The subject of the rise and fall of skinny jeans has been an interesting topic of fashion conversation over the last few years. For me, skinny jeans have always been my real one true love. Of course, I’ve had flings with baggy jeans, boyfriend jeans and mom jeans, but I always find myself returning to my favourite pair of trusty black skinnies. And I certainly don’t seem to be the only one…
Now don’t get me wrong, we’re not talking about those uncomfortable skinny jeans circa 2008 that felt as though they were just that bit too restricting. No. We’re talking about the modern skinny jean, a perfect accompaniment to a crisp white shirt or baggy knitted sweater. The skinny jeans of today feel more modern in style, and are often cut from a tougher denim than old-school ‘jeggings’ (remember those?).
The re-birth of skinny jeans is finally here, and we couldn’t be more excited for it. Of course, that doesn’t mean we won’t be opting for our baggier denim on certain occasions!
