Consider this the coolest possible update to the pattern once beloved by millennials so much that we put it on our rugs, bedding, nails, and even peplum tops; preferably in mint and paired with a coral statement necklace.
As pointed out by multiple TikTok users, millennials were known to top off these chevron ensembles with nude lips, as demonstrated by Jenna Ortega, who managed to revive the combination without making me full-body cringe.
The 2010s were truly such a wild time for fashion, and its trends are making their way back into the zeitgeist about ten years ahead of schedule. So far, we’ve already seen the return of ballet flats, skinny jeans, and skull-patterned scarves, with the statement necklace poised to make a comeback any day now. Even so, I thought we’d seen the last of chevron—at least without a Missoni label attached.
Of course, Jenna Ortega is the only witch who could cite the deep magic quite like this. But then again, if Wednesday Addams can come out of her coma, why can’t chevron?
