• Millennials and Gen Z are known to have different styles.
• Influencer Krista Lavrusik told Insider that the generations think differently about clothes.
• She told Insider that millennials take fashion criticism seriously, while Gen Z is more easygoing.

Millennials and Gen Z can’t seem to agree on much when it comes to style.

While the young generation embraces baggy, low-rise pants, millennials cling to their high-waisted skinny jeans. There’s also been debate about the “right” way to part your hair and which patterns look cool versus cringey, to list a few examples.

But these surface-level differences might point to something other than simply a difference in denim and hairstyle preferences.

Krista Lavrusik, a 37-year-old fashion creator who describes herself as a millennial mom with Gen Z style, said it actually shows that the two generations just think a lot differently about fashion.

“Gen Z doesn’t take things too personally, and I feel like millennials do,” she told Insider. “Like the whole side part and skinny jeans things — why don’t millennials try changing them and see?”
