Millennials and Gen Z may not see eye to eye on everything, but they are both adopting this currently popular "outdated" trend.

      Anyone with family or friends who bridge the Gen Z and millennial gap can easily recognize the significant differences in their preferences, particularly in styling. The older generation has a strong affinity for capsule wardrobes and sharp tailoring, whereas the younger generation embraces their style during a period defined by microtrends and "cores," opting for more playful and bold looks with greater ease than their older counterparts (something I personally resonate with as a millennial). However, despite the contrasting tastes, there are several trends that bridge the gap. The latest trend that has caught my attention? Denim tops.

      Merging the millennials' favorite fabric with Gen Z's fascination with unique tops, this retro trend was bound for cross-generational appeal. Denim shirts have been a staple in our wardrobes for years, but in styles like strapless, halter camisoles, or even bralettes, these trendy tops evoke memories of the '90s and early '00s—a time that both generations cherish. When paired with traditional summer fabrics like cotton or linen, the rich denim texture adds a stylish edge to your outfit that can be challenging to achieve with typical summer wear.

      Read on to discover the most stylish denim tops available right now.
