In this episode of Shirin All The Things, we unpack the outfits that defined our youth (cargo pants, clashing plaids, and way too many layers), the trends we refused to follow (looking at you, low-rise jeans), and the ones we secretly miss (hipster era forever).

Along the way, we discuss why Trever’s w...
