It’s bold. It’s dramatic. And it works just as well on both men and women. It’s not the ubiquitous suits we’re talking about but rather a dandy hair trend that was spotted time and again at the Met Gala. The style in question is kiss curls — a retro revival that is equal parts versatile, sleek and chic.
