Skater Jeans: Where To Shop Fall/Winter's Best '90s-Inspired Denim
She was a sk8er girl.
We can all agree that stretchy skinny jeans aren’t exciting anymore. Vintage-style “mom” jeans have made a huge comeback — with searches for the jeans increasing by more than 227 percent in the last year, according to Pinterest — embroidered denim now works for all ages and cropped denim culottes are the shortcut to a laid-back weekend look — but what’s next?
Meet the skater jean — our new favorite; a roomy, high-waisted cut with added slouch. Unlike the ankle-skimming cuts we’ve grown used to over the past few years, the skater jean silhouette is extra-long, pooling over your sneaks or chunky sandals. Offering up a new wave of down tempo elegance, the pants are a serious serving of irreverent, ‘90s raver style. Count us in. Peep our favorite sk8er styles below – pocket chain optional.
