Which is the point at which the gen Z argument perhaps begins to gain a little more latitude. It's a fact that means if you look even a jot less well-aligned than Brad Pitt, say (who himself was a fan of a centre parting back in the day and one of the few who managed to pull the look off), or, indeed, monsieur Chalamet, then you're setting yourself up for a fail. Like stage curtains for a face, they put an undue amount of pressure on one's features to perform – to be perfectly symmetrical, to look flawless and to not fluff any lines. I attended school that week with two fluffy horns protruding from my head until the local barber reopened the following Saturday.Ĭentre partings, after all, are extraordinarily unforgiving. So eager was I for the cut at the nadir of my hormonal funk that I asked my dad to shear a triangular void directly into the fringe of my mass of thick hair in a bid to achieve the look. I would be fibbing if I said I wasn't desperate for curtains when I was of e-boy age, presumably due to the fact that the Becks and the Backstreet Boys were swirling around the pages of Smash Hits magazine (the TikTok of its day) as I was knee deep in pubescent angst. From the floppier styles sported by David Beckham and Jamie from EastEnders to the medieval undercuts rocked by the likes of Kavana and Nick Carter, it was a period that arguably begat some of the most challenging 'dos in the history of hair. The truth of the matter is, however, that the vast majority of adults who attempt to rock a centre-parted hairstyle today look as terrible as they did back in the halcyon ooze of the 1990s.
