ATTENTION UNIVERSE: Kylie Jenner (AKA the youngest member of the Kardashian/Jenner clan) is trying to set a new fashion trend, and I have a few too many feelings about it.
I realise that Kylie is a style aficionado who has almost 80 million Instagram followers, while I’m just a writer from Melbourne with perhaps an inflated sense of self-importance, but hear me out.

I can just look at them, laugh and know that when Kylie looks back in 20 years, she'll probably laugh too.
You can always say no
