Melbourne Candid Series #1106 Latrobe St

 

On LaTrobe Street where city hums and glows,
A lady walks, her footsteps soft and slow.
Her back to us, a bag swung by her side,
She moves with grace where bustling crowds reside.

Through glass and light of Melbourne’s evening gleam,
She enters in, a quiet, fleeting dream.
The restaurant’s warm doors part wide and clear,
Inviting her to moments held sincere.

In urban pulse where stories intertwine,
She walks unseen, a figure by design.
A glimpse, a step — the city’s gentle beat,
A dance of life where strangers and paths meet.

It appears the man bun and unkempt style remain in vogue. Personally, I favour the clean-cut appearance.

It's intriguing how fashion trends ebb and flow over time. The resurgence of the man bun and a more rugged look perhaps signifies a shift towards embracing individuality and a laid-back ethos.
