The Rise Of Indie Sleaze: Skinny Jeans Are Back!
Is it the end of baggy jeans?
In fashion, styles oftentimes revert to their old selves. We often see fashion bringing back those pieces that were worn and loved during past eras and reviving them with new life. The infamous "Indie Sleaze" era skinny jeans were symbolic for alternative and indie people around the early to mid-2000s.
Now that we've seen that they are making quite a comeback, it leaves one to question what will happen to the baggy pant counterpart? And will it disappear from the fashion scene any time soon?
The return of skinny jeans is proof that fashion is able to evolve and pay tribute to the past at the same time. Characterized by their very slim fit and creating the look of slender and long legs, they have been a fashion staple for years. Back in the day, these jeans were staples with bands like The Strokes, Arctic Monkeys, or The Killers. However, now they've become widely adopted in mainstream wardrobes as well - among celebrities and fashion lovers alike.
Yet It's not just about recycling past designs, it's about re-inventing them and offering a new twist for today's generation that maybe are wearing them for the first time. Designers are experimenting with the skinny jeans by sprucing it up with contemporary fabrics, modern finishes and even accessorizing them to create a new-look edge.
Their versatility also adds to the lasting popularity of them. They can be worn for both formal and casual settings, providing unlimited possibilities for combinations. Consequently, skinny jeans remain a year-round wardrobe essential, whether worn with an oversized knit in the winter or a loose-fitting top in the summer.
It could be said, though, that primarily skinny jeans are now on trend, yet baggy jeans have also managed to keep up with their popularity. Besides, with the consistent rise of streetwear and hip-hop culture, the baggy style is still a people's favorite and will remain so, for a long time.
What makes fashion so beautiful is its diversity, allowing people to express themselves in countless silhouettes and styles. After all, fashion is not a zero-sum game, it's a continuously expanding sea of self-expression and creativity.
