selfies adorned with flower crowns and outfits that largely consist of ripped jeans, plastic chokers and olive-green utility jackets.
