The keffiyeh trend has reached its saturation point—we mean you, Lauren Bush!—and is now confusing cabdrivers. "You visit Saudi Arabia?" last night's cabbie asked me. "You wear something from my country!" The explanation was unspeakable: "Actually, sir. Some twentysomethings, who live in the city and are sort of maybe 'hip,' we enjoy appropriating things from other cultures for no reason other than because it's sort of ironic or maybe meta and edgy-ish and shit, actually, I have no idea why I'm wearing this and I hope this ride is over soon."
