His recent look could have been donned by Julian Casablanca himself

A quick doomscroll on TikTok reveals that Generation Z has a totally different attitude to nostalgia than Millennials. Namely: they get nostalgic about stuff that they haven't actually lived through. And they're picky too; while you're still banging on about the return of turkey twizzlers , the slay generation are taking style cues from Noughties subcultures and pulling together interesting pastiches in the process.

Timothée Chalamet is a sartorial figurehead in that space, despite falling between the two generations; a ‘zillenial’, if you will. He showed the world that a guy can pull off a sequinned halterneck, and that skinny jeans do have a place on the catwalk once again. And now, with his most recent look, he’s bound to inspire Gen Z to start looking to the likes of Julian Casablancas and Jack White for outfit inspo.

Spotted in New York yesterday, the 27-year-old looked as if he’d walked straight out of band practice. An eyelet-embellished, Alexander McQueen leather jacket took centre stage against crepe trousers and white trainers, accessorised with the Airpods and a baseball cap, and finessed with a guitar case. The look is part of a particular sub-section of the 'indie sleaze' aesthetic, one where band frontmen are held up to sartorial messiah status.

Dsquared2 presented a model with a holey, metallic typography tee paired with star-shaped knee patch jeans. While Gucci’s inter-designer collection, equipped with sequins, burglar beanies and sheer shirting, seemed to evoke almost every era of rock 'n' roll history, from glam to goth, and everything in between. And lest we forget the parka, which had a chokehold on Brit-Pop artists of that era, came in multiple colourways at Dries Van Noten.

So, expect to see a few more Gallagher tributes in your local soon. And perhaps think twice about ditching the skinny jeans.

Rishi Sunak being grilled by Piers Morgan on 100th day as Prime MinisterThe PM is facing pressure over new Tory sleaze claims, crisis in the NHS, the worst strike action in a decade and the economy lingering in the doldrums. Will he be asked about Infosys, Ukraine & Russia? Sunak must be desperate if he’s letting himself be interviewed by Morgan. I wonder how much Morgan paid him😂 He is sitting down with the most notorious right wing bigoted journalist in Britain. Nice choice there RishiSunak increasingly you look dangerously right wing yourself.
