Stylephile poses the question: Is 2013 the year of the bang? Our question: Isn't every other year the year of the bang? While there are certainly some leading ladies who recently took the plunge into face framing fringe (Michelle Obama, Kate Middleton, Karlie Kloss), we do agree with the fact that bangs are a tricky style to pull off. But that doesn't mean they aren't prevalent, and it also doesn't mean you can't grow them out. Thoughts? [Stylephile]
