Square-rimmed glasses, skinny jeans and 1940s clothing are all subject to aesthetic considerations.

Finally, we rank our own taste.\n\nFor more information on Aleph Insights visit our website https://alephinsights.com or to get in touch about our podcast email podcast@alephinsights.com\n\nImage: Joe Shlabotnik via Flickr
